"non-violent muslims"???  Is that like a pro-abortion Catholic?  How many of these could there be?

[RockinRight]

Three or 4 anyway...

No, I am not exaggerating. Click the pic, go to "last," and read backwards.
If you are not informed about this stuff, you will be made sick. If you are informed, you will be made mad, all over again.

[Cicero]

There is some evidence that Islam is, from the beginning and in its essence, a religion of bullies, or of people who suck up to bullies, a type that will be familiar to most of us.

In the early days, one group of North Africans were converted to Islam because they were stupified and filled with admiration by the violence of the Muslim bullies who killed their friends.

Bin Ladin appealed to a similar idea when he said that when Muslims see a weak horse and a strong horse, they admire a strong horse.

The difference in the concept of martyrdom is also striking. A Christian martyr is someone who suffers and dies for the sake of God. A Muslim martyr is a man who dies in the process of killing as many people as possible, preferably women and children. It was noticeable that when a lot of young Pakistanis went to Afghanistan to be martyred, they were mocked and scorned because they died without managing to kill anyone in the process.

Yet another indication in support of this analysis is Muslim treatment of women and slaves. They are natural-born slavers, who take pleasure in tormenting the weak and helpless. Muslims don't have a monopoly on the abuse of women, but it seems to be built into their whole system of religion and culture.

In short, Islam is a religion made to order for those with a propensity to be cowardly bullies.

It simply means that their fear rules them, not their faith. But then it is fairly obvious that it takes a coward to blow up a bus full of children. This article just says that they are all cowards, there is nobody with the moral foundation in Islam to stand up for what is right.

It means that there is no moderate muslims, just tyrants and cowards.

[Freebird Forever]

Assuming this new data is believable (something one must always consider when dealing with muslims) the only sensible approach is to harvest the wheat and the weeds.

Then replant the field with a different crop.

[Noachian]

But it seems that many more have "thought twice" and chosen not to risk death to themselves or their family.

Then they are between a rock and a hard spot, because the war will come to them no matter how hard they try to stay away from it.

To be a muslim fence-sitter, in the hopes of staying out of the fray, is useless when Islam itself is the target.

Mr. Blair has stated that only 1% of British muslims are extreme. So 99% are terrified of 1%? Hardly.

[nikos1121]

This is pure unadulterated Irish BS. People know what is right and what is wrong. The Muslims in this country obviously have some cultural problem where this is concerned.

If there is any fear factor, it's because this religion silences their women from speaking out. There is no excuse for their men.

On the other hand regardless of our ethnicity we are Americans first and our heritage second. It sounds like Iraqi Muslims who were born in England have a greater allegiance to their religion than they do to their British citizenship.

I am unimpressed with the lame excuses this group of American citizens give to their fellow Americans. It did not take long in contrast, for Americans of Lebanese heritage to go into the streets to show their support for the Lebanese in their country.

I suggest asking your Muslim friends, neighbors and co-workers next time you see them, just what they have done or propose to do to help fight the war on terror. If they say nothing, then ask them WHY?

[timsbella]

"In short, Islam is a religion made to order for those with a propensity to be cowardly bullies."

And like bullies, they continue to succeed because of the BYSTANDERS who do nothing (read liberals/MSM)

Bullies only change when you put up a fight, shame them, or call them on it. They are fueled by those who like to watch or are too afraid to say anything. Go America GO!

"I suggest asking your Muslim friends, neighbors and co-workers next time you see them, just what they have done or propose to do to help fight the war on terror. If they say nothing, then ask them WHY?"

Asking your co-workers could probably get you fired in many states.

[CzarChasm]

the author makes some interesting points, none of which justifies silence in the least; at best this is a pathetic plea for sympathy. 99% should not be terrified of 1% unless the 99% are unarmed and cowardly

the 'pressure to conform' is part of the religion - remember that "Islam" means "submission"

Two admonitions worth remembering:
1. all that is required for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing
2. the fire does not distinguish the cotton bolls with weevils from those without

Multiple articles have been written encouraging Islam to 'heal itself' of this dangerous intellectual cancer. These articles should be heeded, and quickly, before the world declares "enough!" and follows the path of the Daleks^*

_{(^* Daleks are mechanical villains from the Dr. Who series noted for their extreme intolerance and tendency to exterminate others on the slightest pretext.)}

"I suggest asking your Muslim friends, neighbors and co-workers next time you see them, just what they have done or propose to do to help fight the war on terror. If they say nothing, then ask them WHY?"

It's kind of like asking other FReepers why they don't fight against illegal aliens. That question got many people banned.

""non-violent muslims"??? Is that like a pro-abortion Catholic? How many of these could there be?"

Probably most of them, but the violent element is SO violent that they are pretty much lost in all calculations. If they stand up to the enemy within, they and worse yet, their families, may suffer horrible retribution.

In a situation like this, the only way I see to fix a broken society is militarization and BRUTAL suppression of all fanatic elements, sort of like what saddam did. The problem, of course, is when you have a saddam-strength government, you have a saddam-style brutal regime.

I often think the US is just biding its time until something really bad gets through the net and happens here and they use that as public justification for a far more pervasive campaign against muslim fanatics everywhere they matter to us.

[Trimegistus]

Trouble is, this is more excuse-making. Muslims aren't silent because they hate us and want us dead, they're just silent because they're too cowardly and and weak to oppose the fanatics. That's _so_ reassuring.

[nikos1121]

"I suggest asking your Muslim friends, neighbors and co-workers next time you see them, just what they have done or propose to do to help fight the war on terror. If they say nothing, then ask them WHY?"

You're right don't ask them anything...

[nikos1121]

I think it's fair to say that the angry rhetoric among ordinarily peaceful people on this site is buiding against AMericans of the Muslim faith who are sitting back, saying and doing nothing when innocent people are being killed. Frankly too, we're all getting tired of the anti-Isreal mind set.

I don't know who said that, "A race has arrived when it can produce a few theives and scoundrols without the entire race taking the blame."

In this regard, the Muslims in this country have a long way to go to show other Americans that you are, as a race, law abiding and loyal to this country.

Unless there are some changes, I think you will see a growing number of Americans insisting on racial profiling.
