I would trust the FBI to stifle any political conspiracy involving criminal actions. So unless they commit criminal actions I don't see how or even why this should be dealt with. Freedom of speech is still a right.

But sedition is not a right, and is criminal. And that's what the islamic orgs aspire to do.

I can't believe anyone would bring up Freedom of speech. How about the freedom of speech regarding the South Park episode or the case in Denmark?
- pambas
I agree with you, the Freedom of speech must be respected and those groups members of the supposed ''conspiracy'' shouldn't be interfered unless they actually do a crime … Willing or believing in the complete destruction of the US is not a crime, the crime is actually doing something.
It is fun that some bring up sedition … in a week that the left have attacked Rush and Beck of sedition, how short memory do we have ?
Then also this is just paranoiac free scaremongering, the ''radical Islamic'' are not the communist or the Nazi, they have no power to do arm at the same level has Hitler
Even the use of ''Islamo-fascist'' is very misleading … this is just a overblown non existent threat
- http://www.therightscoop.com/ therightscoop
Did you even watch the videos? It sure doesn't sound like it. They said they have proof that this is the intent of these groups and this is what they are preparing for.
Watch the videos before you comment next time because otherwise you sure don't know what you are talking about.
- pambas
With all due respect sure, I have watched the video but I'm still unimpressed.
Terrorism use of criminal activities to convey political message, you can address the crime or address the political message.
When you go for the second option the terrorist win … since His mission, which was give a political message is done and he have impressed you.
The video doesn't provide a smoking gun or anything that might prove that the terrorist are nothing beyond criminals and the ''civilizational war against the US'' is way to big to me to digest
For more that I disagree with Obama, I agree with him that the global war on terror is a huge mistake and must be scaled down
- http://www.therightscoop.com/ therightscoop
So this isn't enough to even raise your eyebrows? I mean, sure, do more investigation. Look up Walid Shoebat, a former PLO terrorist. He came here in the 80's to participate Jihad in America and has since become and evangelical Christian. He knows an awful lot about this subject.
There's alot to be said on this subject, and I will post more as weeks pass, but I think this idea the they are not a threat to us and that we should not wage war on these radical islamic groups is preposterous.
Open your eyes.
- pambas
My mind eyes are open and I will wait for your next post and see if they impress me.
Thanks
- ndes
If this in infact were a fearsom terrorist cell and the evidence was indeed there, the FBI should just arrest them. The fact that they don't, but rather have some anonymous dude talk about a supposedly looming doom, makes me very suspicious.

First off, I'm sorry but I, unlike some other commentors I've read here, HAVE in fact done a LOT of research on CAIR and Islamics in America. I'll tackle the easiest first, CAIR.
CAIR is an unindicted co-conspirator in a court case about the funding of Hamas. Along with the Islamic Society of North America and the North American Islamic Trust. Hmmm. Smoke=Fire.. Yeah, that applies.
Now I have to take issue with ndes and pambas. You two are the worst case scenario of why America is going to get bloody and soon. You moonbats hide your head in the sand and never want to look at the big picture. I'm speaking of moonbats in general not you two specifically. I haven't read enough of your tripe to know.
Freedom of speech IS a sacred right in this nation. But their are limits. You can't call for the death of the President, You can't yell fire in a crowded theater, and you can't harrass or terrorize with your speech. Those things impede others' rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
Islamics don't recognize freedom of speech. Look at what happened to (shudder) southpark and anyone else that makes a joke about the pediphile mohammad. As late as the 13th the asshat Islamic that was arrested in the NY subway plot used verses from the Quran to justify his attacks. And before you say that he's an isolated incident, he had met with 2 Al-Qaeda bigshots before the idiot was arrested.
As for the islamofascist angle…. The definition of fascist is a person who aspouses an authoritarian political point of view. Authoritarian, as in absolute domination, as opposed to Democratic or even Constitutional Republican ruling. (Pop Quiz: Are we a democracy? No. Sorry.) They (Islamo-turkeys) believe that Sharia law must be installed everywhere. Look at what's happened to England and France. Also, look at what they are doing overseas. Women are killed for being raped. Girls are kept out of school, most recently there are reports that girls (only) are getting sick at school.
So, based on what again, should we NOT call them fascists? Grow up and enough with the self hatred just because you happen to live in the greatest country in history. Understand your history. This is not a new war, America has been fighting Islam since there was an America (See also, barbary pirates).
If you don't get the blinders off of your eyes, you will be days late to the party when they force the fight here. And in case you haven't noticed, you foot-ball humping monkies, every terrorist attack on America has happened either through Islamic organizations or with their aid. To include the liberal's misapplied poster child for beating up militias, Tim Mcviegh. He met with and was seen with Al-qaeda members just before the OKC blast.
The bastard muslim that shot up fort hood was heard to yell Allahuakbar as he killed our soldiers. But hey, we're just being paranoid, right? Grow up, grow a pair, and go buy a new moral compass. Yours is screwed up.

These guys defending the rights of the people that want to destroy us probably never defend the rights of the TEA partiers. In the past couple weeks, one of the organizations they defend , CAIR , hacked into a Glenn Beck site. I still don't understand defending the rights of the enemy. The enemy that won't give the same rights to their people. Kinda makes you wonder who the enemy is sometimes.

Reagrding the South Park incident: SOuth Park has no one to blame but themselves for cow-towing to these idiots. Although I do not wish to insult any Muslims, Islam can kiss my you know what. I prominently offend Islam at every possible opportunity, not to offend peaceful Muslims (I'm sorry if that's the case), but rather to show the Islamofacists that I will not be persuaded to give up my freedom of speech because of their threats.

Top Islamic Site Calls for the Final Jihad
Loganswarning 24 April 2010
While we Western non-Muslims are arguing amongst ourselves, as to whether there really is an Islamic threat, Muslims are uniting against us. Today the top ranked Islamic site Khalifah Institute, put out the call for the final jihad.
The site had 184,800 visitors recorded today.
They call it the final jihad, because the Western and Islamic worlds, have been down this road before.
I have been warning people to this threat for years, and others have been doing the same for decades now. The end result is that many have woken up, but we still have not found our collective spine to fight this threat. The best most non-Muslims are doing is completely ignoring the problem, catering to Islam, or calling those that do speak out “racists”.
Islam is not race, and calling me a racist does not make the problem go away. It is much more than religion, it is a supremacist ideology that calls for the dominance of non-Muslims………..
YUSUFALI: Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the religion of Truth, (even if they are) of the People of the Book, until they pay the Jizya with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued.
YUSUFALI: O Prophet! rouse the Believers to the fight. If there are twenty amongst you, patient and persevering, they will vanquish two hundred: if a hundred, they will vanquish a thousand of the Unbelievers: for these are a people without understanding.
It is for these reasons that this call to jihad is made upon every Muslim brother and sister in the world. This is an obligation upon every Muslim above the age of puberty, though due to the seriousness of the circumstances Muslims below the age of puberty should also be encouraged to be part of this jihad. Each has the responsibility to do as much as is possible and in every way that they can, to successfully complete this jihad. The authority to make this call to jihad rests in the truth of the words not in power bestowed on those who make the call. Judge these words according to the Will of Allah. If we lose this battle against shaitan then Islam is lost. This is the last battle, this is the final jihad.

Iran is the Nazi's of today. Ahmadinejad is Hitler. Hitler was raising his armies and Europe did nothing. Chamberlain came back to Britain saying “look here, i have a signed document saying Hitler won't pursue anymore lands” and look what happened. Ahmadinejad is saying he wishes for the destruction of Israel while Obama does all he can to distance us from our ally. We hve to make a stand NOW because if our weakness is called by Russia and China and they support Iran, God knows how it will end
Pop Quiz where did Iran get its name?? From Aryan, as they fully supported the Nazi's

Good article and videos. The war has already begun. Pray and pray hard. It is hard to believe that this country has undergone such a massive transformation because of the election of Big O. But not just big O also all the people that support him just because of party loyalty. Things need to change and change fast. GOD help us.

If these are former fbi agents, they were probably under oath or law to keep secret anything they know about concerning top secret matters. What doesn't sound right about this interview is the guys faces and image are in the shadows as if to hide and keep their identity a secret and yet they do not disguise their voices in which case the fbi could easily identify them through voice recognition technology. Could they really be trying to hide their identity and have their real voices clearly heard during the interview? What do you think?
- ndes
Granting people rights doesn't mean they can do whatever they want. It just means you can't do whatever you want. And respecting the rights of your enemies is the only way you can ask them to respect your rights without being a hypocrite.

