The crazy thing about all of this is how the leftist have actually convinced people that “for the most part” Islam is peaceful.
I used to think so to, but a first hand experience changed my mind completely. I was a college ESL instructor and I had several muslims in my class. During class discussions, they always painted themself so moderate. They would argue with the stereotypes, and insist that most muslims were not like the radicals that did terrorism.
Well, around that time is when Rushdie’s “Satanic Verses” came out and a student from Holland mentioned it in class. All of the sudden the anger in that room was palpable - and one “moderate” student stood and told me that he hoped that Allah would give him the honor of cutting off this man’s head in front of his wife and children, and then doing the same to them. The whole group of them agreed and started shouting and things were really getting out of hand so that I had to cancel class and call in security.
Moderate, my patootie. That wasn’t the first time I saw the Moderate/Radical about face either. I saw it among some of the faculty too when these subjects came up. It was unnerving to say the least.
Ugh, sorry for all the grammar and typo mistakes...
