A National Newspaper poll reveals that 53% questioned fear the Muslim religion as a threat. Do you?

Question

Ruth Kelly conceded today that the multi-culturist approach encouraged by the Left had "probably been a mistake" and may have contributed to the sense of alienation felt by many young Muslims.
This correspondent feels that "sense of alienation" is a slight misnomer for suicidal fanatics planning to blow to smithereens 4000+ people.
Does anyone, of any religion, have any ideas for solving what now looms as our biggest national problem? No jokes, please, this is serious.

Answer 1

Yes, it is already a threat not only to our safety but to our way of life. The Islamic fundamentalists threaten our lives and many of the peaceful Muslems who live in the UK often don't intergrate into society and demand special favours and take over whole communities.....can you imagine that being tolerated if it was the other way round?(Us going to one of their countries doing the same etc.) Would we be allowed to build large Christian churches in every major community throughout the middle east like they do with their mosques here. Would they (by law) have to be careful what they say and do in case it may offend? I respect people's chosen religion whatever it may be but it should be a personal thing not something foisted upon a Christian country which they choose to live in. There are many Muslims in Britain who don't respect our way of life... If they don't like our ways,can't keep their religion seperate from being a British citizen and don't want to adapt to the British way of life they should return to their own country.(when in Rome etc.) There is talk that many young Muslims feel isolated in the UK. How that is when there are so many of them is a mystery? If they need a voice ...Why don't they protest more against the fundamentalists who threaten the country they live in?

Answer 2

I have no idea, but I know it scares the s**t out of me. Also not just for myself but for my daughter family and the rest of the decent people on this planet. I have no beliefs in any faith, though I don't think it's the religions that are the problem it is man's need for power. I don't know much about all the religions though I would imagine that most at the heart of it would be for peace and respect of others, but it is human race interpretation of a specific religion that causes the heartache and murder. I use a word which I tell my young daughter is wrong I HATE terrorist's of any creed colour or gender. I believe we have a right to worship who you wish but not when it is turned around and used to bite you on the ***, then no way. No one should have the right to say it's either my way or the high way. Each person thinking their religion is right. Ban religion, but how and it would never work. Send each person back to their own country. That wouldn't work many dual nationalities. I just hope someone comes up with an answer soon before many more people are murdered

Answer 3

I see it as a threat because it is exclusive and invasive. I have realized this for about 25 after visiting Istanbul and learning how the Ottomans overthrew the Greeks and tried to take the rest of Europe. At that time I also saw how Islam had invaded India and caused the partition that created the Pakistans. I was reading about the trouble that the Soviets were experiencing in the Central Asia Republics, I read how the Hindu culture had been erased from Indonesia and how Muslims were stirring things up in Thailand.

Answer 4

Considering that 9/11, 7/7 and the latest bomb plot were all the work of Muslims claiming to be doing a "Jihad" on the West, I have to say that yes I do feel the religion is a threat.

If they are so alienated and can't integrate with us because we are all dirty "Kafhirs" and all that stuff than perhaps they should consider leaving the UK and going somewhere else to live? Like wherever their family originated from? God knows we aren't desperate to keep them here!

Especially when a survey claims that about 30% of British Muslims beleived it was justified for the 7/7 bombers to murder a bunch of British civillians because they disagree with their culture, religion or what their government does.

How can you reason with people like that? You can't! So how can they say their religion is peaceful!

Answer 5

I do not view any religion as a threat at all. The Muslims that I do fear are the fanatics. But you must remember that every religion has their fanatics, and the fanatics are the ones that give the entire religion a bad name.

Don't let the "fanatics" make your decision for you. Make up your own mind. For the most part, Muslim religion is one of the most peaceful. Right now we are focused on it due to what is going on. The press attention can make anything appear more serious than it really is. I remember when "shark attacks" were so much a part of the news. Suddenly you heard about every single person bitten by a shark. But yet the total for that year was less than in previous.

What am I saying? Anything under a magnifying glass looks bigger than it really is. And sometimes bigger is worse.

Answer 6

If the Baptist had a segment that bombed others the heirarchy of the Baptist would quickly enough denounce and toss out any who participated.

While the number participating in the violence of the zealot Muslims is small where is the denouncement from the supposidly peace loving majority of Muslims? Either they are scared silent in which case we should be scared also - or - they really agree with the radicals in which case we should be scared.

Answer 7

The reality is that a significant and well funded and motivated minority of Islamists want a world where there are no Christians, Jews or Atheists. They are to be exterminated. Sitting on the sidelines and not taking sides won't save your life, as the bombings in Spain and recent foiled attacks in the UK and Germany have shown. Its a terrible situation and many people are in denial.

Remember Kenneth Bigley's last words: "I just want to lead a simple life".

Don't we all?

Answer 8

I live on the east coast. We have whole apartment complexes
& factories that are total Muslim. Maybe one white guy.
The sucidial thing doesn't give me as much fear as the
financial ruin they can cause.

Don't even try to blame this on the left, I saw bush holding
hands with a Muslim. They're his friends.

Don't get me wrong, I don't hold a thing against good Muslims, I just don't think this is good time for them to move in.

Answer 9

Absolutely... They are a threat. Any religion that has the tenet of convert or die is a threat. Check out world wide trouble spots and see who is involved. The only reason the percentage wasn't higher is that most people aren't paying attention.

Answer 10

Can a good Muslim be a good American?

I forwarded that question to a friend that worked in Saudi Arabia for 20 years.

The following is his forwarded reply:

Theologically - no. Because his allegiance is to Allah, the moon God of Arabia.

Religiously - no. Because no other religion is accepted by his Allah except Islam (Qu ran, 2:256)

Scripturally - no. Because his allegiance is to the five pillars of Islam and the Qu ran (Koran).

Geographically - no. Because his allegiance is to Mecca, to which he turns in prayer five times a day.

Socially - no. Because his allegiance to Islam forbids him to make friends with Christians or Jews.

Politically - no. Because he must submit to the mullah (spiritual leaders), who teach annihilation of Israel and Destruction of America, the great Satan.

Domestically - no. Because he is instructed to marry four women and beat and scourge his wife when she disobeys him (Qu ran 4:34).

Intellectually - no. Because he cannot accept the American Constitution since it is based on Biblical principles and he believes the Bible to be corrupt.

Philosophically - no. Because Islam, Muhammad, and the Qu ran do not allow freedom of religion and expression. Democracy and Islam cannot co-exist. Every Muslim government is either dictatorial or autocratic.

Spiritually - no. Because when we declare "one nation under God," the Christian's God is loving and kind, while Allah is NEVER referred to as heavenly father, nor is he ever called love in The Quran's 99 excellent names.

Therefore after much study and deliberation....perhaps we should be very suspicious of ALL MUSLIMS in this country. They obviously cannot be both "good" Muslims and good Americans. Call it what you wish....it's still the truth.