Drop a big ass bomb on these crazy ass radicals and the world will be much better off with out them. And yes they do have close connections with the nazis! Do your research!

ndes, I don't believe the enemy has any rights. Not when their intention is to destroy us. Your leader has weakened this country with his kiss the enemy's butt, ideas. His reaching out to Iran sure hasn't convinced Iran to stop working on nuclear weapons. They have nothing to worry about from this administration. It's a good thing we had brave men during the Revolutionary War and not some leader that thought he could talk our way to freedom.
- KeninMontana
If these groups are conducting paramilitary training here (as the interviewer seemed to suggest) then they are already in violation of US law, much the same as the Hutaree militia that was arrested not long ago in Michigan.These groups have been in this country for sometime and with the exception of a few like Farrakhan (spl?) have gone unnoticed, its high time this country woke up and draw this poison from the veins of our nation before it is too late. Our judgement in how we deal with this threat has been seriously flawed for sometime as my brother Marines who died in their barracks in Beruit and the Sailors of the USS Cole stand in mute testimony before us. If they really want Holy War I say we show them what it is to be on the receiving end of it for a change. Okay got that out of my system.
- Tyler
To be fair here Scoop…I've been reading over the Qu'ran again and it repeats over and over again NOT to attack unless you are attacked first. My point in this is that it's NOT ISLAM which is the culprit. It's COMMUNISTS who HIJACK Islam for their own POLITICAL ends.
- Tyler
I believe that referring to these guys as Islamic is a MISTAKE. You can wage war against them and FIGHT THEM. The problem is the USE OF THE WORD ISLAM. Just because THEY USE that word to justify their actions, we're supposed to JUST BELIEVE that is what Islam is ACTUALLY ABOUT? That's probably the ONE thing I can ACTUALLY AGREE with Obama on. Take “Islam” out of these and FIGHT THE TERRORISTS for the MARXIST SCUM that they REALLY ARE.
- Tyler
Freedom of speech, threats, and sedition are different things. I would say you go after threats and seditions the same way you would with anyone else. INVESTIGATE any reports of such activities. I don't doubt for one second that there's some group that's infiltrated our government. The question is how do we address it? Do we actually wage a jihad or do we try to dig out the root of the problem?
- Tyler
Yeah. There's MUCH more evidence of the New World Order agenda than there is of Muslim Brotherhood infiltration, so I must agree with you there, ndes.
- Tyler
Facism is the right word and we should all know from looking throughout history that facists lie. Lying about their true reasons would be what I think these groups and organizations are doing. Would they have NEAR as many supporters if they DIDN'T USE RELIGION? Probably not. Heck…they'd probably get about the same amount of support IF NOT MORE if they USED CHRISTIANITY, but they're aware that the European people are MORE EDUCATED than the mass majority of Arabs who support them.
- Tyler
Suspending Habeas Corpus is a terrible idea. If someone's guilty, then they will be punished. You don't have to detain them indefinitely and torture them to do that…and no…I don't believe waterboarding is torture. I'm just pointing that out as well because of the Neo-Cons who don't believe that we should give rights to the enemy. Last time I checked…weren't we supposed to be MORALLY SUPERIOR? How can we make such a claim if we deny them rights altogether?
- Tyler
See? THIS is more like it. Let us not deny rights to others, but just STAND STRONG to our own. If they want to threaten us…keep it up. Hell yeah, dude.
- Tyler
I think it's fearmongering for publicity. I don't know about anyone else here, but I've never heard of PJTV until this post.
- Tyler
Once again…let's deal with the actual terrorist mentality and not the LIE which uses religion to justify these actions. If America wasn't already so tied in to the global government which is growing day-by-day, then we could've EASILY wiped this entire movement out a long time ago. The idea of the global government is to distract people with violence and celebrity gossip and everything else they can think of until they've already implanted themselves so deeply that by the time people find out, they're shocked and unsure as to whether they can reverse it.
- Tyler
Indeed, sir. Here's something else I'd like to point out to the Neo-Cons who constantly talk about the need to preemptively strike and suspend rights of POWs.
HISTORICALLY SPEAKING…America's NEVER preemptively attacked. We've ALWAYS been attacked before we moved out. This idea of preemptive warfare is fairly new really.
Unless we want to become something OTHER THAN AMERICA…we have to WAIT FOR IT. When it HITS…THEN we can go all out. Their numbers NOR their firepower will EVER outdo the U.S. military. I'm with Kenin on one thing though. BRING IT ON, PUNKS! Also…to quote Dirty Harry…”You gotta ask yourself one question, punk. Do I feel lucky? Well…do ya?”
- Tyler
I think WWI might be an exception to what I just said, but I don't believe there are any other examples of America starting wars.
- Acidock
You keep proving over and over that you know squat about Islam.

Do you actually read the news in the USA or do you just follow the lefty sites?
Your comment “overblown non existent threat” is completely untrue.

Sounds like Ron “the idiot” Paul.

