US Muslims struggle with how they should condemn extremism

NEW YORK (AP) -- By now, the tableau has become tragically familiar: American Muslims standing before a bank of cameras, condemning an attack linked to Islamic extremism.

After the San Bernardino, California, rampage, the local chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations didn't even wait for law enforcement to announce a motive. Just hours after the husband-and-wife shooters were identified as Muslim on Wednesday, the civil rights group held a news conference with the perpetrators' brother-in-law, Farhan Khan.

All it says to me that when Muslims murder, other Muslims are more concerned about possible criticism of Islam than about the murder.

THe fact that they struggle with the concept indicates how incompatible Islam is with Civilization.

If you’re struggling you’re part of the problem. Like Obama.

The left hates Western Civilization and all of its culture, morals and values.

THe left is the product of academia.

What’s to struggle with?

As GWB said....

You are for us or against us....

I have not heard or seen any Moslems contacting the FBI / Police to turn in their fellow adherents of Islam who might be a threat...

And why does the Left hate Christians and Christianity? It hates the idea of people believing in a higher authority than government. Liberals want to control you, and they use the government to do it.

US Muslims struggle with how they should condemn extremism

By renouncing Islam, eating pork and denouncing the so-called prophet Mohammed as the thieving, murderous, slave holding, sadistic, pedophilic psychopath that he was.

He makes Charlie Manson look like an angel by comparison.

It’s not too hard. If you’re hanging out at the local mosque and Abdul comes over and asks you if you want to kill a few hundred people, perhaps instead of politely saying no, you also let the FBI know what Abdul wants to do.

That’s how it works in Christian churches, Jewish Synagogues, and all other houses of worship. And it’s not very hard to do.

They struggle because its hard to pretend to care about infidels/Christians getting gunned down.

“WWMS”? - What would Mohammed say?

We all know the answer to that. Pretending otherwise is
just a delaying tactic.

That is because their cult program tells them they will die if they do not follow the evil program. Every muslim should be ask why he or she came here in the first place if their cult is so peace loving.

There should be no struggle at all. If you are a peaceful Muslim, immediately swear an oath of allegiance to the United States, vociferously decry the actions of the terrorists and radicals, learn English, obey our laws and swear in writing that you will face immediate expulsion from our nation if it’s ever found that you consort in any way with radicals.

Otherwise, face immediate expulsion.

Maybe to start with, NOT struggle.

IOW it would be more effective, if it wasn’t such a “struggle.”

Islam is completely incompatible with Western Civilization.

Totally agree with your post. The key word is struggle. If they have to "struggle" with liberty, freedom and the greatest country ever devised by the mind of man then they shouldn't be here. Sharia will never be compatible with the US Constitution and our Judeo/Christian society. If they live in the United States they should convert to Christianity or Judaism or leave the country. They will never fit it and are determined to destroy, so quit struggling and Leave Now!

The problem with non-extremist Muslims is the following imo. Many non-extremist Muslims will probably let themselves be bullied by the extremist Muslims, the non-extremists willing to be pawns for the extremists.
