Bobby Jindal: Muslims Must Admit 'Islam Has a Problem' 15 Jan 2015 By Cathy Burke
Muslim leaders must publicly condemn jihadist terror attacks like the deadly strikes in France and concede "Islam has a problem," Louisiana Republican Gov. Bobby Jindal says.
"If Islam does not support what is happening in the name of Islam, then they need to stand up and stop it," Jindal declares in a speech he'll give Monday in London, the Daily Caller reports.
"Many Islamic leaders argue that these are the acts of a radical few."
But, Jindal's speech at the Henry Jackson Society will argue, "Let’s be honest here, Islam has a problem." Special: Drugstore Drink Stops Migraines in 5 Minutes "I will warn you in advance that I’m going to say some things that are not politically correct, so brace yourselves," he will say, the Daily Caller reports.
"To be clear, I have no interest in defaming any religion, nor do I have any interest in assigning the maniacal acts of radical Islamists to millions of Muslims worldwide. I’m interested only in dealing with reality and facts.

What difference does it make if they say it, since it isn't true? By talking about "radical Islam", as if there is another kind Jindal is just practicing different sort of political correctness. There may be moderate Muslims, that is people born into Islam who only superficially pretend to believe in it, but there is no moderate version of Islam. It is what it always has been, an ideology of conquest and enslavement.
The koran requires violence on behalf of the child rapist mohammed to spread itself. Failing to support the murder innocents on behalf of the “religion” makes you an apostate liable to be killed yourself.
Eventually, such a conquering force will conquer or be conquered. There is no middle ground.
If you’re a Muslim, you follow the Koran. That’s that.
Islam IS the problem.
No, Gov'nor ... Islam IS a problem.
We can differ with the difference between them ‘having’ a problem or ‘being’ a problem. At least he’s confronting them, and not kowtowing like the left and the loser-half of our party.
Yes, Bobby, yes...but since their ‘holy book’ and subsequent (highly=revered) teachings all tell Islamics to subjugate or kill infidels....
just a few Moslems admitting it may be a ‘problem’
is not going to cure it... it is incapable of self-cure from within...no Moslem can succeed telling his comrades to disobey their ‘god’
(the only cure is to eliminate it)
Islam does have a problem...
Americans won’t submit!!!
Had a real strange conversation couple of years ago with a young muslim who seemed intent on converting me.
I told him about the Israeli family who was slaughtered by terrorists who even stabbed to death the babies in the crib and how the Palestinians passed out candy in the street in celebration. When I told him I could never support a culture so depraved that they wouldn't condemn such a monstrous crime, he went on a tirade about "our women" being raped; the kid is Pakistani so it was obvious I was dealing with a closed mind.
Followers of Mohammed not only claim, but truly believe that God has authorized them to kill those who refuse to submit to their version of God’s will. That is a basic tenet of that religion. A claim which goes unchallanged. While it’s understandable for atheists which most socialists are, not to approach that claim on a theological basis. It’s bewildering why any Christian clergy refuse to admit it even exists and is a basic part of Islam creed and worse yet are unable to condem it.
The Koran and its enforcement of sharia law is a pseudo religious concoction using monotheistic selected texts taken and misconstrued from the new and old testaments. Both of which cite the Almighty has granted free will to accept or obey his laws and is the final judge not man. Sodom and Gahmora is a glaring example.
Yet followers of Mohammed under the severest of penalties are forbidden to read either which would refute that assertion in a creed which institutionalizes disgusting arab tribal views, observances,and customs. Claiming adhearants are authorized by our Creator to demand submission to it or suffer an ignominious death administered by followers of Islam.

Muslims think WE are the ones with the problem.
Conversely, inaction will be viewed as acceptance of violence performed in the name of Islam.
Bravo, Bobby Jindal. Let's make them prove the "Religion of Peace" label.
Agreed, but for a politician this is a major step up to the plate. Most of our 'leaders' in Washington (or our Governors) will just attribute this war to 'lone wolves' or workplace violence.
Sure, we'd like a political leader to say that islam is a Satanic religion that is dedicated to bring misery to the world - as dictated by the Koran - but that isn't going to happen and I'll take baby step comments.
An odd thing to go off on, since they generally blame and punish the woman who is raped. That always baffled me, until I read The Afghan Campaign, by Stephen Pressfield, who explained well. In their culture women are the property of their male relatives. It is the duty of those relatives to ensure they remain pure. If a woman is raped, then the male family members failed in that duty, which brings shame on them all. If however she was to blame, it's not their fault, and as long as they punish (kill) her, they have done their duty, and gotten rid of an inconvenient reminder that maybe they didn't. No shame. Utterly barbaric, but it makes sense in a warped way. It actually goes back thousands of years, way before Islam, but Sharia codified it, and prescribes it for everyone.
WHY MUSLIMS ARE VIOLENT
This is pretty straight forward folks. There are peaceful Muslims, but there is no such thing as peaceful Islam. Violence is not an aberration in Islam—it is DOCTRINE. Dozens of passages in the Quran exhort Muslims to hate or kill or terrorize infidels (non-Muslims) wherever they find them. For examples, see Suras 2:190-193, 2:216, 2:244, 3:56, 3:142, 3:151, 4:56, 4:74 (beheading), 4:76, 4:84, 4:89, 4:91, 4:95, 4:104, 5:51, 5:32-38, 7:96-99, 8:12-15 (beheading), 8:39, 8:57-60, 8:65-67, 9:5, 9:14, 9:20-30, 9:38-41, 9:73, 9:88, 9:111, 9:123, 17:16, 18:65-81, 21:44, 22:18-22, 25:52, 33:60-62, 47:3-4 (beheading), 47:35, 48:16-17, 48:29, 61:4, and 66:8-12. These are the passages that jihadists quote in defense of their horrible atrocities. Unlike the Old Testament, violence in the Quran is mostly open-ended, that is, not restrained by the historical context of the surrounding events.
While there are passages that Muslims point to that might suggest peaceful solutions (Suras 2:190, 2:256, 5:8, 5:28, 5:32, 8:61, 29:46, 41:34, 109:6), these are overwhelmed by the violent ones. Indeed, the peaceful passages were abrogated, i.e. superseded, by the violent ones—because the violent ones were written later, after Muhammad’s move to Medina (from Mecca). Anyone who wants to commit acts of violence has perfect justification for doing so from the Quran. There is nothing in the Quran comparable to Jesus’ teachings to “turn the other cheek” and to “love your neighbor.”
You can look these passages up for yourself. Below is a site that has three translations of the Quran side-by-side. (Note: English translators of the Quran sometimes try to soften the true Arabic meaning of some of these passages. For example, to “fight” really means to kill in Arabic.)

In addition to the Quran are the hadiths. These are collections of sayings and actions of Muhammad. Indeed, Muhammad was one of the most violent men in history, setting the example for all Muslims to follow. See this link:
