The stuff you are posting from is anti-semitic. Against ARABS, not Jews. It's really transparent. Look at what D'Souza wrote. Read the whole article. It details how Gallup surveyed Muslims in 35 countries and the answers they gave do not at all jive with anything you've posted about Muslims.
Read the link. It is a right wing conservative (D'Souza) saying the results of the Gallup polls are a huge embarrassment o some conservatives who, based on no data and very little familiarity with the Muslim world, have been portraying Muslims as violent theocrats who reject modern science, modern democracy and modern capitalism and spend most of their day performing honor killings and genital mutilations. This portrait of the Muslim world is about as accurate as that of a Muslim who believes that typical Americans live their daily lives according to the values of "Natural Born Killers" and "Brokeback Mountain." The bold part is verbatim what D'Souza (conservative) wrote.
Yeah..Denny, Brother, I got that..this is what she is referencing from what I can tell.. Who Speaks for Islam, written by John Esposito and Dalia Mogahed, is one of the most important books on the War on Terror. In the seven years since 9/11, we have been subjected to all kinds of ignorant pontification--much of it from the left, but some also from the right--on "why they hate us." This book, written by a leading scholar of Islam and the head of the Gallup Center for Muslim Studies, brings a wealth of real data to bear on this important subject I dont know this book..but, hell, Rush Limbaugh has books that get as much heat..huh..
D'Souza is a he. Dinesh D'Souza (Konkani: दिनेश डिसूज़ा; born April 25, 1961) is a political commentator, author, former Reagan policy analyst, and a former president of King's College.[2] He was Robert and Karen Rishwain Research Fellow at the Hoover Institution at Stanford University.[3] D'Souza is a prominent voice in American politics and has been affiliated with a number of conservative organizations and publications, including the American Enterprise Institute, Heritage Foundation, Hoover Institution, and Policy Review.[4] He also served as a policy advisor to President Ronald Reagan.[5][6] D'Souza is the author of numerous New York Times best-selling books.[7] He has written on Christian apologetics, including What's So Great About Christianity and Life After Death: The Evidence. D'Souza is also a notable critic of New Atheism.[8][9][10][11] In 2012, D'Souza released 2016: Obama's America, a film based on his 2010 book The Roots of Obama's Rage, both of which posit that Barack Obama's attitude toward America derives from his father's anti-colonialism and from a psychological desire to fulfill his father's dream of diminishing the power of Western imperial states. Critics have said the film is presented in a "conspiratorial tone" and contains speculation and projection.[12][13] The film has been the highest grossing conservative political film produced in the United States.[14] (The roots of rage book and the film were all the rage in the Sean Hannity fan club circles).
ohh, so history is not predictive of future behavior...so all the bombings and acts of terror end when? The modern world breaths a sigh of relief...
Limbaugh was hawking D'Souza's books and movies: http://www.rushlimbaugh.com/daily/2...obama_s_america_and_expendables_2_is_good_too
It matters not what "most" Muslims believe. It does matter what they do, what they export. Seven of the 10 worst terrorist attacks in recent history have been brought to us by the Muslims. Every act has backup in the Koran, the book of Islam. The only Muslim to help find Ben Laden has been jailed for his treason.
Full circle to Hoojack's question. WHY are a teeny fraction of the 1.2B muslims performing terrorist acts? (A tiny fraction of christians do, too). And my question: Who ever expects the spanish inquisition? You do know about the inquisition, right?
He persuaded very few to follow him. Muslims were our allies in Afghanistan. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northern_Alliance The Afghan Northern Alliance, officially known as the United Islamic Front for the Salvation of Afghanistan ... After the attacks of September 11 in the United States in 2001, the United Front succeeded in retaking Kabul from the Taliban with air support from US-led forces during Operation Enduring Freedom.
Careful, Wiki is full of hate speech http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islamic_terrorism I have answered both questions already, but above are a few reasons why the inquisition was an isolated event that would not be permitted to occur in modern times..but direct to your question, Only leaders corrupt and pervert religion for their own uses, So they would be the "who". I dont see religion being allowed to possess such power in the western world.
1.2 BILLION Muslims. Here's the size of Al Qaeda's army: Looks like a few thousand. Out of 1.2 BILLION.
Isolated event? Are you kidding? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim_Jones - along the same lines as your Islamic Terrorism wiki page. About the same number of participants, too.
Did you read the old testament? How many battles where the victors pillaged and raped and even committed genocide (killed everyone)? Do Christians kill adulterers as the bible says they should?
Oh my! I guess that would be a no. The old testament in not the teachings of Jesus and Christianity. That is a portion of the Jewish Talmud include in the cannons creating the Bible. Probably written by Rabbis down through the ages of Hebrew history. Some from the point of view of Judah and some by Israel Rabbis. Included in the Bible I suppose as the history of the Hebrews as a back drop to the origin of Christianity. Same God but New messenger and message in Jesus. No I don't think Christians do kill adulterers but I am the interloper here I shall let a true Christian answer your question. However, killing anyone for breaking Commandments is not specified by any teachings of Jesus that I can remember. Quite the opposite, "Vengeance is mine say the Lord" "Let them who is without sin cast the first stone". These come to mine as the teaching of Jesus. You really should read the Koran, the teachings of Muhammad are striking in comparison to the teaching of Jesus. Or Budda for that matter and Krishna too. Nothing like it in scripture any where. Now that you mention it, I don't think Moses specified any punishments for breaking any of the 10 Commandments. Some Rabbi may have invented a few.
So to summarize, all Muslims are bad. Actually evil. They all want to strap bombs to their bodies and blow up Christians. None of them have ever done a good deed, an act of kindness, to do such things would go against the teachings in the Koran. We should kill all of them before they kill all of us. /CloseThread
