Hajj pilgrims denounce ISIS 'virus' but doubt US-led war

As they gather in Saudi Arabia's holy city of Mecca for the annual hajj, some pilgrims have denounced atrocities by ISIS jihadists as "a virus" threatening the world.

But many also expressed concerns about the US-led air war against them.

"Islam is innocent from actions of the Islamic State (ISIS)," Kurdish Iraqi pilgrim Alan Abdullah told AFP, describing ISIS as "a virus threatening the whole world".

ISIS has seized large parts of Iraq and Syria, declaring a Muslim "caliphate" and imposing its own harsh interpretation of Islamic law.

The jihadists have executed captured Iraqi soldiers, crucified people, forced non-Muslims to convert and beheaded Western hostages on camera.

"IS (ISIS) are carrying out terrorist acts, slaughtering people and causing trouble," said another Kurdish pilgrim, Shawkat Ahmed Qader.

" Islam is far from their acts and beliefs."

People who walk in circles around a meteor encased in a vagina-shaped frame with a goal of kissing the meteor 7 times are talking about how something perverts their beliefs? Really?

“Malcolm X, an American civil rights activist, describes the sociological atmosphere he experienced at his Hajj in the 1960s as follows:

There were tens of thousands of pilgrims, from all over the world. They were of all colors, from blue-eyed blondes to black-skinned Africans. But we were all participating in the same ritual, displaying a spirit of unity and brotherhood that my experiences in America had led me to believe never could exist between the white and the non-white. America needs to understand Islam, because this is the one religion that erases from its society the race problem. You may be shocked by these words coming from me. But on this pilgrimage, what I have seen, and experienced, has forced me to rearrange much of my thought patterns previously held.[59]”

” Islam is far from their acts and beliefs.”

And STILL, therein lies their problem. Nothing more than a bunch of ostriches.

Muslims need to go to war against any Muslims who preach or practice violence.

Until they do that, they are all complicit in the violence. But it's a violent religion with an evil core, so while they may try to talk a good game, they will never oppose the most radical factions within their midst. They recognize that the most violence factions are really the very best Muslims.

A radical mohammedan wants to cut your head off. A moderate mohammedan does not want to cut your head off; he wants the radical mohammedan to do it.

The 1 billion+ peaceniks of the “religion of peace” can deal with the JV, ISIS. The winner will play the Washington Redskins at Washington, New York, Los Angeles, Dearborn-Michigan or More-Oklahoma. Advance jihadists are anticipating a great game.

It’s called a target rich environment. Eliminate a bunch of terrorists in one fell swoop.

And yet, there are still riots there, usually caused by the Shi’ites.

Barry's way ahead of you. He's so angry at muslims that obliterate his cover of sending tens of billions of aid to muslims, that he'll do a kabuki dance of pretending to bomb muslims when they show they apparently have no nuanced sense of taqqiyah.

Muslims policing themselves always results in a more totalitarian, radical, murderous manifestation of Islam as those police simply adhere more closely to the life example of their claimed Allah's Messenger.
