Isn't it about time we rose up and started getting rid of all the loonys in this world who threaten our way of life and our beliefs with their insidious discrimination against people of different beliefs. What we need is some national social organisation that will start monitoring these peoples activities. If they suspect an area of extremism they can paint in white the islamic crescent on their walls. They come over here and exploit our resources and get rich.

Terrorists don't get fresh legs from atheists or other faiths: they radicalise existing muslims. If the moderate muslims were more vigilant and more vocally opposed to extremism then it would be much harder for anybody to turn them into terrorists. Moderate muslims provide cover, bodies, and a veneer of legitimacy for the extremists, and if they stopped doing that then the extremism would be severely hindered.<BR/><BR/>That's what I think, anyway.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6109581212220604045.post-30070408487433233712008-04-17T18:27:00.000-07:002008-04-17T18:27:00.000-07:00^which raises an important philosophical question....^which raises an important philosophical question... <EM>how</EM> will the non-violent liberal and moderate Muslims ever manage to win out over the militant fanatics given that the <EM>latter</EM> are the ones with the guns and bombs and no moral qualms whatever about using them, while all the non-crazies are willing or able to do is occasionally make some subdued and bashful noises about how the terrorists aren't "real" Muslims?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6109581212220604045.post-67525218831372272432008-04-17T09:27:00.000-07:002008-04-17T09:27:00.000-07:00Well, there are these guys:http://www.freemuslims....Well, there are these guys:<BR/><BR/>http://www.freemuslims.org/<BR/><BR/>http://www.islamagainstterrorism.com/index_english.htm<BR/><BR/>http://www.rayhawk.com/classics/matusa/home.htmlTommykeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14751182125861177379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6109581212220604045.post-35988299445049166872008-04-17T07:41:00.000-07:002008-04-17T07:41:00.000-07:00They get so easily offended whenever they think an...They get so easily offended whenever they think anyone is blaspheming their religion... but if Islam is a religion of peace, isn't waging war in its name the absolute <EM>worst</EM> form of blasphemy?<BR/><BR/>And yet, they care a heck of a lot more about <EM>our</EM> reactions to these acts than the acts themselves.

If you don't denounce extremism when appropriate, you are supporting it whether you condone it or not.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
