There are many sects in the Muslim and Islamic religions. To call all muslims terrorists is total nonsense and shows just how uneducated people are. Farber should also know better. Why hasn't Farber reached out for some of these? more moderate muslims? Can't find any? Thats nonsense. Not good copy? Not good talk radio? The percentage of radicals in the muslim religion is a small percentage of total muslims and their beliefs. Though they do control many of the Islamic Organizations, which is a problem. BTW, in case your wondering, I am Catholic. Though I have many muslim friends, Some are even FBI and USSS Agents. Many are in the military and hold the Constitution closer than many others.
Just because someone is a muslim does not mean they are terrorist, killers and traitors.
There are many sects, true. Many of the smaller ones like the Admadiyya in Pakistan are severely per secuted. Sufi Islam in Kashmir has been virtually eradicated in PakistaniKashmir. As it was in Afghanistan under the Taliban. Shiites are persecuted by the Sunni majority in Pakistan. The Wahhahahabis of Saudi, Sunnis, finance most of the mosques in the USA and preach that only their version of islam is valid and all others are useless. This wouldn't matter much except the jihadis subscribe to this, the most well financed branch of islam.
Why does Farber have to reach out? Visit the 'islamic' sites like islamonline and arabnews and gulfnews; read the literature.
And anyway, shouldn't American muslims be more in tune with the modern world? Why are the imams of America preaching Wahhabism? Because they are trained in Saudi and financed by the princes.
Why is it that any statement of truth about islam is taken as an attack upon it. Only a country like the USA would offer the very religion in whose name it was attacked a soapbox.
And what does the USA get in return? Recriminations, fingerpointing, blameassigning and a general call to read the Koran and become well versed in islam. Many people have and their opinions are based on having read extensively about Islam after 9/11.
And then to be told, by the 'moderates' that 9/11 has led to a great flowering and interest in Islam as i was told by an imam acquaintance of mine, expressing pride and joy in Americans interest in islam, conveniently forgetting that it was a act of horrendous mass murder that caused that 'interest' in the first place.