What I'm saying IS : There are people who want to commit criminal activities and kill people to spread their message, SO LETS DEAL WITH THIS SECURITY PROBLEM
Now if you jump to a global Islamic conspiracy to wage a ''civilizational war against the west'' then I will get you a tinfoil hat and some aspirin
- Acidock
They are Muslims and so by definition they are part of Islam.
Obama doesn't know what he is talking about — nor do some people in this thread who are making excuses for Islam.
- Acidock
Tyler is a leftist. Still on about the “New World Order.”
- Acidock
They have been around for a long time. Bill Whittle has been around a little longer than that.
- Acidock
People are trying to but you and your ilk are Islam apologists.
- Acidock
I think you missed what KeninMontana was stating. Unless you were being obtuse on purpose.
- Acidock
When Ron Paul won the CPAC poll they have I could not believe the excitement from his groupies. They were talking about how Paul was going to win the presidency.
But the strange thing, at least for me, was how they thought that a Kucinich/Paul or Paul/Kucinich ticket was the answer.
Now I understand. I always thought the 'hate America Americans' were always the left of left Democrats. Plus you find the majority of Islam apologists on the left.
I always knew that the majority of Ron Paul groupies are out of touch with reality and they always seem to blame any faults in the world on America first. And judging by this thread, they also share the Islam apologist outlook.
Now I understand the Kucinich/Paul chatter. What a bunch of dbags.
- Acidock
So, the answer is no you haven't been reading the news in the last decade or so.
It has been going on for a lot longer than that, but 9/11 is a good reference point.
I also take it you have not been following certain websites that talk about the Islam; using Islam's own texts.
This has nothing to do with a few Muslims that are upset about the world and having a discussion in a back alley coffee shop.
- pambas
So we must all prepare ourself against the incoming New World Kalhifate and the threat of Islamic World Domination ? Substitute certain worlds and you get Alex Jones nonsense.
The Coran was written in the 12 century by people who lived in constant warfare … you are surely going to find warmongering there … but does that imply that all muslim are enemies and dangerous ?
This is going far to paranoia …
- Tyler
I know the words of the Qu'ran repeating certain phrases over and over again.
God is all powerful and God is all knowing and all merciful. It says that a lot. It also says attack only if attacked first over and over again.
Do I believe these to be the words of God? Absolutely not. Written by man just like the Bible was. I point it out because you can pretty much take ANY text out of context if you want. The “Verse of Swords” was actually self-defensive warfare in the context that the Christians were invading Muslim lands at the time the Qu'ran was written…but as we all have seen and know…all it takes is a facist PERVERTING words in order to DO GREAT HARM because of them.
- Acidock
Have you read any history on how Islam was started and what took place throughout the centuries? Islam is very long on violence and that is the norm. People who claim that it is only “radical” Islam that you have to worry about doesn't understand Islam. The radical is the norm.
The Qur'an wasn't written in the 12th century. Since the Qur'an is, as Muslims believe, the literal word of God – it has the same meaning during Muhammad's day as it does today. That is why there can be no reformation of their holy book.
Now where did I say “all” Muslims are dangerous?
- Tyler
Strawman AND a red herring argument. I'm trying to point out that the New World Order conspiracy theory actually has MORE BACKBONE to it than the idea that Muslims have been slowly taking over our government and we're suddenly becoming a caliphate nation with Shiriah Law.
Also…Alex Jones is a Libertarian as am I. Think of him as a nutjob, if you like, but he DOESN'T WANT the huge left government of the New World Order and honestly…neither do I.
So…if you're going to insult me, can you at least insult me PROPERLY?
- Tyler
Cool. Even though I really wish you would maybe look into what I'm talking about instead of just dismissing me as some sort of “liberal apologist,” which I'm NEITHER…I'll at least start looking into PJTV.
- Acidock
Which Qur'an have you read? Have you read any other Islamic texts?
Your statements make me believe you really haven't read the Qur'an. Just for the simple fact that there are verses that 'permit' you to attack. Also some verses have more validity than others.
I don't need to take any of the Qur'ans passages out of context. That is what the Islamic scholars, the Imams, tell you what they mean. In the West you get the watered down version of Islam to make it more palatable for Western standards and/or ears.
- Tyler
Haha. I honestly don't know why I bother to even reply to your comments. Time and time again, I've shown myself as someone who wants to bring some LOGIC into these arguments as opposed to just believing people who say that “Oh…it's not that people have criminal mindsets and are willing to hijack a different ideology and call it their own. It's CLEARLY the ideology which is hijacked that's the problem.”
So…I guess if people started blowing up building and using verses from the Bible to support their actions…we should consider CHRISTIANITY to be a threat?
Anyway. I'm willing to open my mind up to it as I have been for a while hence why I've actually bothered reading the Qu'ran which is actually pretty boring. I'm painstaking it for the sake of knowing for myself whether or not this is a “violent religion,” but I've seen no violence other than self-defense thus far in this book. Who knows. Maybe I'll find that there's something I missed. I'll keep reading and be more than glad to say “Acidock. I was wrong and I'm sorry.” should I find anything contradicting my current views on the subject matter.
- Tyler
I assume he was saying let's start going after these guys instead of waiting for them to attack us. I thought I addressed that.
But hey…since I'm just a “leftist Islamic apologist” who doesn't know what I'm talking about…please enlighten me on what Kenin was actually saying.
- Acidock
I put you in the quack group a long time ago. This is nothing new.
- Acidock
There is simply too much evidence that override the Islam apologists agenda.
- Tyler
The only thing that Ron Paul actually has to do with this thread is the fact that Paul recently stated that sanctions against Iran was a precursor to an unlawful war.
As I said before…strawman and red herring arguments.
- Acidock
I'll repeat again since I just mentioned it to another poster. It (ideology) has not been hijacked. It is the same now as it was 1400 hundred years ago.
- Acidock
So then do you agree?
And who said anything about suspending the rights of POWs?
- Tyler
People from ALL sides take the Qur'an out of context.
The “Islamofacist” groups take the “Verse of Swords” stuff and use them to justify their killing of innocent people.
The Neo-Cons believe that because the “Islamofacists” do this, that's what the entire religion is all about.
I on the other hand prefer to look at the book from a historical perspective just as I would the Bible. I already understand that with any book originating from the Middle East, you're going to lose some of it to translation. All of it still seems to be there as a whole maybe minus a few words or partially distorted grammarically.
The Qur'an is the main book and the Sunnah (if I spelled that right) is the examples of Prophet Muhammad. Personally, I don't really feel like reading the Sunnah though because I'd figure that for the TRUE MUSLIMS…the “word of God” would be MOST IMPORTANT.
- Acidock
Still waiting for you to tell me with Qur'an you have read.
Btw, did you know that the overwhelming majority of Muslims have never read the Qur'an? It is taught to them in regular and religious schools. In mosques.
So they only know what their teacher has told them. That is why the conversation is sometimes so weird when talking to a Muslim, because they simply don't have a clue of what is in their own texts. Some of them learn some verses by rote so they can reel off one or two of the less threatening verses.
- Tyler
There are over 1.3 billion Muslim people on this planet now. Let's just say hypothetically that 13 million people (which probably is way more than the actual number) of these people practice in violence because of their religion. That's 1/10 of a percent of all Muslims on Earth. How is THAT the “norm?”
- Tyler
From what I've seen of your attempts to argue in favor of this “Islam isn't actually a religion, but a facist idea,” style of thinking…I could just as easily place you in the quack group too, so WELCOME BROTHER.
- Acidock
You : People from ALL sides take the Qur'an out of context.
Don't have to take it out of context. Islamic historians have been discussing it for centuries. It is all out in the open for all to see.
- Tyler
The word “apologist” refers to the idea that I go around telling these people that I'm sorry for something. I can assure you I don't nor have I ever.
However, I also do not fear them because to fear anyone or any group of people is just a weakness in spirit and character…hence why I call these types of interviews, Wilders' “Fitna” propaganda, and other forms of Anti-Islam BS just a bunch of fearmongering which distracts people from the REAL problem which is a government that is growing larger and larger and starting to intertwine more and more with the IMF to plunder what liberties we have left.
- Acidock
Your comment has nothing to do with what I wrote.
My observation was that the Ron Paul groupies have a tie in the far left freaks.
Let me use a phrase the kids love – you people are two peas in a pod. How quaint.
- Tyler
This is the one I'm reading. http://tanzil.info/
Yes. I am WELL AWARE of this having been to a country where Muslims would tell me things like that I'm going to Hell cause I eat pork, but after spending some time in Hell, I'll repent and ascend to paradise. Didn't find THAT in the Qur'an either thus far. That'd be pretty nice though since the Christian religion is less forgiving in that sense.
That's the kind of stuff I'm talking about too when I say that WAR ISN'T the solution, but EDUCATION is. If we spent EVEN HALF the money on EDUCATING these poor kids who get sucked into the terrorist movements as we do FIGHTING them…this problem MIGHT have ALREADY BEEN SOLVED.
- Tyler
I absolutely agree with fighting the enemies of America. I NEVER DID disagree with that notion. MY argument was with WHO the enemy actually is and what the enemy is REALLY about instead of assuming that it's Islam to blame.
- Acidock
I see you clearly, once again, missed what the conversion was about.
There is no such thing as “radical Islam.” Islam is Islam. You simply are not getting it. The Islam that Muhammad practiced when he moved to Medina is still the same as today.
- Tyler
The POWs thing was just the point that it seems that the Neo-Cons who generally believe that Islam is the reason for all the violence and not just that there are control freaks who want to use the religion to do so ALSO don't believe that people who are captured should have any rights at all.
- Tyler
This right here is exactly why I'm reading the Qur'an. To find out if Islam itself is actually violent or if JUST THE PERVERSION of it is. So far…what I've read supports the LATTER.
