It is in the interest of the moderate muslims to rat out the radicals, rather than protect them or stand by while radical evil is perpetrated. After the radical muslims get rid of or subjugate the non-muslims, they could go after the moderate muslims for not being Islamic enough, the way some muslims did to other muslims in the Sudan.
Cuture clash BUMP!
Bump!
Amen. If moderate Muslims don't root out the butchers, they will be tarred with the same brush.
Right, and in our love of tolerance and religious freedom, we're letting the mad Muslim dogs in.
I'm beginning to think that we're better off if the muslims (at least the radical ones) were kept in their part of the world while we stayed in ours.
Keep them in their sandboxes until they learn better manners.
Islamic clerics openly troll the streets seeking restless young men to indoctrinate and send out to kill for Islam. They weed out the weaklings by having them view videos of the actual torture and beheadings of human beings complete with the screams of pain and all blood and gore of a nightmare. They watch Islamic ''snuff films.'' This is what will be expected of them as ''warriors'' of Allah.The Dark Masculine unchecked.
That is what Islam is. I just hope that Western Judeo-Christian culture wakes the hell up before these fluckers overrun us.
The next 50 years will answer that question.
There's no "might be better off" about it.
The radicals (which as far as I can tell comprises the majority) need to be kept out of democratic countries.
This is why I believe that setting up democracies in Islamic countries won't work. They'll just vote for whatever wack job the local mullah selects. I hope I'm wrong though.
I think "moderate muslim" is a contradiction in terms, sort of like a "moderate Nazi". Until muslims learn how to act in a civilized manner, which includes condemning their more barbaric brethren, we have to watch our backs. And for God's sake, unleash Israel and let her defend herself!
"I'm beginning to think that we're better off if the muslims (at least the radical ones) were kept in their part of the world while we stayed in ours."
Sorry, too late I'm afraid (actually, I'm not so much afraid as irritated ;'{
Ever since I read V.S. Naipul's book, Among the Believers back in the 1970s, I've been concerned with Islam, particularly in its treatment of women. When my first husband was getting his PhD back then, there were lots of pre-Ayatollah Iranian, Iraqui and Saudi students in the math department (all male), and their hypocrisy and sexism was astonishing. Not only were they party animals, but they treated women as if they didn't exist or only as sexual prey. They have always come West to play against all the tenets of their so-called religion. I am now a grad student and did my bit at the college I attend by having a CAIR-produced poster show about "peaceful" Islam that "respects" women in their "happy headscarves" pose removed from the school library at this public college. I vehemently protested not only the lies in the propaganda but the fact that if they were going to have a posting about Islam they should include every other sect in the world, you name it. Also that I resented the high tax dollars I pay going to support a religion that foments terrorists. Although I never got a reply from the college president to whom I wrote, the posters were down within days. People must wake up, especially women. If you want your genitals mutilated, your freedom to move curtailed, your face vieled, your body beaten and most importantly, your thoughts totally controlled, just stay on the left and support this so-called "peaceful" cult.
I've waited over three years for this. "Moderate" muslims effectively do not exist. Either they are cowed into silence, or they quietly support the radicals.
We should quit wasting our time waiting on the evanescent "moderate muslim" to rat out his brethren. Two types of force have been shown to work so far:
1) Kill them.
2) Forcibly democratize them. (Afghanistan being the only example so far.)
To hell with due process! Round them up, put them in camps, identify and tag them, then SEND THEM ALL (converts included!) to the muslime country of their choice.....and advise ALL of them that if they set foot on US soil again....EVER....it will mean their deaths!
BUMP
In many respects I agree with you. It would be nice to build a wall around these clowns and let them live in 8th Century squalor and ignorance if they so choose. Unfortunately, we HAVE to do business with some of them. Specifically, I'm thinking of the populations of Neanderthals that inhabit Saudi Arabia and Iran as well as other Islamic countries. In the end, the trade-dollars we provide are transferred to the true nutzoids among them hiding out in darkened caves dreaming of a glorious, worldwide Fascistic State under their ignorant rule.
I hope the author is right and the rest of the world finally wakes up to the beast that is the extremist fundamental Muslim religion...seeking only terror, torture and dominance...never peace!
IMHO, and in not that distant future we will see new allies to our cause in Iraq that were just weeks ago laughing at us and our President.
What does a pluralistic, tolerant society do when they are confronted by a belief system grounded in intolerance and hate?
In the U.S. we dealt with it when we had problems with the Ku Klux Klan - and ended it accordingly.
Just exterminate all of them ---everywhere.
