"Sept. 11 had nothing to do with Islam and Muslims,"

Denial is not a river in Egypt.

[denydenydeny]

A delegation of high-ranking Muslim leaders from Saudi Arabia, Nigeria and Egypt stopped in Chicago on Monday to offer a voice of "tolerance and moderation" after the Sept. 11 attacks and urge an end to Muslim stereotypes, particularly in the media.

I know I keep repeating myself on this, but

I WISH THESE PEOPLE WOULD STOP EDUCATING US ABOUT THE TRUE, "PEACEFUL" NATURE OF ISLAM AND START EDUCATING THEIR FELLOW MUSLIMS.

[concerned about politics]

"Sept. 11 had nothing to do with Islam and Muslims," said Dr. Al-Shieck Ahmad Lemu, president of the Islamic Educational Endowment in Nigeria. "Don't define Muslims according to them," he said, referring to the terrorists.

Only if they stop defining all Americans as satanic liberal extremists. We're not all Democrats, either.

"Sept. 11 had nothing to do with Islam and Muslims,"

And the Inquisition had nothing to do with Roman Catholicism.

You can recognize that an action or group is not representative of what your religion stands for and still see that it does indeed have "something to do with" it.

This guy is in TOTAL denial. Muslims need to be taking responsibility for Islamic terrorism -- not dodging it. There are too many Muslim sypathizers with terrorism for this guy to say that terrorism has NOTHING to do with Islam.

Maybe once they step up to the plate and acknowledge the size of the violent Muslim "lunatic fringe" -- if that's what it is -- then they can do something constructive by encouraging their fellow Muslims to condemn this behavior in no uncertain terms.

It is not non-Muslims who need to have their consciousness raised about Islam. These so-called Muslim leaders ought to spend less time telling westerners to reject the evidence of their own lying eyes, and more time trying to whip up angry Muslim hostility against the purveyors of Muslim terror.

Tell em what they wanna hear..just to get that camel's nose in the door...

[Jimmy Valentine's brother]

When Christians and Jews are free to openly practice their faith and foreign national women can walk uncovered in their countries, then we can discuss the lack of tolerance in the United States. Until then, "NUTS"

[RightWhale]

They got it backwards somehow. There is plenty of tolerance on this end. Intolerance is something they need to work on. America is the most tolerant country on earth.

Muslim leaders stress tolerance

LOL, yeah, right.

"Sept. 11 had nothing to do with Islam and Muslims,"

LOL, yeah, right.

"Sept. 11 had nothing to do with Islam and Muslims,"

Except that they were all Muslims that did it for Islam, but that is a minor point!

Wonder how they feel about tolerance of and moderation toward Israelis and Americans? Of COURSE they want us to express tolerance and moderation toward them, and they may actually give lip service to same toward Israelis and Americans. But in reality, no such thing will be extended by the "high-ranking Muslim leaders".

[Texbob]

The Muslims want tolerance, but most mid eastern Muslims do NOT want to give tolerance.

[onedoug]

The polygamist Mohammad married and copulated with a nine-year-old while initiating and encouraging the spread of Islam by warfare. And we're supposed to see some sort of moral equivalence in this?

What parts of NEVER! does anyone not understand?

[B Knotts]

mam Wallace D. Mohammed, leader of the Muslim American Society, at the meeting to support the delegation, said Muslims should have spoken out earlier against extremists.

"No one expected that any one human being would do those sick things, but we did know about extremists who gave us a bad name," said Mohammed, the son of deceased Nation of Islam leader Elijah Muhammad. "We should have been dealing with this all along."

Well, at least one guy has figured it out.

Isn't that special!

after the Sept. 11 attacks and urge an end to Muslim stereotypes, particularly in the media.

Saudi Arabia, eh? So "tolerance" must surely mean that the open practice of (and adherence to) other faiths would be permitted, right? No doubt they will welcome Christian missionaries into their country.

Suuuure they will.

Good! A show of good faith on the tolerance issue would be to allow Christians and Jews in each of these respective countries to proselytize Muslims. (Hehe)

Here is another example of islam - the cult of peace and love.

[Bill Davis FR]

why are muslims killing christians in nigeria? the koran teaches muslims to kill the non-believers...

[river rat]

Until the majority of "real and peace loving" Muslims agressively participate in the war against radical Islamic murders (and stop making excuses)--- there can be NO DENIAL of the suspicion that perhaps Islam is the enemy.

There have been TOO MANY recent examples that bear truth to the charge that Islam is simply murderous cult.

How long, before the civilized world begins to recognize the murderous gangs and forces in Islam as no better than an Arab KKK?
Semper Fi

Well, they strain mine.
