When Moina Shaiq realized even her own friends were scared to ask her about her religion for fear of offending her or sounding uneducated, she put an advertisement in a California newspaper: “Questions and answers about being Muslim.” […]

With an uptick in anti-Muslim crimes in the U.S., Shaiq said she started the “Meet a Muslim” talks to educate people about her faith and culture while addressing people’s misconceptions and stereotypes. …

I have no issue with individual people.

I have strong issues against an idealogy that is an anethma to the Constitution of the United States and western civilization.

Make nice with the infidels, eh? Right up to the day you cut their throats.

No thanks. I've met all the mudslimes I ever care to.

Here’s the three questions I’d ask her:

1. What should happen to anyone who defaces the Koran?
2. What should happen to anyone who draws a picture of Mohammed?
3. What should happen to anyone who leaves the Muslim faith?

Would Ms. Shaiq answer honestly? Because an honest, mainstream Muslim would answer “death” to all three questions.

I saw this cartoon labeled, “The difference between a Jihadist and a Moderate Muslim.” It was two men standing beside each other. The one on the left was a foaming at the mouth man labeled, “Jihadist.” His bubble read, “If you do not convert to Islam, I will kill you.” The calm looking man on right was labeled, “Moderate Muslim.” He is pointing at the other guy. His bubble read, “If you do not convert to Islam, he will kill you.”

I think that sums it up.

All the nice sunni and shia out there (and they exist) still believe that all nations must come under dar es salaam - the peace of islam, i.e., sharia law.

So it doesn’t really matter how ‘nice’ they are. They support evil. There were a lot of Nazis in Germany in 1938 who were ‘nice’ also. But there is only one appropriate response to either group.

That it’s possible to find non- murderous Muslims has never been in doubt. This is not an issue, nor does this kind of silly, imho, event do a damned thing to protect us from the millions of dangerous blood-,thirsty Muslims

Muslims are like pit bulls. They are friendly, . . until they aren’t.

Well done. Nail, head. These people(?) don’t do anything to assist the compliance of acceptance of anything other than Islam. They don’t want to be understood or accepted. They want to conquer and be all encompassing. So accepting the understanding for mutual cohabitation is not within their scope or practice. They don’t care what anyone thinks if they are joiners. They just throw them away as they need to.

And with the protection of our government by being called a religious entity, they can herd the sheep right into the middle east or use them here so they can hide their filthy a$$es behind others and their stupid decisions. They never should have called this sect a religion. That’s the cover up.

When meeting a Muslim, you need remember only one word: taqiyya.

I know this is not truly possible. I consider them all to be latent jihadists.. They are taught we are infidels from ann early age but at the same integrate and assimilate into western society. I’ve always viewed the “good” ones as ticking time bombs - waiting to be triggered. Granted having fought these people may have given me a tainted viewpoint, but better to err on the side of caution.

"Misconceptions"? I have none where islam is concerned.

A percentage of muslims hate any other religion and will take violent steps to kill them as apostates.
The rest sit by and watch without so much as a mere objection.

In my view this makes both parties unfit for life among civilized people.
