Again, you CHOOSE to ignore it. Thousands of muslim leaders are offended by the perversion of Islam to promote violence.
But consider this, you and Islamofacists have something in common: you are both passionately ignorant of Islam and seem to intentionally misinterpret the Koran to support your agenda. They do it to justify violence, you do it to justify prejudice.
Why are these thousands of Muslims leaders being ignored by other Muslims?? Why aren't they raising the 'good' Muslim masses against them?
Why are we supposed to give some third=rate mullah who says,
'maybe we shouldn't kill all the Jews, just the ones who won't submit', points for condemning terrorism when THEY ARE INEFFECTUAL??
The terrorists aren't following some pencilled-in version of Islam- they're getting their orders right from the unchanged, word-of-Allah, revered Koran.
Islam IS the problem.
Let me think...
As to ignorance of islam - before 9/11/01 I *was* ignorant (mostly) about islam. Since then, I've been given a crash (sorry - horrible pun) course in it and I'm learning more daily. I've yet to learn anything about it that fails to turn my stomach.
Technically, what I'm justifying is bigotry against islam, not prejudice. Prejudice - to pre-judge - assumes drawing a conclusion before one has sufficient facts. Before 9/11, I had inappropriately drawn the conclusion that islam was just some other religion with which I disagreed. That was prejudice, but in islam's favor. Now, having had access to a better and more representative set of facts about islam, I conclude that it is a murderous death cult, worshiping a goofy moon-god at the behest of a pedophile prophet. Further, I conclude that it is full to bursting with millions of nitwit followers just itching for a chance to blow themselves to bits.
That's bigotry (earned by actions of islam, by the way) - not prejudice.
EXCELLENT COMMENT, and ACCURATE!
Thousands of Germans were offended by the Nazis but it didn't matter. Millions died. What is the reality of the situation? The Nazis ruled just like the Islamonuts are the power in Islam right now.
