This week's Voldemort Award goes to the New York Times for their account of a curious case of road rage in North Carolina:
"The man charged with nine counts of attempted murder for driving a Jeep through a crowd at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill last Friday told the police that he deliberately rented a four-wheel-drive vehicle so he could 'run over things and keep going.' "
The driver in question was Mohammed Reza Taheri-azar.
Whoa, don't jump to conclusions. The Times certainly didn't. As the report continued:
"According to statements taken by the police, Mr. Taheri-azar, 22, an Iranian-born graduate of the university, felt that the United States government had been 'killing his people across the sea' and that his actions reflected 'an eye for an eye.'"
"His people"? And who exactly would that be? Taheri-azar is admirably upfront about his actions. As he told police, he wanted to "avenge the deaths or murders of Muslims around the world."
And yet the M-word appears nowhere in the Times report. Whether intentionally or not, they seem to be channeling the great Sufi theologian and jurist al-Ghazali, who died a millennium ago but whose first rule on the conduct of dhimmis -- non-Muslims in Muslim society -- seem to have been taken on board by the Western media:
The dhimmi is obliged not to mention Allah or His Apostle. . . .

Great piece. Too bad you felt the need to excerpt it.
Do you have access to it?
So, what would be wrong about treating all Muslims in the U.S. the same way Dhimmis are treated in Islamist countries? It would sure help keep 'em under control!
Applying the same rules is only fair, right?

"He needs to be medicated."
No, he needs to be prosecuted, convicted, made to serve many years in prison for attempted murder -- if he's been looking for a cell, here's the answer -- and then deported forthwith.
You are posting that 60 percent of muslims advocate violence, since Sharia law IS violent and requires the killing of anyone who does not convert, but at the same time you are saying this is no cause for Brits to worry!
It doesn't matter if you "believe" that islam requires all non believers to covert or die, it is the truth. You can't change the truth by not believing it, though many left wing dummies think they can.
If 60 percent of muslims(in UK) think killing non muslims is a good thing, then there is a HUGE problem there for the Brits. Your reasoning is faulty and in line with the NY times.
That's why he has to be medicated. Otherwise he won't agree to deportation.
Not every muslim wants to bomb the infidels only the good muslims do according to Qu'ranic and hadithic teachings(dogma)..
The rest or bad muslims are simply TIME BOMBS or enablers..
"Most Moslems are of the impression that most of the people who claim to be Moslems are either hypocrites or apostates."
Could you give a source on that so we can see what it means?

For a scary look at Islam, try "The Politically Incorrect Guide to Islam and the Crusades" by Robert Spencer. He spells it out clearly.
And none dare call it terrorism.
You sure don't know much about Islam, do you.
ALL (read ALL) Muslims are bound to practice Jihad. You don't have to go out and kill infidels to practice jihad, it has many forms. Anything to forward the cause of Islam in the Infidels lands is Jihad. Political activities- using the infidels own laws to advance Islamic "rights" in their lands, becoming educators, brainwash the infidel's youth. providing support for more agresive Jihadists, a safe house for them to stay, providing funds, ANYTHING you can imagine which will one day make Islam triumph in the land of infidels. many Muslims believe the time is not right for the more agressive jihad. Another hundred years and many western countries will be under the political control of Muslim politicians anyways, without a shot fired.
I'm used to the cold. The remote thing goes both ways.
As long as the Muslim population remains around 1% of any given country they will be regarded as a peace-loving minority and not as a threat to anyone. In fact, they may be featured in articles and films, stereotyped for their colorful uniqueness.
At 2% and 3% they begin to proselytize from other ethnic minorities and disaffected groups with major recruiting from the jails and among street gangs [Europe, Australia, USA and Japan]. Six percent of US prison inmates are Muslim. Like any other minority, they won’t integrate, but work to build their own separate community.
From 5% on they exercise an inordinate influence in proportion to their percentage of the population. South Africa's Muslim population is 2%, but they control 35% of the businesses, a large percentage of the banks and have five Cabinet seats while Christians (77% of the population) have none.
They will push for the introduction of halaal (clean by Islamic standards) food, thereby securing food preparation jobs for Muslims. They will increase pressure on supermarket chains to feature it on their shelves (along with threats for failure to comply).
At this point, they will work to get the ruling government to allow them to rule themselves under Sharia; Islamic Law. The ultimate goal of Islam is not to convert the world, but to establish Sharia law over the entire world.
When Muslims reach 10% of the population, they will increase lawlessness as a means of complaint about their conditions. (Ei: car-burnings in France last October.) Any non-Muslim action that offends Islam will result in uprisings and threats.
After reaching 20% expect hair-trigger rioting, jihad militia formations, sporadic killings and church and synagogue burning (India, Mindanao, Philippines).
At 40% you will find widespread massacres, s, chronic terror attacks and ongoing militia warfare [Indonesia].
From 60% you may expect unfettered persecution of non-believers and other religions, sporadic ethnic cleansing (genocide), use of Sharia Law as a weapon and Jizya (infidel tax). (Sudan, Kosovo, Lebanon and Egypt).
After 80% expect State run ethnic cleansing and genocide [Western Papua (New Guinea), Iran, Biafra, Turkey and North Nigeria].
100% will usher in the peace of "Dar-es-Salaam" - House of Peace - as in Saudi Arabia, Libya and Yemen.
There was a poll that gaged New Yorkers' opinions on Islam a few years ago, and over a third of the residents of this state felt that interning Muslims-in response to further terrorist attacks-wasn't entirely out of the question.
My only point was that if large swaths of the American public is willing to enact an American version of the Benes decrees, and/or reprise the sordid history of Nisei Americans during WWII, then I would imagine that a much less divisive question, e.g. do you dislike Islam, would yield many more supporters.
Could this be because most of the people in the media are ignorant?

I thought the Sun Times was one of the papers that we had to excerpt.
