    Good substantive post. Nevertheless, the cancer is spreading, and it feeds off the text of the Quran and Islamic dogma generally. Rather like the blood supply feeds a human cancer.

    In the past military jihads were stopped immediately when it became clear that they could not succeed. This was often a very ugly process. See Sabatini's unusually detailed account of the US war with the Barbary pirates for an example of how surprised, slow, and awkward the West can be when confronted by Islamic aggression.

    If there is an easy way out of this I do not see it.

    Well, considering 1/3rd of Muslims either are indifferent to or support conservative Sharia.

    What does that mean? That all of those are for a strict interpretation of it? Or that like every other religion there are folks who are into it to varying degrees?

    No religious law in the US supersedes the Constitution.

    Not in Europe. The 2nd generation Muslims are becoming more extreme than the 1st. And this n=1 example of a Muslim listening to music is a weak argument for "young Muslims are more Westernized than ever." That's just your confirmation bias.

    I never said every Muslim is going to cut off heads. Strawman.

    If they are true Muslims then they do believe that. In Islamic theology they believe the Qur'an was never written, and has existed with God for all time, delivered line by line to Muhammad. They have absolutely NO justification within their ideology to ignore certain scriptures, as one is as equally valid as the next. Of course, that's weakened somewhat by the inconsistency in Islam, where certain verses are abrogated by others, but that's better left for a different discussion.

    Reductio ad absurdum. It's interesting that you would try and explain away what's happening in Europe with regards to rape, though.

    There are varying degrees of adherence in every belief system. That really has no bearing on what Islam commands, though. The history of the religion is brutal, and that brutality continues to this very day. What's new is that apologists try and make excuses for it. I doubt that ever happened before. We can thank Karl Marx's ideology for that one.

    It's hilarious how impressed you seem with these weak arguments you are presenting. Maybe this kind of braggadocio will impress onlookers, though. Keep on grandstanding :)

    Who says there is? Double digit percentages of Muslims around the world agree in part with the ideology practiced by ISIS and other groups, and that's just the ones willing to admit to it. The better question is, how can all these millions of Muslims around the world come to misunderstand their own religion to this level? How can Western liberal atheists know more about Islam than actual Muslims living in Islamic societies?

    Because there are varying degrees of adherence in every belief system. These Muslims you are describing are not really following the example set forth by Muhammad, are they? You know, the thing that the Qur'an commands Muslims to do? Those terrorists taking over large swaths of land around the world sure as (*)(*)(*)(*) are acting like Muhammad, however.

    What are you even talking about? True Muslims cannot do what the terrorists are doing? You're aware Muhammad himself beheaded between 600 and 900 young men and boys (just as long as they had pubic hair), who had surrendered to him? Their women and children sold into slavery to the Muslim armies? That sounds a hell of a lot like what the terrorists are doing nowadays. They make no attempt to hide that they are following the example set forth by Muhammad.

    This is why apologia for Islam is so easy to dismiss as dishonest. It substitutes "feelings" (which your posts drips of), for reality. I'd rather take reality, if it's all the same to you. Go study the life of Muhammad and then come back and tell us that a true Muslim cannot do the things ISIS is doing.

    You seem to be furthering hatred, with posts like that.

    It completely undermines any point, you may have thought, you once had.....

    Believe it or not, the zingers I throw in are meant to break the tension and add a little levity. (don't take offense)

    It's not fair for me to criticize anything you've said because I have no idea what your background or education is or where you have assimilated your knowledge on all things Islam & Muslims.

    If I had to go solely based off of what you've written here, I would make the assumption that (like a lot of people) you have read information from many web sites that are filled with misleading information & quotes established by people with agendas.

    I can't say for sure so I'll leave it alone.

    We're definitely in different hemispheres here, which is ok but I still won't stop this crusade of mine to educate as many people as possible on this subject.

    There are many twisted souls for sure that do evil things.

    There aren't as many people that privately or secretly support terrorist's as the "internet" tells us.

    I never said that just because these boys were listening to records that - that alone qualifies them to be completely westernized, but further down in my post I did list many other things that yes, very much does prove that they are not as insular as you'd think.

    My Bottom line.................the same bottom line I've had for a long time now:

    The more people pull away from all of the negative images, negative rhetoric, hearsay, lies, misinterpretations & misconceptions that they have about the people involved in this discussion, the better things will be for all of us in the long run, and the faster walls will come down that will be replaced with bridges.

    I'm really sorry these boys died......

    Wasn't this kid Muslim? Wow it's almost like not all Muslims practice Islam the same way. Go figure.

    Thanks to the Marxist crowd, the US is filling up with them fast. Soon to be seen in your neighborhood.

    It's when they reach 5% that they start becoming a major problem.

    Way off topic, but I feel compelled to interject a comment here in response to the above.

    The 2016 Cadillac ATS has an inline 4 cylnder engine. The turbo-charged 2 liter (see below) generates 270 horsepower.

    The below video that got Richard Dawkins in trouble with devout SJWs came to mind when I read your comment. Not all religions are about ancient ideas of a flying god in the sky.

    Social justice warriors? Isn't that what anti black racists or straight white Christians call anyone who does not share their hatred?

    Well I think I just found an SJW. I don't know and I don't care what language those two groups use.

    Well that is the correct definition, right? Anyone who does not express hatred for non whites, non Christians, or non straight folks to a level satisfying a minimum bigotry is an "sjw" correct?


    Correct? The inference here is I am one because I am not an anti muslim bigot, right?

    So the short answer to all of that is, no. But depending on how deep you are in the SJW church, I guess it really depends on your faith. As Anita Sarkeesian (who recently got to speak to the UN) says, "Everything is sexist, everything is racist, everything is homophobic, and you have to point it all out."

    I could Trumpet some names in here, but it would be against Forum rules.

    They just started selling kebabs at a local mall last week; maybe you will have to wait longer for yours.

    Nice try, but no cigar.

    Not even close. :lol:

    It's simply a violent, backwards culture. Atheists Chairman Mao and Joseph Stalin killed far more innocent people under a brutal regime than ISIS ever will.

    Are you a pro-Muslim, anti-Christian bigot? :)
