We Muslims have work to do

These are the words of a true Muslim extremist.

The bomb throwers are the mainstream--W and the MSM are in denial.

[Suzy Quzy]

Should have been written 5 years ago and then repeated over and over by other Muslims.

Sadly, some of the paragraphs sounded like the black community.

[AustinBill]

Separation of Church and State was the main result of the Reformation and the Counter-Reformation. That process, for "civilized" Western Christianity, took roughly 150 years and killed half of Europe in the process.

Anyone who thinks Islam will be be able to undergo a similar transformation in a few years without bloodshed needs a history refresher course.

A little late to the dance.. but the flower in the lapel looks good..

It might take a century of of brave men calling for the reformation of Islam before their Luther emerges

The process can be hastened. This is the space age. The coordinates of Zarqawi were fed by the Air Force Space Command to a GPS bomb, which fell on Zarqawi's head within minutes. The quicker that terrorists are located and dispatched, the sooner the complacent majority of moslems will wake up and grudgingly admit that some changes have to be made. This process should take less than a generation.

The reports on the Arab countries are a dismal catalogue of entrenched tyrannies, failing economies, squandered wealth, gender oppression, persecution of minorities and endemic violence...

It took a Muslim to tell it like it is.
No phony talk about "The Religion of Peace."

The reformation came about because a priest dared question the practices of the church and called them back to following the precepts of the Bible, without the trappings of entrenched religious traditions that were not based upon the Scriptures. The cry of the reformers was "sola scriptura."

On the other hand, we already have a "reformation" in Islam - it's called al-Qaeda. The closer Islam comes to following the "pure" teachings of Muhammad (as spelled out in the Quran and the Hadith) the bloodier it gets.

[GBA]

Whoa, Salim. You're telling the truth and that's not going to go over well with the rest of the Muslims. Keep your head down! And start your car with a remote starter from a safe distance.

[GBA]

Sadly, very true.

[Isabelle]

Let us, Muslims, be brutally honest.

"brutal" that could describe islam!

[The Electrician]

That's a bit like saying that Jews should either continue the practice of stoning, or else renounce Judiasm.

[The Electrician]

spelling: Judaism

[NewJerseyJoe]

Good words, but I suspect this fellow will be the subject of a fatwa soon.

What Islam needs is a good civil war amongst its proponent nations.

[jordan8]

I don't give a damn about their angst, they should never have been allowed into the West. They are incompatible with our culture, period.

[Nickey]

Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like whitewashed tombs, which outwardly appear beautiful, but within are full of dead people’s bones and all uncleanness. So you also outwardly appear righteous to others, but within you are full of hypocrisy and lawlessness."

All of the Moslems are violent hateful hypocrites and I AGREE COMPLETELY!

[Nickey]

"I don't give a damn about their angst, they should never have been allowed into the West. They are incompatible with our culture, period."

That is for sure it is like taking in the prisoners from Cuba as Freedom Fighters.

[Mr. Jeeves]

We have inculcated into our children false pride, and given them a sense of history that crumbles under critical scrutiny. We have burdened them with conflicting loyalties -- and now some of them have become our nightmare.

An astonishing admission. And a member of the Congressional Black Caucus needs to come forward and admit the same truth.

[airedale]

Good chance this guy just painted a target on his back. Some won't want to hear the truth and will consider this an insult to Islam.

[Darkwolf377]

Coincidentally: has anyone heard a comment from the CAIR gang about Zarqawi's death?

They're too busy trying to come up with an angle that makes killing Zarqawi seem like "another of Bush's anti-Muslim-American policies".
