I guess that I wasn’t clear. I didn’t say that they should make a habit of attacking governing systems or religions when there is no state of war. I said, why do they have trouble grasping the concept that Islam is violence.
Besides, are you under the delusion that we are NOT at war?? OK.
Now, as to your final question. Islamic violence, of course, is not rare. It’s as common, and as natural, as dirt. Doesn’t seem to get much play in the media, though.
By that I mean, nobody is connecting the dots in the lame stream media. This preacher is doing so. So just maybe we need more of people like him.
That’s not my point, though. My point is that we should defend his right to do so.
Further, for some strange reason, perhaps because they offend me so often, I am not at all concerned about offending Muslims. If they can’t take it, they can always go back to the hellhole they came here to escape.
We are not at war with Islam (it is probably unconstitutional) but we are at war with SOME Muslims not all.
As to the refusal to understand the nature of Islam I would put most of that at the feet of the education system. Since the Catholic Church has had periods of violent repression of dissident groups it is easy for the duplicitous to equate the behavior of the Church (500 years ago) with that of Islamists today. So the argument that one of the pillars of Western Civilization was just as violent can only be refuted by those with some actual knowledge of history. They are quite rare in this society.
I still maintain that the best way to refute Islam is to actually read the Koran. It is hard to get through being nonsense filled and all but I read it in the crapper where I had no choice.
