Do you hope that the “moderate” Moslems rise up and take back their religion that has been “hijacked”?

Question

Not all Germans agreed with Hitler but, many of those same people died during the initial bombing and the following invasion of Germany regardless.

There will come a time when we will have shrug off the chains of political correctness and fight a war the way war must be fought and many will die, both “radical” and “moderate” Moslems alike.

Or do you believe that Jihad and the subjugation of infidels are inherent to Islam and it is the teachings of Mohammad itself that drive the radicals?

Answer 1

I hope so, but

Although I know it is PC to believe in "moderate" Muslims, they only represent a small minority. The fanatics are a smaller minority, but the overwhelming majority are silent.
Thus, the majority give their tacit assent to the actions of their more belicose fellows.

Unless Islam turns on itself, and begins to police its violent fellows aggressively, they will face an increasingly fearful or resolved West.

And we are much better armed.


The cultures who hustle, win.

The Romans took over Italy then Europe by out working their foes. Groups of organized little Italian guys beat mobs of huge Gaulic and Teutonic barbarians

The folks who carved the US out of the North American wilderness, won by out-breeding and out-producing the native tribes.

The folks who out-worked and out-sacrificed the world during the Great Depression and World War II, won the best standard of living on Earth.

The folks who stood up to the Soviet USSR, spent more money, imagined SDI and won the Cold War.

If the West sits back and does nothing, it will lose its place to a culture that hustles, works hard, is better motivated whatever you want to call it.

Not because they are better, simply because they work harder. We can not simply ride on the coat tails of our ancestors. We have to continue to build for our decendents, or someone else will build for theirs.

Question: Do you know why the more intelligent fundamentalist Muslims support these terrorist activities?

Answer: They must have traveled to Europe, and seen the ominous sign of empty churches everywhere. Fewer and fewer people are interested in religion. Even in Catholic Ireland, they have had to import priests from Africa for the few remaining active churches.

The sad truth is, if you read the Koran, it explicitly states that you can wage war on the infidels, and that dying for Islam is noble. The Koran is full of massive inconsistencies; it was obviously written by semi-literate people, and just like the Bible has a New and Old Testament, the Koran has glaring contradictions.

At some point in history, some Muslims must have realized that their people had nothing to motivate them to work together to build a strong, defensible society. Hence, Islam was born, along with all the verses that explain how to subjugate infidels, to kill them, and to tax them. It was all about power, land, and money.

The trick to defeating the fundamentalist Muslims, the ones who have high jacked the huge majority of peaceful Muslims, is by increasing Western influence. Already, the youth of Iran don't want to sit through boring lectures about Islam. They want to party, dance, listen to Western music and movies, and have more open contact with the opposite sex.

Answer 3

I would prefer that moderate Americans would rise up and take back the political process that is destroying our country. The right-wingnuts and the leftie-wackos continue to run this country. We can't control what the Muslims do, but we can change America.

Vote out all encumbants. Vote for those who refuse to be bought and sold by the lobbyists.

Answer 4

The "religion of peace" has not been hijacked. There may be a few who are moderates, but since not a lot of them have risen up and protested I must come to the conclusion that most Muslims don't give a damn, and secretly wish that the whole world was an Islamic-Sharia law paradise. Sorry, but that is the only conclusion that I can come to.

Answer 5

They have been, but unfortunately, everyone doesn't listen.
They have been running anti-terrorism media campaigns for the past several years.
There was an article last month about a suicide bomber who survived(some how), after blowing up a truck he was in, asking a cleric that visited him if the war was sanctioned by Islam, and the Priest replied "no it was not."

As you already see with our own fringe groups, they hear only what they want to.

Answer 6

The RADICALS aren't in it for religion,they're in it for political reasons and wealth.
If they could control the whole middle east,the oil and the sea ports,they could strangle the west and get any concessions they desire.
We're talking a huge power block capable of dictating to the world.

Answer 7

Islam is Islam...thier holy book says they must kill all who oppose thier beliefs...so tell me whats moderate or radical about it ? And they believe they must make war to cause Allah to return faster to so call save them.......so with being taught that for all thier lives and are not allowed to question or believe anything else......what do you think they will continue doing ???? And in trying to question it or disagree with it or change ones belief means , DEATH !!! without question !!

Answer 8

You should mention somewhere that "moderate" Muslims are ten times more vicious than the most "extreme" Christian, or any other major religion.

Answer 9

It's gotten harder for people to be moderate but there's a coalition of moderate Muslim clerics. One of them was on Fox News the other day, to explain the peaceful mission of his group. The Fox host was very rude and cut him off several times..

Answer 10

Islam is based on violence there is no moderation in that type of behavior.