- Acidock
According to Muslims – Islam is more than just a religion. But you knew that, right?
- Acidock
I disagree that you aren't an Islam apologist. You have it all over you.
- Tyler
I'm aware of this. What I'm getting at is that when you say things like that Islam is a violent religion and assume that this is the “norm,” the numbers don't support such claims.
- Tyler
Well, my comment had nothing to do with what you wrote and your comment had nothing to do with this thread, so shall we call it a draw then?
- pambas
We have finally entered the realm of double speak !
So Islam is dangerous but muslim are not ? but you still want to wage war on Islam ?
I see no reason to reform the Coran other than the Muslims themselves doing it, then your claim about how dangerous Islam is thorough history is completly bogus.
Western Ideas, advancement, technology and civilization have completly crushed what was once the Islamic civilization, which crumbled under it own apathy.
Even Belgium had the honour to defeat muslim armies and Israel won the 6 days wars … so where are the dangerous hordes of muslims ?
What countries like Tunisia, Algeria and Morroco suggest is that radical Islam is nothing more than the last gasp of people who are becoming irrelevant and that muslim countries are like Westerns one going towards a peaceful path
So were are your barbarians ?
- Acidock
So you don't have a hard copy?
Is that the one you read first time around?
- Tyler
Of course. One can say that about Christians believing that their religion is more than just a religion too. Buddhists also believe that their religion is more than just a religion. People who practice religions in general believe that there's more to their “words of God,” “spiritual insights,” and “enlightenments,” than just the religion itself that they practice.
- Tyler
My wanting to focus on a corrupt system which is growing more and more with each day and seems to not change a whole lot between “left” and “right” instead of worrying about the “big, bad brown man with a turban,” does not qualify for being an “apologist.”
To call me a “conspiracy theorist” or even a “truther” would be more accurate than an “apologist.”
- Acidock
Quit making making stuff up.
You still are not getting it. This has nothing to do with numbers. I know you are desperately trying to change the subject, but that is going to work with me.
The text is the same today as it was in Muhammad's time because –as I have already pointed out– Muslims believe it is the literal word of God.
After Muhammad moved to Medina is when some of the verses started getting hateful and violent. Since reformation is out of the picture – it there will remain the same, today, as in Muhammad's time.
- Tyler
It looks a lot like the one I read the first time around thus far. I borrowed one from an instructor a couple of years back. I believe it was called “The Qur'an: English Translation” or something to that effect. The only other thing I remember about the cover was that it was green.
- Acidock
You keep trying to change the subject. Why?
I don't think you even know what you are talking about. You are just making your responses up on the fly.
- Tyler
As I've already stated, what you're referring to as the “violent verses of Islam” are actually self-defensive verses referring to the Crusades of the era.
The point of education as I mentioned before was for those people who can't read and therefore don't know what's actually in there. You put these words into proper context for them. You don't have to tell them it's not the word of God. Just let them learn the proper context of the very words they live by, so that terrorists will be LESS LIKELY to breed up from there.
OF COURSE numbers have to do with it. If LESS THAN 1/10th of a PERCENT of ALL the Muslims on planet Earth are actually committing violent acts…well…you DON'T HAVE PROPER CAUSE to wage war on Islam anymore.
- Acidock
Who said I wanted to reform the Qur'an. Not I.
My point was bringing up the fact that the Qur'an is the same in Muhammad's day as it is today. Nothing has changed.
If nothing has changed then what do we have to go on. Centuries of Islamic scholars studying the Qur'an.
- Tyler
I'm not exactly sure what you THINK I'm gonna respond with because HEY…if I'm NOT AGREEING with you, then I MUST be making stuff up. It sounds to me like YOU'RE the one who's not sure what else he can possibly say because he's ran out of substance.
- Acidock
No, my comment had lots to do with the posters in this thread and other threads.
It was an observation on how they overlap.
- Acidock
Let me clue you in. They are part of Islam.
- Acidock
It is members of Islam that is doing the majority of killing around the world.
I don't know how you could be so ignorant of this. Its not a secret.
- Tyler
I don't know about you, but I'd rather KNOW FOR MYSELF by reading the ACTUAL TEXTS for MYSELF than just trust that some “expert” knows better than I possibly could.
To just go off of somebody else's word about Islam is like listening to Jerry Falwell or some other big shot televangelist.
If you read it for yourself and read the history for yourself, then you can get a much more clear picture. You think YOU'D want to do that since Islam seems to be your enemy. Know your enemy, right? You can't know your enemy all that well if you're getting second-hand information.
- Acidock
You would be wrong.
You should buy yourself a few different hard copies. Pick up some 'Life of Muhammad' books.
One with some commentary on the verses.
- pambas
You assume that because the Koran have violent verses, then :
1- It gives muslims the means to attack
2- It gives muslims the willingness to do it.
3- Destroying the Koran and the Islam will destroy the threatIf you negate this then you are really in full double-speak mode
The empirical evidence suggest that terrorist are just a minority among muslims, and that religion is just one among other motivations from their acts and not that 1.6 billions human being are motivated by a irrational rage to destroy the west with their bare hands … which is utterly impossible
Lock for your ghost and monster somewhere else … I think a founding father must be spinning in his grave
- Tyler
Well, perhaps you might be able to find a more trustworthy source…but I just found a “Murders per capita” and Islam doesn't seem to be a huge factor if you look at the countries where most of the murders are taking place.
- Tyler
My bad. Here it is. http://www.nationmaster.com/graph/cri_mur_perca…
- Acidock
No, you are wrong. There are some “self-defensive” verses. Many of them have been abrogated.
Quite making excuses for the terrorists.
- Tyler
I'm not making excuses for terrorism. I don't condone nor will ever condone such actions. Actually, if ANYTHING…YOU are by saying “Well, their religion's telling them to do it.”
- Acidock
And btw, you still are trying to confuse yourself with numbers while I'm talking about something totally different.
I can only conclude from your tactics — that this is another sign of you being a Islam apologist.
- Tyler
I assume you mean the Sunnah. I may do so, if I haven't already found proof of the “religion of violence,” by then.
- Acidock
Talking about numbers now, we have a poster who think that if only ten percent of Muslims want to wage war against infidels, that we should be not concerned.
The excuses that some of these people come up with are shocking.
- Tyler
How can you NOT ACCEPT that maybe…JUST MAYBE these guys are USING “Islam” (note the quotations) to fulfill their agenda?
- Tyler
Just for giggles, I found you a MORE RECENT one. Iraq is #1, but I would ASSUME that's ONLY because of the UNLAWFUL WAR going on over there. Other than that, I still don't see a whole lot of Muslim countries committing violence.
- Acidock
Yes you are.
Yes, many Muslims follow in the path of Muhammad. If you know anything about Muhammad in Medina then you will know what I'm talking about.
But I don't think you do. You are an outright liar.
- Acidock
Now, where did I say I wanted to destroy the Qur'an?
Where did I say I wanted to destroy Islam?
- Tyler
If THIS doesn't ring to your thick skull, then I'm not sure what will.
The reason I use numbers is simple. YOU try to say that Islam is responsible for the majority of violence…I just disproved that towards the bottom of this.
Also, you try to say that Islamic texts are full of violence, so the religion itself is a violent one. You would THINK that MORE THAN 1/10% of the TOTAL MUSLIM POPULOUS would be COMMITTING TERRORIST ACTS, if THAT WERE TRUE.
So…ya know…really just kind of sounds more to me like “I hate the brown people and I'm gonna stick with my guns even if they're loaded with the wrong bullets,” is your philosophy in this whole debate.
- Acidock
Waiting for you, pambas.
Btw, what do you know about the Qur'an? Are you Muslim? Did you grow up in an Islamic country? Or perhaps you have family members that are Muslims?
- Tyler
Let's not distort my post. It's LESS THAN 1/10th of a percent.
I'm not saying let's not be concerned with these people either.
I'm simply saying that the idea that it's the RELIGION and NOT THE FACIST MINDSET of the individuals in charge of these organizations is ABSURD.
Anyway. I'm done playing around with you, kid. You go after the big, bad brown guy and I'll try to get tot he ROOT of the problem instead. Goodnight.
- Acidock
You should read some other texts besides the Qur'an.
Also, read some hard copy Qur'an's or online Qur'ans with commentary.
- Tyler
Better yet…I NEVER ACTUALLY ESTABLISHED that it was EVEN THAT MANY who are committing violence. That was 1/10th of a percent HYPOTHETICALLY.
But no…be afraid. Be VERY afraid. HAHA.
Better arm up on rocket launchers NOW before Sherka Lerka Muhammad Jihad comes your way. HAHA.
Alright. Seriously now. I need to get some shut eye. Later, yall.
- Acidock
Again you are making stuff up.
I am talking about (I can't be any clearer than this) that the Qur'an has not changed, nor will it, since Muhammad's days.
- Acidock
Btw, as an aside, right now, the world over, Islam is at the heart of the majority of violence (my guess is about 85 percent).
- Acidock
Good for you. I suggest you read even more.
But if you are going to discount Islamic historians throughout history then you are missing a big piece of the puzzle.
What, and how do you think they teach in different history courses.
- pambas
So please tell me exactly what do you want to do ?
''Btw, what do you know about the Qur'an? Are you Muslim? Did you grow up in an Islamic country? Or perhaps you have family members that are Muslims?''
Do you want to classify me has enemy combat or this is just my impression ? or this is just a spooky return to identity politics that only the left was good at ?
- Acidock
You really aren't responding with anything original. You are just adding a little to what I said and making it look like you know what you are talking about.
I'm far from a expert, but our last few conversations about Islam, clearly show to me that I know a lot more than you, and from that, I can know when you are passing off the BS.
- Tyler
I've already explained everything I feel I can explain on this topic. Summary:
Whether these guys are taking over our government covertly or even if they're just hiding behind these organizations…we should not ignore anyone who threatens our country.
My suggestion though is to try to distinguish the difference by reading the actual texts instead of getting sucked into propaganda.
