Well, lets think about this. Nobody is born Muslim, it is a religion, not a racial group. Therefore for someone to be a Muslim they must make the choice to be one. Now take the religion at face value, it teaches murder, torture, conquest and enslaving the world for Islam as its holy command.
Therefore I can safely say ALL Muslims are evil and brutal and intent on conquest, as their holy books demand that, and they have of their own free will decided that is what is holy in their lives.
Seriously, have you even met a variety of Muslims or any other group from different backgrounds and nationalities?
Yes, I have lived in over 7 countries, and live in the Middle East currently. I have 1 million Muslims within 100 miles of my house and half of them vote in polls that to shred me with a terrorist bomb is a valid form of political expression AFTER they steal half of the only Jewish State to make their 22nd Arab one. Do you know of any Christians or Jews that think blowing up a school bus full of children will get you into paradise?
There is an obvious difference between religions don't you think? Perhaps you should drop the "all religions and history's are alike" thingie. It really does not hold water in the light of day.
I know a few hundred million devout Muslims that would like to pat you on the back of your neck with a sword because the Koran commands them to behead you as a non-muslim.
It is not a knee-jerk reaction when you can read it for yourself in black and white. It is simply self-preservation. However to face a hungry lion and try to pet it saying nice kitty is certainly a knee-jerk liberal reaction, as well as patting one self on the back for their superior understanding of lions.
Unfortunately I have discovered that all that nice moral superiority vanishes when you actually meet the lion face to face. It is hard to pat oneself on the back with a bloody stump.
Good point, and valid, however you should have said "given the acts of violence and terrorism over the last 1400 years". Islams history has not varied for ALL it's History. That is why this statement is all the more ludicris by these "moderate" Islamics. 1400 years of deeds are hardly washed away by one news article of "we should".
Only the little coward in the school yard is foolish enough to hope that "this time the bully keep his promise to leave me alone if I give him my lunch money, again" after 1400 years of history.
And while we were meeting the Japanese Ambassador's outstretched hand, Japan bombed Pearl harbor. The fleet launched for the attack before the Ambassador even traveled to washington.
As PT Barnum said, "There is a sucker born every minute. And, "You can fool some of the people some of the time, and some of the people all of the time..." I see you are in the latter category.
I have an idea, if the Muslims really want peace, they can lay down their arms. Surprise, instant peace!
Don't take this personal, but was your family in the Klan? Hence did they say the same exact things about Jews and Blacks that you're saying about Muslims today?
Maybe you missed the link in #11. Here's an excerpt :
"Dr. Mohammed believes that the Quran unambiguously says that the Holy Land belongs to the Jews. Hell go to any mosque and debate any doubting imam."
"his mission: to combat the growing tide of Islamic political radicalization by teaching what the Quran actually says not how the Islamic holy text is interpreted by imams."
He's one of the founders of this group.
"Who engages in knee jerk anti Muslim hysteria? It is pandemic around here."
You can say That again.
People complain about muslims not voicing their disdain for muslim extremists/fanatics/terrorists, yet Every article I've read that was written by or about a muslim speaking out against them, is met with negativity.
It makes no sense.
Anyone who truly wants moderate muslims to speak out and condemn radical muslims, should be supporting the moderates when they do. Otherwise, stop complaining when they don't.
How do you repair/re-interpret something that says "kill all non-muslims"?
"Anyone who judges by the group is a peawit. You take men one at a time."

Aren't they a little late?
There have been Muslims saying this kind of thing for some time now, as you very well know, or should know.
BTTT.
"Avoid the broad brush tainting all. That is the road to avoidable conflict and violence, leading to unjust war."
Shouldn't you be addressing this to the muslims?
Islam's ' proper place' is in the dark pages of history along with the other bloody death cults. It needs to be GONE, forever, wiped from the face of the earth and the minds of mankind except as a shameful stain and a testament to brutality and evil.
Yep. They're "moderate" Muslims - temporarily out of ammo.
See post #27. When you have an answer to his question, get back to both of us, ok?
(Sahih Al-Bukhari Volume 4, Book 54, Number 516) Narrated Abu Huraira: The Prophet said, "If anyone of you rouses from sleep and performs the ablution, he should wash his nose by putting water in it and then blowing it out thrice, because Satan has stayed in the upper part of his nose all the night."
