You have to wonder who's paying them....Saudi royals, perhaps?

[MNJohnnie]

Yeah it was all fun and games when it was just the Jews or the Crusaders being massacred by your rabid dogs. Evolve or die Muslims. This is your LAST chance.

When one assesses the progress that has been made since the 8th century in reforming/enlightening Islam (of course, who has tried?) there is little reason for optimism.

This is because any Islamist equivalent of Martin Luther winds up decapitated before his message of reform can spread.

"In Iraq there's a lot of anger and fury at Zarqawi, even among the Iraqi resistance forces who are fighting the Americans. They say that Zarqawi is polluting and defaming their struggle by terrorist attacks, which are just brutal and bloodletting, and giving them a bad name."

Well goon boys. There is a quick solution. Pick up the phone and call the Iraqi Intel hotline number. Bingo some Marines and Iraqi commando units will pick him and his immediate band in perhaps a half hour or less. Tis that simple.

(is it still a secret?)

I'd say no - and it probably hasn't been since 1978.

Hamas urged al-Qaeda to limit itself to striking against the US in Iraq and to avoid killing Arabs and Muslims.

That way, they'll be worthy of France's respect.

[dr_who_2]

There's a pike where Zarqawi's head should forever rest.

[crowman]

Their shrill panic of late is a reflection of the developing reality in Iraq and the world, they are running out of time to seriously screw up the county any longer....

I tend to agree. When one assesses the progress that has been made since the 8th century in reforming/enlightening Islam (of course, who has tried?) there is little reason for optimism.It is exceedingly difficult for Muslims to reform themselves, for how can the brainwashed enlighten the brainwashed?

I appreciate logical voices like yours for the intellectual dismantling of Islam rather than the crude yells of " kill the bastards" which really leave you no choice but distancing yourself from the person. I know once Islam is revealed for what it really is (spare me the "glorious" past !!) the Islamic mainstream that provides cover for the terrorists will simply find some new hobby.

[tkathy]

They only whine when muslims are butchered. And they want respect???

[luvbach1]

I agree totally with all the points made in your concise and well-put profile statement. Huzzah!

[gridlock]

Unfortunately, if the Islamakazis could figure out a way to kill Jews and infidels without collateral damage to Muslims, that would just be peachy keen to a lot of these people who are objecting now.

We still have a long way to go.

[GOPJ]

Is it possible Muslims are "getting" that the rest of the world is disgusted with people who target unarmed women and children?

A group could pray 50 times a day and face toward Mecca every other minute and it wouldn't wash away the filthy sin of killing unarmed innocent women and children. And not only killing them, but targeting them. What filth.

It's about time Muslims condemned Radical Muslims.
