  • We all hear people in possitions of power say "...the war on terror is not a war on islam". Problem is, it needs to be. Again, I will axe you all this, if islam disappeard from the planet at midnight, how much of the world's violence would go away instantly? 70%? 80%? Maybe more? Once you start to get an idea what the answer to that question is, you'll be even more pissed about the PC soft handed approach to dealing with jihadis.

    • O'Reilly states that according to actual events about 90% of the worlds terrorism is done by Jihadists, Islamic Radicals, Muslim Supremacists, and so on and so forth. So yes 90% of the world terrorism emanates from Islam and that will end if it disappeared overnight. In contrast. how much charitable causes (among other things) will end tomorrow if Christianity ups and disappears overnight?

      • That should be the answer then. There is no grey area, it is what it is.

        Keep in mind, when you hear that most muslims are peaceful & so on, that may be true. Hell, I know a few like that, but they don't matter. They don't matter because they cannot clean up their faith & drag it into the 21st century. They are still stuck in a time warp in many ways, & that conflicts with the rest of the world who left them behind a few hundred years ago.

        • What I find hilarious are the "Muslims" that live an extensive Western life, but when let's say a Father or a Mother or an older brother becomes truly religious, they realize that their lifestyle is essentially in great contrast to the Western way of life and therefore they have some choices: Accept that they are "moderate" or even "liberal" Muslims continue to live their lives as is but do nothing to seek the fundamental religion to be moderated or reform in of itself (basically help other Muslims come out of the Middle Ages), change their religion altogether (perhaps becoming Missionaries) or become fundamental Muslims which means regressing to the 13th century. If they choose to become fundamental Muslims, then their choices are: do and say nothing against those that actively and radically want to expand Islam or join the movement of Islamic expansion.

          In truth, and let's be truthful here true Islam does not make provisions for personal freedoms.

      • He's right and the world would be a pretty peaceful place without Muslim violence. It's just a fact.

  • This is insane. It makes sense but it is insane. Governments of the world don't want to deal with the violence of Islamists so they try to placate by saying that Islam is a great religion and there is no tie with it and terrorism. They may not want to admit it, but that is the truth. Fear of Muslims rising up and being violent which they have proved that they can do many times is what is causing this. It is ridiculous.

  • Okay, here's a tip for you. Just say, "Oh, did I say Islamists? I meant Tea Party members. My bad." All will be forgiven.
