Rand Paul to ‘civilized Islam’: Step up
Politico ^ | 09/10/2014 | By LUCY MCCALMONT

Posted on 09/11/2014 10:04:19 AM PDT by Responsibility2nd

Sen. Rand Paul said President Barack Obama made “one important point ” in his remarks on Wednesday saying that the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant was neither Islamic nor a state, but questioned the constitutionality of the president’s strategy.

“Ultimately, civilized Islam will have to step up. We need to do everything we can to protect ourselves, I’m all in for saying we have to combat ISIS,” Paul said Wednesday on “Hannity.” “So I think it is important not only for the American public but for the world and for the Islamic world to point out that this is not a true form of Islam, this is an abhorrent form.”

“Civilized Islam”

“Step up” or...

admit that it really doesn’t exist,
that it’s an oxymoron, moron.

Rand thinks there are civilized Muslims? The NAZI’s were very polite and wore clean uniforms while they committed their slaughters....

Correct.

Saudi Arabia is already concerned over IS. And I just read that Jordan has problems with with Obana giving Syrian troops US weapons.

And to this I say: Tough shitski. Go and fight your own battles. A muslim is a muslim is a muslim.

The enemy of my enemy IS STILL MY ENEMY!

Imagine: FLASHBACK>>1944 US>> American Senators and President beg ‘good Nazis’ to step up and show the world the TRUE form of Nazism!<< Nazis continue to SHOW the true form of Nazism. America refuses to believe it. Hitler wins.

This isn’t funny, it isn’t stupid, it’s CRIMINAL and it’s suicidal and everyone who spouts this kind of garbage should be immediately shipped to Iraq to put their lives where their mouths are. GO- talk sense, try to reach the humanity, tell the Taliban and ISIS they are not the ‘true’ Islam. As they saw through your throat screaming Allah Ackbar maybe THEN you’ll get the message. It IS Islam, and it’s US or THEM.
Rand Paul just got put in the coward moron column.

The term “civilized Islam” was a poor choice of words by Senator Paul. He is referring to politically and economically stable societies where radical fundamentalist Islam has not made major in-roads. A few examples would be Turkey, Jordan and Indonesia, a nation where religious freedom is stipulated in the Indonesian constitution and the government officially recognizes six religions: Islam, Protestantism, Roman Catholicism, Hinduism, Buddhism, and Confucianism. Indonesia is the world’s most populous Muslim-majority nation, at 87%.
Indonesia has the world’s 10th largest economy.

Beheading was common in Bosnia where we killed our best WW II allies to favor the head choppers. I used to have a bunch of these videos that I downloaded for my preacher, they were horrible and if the American people actually saw these kinds of atrocities maybe they would be a little more outraged.

Remember the actual killings were not shown on networks, just the lead up, we were protected by our betters, from the actual depravity on full display.

Protected....Americans have no problem with gory, violent video games. There the blood is pretend , but they have to be protected from reality? What happened to ‘education’ being everything? Yet we DON’T want to see what abortion looks like or real executions. What Islam IS should be shown to every American daily. Middle school up, the schools should show what is REALLY HAPPENING. Or we WILL see it, in person, on our streets!

Rand Paul pretty much depicts Gomer Pyle venturing into the hood.

As long as we’re working with various groups in the ME, it’s hard to attack Islam directly.

More prosperous countries like China need to play world police now. US is pathetically bankrupt already with nearly $18 Trillion in debt scheduled to go over $20 Trillion by the time Obummer leaves office.

I am tired of chicken hawks with empty pockets.