Acidopoholous…you're right about one thing. I should check out the Sunnah after I read the Qu'ran assuming that I don't find evidence of “God telling me to kill.”
Let us place things in their proper context when we read them though. That's the last thing I'm gonna post on this thread since I'm not a fan of this arguing with a brick wall game.
- Tyler
That's a pretty whopping guess. Do you have any evidence? By all means, I know you hate numbers, so you don't necessarily have to provide me with numbers. You might just want to provide numbers, if you want this ridiculous claim of your's to hold water.
- Acidock
See, again, you are trying to change the subject.
This thread title or the posted videos are different than what you want to talk about. If you don't like this thread why did you post in it?
Just wait until another thread comes along that you prefer.
As far as this posted nonsense of yours …
“To call me a “conspiracy theorist” or even a “truther” would be more accurate than an “apologist.“
… that had nothing to do with this thread. You proved you were a truther a few months ago.
- Tyler
All I'm getting at is that the information is only second-hand, if someone else is reading it to you. Of course I won't discount other people, but I generally try to interpret information myself and only turn to others if I am confused by what I read.
- Acidock
Yeah, read the Sira and the Hadith.
I believe I already mentioned tasfir.
- Acidock
That might even be on the low side.
- Acidock
What do you mean what do I want to do?
- pambas
What do you want to do about terrorism ?
you said : ''There is no such thing as “radical Islam.” Islam is Islam. You simply are not getting it. The Islam that Muhammad practiced when he moved to Medina is still the same as today.''
So you made it clear that the problem is Islam and that you want a war against Islam … so the only logically correct thing you want the destruction of Islam
- Acidock
If you are an Islam apologist I do think you part of the problem. Countless of people in government and outside government keep making excuses for Muslims. It is time –long overdue– to stop that BS.
You sick creeps take the blame off of them and blame Americans. I think we are up to reason #833 why they hate us. That is total BS from them and the excuse makers.
You should read some of Sayyid Qutb writings and his disgusting views –when he visited Armerica– on Americans and why he hated them.
- Tyler
Better a “truther” than a warmonger.
- Acidock
Where did I say I wanted a war with Islam.
Btw, you haven't pointed out the answers to my other questions. Still waiting.
- Acidock
That's very true. There is no such animal as “radical Islam.” It is only Islam.
You people need to read some texts.
- Tyler
There's a difference between taking the blame off of the religion (which is MY only aim) and taking the blame off the person…which I'm pretty sure NEITHER of us are doing. So…yeah. Remember the old saying? To assume is to make an ass out of “u” and “me.”
- Acidock
I will again repeat — they are following Muhammad's path. If you don't know what that is then I suggest you broaden you reading materials.
I'm beginning to completely understand now, that the reason, I have to keep repeating myself, is that you know jack-squat about Islam.
They are following in Muhammad's path.
The Qur'an –Muslims believe– is the literal word of God.
What was true back then is true today.
Now I suggest you read up on Muhammad. - Acidock
Who is talking one on one murder. I'm talking terrorist acts.
- Acidock
Look at all the terrorist acts around the world.
Who is responsible for the majority of them?
You sure are trying hard to change the subject.
- pambas
I'm not making excuses for muslims, I'm staying focused on the problem : which is terrorism, not Islam, if you can't make the distinction than you are going nowhere. This is a security problem, not a religious one.
I know some muslims and from what I saw they are just like the christian : read, pray, sin, pray, fornicate, pray.
Just normal human beings they can sometime get completely stupid and set of off a bomb, like Mac Veigh or just go about his life and get obese.
What is funny is that you keep saying that Islam is the problem, that it is in its core violent, that 85% of muslims are violent, then you go and say that you want no conflict ?
So if you have identified Muslims and Islam has the problem, you are going to fight who ? the germans ?
- Acidock
Some experts have the number closer to 15-20 percent. With an additional 15-20 percent of support staff who will aide, but not actually participate.
- Acidock
I used the number you threw out 3 times.
- Acidock
You keep coming out on the losing end of the argument. The problem is that you claim you have only read an online Qur'an with doesn't come with any commentary and that you are some how able to understand it.
Yet, when I post that Islamic historians have been studying it since the beginning of Islam you scoff at that. Which is also funny because you dismiss out of hand some of those people who use the text of those Islamic scholars who have been studying their entire adult life.
You really do need to do more reading on the subject.
- Acidock
So, your lack of reading and you own interpretation is leading to your confusion.
That clears that up.
- Acidock
You've made that clear. That is why you are an Islam apologist.
- Acidock
No your not. You are trying to give Muslims and Islam an excuse. Why don't you google how many Islamic terrorist attempts there have been against the US since Obama has been in office. It is staggering.
- Acidock
So now you admitted you are a truther. Thanks.
Now where did I admit of even acknowledge that I like war. I be waiting, but I know I will be waiting for a long time.
Get on it, though. I'll be here
- pambas
and you have confirmed my suspicions that you are against Muslims and Islam … so good day and good luck
- Acidock
How did the google work out for you?
- williamm
Do you believe in waiting until they carry out their threats before they lose their rights? Threats against the USA are not covered under freedom of speech. If you believe it is, try threatening a government official. People that believe we should wait until the threats are carried out are going to politically correct our country out of existence. It's nice to be MORALLY SUPERIOR, but fighting a war against people that follow no rules will put you in last place. We need to take the threats seriously before it's too late.
- ndes
Good grief, what a thread.
- Jaynie59
There is only one thing anyone needs to know about Islam to form a negative opinion of Islam:
All Muslims believe that the Koran is the last, literal, true word of God and that the Koran is the only holy text that has never been touched by the hand of man. All Muslims believe that Muhammed was God's last messenger, and the Koran was revealed through Muhammed, who is considered a model Muslim.
That's it. That's the basis of Islam and if you don't believe that you are not a Muslim.
If you are a Muslim then you believe that all other religions and societies are not only invalidated by Islam, but are an insult to Islam. If you don't believe that Islam is the only true religion, and that all societies based on anything other than Islam is an affront to Islam and all Muslims, you are not a Muslim.
It's very simple. The term “People of The Book”, which many Muslim defenders think is sign of respect for Jews and Christians is actually a derogatory smear aimed at Jews and Christians. The “book”, meaning the Old and New Testaments, were corrupted. The Jews did it deliberately and have been Islams mortal enemies since the beginning, and the Christians are simply fools who are following a lesser Prophet called Jesus Christ.
When you understand that basic fact of Islam, you will understand that there is no such thing as a moderate Muslim.
- Tyler
The proof is all over this thread that you basically want to “rid the real problem” which in your own words is “Islam.” Now maybe that's not saying you want to wage war or that you like war…but I don't see how else you can “rid the world of Islam” the way you're wanting other than to wage war, so my conclusion is that whether you like it or not…you feel this need to wage a pointless war.
- Tyler
You mean the ones that the mainstream media are willing to report? Yeah. You're right on that one. Also, the whole notion that because the media's reporting so many more earthquakes than ever before, we're supposed to believe that there are actually more of them occurring when actual seismograph centers will tell you that it's just another normal year of earthquakes?
- Tyler
Murder is murder no matter how you carry it out. Murder in the name of Islam is JUST AS EVIL as some random person coming up to you and murdering you on the street or in an alley.
Acts of terrorism are acts of murder, but are idealogical in nature. I'm just going to let you keep thinking that Islam is the reason why these people are doing it since actual statistics aren't good enough for you and the facist lies are enough to convince you of this.
- Tyler
20 percent of 1.3 Billion people? You're suggesting to me that 260 Million people which is almost the entire population of this entire country are committing acts of terrorism? Okay. As I said before. Please show me the numbers and I might actually start to believe you.
- Tyler
The whole notion that just because they're experts, then they must know…maybe they do and maybe they don't. Just because they know, doesn't mean they're not distorting the information. I'm sure the facists who manage to dupe young Arabs into joining terrorist organizations actually know what they're reading to them when they read to them from their own texts. That doesn't mean they're right.
There are historians and scholars who support your view and there are historians and scholars who support my view.
So…what other option is there besides to read the texts and the actual history of the time it was written for me to know the truth for myself?
- Tyler
I agree that threats should be addressed. I believe I said it up here earlier. If we actually enforce our laws and investigate threats and deal with them accordingly, then we won't have to sit around wondering “Why won't our government do anything,” because they will actually be doing their job.
My point about the enemy having rights is that a prisoner of war should have the same rights as any other prisoner. Right to a fair trial which if they're guilty…they'll receive their due punishment from there. That's what I mean by let's NOT suspend Habeas Corpus and that's what my moral superiority argument was entailing.
- Acidock
You : Now maybe that's not saying you want to wage war or that you like war …
I didn't think you could back up your words. Epic fail on your part.
- Acidock
Now you are on to earthquakes?
You really should read the news from different sources instead of getting it from the lefty blogs.
- Tyler
I believe this is where my threads have been taken out of context. I don't have a positive opinion of Islam nor do I have a positive opinion of ANY religion.
However, I still argue based on my own experiences and not some “experts” telling me that every Muslim I've met in my life whether here in America OR in Iraq are actually quite friendly and hospitable. You can argue that perhaps the ones in Iraq are just being nice when they're around people with M16s and they're unarmed…but what about the ones in America who are very respectful when you're also unarmed? Where's THEIR “violent Islamic brainwashing?”
- Acidock
