Let me be the first to say BS. Islam IS the problem and it must be purged from the earth like the cancer that it is.

[Red Badger]

Islam is to religion as democracy is to freedom. It just screws everthing up.........

[Darkwolf377]

Nice try, no buy.

They should visit the Islamic Center of Milwaukee for an open house that will include.....

....a play of Broadway proportions falsely portraying islam as a peaceful religion

How, Atta asks, would Christians like to be judged, for instance, on the actions of the Rev. Fred Phelps of Kansas and his followers, who make pests of themselves at military funerals to say that the Iraq war dead deserve what they got because of U.S. tolerance of gays?

Fred Phelps isn't flying planes into buildings and killing thousands of people, having his followers blow up Israeli shopping centers loaded with innocent men, women, and children, or calling for the beheading of those who insult Christianity.

One noteworthy difference between the Christian Church and the Islamic leaders is that Christians openly and clearly denounce violent behavior, whether purportedly in support of Christian tenets or not. We hear VERY little, if any, true denunciation of the violence Islamic terrorists are doing in the world today, and the silence is deafening (pardon the cliche).

As despicable as Phelps is, he still does not commit violence, as opposed to the daily violence committed against non-Muslims by Muslims every day around the world.

Few things in live are simultanously as amusing and as pathetic as a Muslim trying to play the moral equivalence game.

This is a few years old, but nails it. And you are right!

An independent poll by the Council on American-Islamic Relations last month had one in four Americans believing that Islam is a religion of hatred and violence,

Were the other three in four stupid or scared of having their heads chopped off?

They should visit the Islamic Center of Milwaukee for an open house that will include a tour, question-and-answer sessions

I'll give any FReeper $500.00 if they show up to this open house with a video camera and ask, "What's the proper method for cutting off a non-muslim's head?"

 

[BullDog108]

Print out this web page and show it to these ragheads and have them explain the quotes. That should shut them up...

[Dark Skies]

U.S. polls are showing that Americans misunderstand Islam on such a scale that this bogus claim is allowed more fertile ground to sprout than should be available.

Actually, recent polls have shown that Americans are slowly coming to see islam for what it is...evil to the core.

"Negative Perception Of Islam Increasing"

The poll found that nearly half of Americans -- 46 percent -- have a negative view of Islam...

Name one other religion that advocates death for those who will not submit to its tenants.

Wish I lived in Milwaukee. I'd do it.

This is lifted from several websites by the way. Just search the authors name, Samuele Bacchiocchi, Ph. D.
Retired Professor of Theology, Andrews University.

The four phases of Islam are interesting. He points out the different times of the four phases, but I will add that nowadays, what phase your local muslims are in depends on their power in your community. They are always a ticking time bomb.

[crghill]

I don't think I'll buy this one either. Islam is violent! It has a violent past and a violent future!

Excellent. Here's another one that can be used for reference material: Faithfreedom
