From the Ottawa Citizen:
When the non-Muslim world says with clear conviction that Islam propagates extremism, Muslims all around the world, even the terrorists, cry foul and declare that they are maligning Islam.
But is there a loophole some where in this faith that can make a follower an extremist? How can the so-called religion of peace be twisted in such a way that it becomes a weapon of murder? This everyday carnage in the name of Islam has not been taken seriously by the Muslims, thinking this is a kind of protest against oppression.
I went to many mosques to hear the sermons provided by the clerics but was totally disappointed to note that there is no pragmatic approach to this serious issue. They still spread fear in the name of Islam and criminally keep the worshippers in the dark.
The so-called modern educated Muslims play a more vicious role than these illiterate mullahs, because they never touch the real issue, but bring logic to such dastardly and senseless attacks on innocent human beings.
I am appalled to see that, in my opinion, the majority of Muslims are not concerned about this crisis in their faith which they follow with such strong conviction.
A faith that does not value human lives is a cult.
The main problem with Islam is its reluctance to embrace reason and logic.
The entire paraphernalia of Islam is protected by the poisonous tentacles of immovable dogmas and ignorance. This dark side is supported by fear and the followers are innumerable. I don't see any escape route.

It is interesting that Brad Thor seems to consistently separate what he calls "fundamentalist Islam" and "Islamism" from a vast majority of peaceful Muslims in THE LAST PATRIOT.
This fellow that you cite, Akbar Hussain, seems to be manifesting a contriteness that bespeaks what René Girard would deem an epistemic characteristic of conversion away from the rote Scimitar way of Koranic thinking.
Athos,
It is interesting that Brad Thor seems to consistently separate what he calls "fundamentalist Islam" and "Islamism" from a vast majority of peaceful Muslims in THE LAST PATRIOT.
It could be that Thor is using artistic license, partly to avoid law suit. Or it could be that Thor believes in the distinction. BTW, I'm reading the book right now.
I note in the back of The Last Patriot that Thor consulted with Robert Spencer and Daniel Pipes.
Pastorius I couldn't have said it better myself. VERY well articulated! I am all but 100% positively certain that you have hit the nail on the head!
We all KNOW "moderate" Muslims do we not?
Islam has 1.2 bn "followers". The PROBLEM though is that the vast majority of those are poor, guillible, highly superstitious,
and likely illiterate.
That group simply believe and act on what their fanatical Immans (????) tell them in fear that Allah will punish them if they do not. (they are after all TOLD that repeatedly)
And no matter that an Immam here will provide different instruction from an Immam somewhere else. Such is Islam.
The Qur'an CAN be interpreted in ANY way one wants. And IS. (so can the Bible and the Torah come to that but in both cases MUCH less practiced apart from zany cults)
A recipe for total anarchy and
total POWER to the local Immam.
What the Hell? Allah may deprive them of alcohol, lust, and homosexuality in THIS world but will reward them with ALL those
vices in the next particularly if they become a martyr.
NOT allowed HERE and NOW but perfectly OK in the afterlife?
Is that logical?
NOT in my book.
One of the 7/7 bombers in London referred to "My People". And HE claimed to be British. Clearly NOT
even though born and educated in the UK of Great Britain. HE spurned THAT once sought after status and aligned himself with an illogical and totally chaotic "ummah". An "ummah" which kills other members.
He was supposed to be educated but he TOTALLY ignored that "my people" were actually killing one another on CULT grounds. HArdly a true Ummah then.
The more educated Muslims, inluding graduates, MAY just be more questioning (although questionng, like criticism, is TOTALLY forbidden by the Qur'an and it IS the "unalterable" word of God as transmitted via his "apostle" Mohammed. No matter that there IS scientific and archeological evidence that the "word" HAS been substantially altered over time).
The REAL problem is that the "educated, moderate, thinking" Muslims WILL RAPIDLY cave in to their barbarous "brothers" if threatened.
HOW exactly could they resist without being killed? THEY, like anyone, WILL take the route which
guarantees their own and their family's safety. HUMAN NATURE and the instinct for self preservation.
Logically, and sadly, that MUST mean that ALL Muslims must be driven out from Western lands because they simply can not be trusted and there is NO way of sifting the good from the bad.
I do not LIKE reaching that conclusion but I KNOW that it IS the only solution to the threat. It is IMPOSSIBLE to debate the Qur'an because it IS perceived as "the unalterable word of the only God". I have read very articulate and academic debates on this very matter.
And this "word" from a "merciful" God DOES promote the murder of "infidels" and "kuffar" and the enslavement of those not murdered. Plus of course the rape of infidel
women, the practice of paedophilia, the taxing of those refusing to convert to Islam, the seizing of their possessions,the lying to "infidels" to gain advantage for Islam and MUCH else.
It is forbidden by the Qur'an to kill the "innocent"
Muslims though FAIL to tell you (lying is allowed) that only Muslims can be "innocent".
The rest are NOT innocent by definition but they fail to tell you that. But the Qur'an DOES say that.
There are UMPTEEN videos and reports of Immams proclaiming that the objective of Islam is to overthrow the world and that ONE way of achieving that is to "bleed" the unbeliever.
And O how do they do that. Welfare benefits, constant litigation and so on. The objective is to weaken the opposition in ALL ways. Fatuous objections to any actions of "kuffar" which "offends".
Such as the objection to a poster issued by Police in Tayside Scotland which featured a puppy Police dog.
I'd bet my shirt that the Muslim shopkeepers who objected actually SELL alcohol and bacon which are even MORE offensive to Muslims but "money talks"
I'm still awaiting a response from the Chief Constable to my complaint which I have expressed
as a "racially offensive" action by Muslims. I await the "knock on the door" from British Police who will no doubt charge ME rather than the Muslims.
The sword IS a last resort but it IS a resort propounded by the Qur'an to "kill or convert"
Time for action methinks and I sense that the Belgians, the Danish, the Swedish, the Germans, the French,the Finlanders, the Greeks, the Spanish and even Greenlanders are ALL reaching the same conclusion. The Swiss ARE taking action already. May it continue!