You seem to be missing the fundamental argument, therefore, you are all out of sorts.
Muslims are committing acts of terrorism in the name of Islam. They are holding up their holy book and using it as their guidance.
Your logic is so faulty. You clearly are an Islam apologist.
- Acidock
That is what I wrote.
Me : “Some experts have the number closer to 15-20 percent.”
- Tyler
There's no point in me copying and pasting stuff you've already posted. It's all over the place. If the proof's already there, there's no need to make extra copies.
- Acidock
This is a point you don't seem to want to get. I guess because it doesn't suit your view on Islamic terrorism.
The documentation by MUSLIM Islamic historians throughout the centuries makes a mockery of you for apologizing for Islam terrorists.
- Acidock
Okay. Now you are backing up your EPIC FAIL.
- Tyler
Strawman, bud. That's what you're all about.
Unlike you, I've repeatedly backed up my claims. When I say only the ones that the mainstream media will report, it's because some of the LARGER scale genocides AREN'T being reported and AREN'T being dealt with the same way we are dealing with terrorists who use “Islam” to justify their actions.
I suppose you think that the governments in Africa who are purposely starving their people to death are ISLAMIC terrorists. Over a billion people are a victim to THAT terrorism right now. But wait…since it's NOT ISLAMIC, then it's JUST MASS STARVATION and NOT TERRORISM.
- Tyler
“Epic fail?” Are you still in high school? As I said last night…I have NO idea WHY I'm bothering to respond to you still other than perhaps I'm just interested to see what other nonsense you'll come up with next.
- Tyler
You yourself have already established that many of the Muslims who are doing just that CAN'T EVEN READ their own texts, so your logic is every bit as faulty as you're claiming mine is.
You know what? I'll say that I'm an Muslim apologist, but not a terrorist apologist because UNLIKE YOU…I can acknowledge that there's a DIFFERENCE between the 2.
- Tyler
What's the source of that? Who are the experts and where did THEY get those numbers?
- Tyler
It's really gotten to the point with you that the nonsense isn't even entertaining enough to continue this.
- Acidock
It is another epic fail on your part.
Just read back to the start of this sub-thread. Where I posted this to your charge of warmonger.
“Now where did I admit of even acknowledge that I like war. I be waiting, but I know I will be waiting for a long time. “
5 hours later and I'm still waiting.
- Acidock
You : Strawman, bud. That's what you're all about.
Now your trying to disguise the fact that I called you out on you sleight-of-hand earthquake quackery.
So your argument is if a person stays inside their home and does not read or hear any outside news then that must mean the world is one big happy place?
- Tyler
A warmonger by definition isn't necessarily someone who likes war, but supports it which as I said…we can't get rid of Islam the way you want without a war, so you support ridding Islam which requires war which means you support war making you a warmonger. Good day.
- Acidock
Yes, I did say that the majority of Muslims don't even read the Qur'an. They go by what others tell them what is in it.
I don't recall using the term Muslim apologist in this thread or in any thread in any forum I've posted in. Now, maybe one slipped in because it was late or I was tired — but the term I use, and most people, is Islam apologist.
Which you are. You keep giving excuses for their terrorist acts. You, being a lefty, is part of the blame-America-first crowd.
Interesting that you don't believe anything I post, but know you use one of my points when you think it will further your apologist agenda.
- Acidock
You said that last night.
But facts are getting in the way of your leftist view.
- Tyler
Of course not. My point is that bad things happen all over the world on a fairly regular basis and VERY LITTLE of it has to do with Islam and EVEN THAT small part is NOT ACTUAL Islam, but terrorists USING Islam. That was the entire point of me posting anything on this thread to begin with.
- Jaynie59
I don't understand your point. There are 160 comments and I didn't read more than about 4 of them, so I don't know what you were arguing. Can I guess that you were saying that you've met a lot of swell Muslims so therefore they can't all be bad?
Yeah. I know. I have liberal friends who claim that all the time. Except they never seem to know these swell Muslims well enough to actually talk to them about Islam. The last time a friend defended Islam by mentioning her Muslim friend I asked her to add the friend on the phone with us and I'd talk them. Just had a couple of questions. Uh, gee, turns out they're not really friends after all. It was just some woman she met once.
Being polite and being respectiful are not the same thing. I agree that Muslims are very polite. That doesn't mean they don't consider you inferior. If they are Muslim, they do consider you inferior.
By the way, I'm an atheist so people like you and me are even lower on the infidel scale to a Muslim than Jews and Christians are.
- Tyler
I use your own points against you because I am showing how they are either wrong or incomplete.
Let's say that I actually defended Islam. I'm not defending the whole religion. It's a BS religion created by man just like every other religion.
I would consider myself more of a PARTIAL Islam apologist, if you want to continue to insult me for the sake of not having to prove your outlandish claims because I'm making the point that Islam is ONE thing and terrorism is ANOTHER which is what you apparently seem to believe are ONE & THE SAME.
- Tyler
I'm still waiting for some actual facts, bud…and last time I checked…Libertarians (which I am) are further right than any of you Neo-Con types.
- KeninMontana
To clarify something here, the attack on the Marine barracks occurred in October of 1983. We have been at “war” with these extremists for over 30 years. As to “POW” status in order to enjoy that protected status requires that you abide by the Geneva Accords and The International Rules for Soldiers. These groups have failed to meet that measure therefore “fall outside the protections granted in the accords”, in short they can and should be gunned down on the battlefield without mercy as the rabid dogs they are. As for the teachings of “the prophet”? This person was a murdering pedophile, at about 48 years of age he took as a wife and bedded a 9 year old girl, and took such pleasure in beheading those he counted as enemies he named his swords in accordance. Most adherents of Isalm in the east are illiterate in there own language and haven't a clue of Arabic, they are taught the Quran by rote (sp?) so they actually have no idea what they are being taught and have only the honesty of their teachers and mullahs to go on. If we want to end this then we need to prosecute this as a war and take it directly to them. War is an ugly business and not for the squeamish. It requires a degree of viciousness most do not possess and is best left to those equipped to deal with it. I write this as one of those as George Orwell said “We sleep safe in our beds because rough men stand ready in the night to visit violence on those who would do us harm.” To my brothers who continue to stand upon the wall “Semper Fi”.
- Tyler
My main point in the bulk of the blog is that if Islam truly is the religion of violence which is what Neo-Cons are trying to say to justify an all out war with Muslim people to somehow “rid ourselves of terrorism,” then there would be much more violence throughout the world than there actually is and the percentage of violence in the world attributed to Islam would be much higher than it is as well.
The instructor who I borrowed the English Qur'an from is a Muslim and I knew him fairly well for the 4 months I had his class before we moved on. He was a really nice guy and was more than glad to discuss our spiritual differences in a civil manner. He was great at answering my questions about the average Muslim person and even told me that Ramadan is not practiced as strictly in his particular household and there are times when he forgets to pray as often as he should, but because Allah is “all merciful,” it's not some kind of huge crime as far as he is concerned and still feels that he is Muslim because he sticks with the main 5 pillars of Islam.
There are also several Muslims women and men alike at my college and we are able to talk spiritual and cultural differences with no problem. Heck, I even tell them that certain parts of their religion and culture are weird to me making fun of them in the process and they simply reply that our culture is funny to them and poke fun at us too. To each their own really.
People of the Islam faith from my own personal encounters aren't any more smug about their own religion being superior in their eyes than Christians or Jews or anyone else who's religious is. Smugness kind of comes with the territory of religion which is one of many reasons I don't subscribe to one.
- Acidock
So once again you don't provide any facts. You just keep making stuff up.
Epic fail once again for you, Tyler, the Islam apologist.
- Acidock
Exactly. A lot of car accidents happen that I don't blame Islam.
However, most the world's terrorism that has been happening this decade is brought to by Islam.
Muslim terrorists using the Qur'an for their terrorist acts.
- Acidock
Really? Why don't you show me how it is faulty. Of course you have, like a little child, threatened to not post to me, but you seem to want to keep showing that you are a Islam apologist.
Islam is Islam. Muslims are committing terrorism using the Qur'an as their guide.
- Tyler
If you're not trying to rid the world of Islam, then why are you posting all the Anti-Islam propaganda?
I've already stated my purpose, so I guess I should ask what is your purpose?
- Acidock
Google is your friend.
- Acidock
That's the problem. I don't buy into your claim that you are a Libertarian. I see you as part of the Paul/Kucinich brigade.
- KeninMontana
This sums it up for me, http://www.americanthinker.com/2004/12/rough_me…
I make no apologies for myself as I am who I am, as the creator made me and my parents raised me.
- Tyler
Once again, you say that most of the acts of terrorism are because of Islam, but I'm pretty sure the billion person starvation going on in Africa which has been happening a lot longer than just the past decade by the way has nothing to do with Islam and I'd have to say that's a much bigger crime.
Governments are the largest terrorist organizations on the planet, but nobody really seems to take that into account either. The very fearmongering that you and so many others have fallen victim to is an EXAMPLE of terrorism, so…I'll say what I said for your other outlandish claim.
Show me some evidence and I MIGHT believe you.
- Acidock
You : “…then there would be much more violence throughout the world than there actually is…”
What an alarming and staggering comment. I'm getting the suspicion that you converted to Islam at one point in your life and that is why you go out of your way to give excuses to Islamic terrorism.
- Acidock
To stop Islam apologists like you from giving radical Muslims cover for their terrorism work.
Just the Islam apologists came out of the woodwork to try to give cover to Nidal Malik Hasan.
Just like they did with the Christmas day bomber and the countless of others who have been busting in just in the short time Obama has been in office.

