Islam means peace.To a Muslim, this is a definition of "peace", not islam. To a Muslim, there can be no peace ourside of Islam.

"last spring Tantawi called suicide bombing "the highest form of Jihad operations," and added that "every martyrdom operation against any Israeli, including children, women, and teenagers, is a legitimate act according to [Islamic] religious law, and an Islamic commandment." Tantawi is no isolated crank. He holds his position at Al-Azhar by the grace of the Egyptian government, and he uses that position to wield enormous influence in the Islamic world"

The Egyptian government is just like the Saudi government they tell us that they support us, but behind our back they support the terrorists. When we catch them, they play good cop bad cop with us. They say their people are full of radical elements, and they need to amuse them to keep holding power, otherwise, a more radical Islamic government would take over! We give Egypt $2 billions per year, and we get no respect, they farm grow Jihadists, and export them here! What a deal!

May have to "Ask the Imam" about this.

Islam has an image problem

My nomination for the understatement of the day.

[illumini]

Islam is not peace, but "a" piece....

On its website CAIR says that it was established in order to "promote a positive image of Islam and Muslims in America," and declares that "we believe misrepresentations of Islam are most often the result of ignorance on the part of non-Muslims and reluctance on the part of Muslims to articulate their case."


Riiiight
CAIR continues to misrepresent Muslim scholar
“Cut and paste” tactics divisive for American Muslim Community

For Immediate Release – 4/4/2000

(Washington, DC) – In a recent press statement released by CAIR (“American Muslim Media Watch” – 3/30/2000), the organization once again misrepresented statements of Islamic scholar, Shaykh Muhammad Hisham Kabbani.

In their excerpted version of Gary Rosenblatt’s, “Monitoring the Muslim Threat,” CAIR’s selective edits of the article juxtapose Shaykh Kabbani with those whom CAIR consistently vilifies as enemies of Islam. Moreover, it seems the advocacy organization would like to re-ignite last year’s fury over statements made at the State Department in January 1999.

“By the use of their editorial tactics, CAIR enhances divisiveness within the American Muslim community once again, as they quote statements out of context,” said ISCA Vice President, Mateen Siddiqui. “The quote about extremism has been explained in detail in formal responses, press statements and public statements, yet CAIR refuses to clarify Shaykh Kabbani’s statement; rather, they continue to misrepresent him in more subtle ways now.”

Last year, in a State Department Open Forum on the topic of extremism, Shaykh Kabbani was quoted as saying that “the methodology or ideology of extremists has been spread to 80% of the Muslim population, but not all of them agree with it.” While he said this in the context of the population being exposed to this ideology, he continuously reiterated that the majority of Muslims are peace-loving and tolerant. Due to CAIR’s releases on this subject over one year ago, much confusion and furor resulted.

ISCA calls on CAIR to be more discretionary when excerpting articles out of context, lest they continue to create more confusion within the American Muslim community. We take this opportunity to remind CAIR that they represent themselves and their members, not the entire American Muslim community.

......Muslim spokesmen claim, and this bigotry gives rise to acts of violence against Muslims......

Just where is all this violence against Muslims happening?
It seems that I keep hearing about Muslim violence against Jews, Christians, and others.........

I am beginning to believe that Islam has two definitions of the word Violence

And they both hate Christians and America!

[Abar]

'islam' the so-called religion the hate-America-first perverted left tries to equate with Christianity and Judaism, (they're so fond of saying it has 1.4 BILLION adherents, as if quantity = legitamacy) is nothing more than a Satanic cult of death whose primary targets are Jews, Christians, and the West.

NO MUSLIMS, NO TERROR.

[mil-vet]

And they both [muslims and liberals] hate Christians and America!

Roger THAT! It's sad how simple it really is, isn't it?

[mil-vet]

....they're so fond of saying it has 1.4 BILLION adherents, as if quantity = legitamacy....

EXCELLENT point! Like saying "Eat manure; 500 million flies can't be wrong!" - LOL!

[Marysecretary]

Yes, it is. The hatred is really demonic. satan always tries to divide and conquer and this is one of his subtle ways of doing it. America's in deep doo.
