A prominent and controversial Jordanian writer, who was on trial for sharing a cartoon deemed offensive to Islam, has been shot dead outside the court in Amman where he was due to appear. *snip*

Having been arrested in August, the Christian writer was released on bail in early September. On Sunday, he was shot in the head three times as he arrived for a hearing.

No motive imaginable, I presume.

I heard George W Bush say that Islam was a religion of peace. SO THERE.

moslems have Jewish-phobia and Christian-phobia and absolute hatred of anything non-moslem. Jews and Christians have been patient but appears moslems will never be cured.

The decent Muslims live in fear of the devout Muslims. If only the opposite were true...

[rockinqsranch]

If the Koran is considered the Bible of Islam as I’ve read multiple times from multiple sources then there is no reforming Islam. It is an ideology from the mind of a sick, demented con man.

We have our own sick, demented cons in the Clintons, and their sycophants to defeat as well.

Right after 9-11. Me too. That’s when I lost all trust in him.

Iron Curtain around all of Islam.

[TigerClaws]

This is why American leftist comedians go after Christianity constantly and stay away from Islam.

They know they’d be murdered in the street for doing similar jokes.

[wastoute]

Rationally, that is the conclusion that is inevitable. How long it takes Western leaders to realize that does not matter.

Muzzie "justice"...it's here in the form of yearly monthly weekly daily terrorist attacks.

Reform comes after fanatical regimes or movements are absolutely decimated, kind of like the Japanese and Germans in WWII.

The only way the Muslims will become passive, peace-loving peoples is after some very nasty event forces them to rethink and rebuild...this is the way it has always been.

We are witnessing a great clash of civilizations here.

It goes way far back from that even. This is Gen 6 seed war enmity. Time to bruise our heels on their heads!

Decimate means “to reduce by 1/10”. It’s going to take far more than that, I’m afraid. Far, far more.

Our FIRST Muslim President, Hussein Obama, is surely offended by your thoughts

Hussein has talked about the great religion of Islam. Straighten up and respect the Koran or else you will get a visit too.

There certainly are many good and decent Muslims. Maybe most are good and decent...It it up to them to reform Islam. But how could they do that? I am at a loss here.

Maybe for the same reason that most non-muslims don't take up arms against muslims, or even criticize it.

We will find,
Sooner or later,

Decimate means “to reduce by 1/10”. It’s going to take far more than that, I’m afraid. Far, far more.

That was the original definition, modern usage is to reduce to 1/10^th.

I'm fairly certain even that may not be enough.

Islam has deadly “PC on Speed”... liberal elites are jealous...