I know you can't wrap your head around, but it is true. The majority of terrorism in this last decade has been committed by those following Islam.
You can try to use semantics all you want, but that is not going to change anything.
- Tyler
I absolutely agree that those who are actually committing terrorist acts should be gunned down as well. Personally, I think the Geneva Convention is just a bunch of crap that was produced to prevent anymore large scale wars from ever happening again. After all…is there really any doubt that we could flat-out DESTROY these guys if we TRIED?
To clear up the mud about Muhammad…I'm not condoning pedophilia, but to make the claim that he was a pedophile without looking to the Bible is disingenuous, there was a lot of pedophilia by today's standards going on in the Christian Bible as well. Not to mention that it was just within the last century that OUR OWN COUNTRY raised the age of consent above 10. Early marriage and early sex was very common for all cultures throughout the world for a very long time because the average life expectancy was not very high.
As far as the violence Muhammad committed, you have to look at the historical context of what was going on at the time. The Christian Crusade was going on during that time and the Christians had a very imperialistic mindset intent on conquering Muslim lands. It was constant disputes for territory. The Muslims would try to take Christian lands and vice versa. So…it seems that depending on who you talk to, the Christians actually started that holy war and the Muslims were just following suit in defensive warfare.
To clarify so that MAYBE I can prevent one of Acidopholous' nonsensical insults…this is NOT JUSTIFICATION for terrorism nor is anything else I've posted thus far.
- Acidock
It is very strange how the lefties and the ronulans both believe 9/11 was an inside job. Both want to see Bush brought up on war crimes. Both believe in the “new world order.” Both believe (might be the same thing) in “PNAC.”
I don't know if the lefties buy into Alex Jones, but it would seem the ronulans seem to.
Both are antisemetic.
And both are Islam Apologists.
- Tyler
I don't know anyone other than other criminals who said “Hey…he had a good reason,” about either of those particular acts of terror.
I think there's something panambas actually touched on. “Double speak.” In other parts of this, you say there's no such thing as “radical” Islam. Then…in this very statement here…you say “radical” Muslim. Since there is no such thing as “radical” Islam, then how can there be such a thing as “radical” Muslim?
This is where your logic goes completely to crap. My opinion is that you and many of the people who think like you are watchin WAY too much Fox News. Obama's not taking “Islam” out of the counter terror strategy to prevent hurting the terrorist's feelings. He's doing it so that MAYBE we might gain some COOPERATION from the PEACEFUL Muslims who ALSO want the terrorism to stop.
- Tyler
I'm also a bit of a conspiracy theorist in the sense that I just don't buy the official story that there was actually some kind of “slip up” in intelligence. Shortly after these 2 incidences some major violations of our civil rights happened.
1.) NSA partnering with Google to monitor our internet activity.
2.) Full naked body scanners used to dehumanize people at airports.
- Tyler
Still waiting for some evidence. Tick tock tick tock.
- Tyler
I already tried that the second you said it and have found NOTHING to the effect you just mentioned.
- Tyler
If you have the facts, then please present them.
- Tyler
Whatever, man. I've made some pretty good small government points on other threads here, so I think my own record of speaking out against big government stands out pretty well to show that I'm a Libertarian.
- Tyler
Nah. I stopped being religious a long time ago when I reached what I call the “age of reason.”
Terrorists GIVE THEMSELVES the excuse to act as they do. They don't need apologists which is why I find it funny that my defending a religion's right to be a religion granted by our 1st Amendment is somehow looked upon as “giving excuses to Islamic terrorism.”
Truly Muslim people will tell you that the terrorists are NOT ISLAMIC, but COMMUNIST. They use the Marxist philosophy of saying and using anything and everything they can to achieve their end means.
You don't have to be a Muslim or an “Islam apologist,” to see that people can easily lie to their teeth about what they are in order to gain a wider support of people for their cause. That's NOT ISLAM, but COMMUNISM.
- Acidock
More staggering bull from you. Muslim terrorist are communists? No, they are Muslims who are following in Muhammad's path.
You've drank the Islamic Kool-aid.
- Tyler
If you ever actually listen to Alex Jones, he's completely against fascism in ALL forms whether it be governmental OR religious. He's also addressed the way Obama's treating Israel and also addressed the way that Obama's handling Iran poorly. A lot of his news is essentially the same mainstream media news, but bringing in what he feels is important from all sides and then adding in anything he feels they left out.
Personally…what better way to distract people and plunder what little wealth they have left and implement global taxation which will plunder the sovereignty of our great nation than to make them worry about the “big brown boogy man?”
People have too much of a habit of listening to people with “authority,” who'll tell them that this stuff is all “conspiracy nonsense,” but much of what's happening today Alex Jones & Ron Paul predicted LONG before anyone else did and everyone called them nutjobs. Now it's happened. Wanna listen or just keep brushing them off? Your call.
Since you have no real arguments left besides insulting me, I'm gonna get off of here and check back later for some actual substance…maybe some actual facts to support your ridiculous claims…or something like that.
- Acidock
No double speak at all. Islam is Islam. There is no radical Islam.
Not all Muslims are terrorists. Not all Muslims actually followed Muhammad's path.
- Acidock
You : I don't know anyone other than other criminals who said “Hey…he had a good reason,” about either of those particular acts of terror.
You need to get out more. I have read nothing but excuses from the Islam apologists.
- Acidock
You : I'm also a bit of a conspiracy theorist
Yeah, I know. You already told me you follow Alex Jones.
On the lefty blogs they think that Cheney was involved in order to put the heat on Obama.
You are all quacks.
- Tyler
Of course. Gaining support under the false pretense that this is “Muhammad's path,” and “Allah tells you to…it's in your Qu'ran,” is EXACTLy what a COMMUNIST organization would do.
- Acidock
You say that you do your own research because you don't believe anybody. Now is your time to shine.
It's not a hard exercise for you. It's not like there is a secret second Web of hidden delights.
You preach your game that you doubt historians – whether they be Muslim or not.
Quite shooting an empty gun and stop being so lazy.
- Acidock
Alex Jones is a quack.
- Acidock
It is so typical of Islam apologists. You could quote Islamic texts to them all day, but they claim that they are not true. Do they offer up other ideas? No.
Have they ever read any of these texts. It doesn't seem like it, because they could hardly argue that Muhammad was a peaceful guy. Even the wiser Muslims know that we (non-Muslims) have access to their texts and they know they can't lie about what their own scholars have said. Hence, they come up with a excuse on why Muhammad butchered and murdered people.
It is amazing how many posts some in this thread spent denouncing the two videos. But bring up Major Nidal Malik Hasan and they scatter back to the shadows.
Islam apologist are famous for trying their hand at misdirection. We've seen this in this very thread. Earthquakes, communists, oh my!
It is also amazing how they claim to do their own research, but they can't be bothered buying any books or spending any time looking at the different texts that are on the Web.
Nor can they be bothered looking at the 1000's of video that are online of Muslim clerics calling for the death of infidels.
Everyday Muslims come up with a new sleight that angers them. So much so that they threaten violence over it. And who is there to cover for them — the Islam Apologists
- Jaynie59
Ask these nice Muslims you claim to know one question: Is killing in defense of Islam allowed?
If they say the Koran condemns the murder of innocents, that's true. You then need to ask them to define “murder” and “innocents”.
Nevermind. Your specific reference to an “English” Koran tells me that if you are not a Muslim yourself, you are sympathetic to its propaganda.
Have a nice day.
- Acidock
You've gone off the deep end. I keep pointing out that Muslim Islamic scholars also discuss (for centuries) Muhammad's path.
Read some texts before you go on. You are being a dope now with your communist conspiracies.
You are lame.
- Acidock
I thought I should mention something on a lighter note. It is boob day all over campuses and the Web. Groups are starting on Facebook.
Today is Boobquake 2010.
Today is Boobquake, an event started by American University student Jen McCreight in reaction to a Muslim prayer leader’s announcement that promiscuously dressed women cause natural disasters. Quoted by the Iranian media, Hojatoleslam Kazem Sedighi said, “Many women who do not dress modestly … lead young men astray, corrupt their chastity and spread adultery in society, which (consequently) increases earthquakes.”
- KeninMontana
The story of “the prophet”'s pedophilia (sp?) comes from his own writings, not the Bible. Here is a link to a translated Quran or Koran if you like http://www.jihadwatch.org/quran-commentary.html
- KeninMontana
muhammad died in the year 632 AD,the first crusade was launched by Pope Urban II in 1095 AD.
- principledpilgrim
Related, did you happen to see this link I posted earlier. The women are always the problem b/c the men can't control their lust.
http://americanvision.org/2010/post/civilizatio… - Tyler
So…what you would be saying then is that it's NOT ISLAM which is the problem…but the “examples of the profit,” being only PART of Islam which is the problem. This is what I'm guessing now based on what you're saying here.
- Tyler
Seeing as how you called my posts “excuses,” then I'm not too sure how many of those “excuses” you've heard from others are actually that.
- Tyler
I don't follow the actual conspiracy theories like gospel. I just follow the trails of civil rights violations done all in the name of “fighting terror,” to rationalize that something isn't right about this so-called “War on Terror.” The intention is to keep our troops there. The purpose…I'm not sure, but the way we “police the world” instead of fighting a real war makes me feel like there's just something about it that doesn't smell right.
- Tyler
You were the one to make the claims, so that's why I suggested you show me the evidence. I haven't found anything supporting OR unsupporting yet. I'm waiting to either find that on my own or for someone who's apparently had as many “experts” say the things you claim maybe present some sort of evidence to me.
- Tyler
I'm aware that he was a pedophile by today's standards. I'm pointing out that such thing was fairly common at the time throughout the world and even just as recently as the last century in America, the age of consent was 10 years old.
- Tyler
My bad. So far I've only found accounts of Muhammad's actual violence being one of a man leading a group of people to find a “place to call home,” and of course having to lead an army to capture this new home. I'll return if I find anything new on it.
- Tyler
Gee. I apologize that I can't read Arabic, but I'm pretty sure I wouldn't find a huge difference if any even if I could.
I have read for myself however the repeated phrases stating that one shall not attack unless they are attacked upon first. Self-defense is all the Qur'an says.
I'm not sympathetic to any propaganda and the point of it all is that there is clearly a difference between whack jobs who pervert or just plain misinterpret their own passages in the name of a religion and those who simply practice a religion and leave others to do the same.
- Tyler
Yeah. That's why totalitarian countries are so afraid of his reporting that they BAN his website.
- Tyler
Uh huh. Alright. I know I said this before, but I'm gonna stick to it this time. I'm done playin with you and I'm gonna move on to other areas of interest. If I've opened anyone else's minds to look at this from a broader perspective than the fear of Sherka Lerka Durka Muhammad Jihad, then great. If not…then hopefully fusebox will start workin, so the lightswitch can actually work for ya.
Acidopholous…I'll even make a quote unquote “formal announcement,” so you won't have to waste anymore of your time either just because I know you wanna LAVISH in the thought.
I'm an Islamic apologist and I feel that the acts of terrorism are properly justified by the Islam religion which is full of hatred and violence, but quite alright with me.
That sentence was filled with sarcasm, but the way you distort information, I'm sure you'll have no problem accepting that as some sort of “victory” under your belt against the “apologist agenda.”
Have fun cowering in your bunkers waiting for the turban guys with swords to come storming to your door. Hahaha.
- Acidock
That's a good link, principledpilgrim. The author, Bojidar Marinov, nailed it on a few points. This whole concept that Muslim men aren't responsible for their actions because the women 'should have known better' and covered up her face or lock of hair.
And the sense of entitlement from when they were young boys has many of them growing up to adulthood having temper tantrums if they don't get there way in any endeavor. That would include discussing Islam.
Nonie Darwish makes that point very clear in one of her books. She stated, that in her country of birth, boys as young as 10 years old were bullying all females, including their mothers. She went on to explain that this caused so many problems in family relations that it is always a disaster in the making.
Ayaan Hirsi Ali also explained the exact same thing in her book. Ali got a little more personal and talked about how her brother could bully all females without any consequences. That, again, would include her mother and aunt(s).
You hear this all the time from Muslim clerics. There are so many cases of it, but one really sticks out in my mind. That was the cleric in Australia, who already outraged the world in many of his claims, who stated that if women got raped it was there own fault if they were in public and not covered from head to toe. Added to that he suggested that the deserved to be raped if they swayed their body when they walked. I'm sure if he saw a burqa on a 2×4 he would screech about the 'temptress.'
Sheik Taj Din al-Hilali called them “uncovered meat,” and when on to make the dbag of himself again with this statement “If you take out uncovered meat and place it outside on the street, or in the garden or in the park, or in the backyard without a cover, and the cats come and eat it..whose fault is it – the cats or the uncovered meat? The uncovered meat is the problem.”
Rape by Muslim men is epidemic in many cities in Norway and Sweden. Not only are Muslim women being raped at staggering numbers but any non-Muslim women living near the Islamic enclaves also have to be completely covered up or they will be attacked.
Since rape is an attack of violence and control over a woman rather than sexual desire I can see how young Muslim men learn from a young age to bully women. It is back to that entitlement again. In Islamic countries that follow the dictates of sharia the proof for the women to make a charge of rape is almost impossible to prove.
A woman claiming to have been raped will need to produce to the Sharia court four male witnesses to prove her case against the rapist. If she cannot produce four witnesses, her case turns into a chastity crime and is thus punished accordingly. Alternatively, she may be punished for making perceived false accusations. Also, at least one school of jurisprudence considers pregnancy sufficient evidence for sexual misconduct, so if a rape victim becomes pregnant and she cannot prove the rape, she can face lashing or death by stoning.

