Moderate Islam is OK? Can your body tolerate moderate amounts of cyanide?
How can a religion whose very scriptures demand deception and mass murder be considered "moderate"?
Kind of funny that we feel so superior to our middle-ages ancestors but on this on issue they are way, way ahead of us.
"We come in peace. We come in peace."
One thing is certain about Koran-reading muslims. If they aren't strapping plastics explosives around their or their young child's stomach they're contributing to those that do.
I might have listened to Mr. Pipe’s proposal on 9/10/2001.
This is war; there can be no “moderation”.
Imo if we can ban mormons from having multiple celestial wives, which was an integral part of their religion.. We can ban Islam if we want.
Also I’ve had this argument with head in sand libertarians; you can’t allow people to use freedoms, as part of a plan to take away freedoms. For example letting communists in the government agencies organize together because of ‘freedom of association’ is suicidal. I think you abdicate any freedom, when you are using that freedom as part of a plan to take away the freedom in the future.
Islam wants to spread, but we all know they will take away freedom of religion once they have enough strength. Thats a big difference between them and the other religions I have seen. Eg.. Hindhus I don’t get the feeling that if Hindhus became a majority they would take away freedom of religion.
This was written by Pipes?????
The point he's trying to make is rather fanciful considering "Islamist interpretations" are indistinquishable from a "normative reading."
Anyone picking up a Koran on a desert island two hundred years in the future could easily develop into an "Islamist" and start the whole conflict over again.
Yes, almonds are quite tasty.
The Muhammadan Death Cult has conquered much of the world, and continues to hack it’s way through the remaining parts.
Even now it has penetrated into the heart of the remaining fortresses of civilization.
At some level we need to start discussing the fact that Islam is not just another form of faith. It is like the Borg, there is no “peaceful coexistence”.
The Constitution is NOT a suicide pact.
Right. They were not neutered by the poison that is multiculturalism, tolerance, and political correctness.
The discussion has already been joined: it's just not acceptable...yet.
Charge them a Dhimmi tax.
Behead muslums for proselitizing.
Make Halel butchering practices illegal (because these practices are offensive to non muslums).
Make possession of the koran illegal, (as is possession of a Bible is in Saudi Arabia).
Death for any one who converts to islum.
Make beheading muslums a pay per view event.
Turn a blind eye to any kidnapping, rape, forced marriage, forced conversion, enslavement, and so on of any muslum woman that a non muslum can capture.
Allow non muslim men to have one non muslum wife, but any number of muslum concubines (slaves).
Forbid muslum women from driving or going out in public without wearing a burka and the accompaniment of a male muslim family member.
And so on.
Ban the Koran? That would just make more people read it. Refusing to capitulate to Islamists - yes. How weird this was championed by a gay right-winger Daddy Warbucks look-alike (who was killed not by wacko Islamists but by a wacko animal rights activists).
I don’t want our government in the business of banning religions. Strangely enough, the founding fathers agree with me.
...along with its radical varmints.
“Tolerate moderate Islam..”
Should we also tolerate moderate AIDS or cancer?
Reading some parts of the Bible aloud is now a hate crime in Canada. Does this apply to the Koran as well?
