The firestorm around Rep. Ilhan Omars recent tweets about the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) and criticism of Israel has drawn attention to what language rises to the level of anti-Semitism, the shameful double standards for Muslims and people of color, and how anti-Semitism is often hypocritically used as a political bludgeon. GOP leadership has called for an official censure and her removal from the House Foreign Affairs Committee, and House Democrats called for a resolution this week denouncing anti-Semitism after Omar recently tweeted, I should not be expected to have allegiance/pledge support to a foreign country in order to serve my country, which some have said plays on the anti-Semitic trope of dual loyalty. Notably, no such outrage from Republican members of Congress emerged after House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy used anti-Semitic tropes during the 2018 midterm election or during much of the tenure of Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa), who has a long history of making offensive comments about race and white nationalism.

This is what happens when you let the Left spread their vile, commie ideas & vitriol unchallenged. They take it to the next level.
My company is currently run by couple of afghans theres a Palestinian and a few other Indians
now there are a lot of Muslims that are just kind a regular they believe some fanciful notion of Mohammed and that he some sacred guy and dont really have any kind of Jihad ideas
and I asked him. Questions about ISIS and things like that and they say oh its kind of like the Christian religious extremist that you know blowup abortion clinics
Try to remember that the majority of Muslims are just trying to believe in something and really arent adherence to the actual book
Do you mean just like some Germans did not support the nazis, and some russians did not support the bolshevicks, and some japanese did not support the emperor, and some chinese did not support Mao Tse Tung? I could go on.
I very much understand that the average muslim is not a jihadi. I also understand, however, that this is no excuse for their continued support of islam because it directly supports those who do execute jihad. Jihad is a very clear and important point of the islamic religion.
In all of these cases above though, there was a geographic reality for people who did not support a regime. People had to move to show they did not support the regime and of course, the regime made moving extremely difficult if not impossible. (i.e. The berlin wall)
In the case of islam there is no physical border and all that is required is to renounce the faith. Of course, billions do not just like the people you note in your post. In short, by staying in the islamic faith, they are supporting the murderous rampage of islam by giving money and support to their mosques and thus perpetuating islam.
There is no abstaining in warfare. One always chooses a side if not explicitly, then implicitly through their actions.
Now, there are plenty of examples in history of those who have used the christian faith as a cover to do evil. However, destroying a murderous abortion mill which kills babies is a just target in the war to save the lives of babies who can not defend themselves. It is no different than any just war that has been executed by states throughout human history, such as the cold war to defeat the soviets, the invasion of Normandy to free the French and the Korean war to stop the spread of communism. I doubt anyone would have complained if a german bombed a concentration camp in an attempt to save those interned in the camp from being murdered.
Islam however distinctly demands in the koran that its followers kill an infidel who simply does not submit to islam. This is much different than stopping a murderer who sacrifices and dismembers babies.
