When the leaders of the Moslem world come out and condemn the fanatics, suicide bombers and terrorists . . .Leaders? I will be impressed when more rank-and-file Muslims speak out against the fanatics, suicide bombers, and terrorists. I notice that none of the letters condemning Auth that bear Muslim-sounding names also condemn the terrorists.
If Islam were truly a religion of peace, rank-and-file Muslims would be most outraged at the terrorists for besmirching the honor and peaceable reputation of Muhammad and the Koran.

Jim, if Muslims were to seize control of this country (yes, I know, far-fetched but let's just assume for the sake of argument) those supposedly "peace-loving" Muslims living next door to you for the past 15 years would suddenly be confronted with the choice of joining the American Patriot underground to fight the Muslim terrorists and regain our country, or join the Muslim terrorists and assist them in executing you and your family in the street in front of your house.
Now if you think for even one microsecond that any so called "peace-loving" Muslim in this country wouldn't pull the trigger you are sadly mistaken. Islam is the enemy. This war is just beginning. It may last for hundreds or thousands of years if we are lucky enough to survive that long. It may last forever which mean eternal vigilance against the religion of "peace".

"Germany was a threat to civilization because Nazis and their ideology took over German society while the majority of Germans (the "good Germans") either supported Nazi ideals or did nothing. Russia was a threat to civilization because Communists took over the country, and the great majority of Russians either supported Papa Stalin or did nothing. Some Islamic societies are today becoming a threat to civilization because Islamic totalitarians and terrorists are taking over those societies while a majority of Muslims either support their ideals or do nothing."

Well, had a cartoon been created about Christians or Jews...
I remember the uproar when a NYC museum showed a work of 'art' that had Jesus covered in dung.

ROTFL! Yep, and their response shows just how tolerant they are. NOT! Indeed, it proves the validity of the cartoon. The truth is painfully intolerable to them, kinda like it is to the Rats.
To: Fintan
I find Islam deeply offensive.

I would agree that radical Islam is 'fringe,' however the fringe is taking over the rest of the garment, and the garment isn't resisting one bit.

I might get flamed for this, but I believe the pupblication of this cartoon is wrong (key word: publication). We wouldn't want something this offensive printed about Christianity or Judaism, would we? No, because it lumps the radicals in with the moderates (even though there aren't realy any moderates in islam any more).
On the other hand, the cartoon is totally correct. Most muslims are wackos, and violent wackos that that. There are only a few left who are sane, like my friend Hena. The others, like her father, are psycho.
To: Fintan
I'd say his cartoon was extremely accurate in protraying the cult of Islam which masquerades as a legitimate religion.

These people don't have a clue. They declare a jihad and expect no blowback. As for the PCers among us infidels, check out the GOVERNMENT PRODUCED racism in WW II. This is what happens when people declare war on us:

I'm no fan of Islam but we shouldn't condemn an entire religion for the faults of the fanatics. I guess it is okay that they can condemn every other religion.(infidels=non-Muslim)

But whenever I hear "moderate Muslims" bring up lots of moral equivalency arguments as
caveats to their "condeming terrorism" spiels...
well, I guess I'm just become an intolerant type since 9-11.
Mostly by listening to moderate Muslims on talk radio here in...Los Angeles.

Its plain to see that the cult of Islam is full of nutcase extremists,
then again, by reading the replies on this thread, its plain that all cults have their extremists.

I thought it was true, and funny.

They don't riot until they have a majority, or at least a plurality. In due time my pretty...
To: JimVT
The ENTIRE religion IS fanatics. That's why the "moderates" in Islam don't speak out against the "fanatics". There are no moderates. Just quiet fanatics.
To: LoneRangerMassachusetts; JimVT
The lack of outrage within Islam over their fundamentalists lack of human rights speaks for Muslim's intolerance all by itself. The cartoon accurately reflects this realility. Bingo. The Catholic Crusades have been condemned by Catholics; the Christians' burning witches have been condemned by Christians; why are not the Muslim terrorists acts being condemned by Muslims?
