Where is the Gandhi of Islam?

A Gandhi of Islam?

Well, his first name couldn't be Mohandas, it would have to be Oxymoron.

[Dr.Hilarious]

The Gandhi of Islam went into one of the World Trade Center towers.

Denying this is wishful thinking.

[Joe 6-pack]

"When a nation, a race, a political movement, a group of workers, the followers of a religion have legitimate grievances, there generally arises amongst them a champion who can command respect for his advocacy of peace, his willingness to fight without weapons and to win by moral authority. There may be many such grievances for Muslims in Britain, and in the West, but we are still waiting for the Gandhi or the Martin Luther King to give them the right voice."

Islam is not conducive to such thought and hence engenders no such thinkers. Anwar Sadat gave it a try.

[msf92497]

Exactly.

Islam is a "religion" of the sword. It cannot be reformed. It cannot be pacified.

There is only one option, and that is zero tolerance.

[ncountylee]

There is none. The least harmful would be in the useful idiot category!

[Welsh Rabbit]

Where is the Gandhi of Islam?

Probably beheaded or stoned to death before he ever had a chance.

[lilylangtree]

Americans have a problem comprehending why islamic terrorists are so willing to commit suicide.

Let's see now: From the time they are born, they're taught to have....

a.. No Jesus.
b.. No Wal-Mart.
c.. No television.
d.. No cheerleaders.
e.. No baseball.
f.. No football.
g.. No basketball.
h.. No hockey.
i.. No golf.
j.. No tailgate parties.
k.. No Home Depot.
l.. No pork BBQ.
m..No hot dogs.
n.. No burgers.
o.. No lobster.
p.. No shrimp, shellfish, or even frozen fish sticks.
q.. No gumbo.
r.. No jambalaya.
s.. More than one wife. (HELLO, ARE YOU CRAZY?)
t.. Rags for clothes, sandals for shoes and towels for hats.
u.. Constant wailing from the guy next-door because he's sick and there are no doctors.
v.. Constant wailing from the guy in the tower
w.. No chocolate chip cookies.
x.. No Girl Scout cookies.
y.. No Christmas.
z.. You can't shave.
aa..Your wives can't shave.
ab..You can't shower to wash off the smell of donkey cooked over burning camel dung.
ac..The women have to wear baggy dresses and veils at all times.
ad..Your bride is picked by someone else.
ae..Your bride smells just like your donkey, but your donkey has a better disposition.

Then they tell you that when you die it all gets better!

IS THERE REALLY ANY MYSTERY HERE?

[MarineDad]

Probably out bar-hopping with the Hitler of the Sugar Plum Fairies.

[atlanta67]

they get murdered within 5 minutes

[rickmichaels]

"Islam and terrorism don't go together."

They're one and the same.

[tiamat]

And look what happened to Sadat.

[i_dont_chat]

You forgot one: no birthday celebrations

[Joe 6-pack]

"And look what happened to Sadat."

I think it more is more edifying to look at what happened to Sadat's assassins.

[Sabramerican]

Here

[lilylangtree]

Thought they had b-day celebrations. Remember watching "Not Without My Child" with Sally Field traveling to Iran and getting stuck there because of her islamic hubby. In one scene, there was a b-day celebration for her little girl.

[CROSSHIGHWAYMAN]

A Gandhi of Islam?

He keeps trying but is blown up by neighbor suicide bombers.

Jesus keeps trying but he keeps getting aborted.

Humanity is not ready for peace.

[tiamat]

Didn't know about that.

Thanks.

[auburntiger]

"Islam is a "religion" of the sword."

No it isn't. No it is a religion of cowardly ambush and the killing of innocents.

[auburntiger]

You forgot to mention: No truth, no friendship, no charity.
