What Makes a Muslim Radical?
http://www.foreignpolicy.com/story/cms.php?story_id=3637&page=0

Based on a new Gallup World Poll of more than 9,000 interviews in nine Muslim countries, we find that Muslim radicals have more in common with their moderate brethren than is often assumed.

There are no 'radicals' in islam. You are blood thirsty monster or just lying low supporting other bloodthirsty monsters. It's all in the koran.

Birth into a fanatical family that believes radical Imams and the Koran.

Diving for pennies in the shallow end of the gene pool.

Yes, that, and trying to follow the example of Muhammed.

It's amazing how many refuse to see this. Many/most of the Lefties on some other forums I'm on, are in this category.

3 decades of madrassas are coming home to roost. It may take the big one, Truman style to rid the world of these animals.

What Makes a Muslim Radical?

What makes a tick or a bed-bug suck blood?

Who cares?

Squash them, one and all, wherever they are found.

It's scary when you realize that a religion with 1 billion adherents requires its members to kill you or convert you. Most people prefer to keep their head in the sand.

Most Muslims are good people, but then they are not good Muslims. Many Muslims are faithful, but then they are not good people.

This is the first description of Islam that I have heard in years that makes any sense.

History has shown that there are two categories of Muslims - the radical faction that openly plans to kill non-muslims, and the "moderates" who silently support the first group. The fundamentalist portray the true face of Islam and the moderates the Trojan horse. The first group gets its recruits from the second.

Easy--the radicals trumpet the fact that they are on the winning side. Young, impressionable Muslims look around, see Western accomodation and weakness, and conclude they are right. Why not join the team that appears to be winning?

"It's scary when you realize that a religion with 1 billion adherents requires its members to kill you or convert you."

What is even more frightening is that we have a government and political parties that welcome these murderers in our country.

They should have asked the moderate Muslims why aren't they supporting Jihad.

I want to know why these "moderates" aren't suicide bombers, what in the Koran forbids them.

If they keep their heads in the sand much longer, they may not get to keep their heads!!

Most Muslims are good people, but then they are not good Muslims. Many Muslims are faithful, but then they are not good people.

Yes, I agree with this. The closer they follow the Koran and that religion, the more violent they are.

Just as in Christianity the fruits of the Spirit of God are peace, joy, love and happiness..the fruits of a false religion like Islam are enmity, alienation, bitterness and hate.

The Devil is furious because he knows he has little time left, and those he's deceived the most are his tools to direct that hatred at God's people.
