I agree...
And its people like like you that are carrying Osama's water.
Well, I DID say "few and far in between" didn't I? :-)
Look at it this way. If you're a "moderate muslim" and you speak out against the hijacking of your religion, what do you get? You get to be a target.
However, if you just mind you own business and shut up...Well, either the terrorists win ("Hey, you can't kill me, I'm muslim like you.") or the terrorists lose ("Hey, I'm not one of THOSE guys. I'm with the religion of peace.)
So, where's the incentive to speak up?
You're an appeaser and an apologist for those who want to kill us. How do you manage to live with yourself?
>>>> Modern Turkey was founded in 1923 .... Turkish political parties have multiplied, but democracy has been fractured by periods of instability and intermittent military coups (1960, 1971, 1980), which in each case eventually resulted in a return of political power to civilians. In 1997, the military again helped engineer the ouster - popularly dubbed a "post-modern coup" - of the then Islamic-oriented government.
So, for a while Turkey is under military rule. Then for a while its under Islamic rule. How stable is that? In my book, not stable at all. Next you'll be calling Saudi Arabia a stalwart of democracy in the ME. LOL
Why give Osama propaganda to recruit with?
"You're an appeaser and an apologist for those who want to kill us. How do you manage to live with yourself?"
Some people have to learn the hard way, some NEVER learn.
I like how you read only what you want to read... How about the FACT they are in NATO, and will probably join the UE a some point? Not to mention they have had democracy even after periods of military coups.
Ali? He's your example? Google him if you dare. He refused military service by using his islamic faith.
So was my grandfather on my mothers side
Well, first of all, I agree with you and I don't mean to try to pick a fight, but just for the sake of discussion, isn't that what the Germans said about why they did not stand up to the Nazis? So if they don't stand up against it then doesn't that make them just as guilty?
does that make him violent?
You are absolutely correct. There have been shining examples of folks who stood up for what they really believe in. But where are the examples in this current conflict?
If only 10% are perverting Islam, where's the other 90%? We're talking millions of people. The denunciation should be deafening. The only thing deafening is the silence.
You apparently didn't read the article.
People here should copy and send this article to all on their email lists.
Why sit here and say, the MSM won't mention it? WE need to send this message out so the American people will understand our enemy.
Copy and send please! For your kids and grandkids.
Thanks.
I don't call it "picking a fight" I call it "having a discussion. As long as it doesn't get personal, fire away. :-)
Yes, it does make them just as guilty. Or, at least complicit in the act.
