Dr. Jasser is the real deal. Having spoken with him many times, there is not a duplicitous bone in his body.

He catches hell from the ignorant on both sides of the argument, yet he continues on. He’s no slacker as you have seen by his testemony before Congress.

[MadIsh32]

He is a good guy and I agree. You tend to know someone is doing the right thing when both sides are crushing him

[Mr. Mojo]

Of course, in covering Peter King’s (R-NY) hearings yesterday on Islamic radicalization at which Dr. Jasser testified, the media didn’t bother to tell his compelling and only-in-America life story.

The media far prefers these narratives -- "It's Bush's fault!" ....."America is and always has been a racist/imperialist country"......"Christian fundamentalists are just as or perhaps even more dangerous than Islamic fundamentalists"......"American foreign policy (specifically its support for Israel) causes whatever Muslim radicalization exists in the world".......etc.

Anything that takes attention away from those (completely insane) narratives is avoided like the plague.

This guy is right. I know Muslims and have worked with Muslims who are just like every other American in their beliefs. In fact, the Muslims I know personally tend to be exceedingly polite. They are fine people. However, in the vast world of Islam, they are a small minority of which this doctor is a part. And he hits the nail on the head with this quote:

"I've never met a Muslim who wouldn't report violence," Dr. Jasser says. "But this isn't about violence; it's about walking back the ideas that can lead to violence, specifically those ideas that can implicitly justify actions against the 'oppressors.' "

This could be said about many ideologies. We are seeing it now in Wisconsin. An aggressive group believes that they have a right to get what they want by force and, because of their beliefs, are superior to others. Whether its in the Koran or in the ideology that has been fed to union workers who threaten to kill Republicans, that is the danger that needs to be contained and ultimately stamped out.

His witness testimony at King's hearing was articulate and impressive.

King was also great at the press conference following the hearing. He kept referring to the "media hysteria" surrounding the hearing and didn't back down one bit from the slack-jawed mob that passes for the press these days.

[Westbrook]

Sorry.

I have to agree with Howie Carr on this one.

There are only two kinds of Moslems: exploded and unexploded.

This guy is yet unexploded.

I cannot trust them.

I just cannot.

Great, a talking dog. An anomaly. A Nazi officer with a heart of gold. A sample so small it's not even in the statistical margin of error.

One guy.

Bronze him and put him in a museum. The rest of them exist to kill us.

I have no idea why that post showed up twice. Sorry.

[Altura Ct.]

Hi is a ‘good guy’ but so what?

[righttackle44]

I have to agree with Howie Carr on this one.

Some might think that some who haven't met Dr. Jasser and said this, might be morons. And I agree with them.

Fine. Think me a moron.

Meanwhile, consider this.

Once was enough for me.

Jesus was ONE MAN too.

[Apercu]

Dr. Jasser calls himself a “fairly orthodox Muslim” - what does that mean? If he does not follow the Koran than he is not practicing his religion which calls for the killing of Jews, Christians, and infidels including apostates.

While he is to be given credit for speaking out, most “moderate” Muslims do not and are complicit in the terror committed by the Jihadis who are following the Koran and Sharia Law. There will never be peace with Islam because in addition to it's religious teachings, it is also a political system and it needs to be eradicated.There is no such thing as moderate Islam.

[Spruce]

Hold on there.

Did you seriously just equate this man to our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ?

Really?

[HonestConservative]

If you knew him, you wouldn’t talk about him that way. He is none of the things you say.

[668 - Neighbor of the Beast]

"I've never met a Muslim who wouldn't report violence," Dr. Jasser says.

Well, I have. Literally dozens of them. He should get out more.

Let's pray this "good guy" finds Jesus before Jesus finds him. :)

Lying and cheating in the Arab world is not really a moral matter but a method of safeguarding honor and status, avoiding shame, and at all times exploiting possibilities, for those with the wits for it, deftly and expeditiously to convert shame into honor on their own account and vice versa for their opponents. If honor so demands, lies and cheating may become absolute imperatives.” [David Pryce-Jones, “The Closed Circle” An interpretation of the Arabs, p4]

“No dishonor attaches to such primary transactions as selling short weight, deceiving anyone about quality, quantity or kind of goods, cheating at gambling, and bearing false witness. The doer of these things is merely quicker off the mark than the next fellow; owing him nothing, he is not to be blamed for taking what he can.” [David Pryce-Jones, “The Closed Circle”, p38]

The word "Taqiyya" literally means: "Concealing, precaution, guarding.” It is employed in disguising one's beliefs, intentions, convictions, ideas, feelings, opinions or strategies. In practical terms it is manifested as dissimulation, lying, deceiving, vexing and confounding with the intention of deflecting attention, foiling or pre-emptive blocking. It is currently employed in fending off and neutralising any criticism of Islam or Muslims.

[RoadTest]

Wait until he reads the Koran.
