The deputy director of the ACLU of Michigan said in an op-ed Monday that she refuses to condemn radical Islamic terrorism in order to prove her allegiance to the United States.
Rana Elmir wrote that she's "consistently and aggressively asked" to condemn Islamic terrorism, and is tired of having her religious views linked to atrocities like the terror attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, and in Paris and San Bernardino this year.
"I emphatically refuse," she wrote in an opinion piece in The Washington Post.
The op-ed was titled: "Stop asking me to condemn terrorists just because I'm Muslim."

Good comments. Everyday, more and more Americans are waking up to the true nature of Islam.
The Third Jihad - Radical Islam's Vision for America - (A Clarion Project Film)
Islam has encoded in its teachings- murder, lying, plunder, slavery, rape, warfare, and even terrorism as part of its official religious doctrine. Jesus said that the thief comes only to steal, kill, and destroy, and this is exactly what Islam has done from its beginning. No other religion so completely fits the description in the Bible of the beast and false prophet than Islam.
Islam is different from all the other religions that do not believe in Jesus, because Islam officially declares that Jesus is not the Son of God (Quran 4: 171; 18: 4-5), which is the Biblical definition of Antichrist: "Who is the liar but he who denies that Jesus is the Christ? This is the Antichrist, he who denies the Father and the Son" (1 John 2: 22).
The spread of Islam has left a trail of blood, suffering, and destruction like no other ideology in world history. History, and even this present age, shows us that Islam is a very violent and fascist religion, full of hate for Christians and Jews. No one could invent a more evil cult.

This is simply a war by Islam against non believers. Once you get that clear you can move forward on this thing.

Any Christian would have zero issues condemning anyone committing atrocities and claiming they are doing it under the principles of Christianity! Muslims unable to do this are part of the problem.

âStop asking me to condemn terrorists just because Iâm Muslim.âFair enough, because I refuse to condemn killing Muslims who think terrorism is okay.

interestingly, if other episodes of terror / violence were done by the perps in the name of Christianity, I think it would be fair game for pagans to look at us, and say, “won’t you condemn these things?”.
And we would, of course, and we would also explain - clearly - why these things (in my hypothetical) done in the name of Christianity are actually anathema to the faith, and we would work that much harder to explain the true faith anywhere/everywhere.
The problem is, jihad is what Islam is and what Islam does. And the “terrorists” are simply jihadists, who are more obedient than their squishy co-religionists.
Or as you rightly said:
She refuses because she supports it.

Now why would anyone link those terrorists acts to Islam? /sarc

Is this broad kidding me? Hey sister, the ones who are causing the most problems for Muslims are Muslims. PERIOD. Self defense from your fellow wackos is not a “phobia”.

Yet she blankets “mostly white males” for other acts of targeting groups. Dylan Roof is the only one she can name. So does he get a pass since non white Muslims are behind most of the Islamic terrorism?
She won’t condemn her own kind but don’t you know she was all over the Confederate flag issue and supports racist “diversity” programs
Ugly azz hypocrite. And she’s not even a lawyer, masquerades as a “journalist” Ten to one she’s an ACLU “affirmative action” hire

She refuses to condemn jihad because as a muslim she is commanded by their prophet and book to support it.
Islam has been at war with everyone else since 622 A.D.
It must remain so until there is only Islam.
Or no Islam.
Mad Mo made it so.
