Radical Islam is an insane murder cult; moderate Islam is its Trojan Horse in the West.

When thinking of 'moderate' Islam relating to the extremist:

I seem to smell the stench of appeasement in the air.

these so-called muslim intellectuals waited UNTIL LAST YEAR to do so. They are intellectuals because they can see the American masses growing impatience with TROP. Its not because they want the slaughter to stop its because they dont want the slaughter to begin and they will be the slaughtered!!!!!.

If we only have to kill 13 million to, we need to get started. History shows the only way to stop a terrorist is to kill them. They have defined themselves, so be it. We just need to stop playing "catch up" by their rules and start hunting them down and exterminating them.
The rest of the Islamic world needs to clearly define themselves as anti terrorist, identify the bad guys, then shut up and get out of the way.
I would not trade the life of one American child killed by a terrorist act on our home soil for a nation full of unrepentant Islamic fundamentalists.
The neutron bomb should be our next move, not our last resort. Lock and load

I think it was intentionally hushed-up by the msm.
The heck with the UN. The msm didn't want to report on 4,000 muslim intellectuals calling for the world to do something about islamic terrorists.
This is why there are people who keep saying that muslims haven't come out to denounce terrorism. They Have. The msm just won't tell you.

It's not like the UN has a purpose other than scamming the U.S. out of billions of tax payer dollars.

You know, I'm really tired of my tax money going to such a scummy organization.

VERY UNCOMFORTABLE. It starts with the next terror attack. No more PC concerns for hurt feelings and fears of whiny victim Muslims. Time to idendtify them, hold them responsible for the actions of murderers acting in their name and in the name of their god. It's not PC, it's putting their civil rights on hold pending proof of their loyalty to the US (why is that too much to ask), it's putting the problem right back in their laps where it belongs. No more.

Right on cue...

first the right hand strikes with terror

then the left hand is stretched out in peace....or with claims of victimhood or false fears of retaliation of innocent Muslims by irrational family members of the victims.

The supporters of real Islam play the victim so well..really have their acts down pat.

Arafat used to work this scam like a pro...

Moderately condemn the attacks...get more US tax dollar money
to fund the terrorists he also backed financially and cheer-led

There are no moderates..just con men..and public relation figures..

They are not fooling the rubes...they have accomplices... in the media and in government..

By moderate condemnation or announcements of feigned surprise and shock..they hope to keep retaliation of the people in hand..that they might go right on planning and consolidating power unopposed..

Working hand in hand with the lefties and those pretending to be conservatives of the NWO they will continue right along..

Their shills will still claim them to be the high-jacked religion of peace.. and claim the apostates of Islam to be the real face..

The Wahabists of Saudi Arabia however know differently.. and will continue to consolidate their power...

And do it with the full support of many who claim (at least publicly) to oppose them.

imo

It would help Bush if most Muslims agreed with him. (Chaos also brings in news stories - that leads to higher ratings)
It may just be the MSM is prolonging this war for their own gain. They did it during Viet Nam, too, by supporting the protesters and their pro-communist philosophy.

Who cares? The dumbass Moos have dragged this on long enough.

Death to Islam. Death to Allah - Piss Be Upon Him.

Make the Moos ashamed to be dumb enough to be part of this death cult, and go shopping for a real religion.

Or die in battle. Guess I don't care all that much either way.

An increasing number of Muslims are aware of the harm that the ideology of suicide-killing, falsely presented as "martyrdom" is causing Muslims throughout the world.

For more than a year Sacramento talk show host Mark Williams has tried to get some of the tens of thousands of Muslims living in the area to come out to demonstrate against the minority who have "hijacked" Islam. No qualifying rhetoric allowed such as the U.S. is a terrorist in the eyes of many, let's stop it on both sides, etc. etc. He's offered to arrange it and pay for it.

Nothing. Not a word -- except demands by local Muslims that he be kicked off the air and, according to Mr. Williams, Muslim demands that the California legislature investigate his radio show.

The events in nearby Lodi may finally bring about a demonstration in Lodi. The Lodi mayor, bragging how close people of all faiths are, has teamed with Williams. This past week Mr. Williams announced that so far three Muslims in Lodi have indicated an interest.

I believe similar events in Phoenix and Washington, D.C. produced the same results. No interest whatsoever except for lots of do-gooders, a handful of Muslims, and if I remember correctly numerous Muslims protesting against being picked on.

Unless we hear Muslim voices condemning such attacks without any "ifs" or "buts", the would-be suicide-killer would have every reason to assume that he enjoys at least the tacit support of all Muslims.

No kidding. Maybe setting up a few internment camps would spur their interest in speaking up -- if they really object to being "hijacked."

I've lived and worked with Muslims here and in Ankara in the secular country of Turkey. Honestly, they are top notch people. The best. Turkey's army has kicked out radical Muslims from government more than once. Turkey is 99+ percent Muslims. Yes, some are radical Muslims but most are Turks.

What's with these American clowns?

I simply don't give rip anymore what these creatures think, feel, or fear:

Islam, The Alleged Religion of Peace® ( TARP™ )? Click this picture:

No, I am not exaggerating. Click the pic, go to "last," and read backwards.
If you are not informed about this stuff, you will be made sick. If you are informed, you will be made mad, all over again.

Where It's 9-11 All the Time...

Click the picture...

Where it's nine-eleven all the time
and no Sun sets,
and no clocks chime
where no voice speaks
and no bird trills
the Moon hangs frozen
o'er the hills
The winds are still, they seem to say,
Reflect, remember,
stop to pray...
