... ask them to renounce their hate-cult instead
There’s a problem here.
If someone attacks innocents claiming he’s acting in defense of western civilization or Christianity, you bet I’ll denounce him.
I believe just about all conservatives denounced Anders Breivik or whatever his name was in Norway. The guy who killed all the children.
I want to make it very clear he’s not part of MY group just because he claims to be. I cast him out.
(Most) Muslims don’t seem to feel a similar desire to cast out those who do such things.
Cannot expect muslims to condemn child brides, slavery, genocide, or an apartheid legal system. It’s the way of Mohammed.
Not all Muslims are terrorists, but damned near all terrorists are Muslims. It’s not a coincidence.
I’ll remind everyone that President Barack Hussein Obama saw to it that Osama Bin Laden’s corpse was given a proper muslim funeral (with respect for OBL and to not enrage the ‘non-Islamic’ muslims who supported OBL’s global jihad).
Screw this deception that they “aren’t really muslims”.
“The implication is that every Muslim is under suspicion of being sympathetic to terrorism unless he or she explicitly says otherwise.”
No, they are under suspicion no matter what they say, since most who would sympathize will obviously just lie about it.
Same Leftists utter “white guilt” without the least bit of irony occurring to them.
Its 100% OK to expect white Americans to have shared guilt.
Mr. Fisher may think asking muslims to denounce terrorist acts is “Islamophobic and bigoted” but I think that it is useless even to ask for an overt denouncement. If you do,you will not get an unambiguous truthful one if offered. Why? Because firstly, their silence is and has been their statement and secondly, they all subscribe to the same operating handbook.
The only good Muslim is a bad Muslim.
I’m islamophobic and bigoted.
Yeah... so?
I don’t get it when a liberal calls someone a whatever-phobe or a bigot. Is that supposed to make them cower in shame? Is that the ultimate argument winner?
Someone calls me whatever-phobe or a bigot... heck, I agree with them. Yeah... and?
I don’t expect them apologize for Muslims doing what Muslims do. But, Mr Goldfinger says it better.

but lets demand police apologize when acting in self defense such as the michael brown incident...
Why...? When some guy who may or may not be a Christian goes and shoots an abortion butcher, everyone feels it is necessary to lecture every Christian about not shooting people. That lunacy went on here at FR for weeks. I guess that was anti Christian bigotry coming out.
At least Christians understand that the killer of the abortion butcher was acting against his claimed faith, despite the possible good that it did. Muslims understand that terrorism is an act of their faith, regardless of the evil outcomes. It’s a big difference, and people are curious to see how Muslims react.
That said, I freely admit my bigotry against Islam. All decent, sane people should hate Islam, and understand it to be the evil that it is.
He wets his pants about "Climate Change", for example. And scary, scary guns in the hands of law-abiding Americans. http://www.vox.com/2014/10/17/6988377/threats-to-americans-ranked-ebola-isis-russia-furniture
No wonder he writes such rubbish for Vox.com (a.k.a. the poster child of low-information leftists).
These days, I’m actually okay with “bigotry” and “Islamophobia.”
Not being bigoted and Islamaphobic shows a lack of judgement and common sense.
The following is an article by Martel Sobieskey,
There is the erroneous assertion that Radical Islam is not connected with mainstream (moderate) Islam in any way, that the religion of Islam has been hijacked by a few extremists that the vast majority of Muslims do not agree with the Islamofascists. Such thinking is a terrible error and a grave threat to Americas national security, especially in this age of nuclear terrorism.
So what is Radical Islam and what should it be properly named? Radical Islam is actually the Islamic Military. The so-called radicals are not a fringe element; they are fully supported by the worldwide Islamic community (Ummah). If they were a fringe element, they would have been defeated long ago. The fight rages on because of strong support from the moderates both covertly and overtly. This means the Islamic Military (wrongly labeled radicals) is intimately connected with moderate Muslims who we have mistakenly labeled as innocent bystanders.
Moderate Muslims are not innocent bystanders. Moderate Muslims provide the base of operations which makes it possible for the Islamic Military to continue their terrorist operations. Hate America, demands to replace constitution with the Koran, and outbursts for Sharia law are preached openly from nearly every Mosque in America under the guise of freedom of speech and religion. Freedom of speech and religion has morphed into a weaponized tool of Islamic psychological warfare which is defeating Americas will to protect her national security. Any American who says Islam is less than perfect may become the victim of an unfair lawsuit by a moderate Muslim organization.
