Bukhari:V9B88N174 I heard the Prophet saying, Islam cannot change!
Bukhari:V4B52N260 The Prophet said, If a Muslim discards his religion, kill him.
I used to believe the "moderate Muslim" myth, but it is indeed a myth. I will agree that there are Muslims that are ignorant as to what Islam preaches, as well as those trapped under Shari'a law -- but I doubt those Muslims will be the ones marching w/ the likes of CAIR.
How many?...All three?
You haven't heard or read about the Sufi Muslims, I take it.
Didja hear the one about how do you identify a moderate Muslim? He's the one shouting "Death to extremists!!"
I lived and worked around Sufi Muslims when I was deployed to Uzbekistan in 2003-04. The Uzbeks live a different form of Islam. True, Islam and every other religion was under the Soviet heel for seventy years. But Uzbeks were quick to remind me, "we're not like those people down south (the Afghans)". Lovely young Uzbek women, dressed very western, replied to my question about Islamic dress codes with "we carry Islam in our hearts". And my jaw dropped when I saw two Uzbek schoolteachers (interpreters who taught Russian on the side) on their way to the chapel tent one Sunday morning! Their response was very Sufi-like: "we study other religions and traditions".
On a trip to Samarkand I pointed out an obvious mosque and asked our guide if he worshipped as a Muslim. He responded, "I don't believe in that @#$@ anymore!"
I have kept in touch with the schoolteachers. They remind me that Jews and Christians have lived in Uzbekistan for thousands of years. They credit Sufi tolerance for this. I know the situation there is far from perfect, politically and economically, but it was good to stay a time in a Muslim, not Islamic country, where one need not fear being a non-Muslim.
Islam has evangelized through terrorism from day one under the murderous mohammad.
If it was up to me all CAIR members would be politely asked to go home or die.
If they all go home, who will run the convenience stores, motels, and dry cleaners? What would we do about the doctor shortage???? Hey! We could hire illegals to replace them!!
Let's "veer" on topic for a moment. ( Forget your aspirations about writing comedy).
Can you say in all caps: "MUSLIM CROCODILE TEARS"?
good!
The ACLU loves you.
Slowly the Muslims are awakening to the fact that they should be emissaries of peace. They will be judged by Allah if they fail in this. To be a Muslim is not a right. It is a responsibility. Muslim should now look at their religion as their responsibility to translate the Koranic precepts into working principles of social science.
Every little bit helps. This is important in that Muslims are the only ones who can successfully reform their culture. The efforts of non-Muslims will not be accepted. But there is still a very long way to go in terms of reforming that very dysfunctional society, a process that can easily be derailed. Any opening of the mind is good, as it can lead to further and deeper critical self-analysis in the future. Overcoming the peer pressure within Islamic societies is the greatest impediment. Anything that can break that down is good.
How could the WWP make thier claim that the US is racist if the alledged victims are protesting them?
DISCOURAGE EXTREMISM!
If it hasn't happened yet, it should be stated like this:
"The First Potential Demonstration Against Terrorism"
You're playing both sides of the fence. Not allowed.
You either hate all muslims, or you're an islamofascist sympathizer. Those are the rules. Haven't you read these threads before?
I just love it ever since 9-11 people here been pissing and moaning that that there are no Muslims out there that support what we are doing, then whenever someone posts something that show Muslims supporting us the morons show up and (try) to show just how patriotic they are by spouting nonsence like "Too little, too late".
Yes, I know the Muslims are in fact a cult that worships the god of the moon and not THE GOD, but that isn't the issue for me. I don't care if they worship disposable soiled diapers as a god, as long as they are peaceful and do no others harm.
These crazy factions that breed out of the insanity of the writings of Mohammad the child molester have to be removed by their people of faith, because if they keep this up, it becomes their culture against the rest of the world and they make us kill most of them.
Well put!
Their problem is that they have cancers in their scriptures and they follow those cancers and then murder the innocent.
I think the ONLY muslims that will speak out about this at ALL are the ones overseas that are afraid their neighbors won't be treating them well as attack after attack happens with stone silence from religious leaders.
bump
Whatever dude. You don't get it at all.
