Assumption that there is a sharp divide between Good Islam and Bad Islam(truncated)
https://www.jihadwatch.org ^ | 05/14/2016 | Ralph Sidway

The February 11 edition of FrontPage Magazine contains an insightful piece by Daniel Greenfield on our failed counterterrorism strategy. Our policy, he wrote, is based on an artificial distinction between “Good Islam” and “Bad Islam.” Our aim, he continued, is to “convince Good Islam to have nothing to do with Bad Islam.”

Ironically, as Greenfield observed, “our diplomats and politicians don’t verbally acknowledge the existence of Bad Islam.” Instead they claim that the “bad Muslims” (the terrorists) aren’t really Muslims at all.

“The assumption that there is a sharp divide between Good Islam and Bad Islam is a comforting [but] also a dangerous illusion. In the short run, holding such an assumption will make us feel good about our broad-mindedness. In the long run, we will be very sorry for having played this dangerous game of let’s pretend.”

There is no such ‘divide’.

Moderate Muslims are the tall grass in which terrorist Jihadis hide undisturbed.

We see so-called ‘masses’ of islam celebrating when their terrorists commit another murder.

Those are the ‘moderates’.

They might serve you in a restaurant, but they’ll stand by and watch if you’re being decapitated.

IOW, there is no moderate islam....just their own version of the ‘silent majority’.

from the article :

“Good Islam and Bad Islam are two halves of the same coin … we’re trying to convince Dr. Jekyll to help us fight Mr. Hyde. And Dr. Jekyll might even help us out, until he turns into Mr. Hyde.”

Islam = Islam = Islam = Islam = Islam = Islam = Islam = Islam = Islam = Islam = Islam = Islam = Islam = Islam

Those that can’t see that are the most ignorant of people and are doomed to the beheading that comes with being stupid.

An ‘extremist’ will saw your head off; the ‘moderate’ holds the camera...

Any non-Muslim who can’t discuss the meaning of these words of Arabic should totally shut his pie-hole, since he’s dangerously ignorant of the subject matter. I might add a few to this list, or perhaps you can suggest more.

Jihad
Sharia
Dawa
Hijara
Dhimmitude
Taqiyya
Jizya

Nearly all Muslims support the eventual global imposition of Islamic law. The active terrorists are just one part of a “good muslim/bad muslim” Mutt and Jeff routine.

“I can’t control my crazy cousin Mohamid! Just tell your girls not to wear tight clothes, that should calm him down.”

And we fall for it, step by step surrendering.

There is no good Islam.
All muslims are obligated to seek the subjugation, conversion or death of anyone not muslim.

Mad Mo made it so.

“our diplomats and politicians don’t verbally acknowledge the existence of Bad Islam.”

They have it A$$ Backwards.

There is no good Islam. “Moderate” or “good” Muslims aren’t real Muslims at all. They don’t follow their own scriptures.

That would be like calling people who don’t believe in Jesus (the bible), Christians.

An oxymoron, heavy on the “moron”.

I will believe in “good Muslims”, the day I see them, BY THE THOUSANDS, marching in the streets, denouncing radical Islam.

Until then, “either you are with us or you are with the terrorists”. (George W. Bush)

Reams of examples and religious citations from their own doctrine and dogma, a plethora of concern-Muslim organizations (e.g., CAIR) dedicated to the illusion that Islam is peaceful and the majority of Muslims are ‘moderate’, and our own liberal media and politicians’ scheming to excuse it all in the name of diversity and inclusion will be our end if we do not recognize the viper in our midst.

Isaiah had some good advice in evaluating various aspects of everyday life.

5:20

...Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; and ... that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! ...

If the “Bad” were truly a minority, then the number of “Good” rebuking them would be more obvious.

The few Muslim apologists in the public eye, are themselves at risk from the extremists.

When the majority of Muslims agree you can kill a kid who becomes atheist and a wife who cheats, even moderate Muslims are not moderate by Western standards.
