I said the same thing myself a few days ago on FR - paraphrasing Sam Kinnison's starving Ethiopian skit, if you want Sharia, move where the Sharia is.
SPOT ON!
More sliding down the slope, for he UK?
Exactly !!!
Give them an inch and they'll take a mile.
Alas, that particular epidemic afflicts more than just Muslims.
You let it in, its yours....
"we Muslims have an equal stake in fighting extremism. Hundreds of Muslims died on 9/11 and 7/7. But more importantly, given that these acts are carried out in the name of our religion Islam we have a greater responsibility not merely to condemn but to confront the extremists."
Or to put it more succintly, silence equals acquiesence.
Right on schedule!
The following is a description (slightly modified) from Dr. Peter Hammond's book: Slavery, Terrorism and Islam: The Historical Roots and Contemporary Threat. www.frontline.org.za/books_videos/sti.htm
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 wont 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, 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.
It's not just the foreigners. People from Mass. and California move to NH and OR, and then try to turn their new states into the same high-tax, over-developed places they came from.
Muslims to United Kingdom - "You will be assimilated!"
Killng fields of Lebanon?
That's not an appropriate term at all and tells where this guy is coming from.
He don't like sharia law, but otherwise he has no problem with equating Israelis defending themselves with Pol Pot.
Liberals and Muslims (and in this case a liberal muslim) seem to love calling Israeli the equivalent of genocidal regimes (Hitler, Pol Pot).
Muslim communities belong in Muslim countries.
This guy sounds reasonable to me. Am I alone in this?
Excellent point, and the backlash will be greater if the NON-extremist Muslims don't get a handle on the trouble makers. Other folks will mis-interpret their inaction as approval of the extremists' actions.
It's refreshing to hear an actual Muslim speaking out like this.
