yes and no, Islamism is NOT Islam to me too. I have had good Muslim friends and co-workers since young adulthood (1980). However, the `moderates' must speak up! Denouncing this selfish sect(s) of Islam. This can be compared to Christians having a selfish (and associated violence and hate) interpretation of the Bible, of which can be seen in neo-nazis, et al. We, in the West cannot just `let them be'.Quote:

More people remember that video than remember that 100,000 people in Tehran who gathered for a candlelight vigil in support of the US victims. And some things are so obvious we should know they are not supported by religious doctrine. No one has mentioned the religious affiliation of the recent school shooter. Would a Muslim want to live in the US, if he believed that people should be stoned to death for adultery? One thing you can do is to do some research for yourself. For example you could ask a question in Google and view the responses from knowledgeable scholars. When I did this, I found documentation for about everything thing good, I believed had to be true in the Koran. An important fact to understand, is that Sunni Islam does not have a centralized leadership, that could speak out publicly on issues, I'm told. Given the corporate ownership of US media, we need to be critical of the quality of news we receive, if we value a greater truth.Quote:

Especially those coming from the UK. Quite a bunch of zealots.
Not certain, exactly what you say others were defending. No one here has defended rape, that I remember. So it's has to be the Muslim youth part. Am I right?Quote:

So... If you grow red, white, & blue mold in the same petri dish, does that make you a "multiculturalist"?
Oh, kind of like the fool who said I pulled the link from a White supremacist website but turned out to be completely wrong?Quote:

Not only that, but so passive agressive. It's good that you deleted your posts because you were scared of the wrong reaction. Then you "advise" people not to reply.
What a coward you are, to put that on top of being wrong and unable to defend your disgusting arguments.
