Moderate Islam?
EuropeNews ^ | 28Jul08 | Sam Solomon

Where is moderate Islam? Does it exist? If so, then where? Is it rooted in true Islam or just wishful thinking?

"Islam is a Religion of Peace" "Muhammad is a man of Peace" "The Qur'an is a book of Peace"

What is the situation today?

The Sunday Telegraph on 19 February 2006 carried a YouGov survey report that revealed:

40% of British Muslims identified with Islamic radicalism.

This was post 7/7, and, for whatever reason, shows that radicalism is on the increase in Britain. It may be that new immigrants are swelling the numbers of radical Islam, but it is certainly true that many British Muslims are being won over to a more Islamist position. It is reasonable to conclude that between 2001 and 2006 converts to the "radical cause' came from the group previously identified as nominal.

Imagine that, they have become MORE radicalized after the 7/7 train bombing that murdered so many infidels.

islam is terrorism.

EOD.

The greatest anti-truth, anti-freedom, anti-individual, anti-life collective in the history of civilization.

The real question isn’t whether there are moderate Muslims. There certainly are. The question is this: in the debate between the moderate interpretation and the extremist interpretation of Islam — which interpretation is correct?

I’m just not sure the extremists have misinterpreted the faith.

The “extremists” have the “correct” interpretation.

Muslims are REQUIRED to conduct WAR (jihad) worldwide until everyone is Muslim or paying the jizya tax and living in subjugation.

Those who would speak out against this teaching are apostate and subject to death.

It doesn’t matter if there are moderate Muslims!

If only 10% of Muslims are radical jihadists, that means 100 MILLION Muslims want to kill or enslave me because I’m not a Muslim.

Is anyone comfortable with that?

The only moderate muslim I know eats pork ribs, drinks vodka like water, and chases women—and says he’s a muslim.

If they were all like that, at least half of the threads on FR would never exist.

Absolutely. In my defense for posting an article like this, it is merely my intention to show the apologists just how wrong they are for parroting the “islam is peace” lie to their fellow Americans. Their pseudo intelligentsia position puts them & us in a dangerous position. They are the main barrier in front of us that keeps these savages at our throats. They are the "Near enemy" which we need to convert from their failed position based out of their arrogance/stupidity/ or worse..their subversive plans.

Not true.

Mohammad Atta, one of the 15 of the 19 hijackers, did EXACTLY what you posted prior to their devastating attack on us.

Islam is deception, and it seems that you have taken the bait.

Stand back & reevaluate your understanding of islam. They PREY on your nativity only to use it against us. It's all WELL documented. That is why there will be 100x more posts such as these to present the TRUTH to those who fail to realize the threat that is at our doorstep...islam.

Any “sin” is allowed in Islam, especially for the jihadis, as long as it advances Islamic dominance of the world.

We will be the subject of warfare and bloodshed for centuries to come because some 6th century megalomaniac decided to create his own religion, and in doing so decided that God wanted us to dominate one another instead of live together in peace.

I know what you’re saying and I agree with your deception suspicion. But you don’t know this guy and if I described him any further, it would affect my anonymity. This guy is basically an apostate.

Of course, there are moderates — they use remote detonators instead of belt bombs.

If in fact you’re correct, which I believe, you do have a friend. Just “Trust but verify”.

Thank FRiend.

I couldn't care less which interpretation is correct, so long as they all stayed home. That is not the question.

The question that matters to me is: Do the 90% of the presumed "moderate muslims" support, directly or indirectly, through action or inaction, the 100,000,000 killers among them?

That's all I care about.
