Islamic Groups Rush to Defend Their Faith
Patriot News Daily ^ | 11/15/2015 | Staff

Posted on 11/18/2015 3:52:18 AM PST by HomerBohn

The Council on American-Islamic Relations has a reminder for the country. In the wake of the worst terrorist attack on Western soil since 9/11, the group posted a tweet: We must remember

#TerrorismHasNoReligion

CAIR wasn't the only group defending the faith. Their counterparts across the sea - the Muslim Council of Britain - issued a statement that condemned the Paris attacks while carefully separating them from religion. "This attack is being claimed by the group calling themselves 'Islamic State.' There is nothing Islamic about such people and their actions are evil, and outside the boundaries set by our faith," the group said.

And, in the Democratic debate Saturday, Hillary Clinton went out of her way to claim that we "are not at war with Islam." While we can acknowledge that, to some degree, these sentiments have the ring of truth, we must also recognize that we've long since swung too far into the Tolerance Trap.

Yes, we should make the distinction between peaceful Muslims who cry just as we do when these attacks happen. No, we should not stoop so low as to believe that every mosque in America is a terrorist cell in disguise. But when we are out there pretending that Islam has nothing to do with it, we're only setting ourselves up for more heartbreak, more bloodshed, and more destruction.

These terrorist groups are not just using the "brand" of Islam because they like the colors or they think it sounds cool to position themselves as holy warriors. They are true believers. You don't blow yourself and others to kingdom come if you don't think there's any kingdom to come.

Democrats (and many others around the world) think that if we call radical Islam what it is, it will drive more and more moderate Muslims to join the terrorist cause. They will see America as a great Christian/Jewish evil whose ultimate aim is to wipe out their religion. Thus, they believe that if they bend over backwards to preach a message of tolerance, we can win back the hearts and minds of the moderate majority.

This is the very definition of stupidity. You don't fight lies with more lies. By doing that, you're giving away one of the best advantages we have over these terrorists. Because when you dig beneath the surface, study the Quran, and listen to what the leaders of ISIS and Al Qaeda are saying, you'll soon discover that they aren't just using Islam as a front. They derive their power from it.

And when our Western leaders are telling would-be jihadists that ISIS is "fake Islam," it's a trivial matter for these groups to prove that they aren't. And so thousands of men and women around the world look at ISIS, look at the West, and see clearly that ISIS is the one telling the truth.

We need to get real about the enemy here. Political correctness is stifling and dangerous at all times, but it is particularly devastating in this war. There is no room for it. There is no reason for it. It's pretty difficult to give lowlifes like ISIS the moral high ground, but somehow these activists and their allies in the DNC have managed to do it.

Unfortunately, America, under the one-party system, isn't interested in winning any wars....especially this war against terrorism. We need a dramatic change from the top down.

Islam teaches adherents to deceive and lie to gain trust of the west so they can be brutally murdered.

Islam is not a religion, but a way of their life.

The USA may not be at war right now with Islam, but Islam is sure is at war with the USA.

If Terrorism Has No Religion, why did President Obama give Osama Bin Laden a taxpayer funded respectful Islamic funeral ceremony?

Please tell me why I should not believe that CAIR is not a front group for the Islamofaciast terrorits?

If CAIR meant what they said, they would be arming to fight Islamic State and not trashing the critics of Islamic State.

CAIR’s leadership’s own Islamist supremacist dreams for America are already a matter of public record.

CAIR is a political front organization for the Muslim brotherhood directing and assisting the Obamabastard in formulating public policy.

FBI Cuts Ties With CAIR Following Terror Financing Trial
By Joseph Abrams
·Published January 30, 2009
·

The FBI is severing its once-close ties with the nation’s largest Muslim advocacy group, the Council on American-Islamic Relations, amid mounting evidence that it has links to a support network for Hamas.

All local chapters of CAIR have been shunned in the wake of a 15-year FBI investigation that culminated with the conviction in December of Hamas fundraisers at a trial where CAIR itself was listed as an unindicted co-conspirator.

Give them another day, and they'll start complaining about islamophobes and fearful of backlashes ...... We've seen this play book many many times.

Did they also call out those in their faith, celebrating the massacre, not moooooslems? That would include a whole lot of their people.

Read the Quran. It is not peaceful. Anyone who is a true believer will do exactly what the Quran tells them too.

So “peaceful Muslims” is the same nomenclature as “luke-warm Christians”....

Obama probably had a photo of Osama above his bed, but, like the Clintons, he had to be sacrificed for the better good.

(Like poor Vince Foster)

Islam is not a religion and should be banned and all mosques shut down in the United States! Islam is a twisted idealogy. Moslems are misguided people, slaves to a violent form of socio-political authoritarianism.

But terrorism DOES have a religion.
Check the statistics on terrorist attacks for the past 15 year olone and 98 percent of them were by muslims. Muslim follow Islam, Islam there for is the religion of terrorism.
Just plain common sense.

#TerrorismHasNoReligion


So they’re saying islam isn’t a religion? I didn’t think it was either. Such a perverted, barbaric, and bizarre belief shouldn’t be considered a religion.

What does ISIS do that the murderous thieving child-raping war criminal Mohammed hasn't done or advocated?
