U.S. Muslims Warn of Threat From Within
breitbart.com ^ | Aug 31, 2006 | RACHEL ZOLL

Islam teaches peace, they told anyone who would listen in news conferences, at interfaith services and, most famously, standing in a mosque with President Bush.

But five years later, the target audience for their pleas has shifted. Now the faith's American leaders are starting to warn fellow Muslims about a threat from within.

The 2005 subway attacks in London that investigators say were committed by British-born and -raised Muslims, and the relentless Muslim-engineered sectarian assaults on Iraqi civilians, are among the events that have convinced some U.S. Muslims to change focus.

"This sentiment of denial, that sort of came as a fever to the Muslim community after 9-11, is fading away," said Muqtedar Khan, a political scientist at the University of Delaware and author of "American Muslims." "They realize that there are Muslims who use terrorism, and the community is beginning to stand up to this."

Muslim leaders point to two stark examples of the new mind-set:

_A Canadian-born Muslim man worked with police for months investigating a group of Islamic men and youths accused in June of plotting terrorist attacks in Ontario. Mubin Shaikh said he feared any violence would ultimately hurt Islam and Canadian Muslims.

_In England, it's been widely reported that a tip from a British Muslim helped lead investigators to uncover what they said was a plan by homegrown extremists to use liquid explosives to destroy U.S.-bound planes.

I am all for American Moslems who practice their religion without affecting others. However, this religion is not fit for human consumption. How can any true practicing Muslim be peaceful when his whole guidebook is replete with statements like the following:

"Believers, take not Jews and Christians for your friends - Qur’an 5:51"
"Sufficient for the Jew is the Flaming Fire! - Qur’an 4:55"
"Fight those who do not believe in Allah - Qur’an 9:29"
"Fight and slay the pagans [Christians] wherever ye find them and seize them, confine them, and lie in wait for them in every place of ambush" (Surah 9:5)"
"Fight the unbelievers in your surroundings, and let them find harshness in you." (Qur'an 9:123)"

Christianity is a religion of peace, but some horrible crimes have been committed in it's name. True Christians not only deplore this, but contribute time, effort, and money to stop it, even to the point of turning in the people who commit such crimes.

When Moslems decide that people who kill in the name of Islam don't deserve to be shielded from the local law in either Islamic or non-Islamic countries, regardless of whether that law is Sharia or not, then we'll have peace and I'll believe that Islam is truly a religion of peace.

Amazing, one honest (at least in this quote) academic who's willing to admit that the "Muslim community" has been selling us all a bill of goods for the past five years (and long before that). Remember how many times we were told no Muslim could be a suicide bomber, no Muslim could do this or that because they are all such innocent devotees of peace.

They have soiled their own religion for 1000 years even if they reformed tomorrow.

Yes. Excellent summarization. They cannot be trusted.

And I want to warn Muslims. I have my eye on you. You are easy to spot. Make a funny move and you might meet my partner, Mr. Glock 357.

I suggest that you read an uncensored Talmud.
http://www.come-and-hear.com/

One can pretty much match and exceed what you have quoted above.

Note, however:
GEMARA. … R. Johanan said: A heathen who studies the Torah deserves death, for it is written, Moses commanded us a law for an inheritance; it is our inheritance, not theirs. )
— Babylonian Talmud, Sanhedrin 59a
Soncino 1961 Edition, page 400

"In California muslims were busting up the inventory of stores that sold "wicked" items like alcohol and threatening the store owners."

Fox reported the other day that the terrorists in Iraq are now killing bakers because they are using ingrediants in their baking that were not used during the time of Mohammed. You just have to shake your head and hope it doesn't explode.

The hope is that there are indeed Muslims who have nothing in common with the Islamofascists. I am ignorant of this type of knowledge.

I hope it is so, but from what I have experienced of Islam, Inshallah is a pig. Let us bring them to justice.

EXCUSE ME!!! It's the Muslim-owned convenience stores here in Texas that sell the beer, liquor, porn, roach clips, etc., etc., etc. I guess we have all the "backslidden Muslims" here in the Lone Star State.

Islam can condemn certanin acts, if the acts make Islam look bad.


But no matter what, Islam nutjobs may not condemn another Muslim.

Ask them if the condemn terrorism, and they will say yes. It hurts their cause.

Ask them if they condem the person who comitted the act, and they won't.

Simple question: Do you condemn bin laden? Yes or no? Not yes or no, we condemn his tactics. Do you condemn bin laden?

Muslims cannot do it.

Yes, you are correct. The KKK was (is) a democrat organization, with folks like Byrd at the helm.

And Gore's dad.

KKK guys, who managed to convince idiots that it was not them, but the other party.

And the other party caved in, like the pansie little girls that they are, but hey they get their power and pensions.

I guess they are so used to being little girls, in thier pansy dresses, that it does not matter.
