Okay, Trish. So you’ve now gone from “what backlash did you see”, to openly supporting suspicion of all Muslims, because of the actions of a few. That makes sense. Listen, folks. You think the Muslims haven’t spoken out against terrorism? That’s only because you HAVEN’T LOOKED FOR IT! What do you expect them to do, pay for a superbowl commercial? Should they advertise on your lunatic right wing radio shows or websites? Since you can’t seem to find any, I’ll give you several that popped up on the FIRST PAGE of my Google search for “muslims against extremism” (which took all of 0.26 seconds):

http://www.islamfortoday.com/fundamnetalism.htm

http://www.freemuslims.org/

Google, by the way, found over 1 million results for that search. Look through all of those and then try telling me Muslims aren’t speaking out against terrorism and extremism.

The only reason I’ve ever seen the Crusades or Deuteronomy mentioned, is to demonstrate how easily one can misinterpret a religious text. It is meant to show you that your “interpretation” of the Quran could be wrong.

The fact of the matter is that terrorists only make up a very small percent of the Muslim population. Look it up, and not in a kook right wing book.

Precisely, Trish.

And for those morons who toss around the “Christian Atrocities” argument, simply remind them of this:

The atrocities committed by Christians were NOT following Christ’s teachings. By what bizarre stretch of the imagination does one go from “Love thy neighbor” to “torture people to death”? No, the atrocities committed by man in Christ’s name were decidedly NOT acting as Christians.

Alternately, Islam condones (and in many instances encourages) murder, genocide, torture, dismemberment, rape, child molestation, genital mutilation of women, oppression, spousal abuse, theft, and deceit. Numerous books have been published with translations from the Quran outlining these horrific “holy” edicts.

I have yet to see a single book that points to anything in the New Testament that even HINTS that any of these things are tolerated.

And then there’s the fun little argument I like to give the libtards: Well, if you’re okay with Islam, you must hate homosexuals! (Homosexuality is forbidden in Islam, punishable by DEATH. Any gay person or supporter that isn’t appalled by Islam is either ignorant, delusional, or suicidal.)

Your non-homicidal Muslim friends should be encouraged to join Christianity. I hear they have COOKIES!

TFMo, I agree entirely. The problem is, that Moslems do not denounce the behaviors in the most part, that we all know to be against ALL of our beliefs. I hear more discussion from Liberlas about the freakin Crusades, than I do about the last 40 years of Islamist terrorism. At the same time I am aware of perfectly peaceful Moslems who live here and want no harm done. However, I also have personal knowledge of those in this country who promote Islam in PRISONS, and it isn’t of the perfectly peaceful sort! Their intent is to become an Army, against us infidels. And they prey upon young (mostly) black men.
You and I can agree that if we continue to ignore that we have become a nation of wimps, we will be the few left standing in the after effects of political correctness!

That’s kind of the problem, Trish. At its core, Islam is an extremist religion. These terrorists are not some kook fringe; they ARE the mainstream Muslims. It’s the non-extremist Muslims who really don’t seek the deaths of all infidels that are the “kook fringe.”

Any religion that holds murder and genocide as a form of prayer MUST be viewed as dangerous. To do otherwise is the height of irresponsibility and, frankly, blatant stupidity. If a poisonous snake gets into my house, I’m not going to question its motives or attempt to negotiate with it or wait for PETA to come and mau-mau about it. I’m gonna kill the damn thing before it bites me or my wife or one of my kids.

I’m not suggesting the wholesale extermination of all who follow Islam, but neither will I allow myself to trust them. Trust must be EARNED, and as yet, I’ve seen nothing from the so-called Religion of Peace that has done so.

ISLAMIC JIHADISTS, not just your average American Muslims, are responsible for more than 9/11, and all of the attacks on this country, Spain, UK, among all of the other attacks that for years have been perpetrated by extremist ISLAMISTS. Why you claim Alabama to be so anti-Mulsim is beyond me, truly because I don’t live there so don’t know if it is stronghold of Muslims or not. But if a group of white Quakers had done the same acts, I suspect my local town of West Chester PA would be a greatly disturbed by a large population, and rightfully so. And polital correctness would not likey be applied to that group.
If Islam wants to prevent reactions like that, they could, yet still have not, come out in strong defiance of such behaviors. When they do, there will be deep respect for them in this country, as opposed to suspicion, that is justifed.

Yeah, that whole “convert/enslave/kill” order Muhammed gave his faithful when dealing with anyone outside of Islam was really, really vague. Lot of grey area when Muhammed married that NINE YEAR OLD and consummated with her when she turned TWELVE. And the Taqiyya, that little-known (outside of Islam) snippet that allows a Muslim to lie through his teeth, even to the point of denouncing Islam if it furthers the cause, boy, that’s a real head-scratcher. Heavens to Betsy, why WOULDN’T we trust them?

Trish,

What backlash did I see? Oh, I don’t know, every conservative I talked to complaining about evil Muslims. You see, I live in Alabama. Are you really telling me that you’ve never heard anyone try to blame all of Islam for terrorist attacks? Where have you been?

If you respect Muslims on the whole, why are you trying to call this a terrorist attack? What does that accomplish for you? Why is it so important that we draw that conclusion before any investigation into the matter is complete?

TFMo,

Those of you who have “learned quite a bit about Islam”? Right… Nothing like an outsider with an agenda “studying” religious texts, and taking them out of context to prove a predetermined point about the religion as a whole.
