Less complacent. Not totally UN-COMPLACENT, just less complacent.
I'm amazed his damnable statement lasted as long as it did.
If many Europeans have the same POV he does, they're worse than doomed.
By the way, great article about the lack of photographs at the link!!!
This is what's laughingly called "European Justice".
Bad guys got no downside.
The only issue I have about people who are fed up with Muslim radicalism (And unlike you, I do not consideranyone who supports terrorism and radicalism to be a "moderate" by any definition of the word) is that too many are too eager to bloviate too much about it and too few are willing to take concrete action to stop it.
But the Nuke Mecca Crowd isn't denouncing terrorists or their appeasers. The Nuke Mecca Crowd is denouncing all Muslims, no matter what their personal or political beliefs may be. That is anti-Muslim bigotry and that is wrong and that is why it can be compared to anti-Semitism.
Duly noted. I can direct you to Peisistratus and KingofQue whose accounts have been banned or suspended for comments that called for the violent murder of all Muslims, guilty or innocent, friend or foe. Hard to convince others you're against terrorism when you say things like that...
Thanks for letting me know. I don't hear that nearly enough on some of these threads.
Exactly!! notify the public that anyone seen throwing any object will be shot where he/she/it stands!! And have the balls to do just that!
So every extremist is on "the right"???
I don't have a problem with denouncing all muslims.
try searching Google...

Every time useful idiots say that, Osama smiles.
Mecca is a segregated Islamic supremacist city. If you are kufir, you are not welcome there.
If Mecca (a pilgrimage to Mecca is one of the five pillars of Islam) is reflective of "true Islam", then it is an intolerant supremacist political ideology (Islamic law and Islamic territory go hand in hand, religion is a cloak).
People are free to practice whatever theological belief system they want, but we aren't so open with political belief systems (Nazism and Klan supremacists are monitored for violent rhetoric) and can openly condemn Communism. If more Islamic nations were tolerant of the open practice of other faiths and did not work to legally prohibit the conversion away from Islam to another faith (or simply abandoning religion for atheism or agnosticism), maybe the West would not be so skeptical.
Fasting all day is probably just wacking out their blood sugar levels. I'm certain that the adherents to the Religion of Peace would never riot. Give them a candy bar or two and I'm sure they'll settle down.
bttt
There is a distinction, though. And that is the history of Islam has been since the beginning, and continuing until the present moment, one of unremitting bloodshed, rapine, looting, and military aggression - in the name of God.
There is nothing comparable in Judaism.
And my use of the word "moderate" was sarcastic.
And I don't hate all Muslims or promote killing them. Just the jihadis.
So that's how you do it.
Mormons don't let "Gentiles" in their temples either. I expect your unequivocal denunciation of Mitt Romney will be issued immediately.

You are free to be skeptical. Don't impose your skepticism on your fellow citizens.
