PING!

[PokeyJoe]

Until there are MASS demonstrations against the radical jihadists in the Mooslum community worldwide, I deny trust to any member of the quasi-religios death cult known as Islam.

[Misterioso]

By now it should be clear that "Modern Muslim" is a contradiction in terms. If the Islamists consider Muslims who are willing to speak against them to be their enemies, there won't be any. Unless, of course, the so-called Moderns begin to fear their neighbors, and that day may not be far away.

It's too early to spHell . .

I appreciate Nawal Kawash's courage.

[F14 Pilot]

And while we treat them like this, we can't win the war on terrorism.

[solzhenitsyn]

"Nawal Kawash!" Wow, talk about it being too early to spell ... I got a few hours' sleep, and I'm getting ready to go back into work again.

I appreciate Kamal Nawash's courage, and I hope I got his name right this time.

I'm guessing you didn't find this on the front page of the New York Times.

The truth is that a large number of sane Muslims have bitterly condemned terrorism, urge that it be fought ruthlessly and have done so publicly. There are literally thousands of articles to this effect out there, some authored by some very prominent people.

However, for some reason, it's not considered news, and many Americans are left to suspect that all Muslims are out to get them.

I have no idea why the writings of moderate Muslims speaking out against terrorism have been effectively suppressed, while the ravings of terrorist sympathizers get wide coverage at home and abroad.

But I am pretty sure it's deliberate, with a purpose in mind.

I found it on American Daily, OH. Thought it is good to post such articles to enlighten people's minds.

Islam, without reform, is a cancer that must be eliminated for western civilization (democracy & freedom) to survive.

The issue of Palestine and the perceived suffering of the Palestinians is the single most important issue that unites the entire Muslim and Arab world. No issue evokes the passion of Muslims and Arabs as much as the Palestinian-Israeli conflict.

I have talked to a number of so-called moderate Muslims, who all appear to be sane, polite, reasonable people on the surface. Until the conversation gets anywhere near the subject of Israel or Jews, that is, and then they all go absolutely wiggy.

They can call themselves "moderate" all they like, but they're quite extreme in some areas.

[KangarooJacqui]

In effect, the message disseminated by radical Muslims is that merely discussing Islamic terrorism is to be construed as an attack on Islam.

And therein lies the problem... in a nutshell (so to speak)

[F14 Pilot]

They can call themselves "moderate" all they like, but they're quite extreme in some areas.

All of us are (CAN BE) quite extreme in some areas too!

[hellinahandcart]

That is why there is a CONFLICT. What is your point?

Shall we pander to their beliefs about their mythical "Palestine", simply because they've been brainwashed into insanity on the subject?

[PGalt]

Good article. Thanks for the post.

[F14 Pilot]

We should let them learn!

[hellinahandcart]

No one's stopping them from learning.

It's on them.

[ovrtaxt]

No one's stopping them from learning.

Except their own leadership- and our State Dept. isn't doing the average palestinian any favors by letting that regime hang around. The IDF, by systematically killing the leaders, are the average Palestinian's best friend. Hopefully, they will realize it one day.
