The proverbial lone voice crying out in the (Muslim) wilderness(redundancy).

Listen more closely; he's singing the same, old, tired tune, with just a new verse or two.

Muslims must reform or get dragged into a war that they will end up losing.

But concerned Muslims are asking where this Muslim outrage was when the Taliban insulted the Islamic tradition of respect for other religions in their destruction of the statues of Buddha at Bamiyan?

The Islamic tradition of respect that forbids dhimmi infidels to repair or build churches/synagogues? Or the Islamic tradition of respect that seizes churches and synagogues and turns them into mosques? Or the Islamic tradition exemplified by turning one of the holiest churches in Christianity into a haven for terrorists?

There's just so many tolerant Islamic traditions, it's difficult to choose among them.

Too late. They were left behind a thousand years ago.

How can you reform an insane moon-rock-worshipping murder cult?

We should be putting questions directly to the slamic people saying 'look at Asia, China, India', they're progressing and they don't have the billions in oil. Why aren't you? It's not because of the WEst, it's because of the corrupt govts you have. We also need to stop supporting these corrupt govt like the Saud family

There is no tradition of freedom in Islam. Allah pulls all their strings. Why don't Muslims just accept their fate?

and, of course, the bad press the community has been receiving.

It's remarkable how such a large group can be in constant denial.
Stuck in the 8th century and clueless about why the bad press.

Murdering, destroying, hating constantly and blaming the west for their miserable existence, and their inability to function as normal human beings.
Another bad century for the murdering cult masquerading as a religion.
Too bad. Nothing gives them bad press as their own stupid behavior.

The Palestinian question will continue to be the dominant issue at the conference. Israeli state terrorism must be condemned before there can be any effective check against the desperate and retaliatory acts of terror that the dispossessed Palestinians resort to.

Same old, tired, line. They will continue to be about 500 years behind us, if they refuse to change their thinking, update social conventions, and engage in self-critique.

The Muslim world must navigate its way toward freedom and justice, which, after all, were integral components of the Prophet Muhammad's mission.

Hahahaha. What history is this writer reading? Mohammed was a violent, truculent, bellicose warmonger who murdered untold thousands. Justice and freedom my eye!

Islam has already been left behind! It's a violent anti-freedom, anti-woman religion. It's satanic. Not all muslims are violent, but islam is violent in its pure koranic form.

Let's tell it like it REALLY is. Islam is NOT PEACE.

[Modernman]

Islam- fighting a 500 year-long rear-guard action against history.

[MarkDel]

Exmarine,

Good question, what the hell is this writer thinking? The truth about Islam is ugly and it's about time we stopped being politically correct and tell the truth about this alleged religion.

"It took me a long time to realize just how much a student of medieval history could gain from observing the Arab."

"It seems to me a certainty that the fatalistic teachings of Mohammed and the utter degradation of the Arab women are the outstanding causes for the arrested development of the Arab. He is exactly as he was around the year 700, while we have been developing."

"In Egypt, on a fresh water canal, I saw a man defecating in the water, while below him at a distance of not more than ten yards, women were washing clothes, and a short distance further downstream a village populace was drawing drinking water."

Usama Bin Laiden is the best Muslim on the planet, since he lives the most Muhammed like existance. There is the problem, Islam itself.
