The Muslims are the Ones Who Failed to Present a Positive Image of Islam
"Osama bin Laden is a terrorist, criminal, murderer and villain, and every other inhuman description applies to him as well. However, he is definitely not responsible for the rising [level] of hatred towards Muslims in the West. This hatred is reflected in numerous new measures that have recently been adopted by Western governments in an effort to stop the stream of Muslims entering America and Europe. The governments also implement laws that limit freedoms and violate human rights as another precaution, to protect the safety of their citizens...
"Even though Muslims boast that Islam is the [fastest]-growing religion in America and in the West... it is [actually] the religion that is most incomprehensible to the Europeans and the Americans.
"What is truly saddening is that Islam is being associated with terrorism due to the terrorists' frequent use of Koranic verses and hadiths to justify their terrorist actions...
"Statements made by preachers in the mosques, in articles and on various media channels accusing non-Muslims of heresy, the [preachers'] curses, and their characterization of Jews as the descendents of apes and pigs - [all these] cause Westerners to perceive Islam as an intolerant religion that rejects religious pluralism.
"The Muslims, therefore, are responsible for the distorted image of Islam prevalent in the modern West, and they are the ones who failed to present a positive image of Islam. Thus, they are responsible for the problems experienced by the Muslims today...

"Osama bin Laden didn't force anyone to go to Iraq, murder its people and destroy its institutions. He didn't force anyone to murder innocent people in Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, America and Europe. Bin-Laden did not tell the Muslims in the West: 'Hate the country that gave you shelter when you fled [from your homelands], made you rich when you were poor, fed you when you were hungry, gave you freedom after the bondage you suffered in your Muslim countries, and educated you when you were ignorant.'
"You caused all these catastrophes out of your own choice and your own free will... and failed to repay the kindness [shown to you]. So what do you expect the West [to do] when it sees its citizens being murdered in the name of religion, when it [experiences] hatred in the name of religion and suffers the damages of terrorism [perpetrated] in the name of religion? It is only natural that the West should hate you and tighten the rope around your necks, so you do not 'invade it from within' as you declare in your announcements and sermons...
"The truth that we must deal with today is that people in the West no longer trust Muslims in general. The Muslims in the West must therefore sever their ties with the Muslims in the east, and repair their relations with the Western societies by announcing that they accept the humane values on the basis of which they were received in the West. They must also sever their ties with the religious clerics and their fatwas... "
The problem islam has...
It is impossible to convince people of a positive image of Islam when islam is continually butchering worldwide all who disagree with it.
This will happen when pigs fly.
.
islam is the problem.
islam is the problem.
L
Just thought it should be said again.
In other words, rebuke the devil himself, Mohammad, and accept a loving and forgiving God and his messengers. Become a Jew or a Christian, period!
Like our health care system, it's so f*cked up, there ain't no fixing it.
Calling Mister Obvious Man ...
The problem is these people have been acting this way for 1400 years. Invasion, occupation, mass murder for their "religion" is nothing new.
Interesting how we complain when MSM distortions serve the agenda of the other side. But when those distortions serve our agenda we support the distortions. How about: "Each INDIVIDUAL is responsible for his own actions." There are individuals who claim to be Christian, Muslim, Pagan, Atheist, etc who do very bad things. There are individuals of many religions who do good things. Nobody should be allowed to move the responsibility from the individual to some nebulous group.
If anyone, Conservatives and Republicans should know how the MSM can blow out of proportion an incident with individuals to smear the group. Eric Rudolph is not typical of conservatives. Jim Jones is not typical of Christians. Gacy is not typical of Catholics. Some idiot Mormon is not typical of Mormons, etc, etc.
Billions of Muslims are not beheading Christians. Millions of Catholics are not raping young boys, etc, etc.
Many Many catholics are speaking out and taking action to reform the catholic church and make those responsible pay.
The muslim voices we hear, we can count on one hand, and they aren't calling for reform, they are warning us of whats to come.
IM not a but fan of polls...but it would be interesting to know how many people actually buy into the whole religion of peace BS and how many people accept that Islam is the problem.
[The problem is these people have been acting this way for 1400 years. Invasion, occupation, mass murder for their "religion" is nothing new.]
Ye shall know them by their fruits.
And so we know them and thiers and it has never stopped them from their objective to murder Jewish and Christian bible believing people and doing Satan's work in trying to destrroy God's Israel. God is setting the stage for final day prophecy fulfillment, the Day of the Lord is a day of wrath and vexation, it will be hard for a man to even understand the 21 judgements of the wrath of God's Christ on the unbeliving and religious world.
