In Allah's Name? Muslims in America react to the recent beheadings.

[Seeking the truth]

Mr. McBride, a spokesman for the Islamic Center of Boca Raton, Fla., wants to make clear that "for these radicals to even imply that what they're doing is Islamically correct is wrong."

FWIW, this Boca Raton Center is listed on that map that show Al Quada cells throughout the US.

It seems to me that McBride is not much of an islamic name. Could he be related to the McBride that ran for governor?

For the American Islamic community, mere words mean nothing in this day and age, try for something a little constructive, like getting rid of the trash in your own front yard.

Jihad in Our Backyard

"A little over a year ago, the Islamic Center of Boca Raton made the news for publishing a website (www.icbr.org) that contained an essay that was overtly antisemitic. The essay was entitled, "Why can't the Jews and Muslims live together in peace?" It characterized Jews as being "people of treachery and betrayal" and ended with quotes from Islamic sources on killing Jews. Even though the center removed the essay from its website, I really shouldn't use terms that are past tense in describing it, since the essay still exists. It can be found precisely where it originated, along with a plethora of other outrageously antisemitic material, on the website www.islam-qa.com - all written by the same person, Sheikh Muhammed Salih Al-Munajjid, the creator of the site."

"the Islamic Center of Boca Raton gave nearly $17 thousand dollars to the Global Relief Foundation, one of the so-called charities that were closed down by the United States for funneling money to Al Quaida."

this could be the essay?

McBride converted to Islam not too long ago. When an antisemitic article entitled “Why can’t the Jews and Muslims live together in peace?” was taken off of the ICBR website (www.icbr.org) due to outside pressure, McBride said they took it off their site because they received some complaints, but he also said he agreed with everything written in the article. The article called Jews “usurpers and aggressors” and “people of treachery and betrayal.” The article also contained this oft used Islamic quote: “You will fight the Jews and will prevail over them, so that a rock will say, ‘O Muslim! There is Jew behind me, kill him!’”

Many Muslims are disturbed that such acts of terrorism are being committed in the name of their religion.

Not disturbed enough to go public and renounce these murderers. Their silence tells me they support the murders.

But here's the best part yet! A Daniel McBride teaches a course in terrorism.

The Council on American-Islamic Relations launched a petition a few weeks ago..

Many American Muslims are rebuking that petition. For the full story click here.

Where can I get a couple quarts of pig's blood? I handload and I need to start dipping all my bullets in it.

[Jeff Gordon]

dipping all my bullets in it..

Try Pig Grease. It is a pretty good bullet lube.

Yeah, I'll trade you a cup of salt for a chicken. This is only the begining of the double talk in our land.

You got the last cup, because I'm out myself. ;)

Isn't Boca near Jupiter?

"At best, it's vigilantism. At worst it's anarchy. Islam is against both."

No matter how thin you slice it, it's neither. It's flat-out barbarian terrorism. And until these Muslims call it what it is, I won't be turning my back on them any time soon. Period.

[sheik yerbouty]

Islam is, as Islam does.

[no dems]

Islam is a more radical religion than the Western World knows. Ask people who have studied the Koran. Also, Allah is NOT just the Muslim name for God. Allah was the Meccan moon god and he is NOT a loving God.

I'm sorry, but I don't believe them; I don't trust them and I don't shop in their stores or buy their gasoline.

You might need a 500 pound bag for this BS.

I'm sure the guy whose pregnant wife was shot in the belly and head, executed with his four other daughters for the glory of Allah.
