Muslims Defend Islam From Being Hijacked by ISIS
The New York Times ^ | NOV. 19, 2015 | JONAH BROMWICH

Posted on 11/20/2015 12:35:39 PM PST by detective

Muslims around the world who have condemned the deadly attacks in Paris carried out by militants of the Islamic State are speaking out to defend their religion.

The attacks that killed 129 people were not the work of Muslims, many say, adding that they see it as their responsibility to protect Islam from being hijacked by extremists.

This is the latest theme from the Democrats and the MSM.

ISIS is not Muslim. Only ISIS commits bad acts. Groups like al Qaeda, Boko Haram, Hamas, Hezb'Allah, Al-Shabaab, The Muslim Brotherhood and others never commit violent acts.

The article also claims that Muslims are victims:

"hate crimes against Muslims have risen in the United States and abroad in the last year. A report released by the F.B.I. this week showed that Muslims were the second most targeted religious group in hate crimes last year, after Jews. Responding to that report, Mark Potok, a senior fellow at the Southern Poverty Law Center, wrote that the targeting of Muslims was "probably a reaction" to news reports concerning the Islamic State."

The democrats and the media threw a collective fit over the Muslim student in Texas with his phony "clock" hidden in his backpack. The brutal killing of Christians is fine with them.

Not all Nazis are bad Nazis, says the New York Times. There are in fact moderate Nazis who would rather see the extermination of Jews and other non-believers occur at a slower pace. And they are willing to consider assimilation into the Master Race rather than putting people to death, at least for some groups.

Let me guess, 1% of Muslims are condemning the attacks while the other 99% are dancing in the streets?

Muslims don’t want people to think their religion was hijacked, get busy and dispatch the “hijackers”.

Otherwise, Islam has just taken on too much baggage and deserves to join the graveyard of other religions, now lying in the mists of antiquity.

Honestly, does anyone offer up prayers and sacrifices to Zeus any more? Or to Odin? Maybe Baal?

Perhaps we may persuade the Iranians to again take up the Zoroastrian religion, which was much more merciful and just than whatever it is that Islam has become. Oh, that’s right, Islam DROVE OUT Zoroastrianism from the Persian Empire in the Seventh Century,

So a religion CAN be killed, utterly destroyed, root, stem, branch, twig, leaf, flower, and fruit.

Islam was born and spread by the sword, perhaps it should also die by the sword.

Take care what rules of engagement you set, they may one day be used against you.

Islam has been an agressive murder cult since its founding , patterned as it is on a mass murderer and mercenary-for-hire

but

even if we were to accept the author’s (ridiculous) postulation that Islam has only recently been “hijacked” by terrorist murder cultist bent on invading and subjugating USA and Europe

the result is the same.

we are in mortal danger
we need to repatriate (send back to their own countries, you know...the 57 countries they’ve already taken over by aggressive terrorism invasions and mass murders)

ASAP!

One wonders what these “moderates” defending their ideas of Islam from ISIS would have to say about the behavior of Mohammed and the other founders of Islam. Sheesh.

But....but, Hillary and Obama do not recognize ISLAMIC Muslim extremists. There aren’t any. /s

These are criminals, you know, and ARE just identifying as Islamic. /s

We should lay off Muslims everywhere and just point from the clouds where these “criminals” are, but we don’t need no stinkin’ DATA BASE! /s

We need to bring them to justice in the local court house and not get “un-American” about it. /s

WHERE IS GENERAL PATTON WHEN YOU NEED HIM???

Oh, I forgot... we do have the PATTON DOCTRINE!

His name is TRUMP, 2016.

Prove it!

Start turning in jihadis before they attack.
Start turning in imams who are preaching hate and violence.

Until then I assume you will stand there and watch as I am beheaded.

I can buy the message that there are different degrees of muslims. They vary from the rabid pitbull variety, to the friendly 'would not harm a flea' pup.
The problem is that they all claim to follow a book that tells them to act like a rabid dog. Unleash murder and mayhem everywhere.
As long as a muslim claims to follow such a book, you will never know when they will actually start following it literally - rather than allegorizing all of the violent instructions as harmless spiritual chastisements.

Who are these so called Muslims around the world, who condemn the deadly attacks? I haven't seen them.
