In the wake of the Boston bombing, Muslims "find ourselves in that very awkward and uncomfortable place," said Mather Hathout, the senior advisor of the Muslim Public Affairs Council.

"Muslims, don’t lose heart," he said. "We are really good people. We are really good Americans."

You have to admit the assertion was jarring. Could use some reworking.
Sounds like he hasn't read that Koran thingy.
Yup...in EVERY Muslim there is a dormant trait disorder called SJS (Sudden Jihad Syndrome)...
It comes to fruition when exposed to extremism...
When the Rosenbergs gave up the nuclear bomb secrets, America did not respond with a Krisallnacht against all Jews; Americans don’t do that. Nonetheless, when one picks up a snake, it’s wise to be sure it doesn’t have rattles on its tail.
So in a round about way, we have reached the same conclusion...there is no such thing as a good muslim!
If ever a religion needed a reformation—its Islam.
There, fixed it.
I know what progressive means. It means liberal left wing communist plain and simple.
The followers of Islam are bad - evil people. See Dr. Bill Warner at www.politicalislam.com. Educate yourself.
Shouldn’t they be asked if they believe in forgiveness as in turning the other cheek when offended? Shouldn’t we ask them if they believe in love(treat) your neighbor as you would yourself? I wonder what there answers would be? And would they know who taught this as values to follow?
Not really. What I have offered is an ‘acid test’. That I have never met a Muslim who passed it does not mean that there are not some who could.
Comparatively, during the HUAC investigations, looking for and finding communist infiltrators in the US government, there was a simple trick to find a fanatical communist.
It was to tell them a funny joke, to see if they were capable of “honest laughter”. This was because it was discovered that fanatics, including communist ones, have a very restrictive world view, defining everything in light of their fanatical beliefs. If they cannot fit it in, they discard it as useless information.
Typically, people use laughter as a psychological defensive technique when they observe or imagine the irrational. But this is a different technique than is used by fanatics.
It was not definitive, but it was a good indicator.
Many Muslims are “passive” Muslims, and while they can be organized into a mob, they are just followers, having no great initiative to act on their own. Without a fanatic to push them, their behavior is ordinary, and not particularly anti-non-Muslim.
Having no natural impulse to act makes them good candidates to embrace a reformed Islam, as it is just easier to do nothing than to be aggressive.