Why can one be so certain about this fact? The answer is the Koran. The Koran fuses together both moderates and their military. No Muslim dares to contradict the Koran because the penalty is — death and loss of personal salvation. The moderate Muslims of every nation, including those in America fully support their Islamic military because worldwide conquest is the primary religious duty of all Muslims. Fellow Americans if you believe that your local Muslims are not secretly harboring in their hearts an agenda for the conquest of America by Islam then you are dead wrong, and understand nothing about the Koran.
Moderate Muslims may not carry weapons and murder innocent people hands on, but they play the role of wolves in sheeps clothing. Moderate Muslims use two primary strategies to make conquest for Islam. The first is dawa, which is influence peddling, wining and dining and manipulation. You make conquest by pleasing your opponent, buttering them up — bribery and back room dealings are common place. There is a ton of Muslim oil money buying preferential treatment for Islam in America. The second is taqiyya, which is outright deception and lying. Deception and lying to infidels as a strategy of conquest is one of Islams most valued weapons, a precedent set by the prophet Mohammed himself. Americans hear this deception everyday with proclamations that Islam is a religion of peace. This phrase is an excellent example of successful psychological warfare which has caused Americans to let down their guard, and made us very vulnerable to future terrorist attacks, even possible nuclear attacks as several experts have pointed out.
Recent history proves that the so called peaceful Muslims work as a team with their Islamic Military. They immigrate to a country touting what peaceful law abiding citizens they are, establish themselves, build mosques, increase their numbers and bingo terrorists acts start occurring in the host country. Do the attacks in Spain, England, France, Thailand, Bali, the Philippines, Holland, Sweden and the USA ring any bells here? All these attacks have been preceded by the establishment of moderate mosque communities which in turn became footholds from which the Islamic military could launch their terrorist attacks. The larger the percentage of Muslims that occupy a country the greater the havoc they wreak. The situation is directly proportional. Reducing the percentage of Muslims that dwell in the host country is the most effect way of stopping terrorism. Western governments must evaluate this fact very seriously if they wish to win the war against Islamofascism long term.
Have we Americans become gullible fools? As long as we fail to deal aggressively and comprehensively with the intimate Koranic connection between the moderate Muslims and their Islamic military we can never stop the terrorist attacks. Have you ever wondered why, so numerous the complaints worldwide, that Muslims are not assimilating into their host nation? It is because they are not there to assimilate — they are there to conquer the host country for Islam as their Koran requires. Fellow Americans please read the Koran for your self. Dont take my word on it. You will learn first hand that anyone who tells you that Islam is a religion of peace is insulting your intelligence. The Penguin Classic edition, The Koran, translated by the Arab Scholar N. J. Dawood is a well respected version having sold over a million copies worldwide.
The best description of the symbiotic Koranic relationship between the moderates and their military comes from the Muslims themselves. They have a saying, the poisonous fish swim in the sea. The poisonous fish are the militants and the sea is the moderate mosque community. For example, for their 9/11 operation, the Islamic Military (poisonous fish) used the Al Farouq mosque in New York as the sea from which they swam to pulverize the trade towers. The next poisonous fish may be swimming from the sea of your local Mosque community with a nuclear explosion. Wake up Americans we are not fighting with bows and arrows anymore. We must take aggressive preventative measures to stop the Islamic militarys euphoric obsession to make a nuclear attack on American soil.
It is a great mistake to continue calling the Islamic military radicals because the term radicals has blinded us to think that the moderates are not in cahoots with their Islamic Military. In so doing we have violated the primary dictum of warfare which is to know and understand ones enemy. Consequently, we have failed to understand that the Islam of Osama Bin Laden is main stream Islam not a radical fringe. Osama Bin Laden is one of the generals of the Islamic military which is fully supported by the worldwide community of moderate Muslims, including American Muslims. Both moderate Muslims and their military have the same goal which is the Islamic conquest of the entire world — this is the primary religious duty of all Muslims as required by the Koran. Americans desperately need to understand this fact if they wish to protect their country from great harm.
Is not an implication, is the actual teachings of Islam, you disgusting, crawling worm of a sandal-licking apologist coward.
He needs to tell this to his commie pals who insist all Christians are guilty and need to apologize when a kook kills an abortionist or when they tell all whites to apologize for slavery in American history (while Muslims still enslave Africans).
Why can I see all sides (whether I agree or not) and yet liberals only see and hear the side they are on? I’ve tested liberals I know before, and they can not accurately express the conservative view on any issue. They can not go past slogans.
