Hi nuconvert...
Thanks for the note.
I understand the mafia syndrome (have Italian relatives). I realize their are SOME Muslims living in fear and intimidation. I'm sure some of those I know fall into that category.
What I am saying is that we can never be 100% sure of who falls into that group and who doesn't. What if they all have a big surprise for us one day? Even those who just wanted to live peacefully among us in the present.
Why do those people voluntarily go to hate-preaching mosques? And what about their writings? Have you read their numerous writings about Jews and Christians? There is no getting around it. If they believe that the Quoran is their law, please tell me what they do with those evil rantings about killing Jews and Christians. It is for this reason I will not trust the Muslim community as a whole.
Can you honestly tell me that you trust every seemingly moderate Muslim, 100%? Think about it. There are some I trust because I know them (or at least I think I do). But trust every one because they say they are moderate...na, not me.
As an aside, there are some Italians who do not involve themselves with the mob, but they don't have much of a problem with them either! Not most, but some.
Let's peacefully agree to disagree on this. I appreciate your point of view, but I won't be swayed. Up here in Canada there were numerous Muslims celebrating 9/11...you know, the ones living quietly amongst us, going to work, going to school...
"Can you honestly tell me that you trust every seemingly moderate Muslim, 100%?"
I don't trust everyone of any religion 100%.
No problem. We can agree to disagree.
