Obama: “Overwhelming majority of Muslims reject” jihadists’ view of Islam
Washington Times via JihadWatch.org ^ | February 1, 2015 | Robert Spencer

obama499.9% of Muslims, Obama says, reject the terrorists’ understanding of Islam. That still leaves 1.3 million jihadis or jihad sympathizers, but never mind that for now — where is this 99.9%? Where are the Muslim organizations that are dedicated to working against the jihadists? Where are the Muslim marches and protests against al-Qaeda, the Islamic State, and all the hijackers of Islam? We have seen many protests lately by Muslims against the latest Muhammad cartoons in Charlie Hebdo. Where are the Muslim protests against the killing of the cartoonists and in support of the freedom of speech? Why is this 99.9% so silent and passive in the face of this “hijacking” of their religion?

“Obama says terrorists not motivated by true Islam,” by Dave Boyer, The Washington Times, February 1, 2015:

Criticized for avoiding the phrase “Islamic extremism,” President Obama said he doesn’t want to alienate the majority of peace-loving Muslims as the U.S. fights to defeat terrorist networks around the world.

“I think that for us to be successful in fighting this scourge, it’s very important for us to align ourselves with the 99.9 percent of Muslims who are looking for the same thing we’re looking for: order, peace, prosperity,” Mr. Obama said on CNN. “And so I don’t quibble with labels.”

The president also said he doesn’t want to “overinflate” the importance of terrorist groups by sending U.S. troops to occupy countries in the Middle East or by “playing whack-a-mole” against terrorist leaders because it drains America’s financial strength….

“I think we all recognize that this is a particular problem that has roots in Muslim communities, and that the Middle East and South Asia are sort of ground zero for us needing to win back hearts and minds, particularly when it comes to young people,” Mr. Obama said. “But I think we do ourselves a disservice in this fight if we are not taking into account the fact that the overwhelming majority of Muslims reject this ideology. I reject a notion that somehow that creates a religious war, because the overwhelming majority of Muslims reject that interpretation of Islam.”…

"Where be da proof?"

The proof lies in the thousands upon thousands of Moslems who take to the streets almost daily to protest the atrocities while they simultaneously form watch groups to insure the safety of non-Moslems passing through their neighborhoods and vigorously insist on assimilation of their families - especially the youth - in Western culture and the values of their host countries.

And of course further proof can be found by their loyal service and fierce warrior ethic in combating the fundmentalists wherever it may be found.

.....What?!?.......

Same bullshit.
Different day.

For the last 20 years, at least, polls taken in all Islamic countries have sorta more or less confirmed that sane people do not consider 20% an "overwhelming majority."

They may, but their foundational scriptures do not.

Nice graphic. It should have also included, “and bankrolling the global jihad with my Islamic tithes.”

So why aren’t they out in the streets showing the rest of us that they mean us no harm? Where are their protests or communal letters trying to distance themselves away from the violence and Jihad?

By the time that happens you will probably be too old to attend the march.

Moderate or Radical - each has a function and an end goal - and that is the advancement of Islam.

There are no freedoms in Islam - just submission.
