When are you going to tire from posting stories about radicals to prove that they are not moderates?
You'll never post anything close to nine hundred individual stories, so give up.
Either that, or go do what you believe needs to be done.
You know, those guys Bush says are our 'steadfast allies in the war on terror.'
They're the highest islamic religious authority in that country. That makes them 'mainstream', not radical. They're the same 'mainstream' legally recognized religious authority as the ones in Afghanistan who wanted to tear a man into pieces for converting to Christianity.
That's mainstream islam my friend.
Now go back and reread the article. It's replete with citations from the koran. You know, the cornerstone of 'moderate islam'. Their holy book...you know.. the one that says it's ok to kill Christians and Jews.
The occasional 'moderate' you trot out is the radical. Mainstream islam says it's perfectly alright to kill anyone who disagrees with them.
Now let's review. We have the governments of Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Yemen, The UAE, Afghanistan (the one we installed), Jordan, Iran, and Iraq (also the one we installed), all claiming this monstrosity known as the koran is the literal word of God himself and anyone who disagrees must be killed.
On your side you've pointed up, what, a half a dozen people living in western nations who disagree. Most of those can't leave their homes without bodyguards.
Tens of thousands of muslims in Europe have been burning and smashing things because of some cartoons yet somehow you think I'm the one who's out of touch with reality.
Talk about a disconnect...
You've managed to come up with a handful of 'moderate' muslims. I've shown tens of thousands of examples of mainstream islamic thought. I'd say I'm the one who's got the evidence on his side my friend.
