"Islamists have declared war on the west. It is proclaimed from Mosques all over the world. Melanie Phillips has distributed tape recordings from inside Mosques in London, calling for jihad against the west and hanging of homosexuals."
I am aware these things exist and I believe the West must be vigilant.
However, these maniacs do not represent the whole of the Muslim community (if there now is any such community at all other than one in-name-only).
Another aspect of what is going on in Mosques is that Imams and other Muslim leaders who condemn terrorism often receive threats from Islamofascists. This is the ugly face of Islamofacism, yes, but it doesn't make the majority of Muslims Islamofascists.
You make your mistake when you try to separate the religion of Islam from the politics of Islam. Islam is a political system first and foremost, religion is the stimulus and the glue that is used to control and drive the movement forward. A Muslim cannot pick and choose which parts of the Koran to believe and support because the current of hatred runs throughout and the political goal of conquering and subjugating the infidel is foremost.
I would have to challenge a so called moderate Muslim to tell me what part of the Koran he believes, if he does not believe in Sharia law and hating and subjugating the infidel. What is left?
I was just thinking that if a so called moderate Muslim rejects Sharia law and the congquering and subjugation of the infidel, all they may as well convert to Judaism, because everything else Mohammed adopted from the Jews.