An Iranian women talks about the rape and prison time she had to endure in a three minute YouTube video.
Iranian student arrested and imprisoned for three years, because she refused to wear a Islamic head scarf. After two years in prison Nazanin was then beaten and raped five times.

If you aren't the least bit concerned about this then go back to sleep. But perhaps you should check out the term “dhimmi”, just so you'll know what to expect when you wake up.

If your theory is correct then crime rate in Saudia Arabia should be twice as much as in America .Unfortunately its the other way around .In america 3 rapes per minutes .One of victims out of 10 killed for hidding the evidence .In Saudia this may be one per mont or two maybe .
And the part for bringing four witness is again false and part of propaganda against islam .Today the easiest and most successfull thing to do is to advocate against islam sidelining all merits and just bring out negatives .Tell me ! there are more than 10 million prostitutes only in europe ,most of them forcibly made into one .Does any one higlights that as greatest abuse of the world no because it just doesnt belong to islam it belongs to your own culture area .
Holy prophet Mohammed ,when used to go on a war used to pray so that God helps him not to destroy the green leaves branches of tree even .Targetting women children ,old men. unarmed is prohibited in Islam .I callenge you ,give me one example when Holy porphet won a battle and ordered to kill all ,abuse all .You dont even know him ,why he is one who was able to change history page two folds.look at Ghenges khan murders and his stacks of skeletons but is a chinese hero not so musch controvercial for you .
Stop Targetting Islam just because you have been told to do so by media , open your mind ,see that some one is trying to hurt you and Islam .Muslims are in the worst in the whole world they are fighting for there survivals .and see who is benefiting .this whole thing is a conspiracy two targets with one shot .No white man's power no muslim power and the third element wins .Besides give any secret agency a billion dollar and they can come up with terrorist of any religion .
I know I haven’t done much posting this weekend but I have been doing some research on Islam. I actually never intended to go down this road and honestly can’t remember what exactly put me on this path on Friday, but I do know that it led me to this remarkably revealing video set by PJTV on Islamic infiltration within our own government. Yeah, I know it sounds absurd, but that is not even the half of it.
In these two interviews by Bill Whittle of PJTV, conducted in January of this year, you will hear some things that you won’t believe, things that you never thought would happen within our government. He interviews two whistle blowers, both who remain anonymous and have intimate knowledge of the the inner workings of our national security. One is a former analyst in the Department of Defense and the other is a former special agent with the FBI.
You will hear things like the fact that the Muslim brotherhood has been here since the 60′s and have been preparing for Jihad in America by placing groups on every college campus. You will hear that the FBI consults with groups like CAIR, an extremist front group for Hamas, to train their FBI agents on how to deal with the threat of radical Islam. And there’s so much more. Again, I know this sounds absolutely absurd, but just give it a listen. These are credentialed people giving this information to us because they want us to know the truth.
Listen to both videos, because the information they uncover just gets worse and worse to the very end. This is honestly a road that I would love for Glenn Beck to go down, but I fear it is too much for even him. I look forward to your comments:
