That about says it all. Until the mosques of America wrap their heads around this and fight it, the backlash against good honest Muslims with increase. No amount of government apologies will convince the average man on the street that they are not their enemies.
Good Wikipedia article on Mosques in America. Pretty balanced.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_American_Islamic_Trust#Financing_mosques_and_Islamic_schools
@Joe, yes. The good Muslims have the duty to clean their house, to correct their bad Muslims. They are leaving it up to SWAT to do their homework and that is ugly.
Have read the Koran and it is insistent the all “good” Moslems are to hate and smite unbelievers. The Radical Islamist mentality is explicit in the book. For you lefties who moan and cry about prejudice I say READ the Koran.
“Good Christian Shock and Awe”, a few hundred thousand folks who did nothing to us blown away. That’s no reason that those driven from their homes, after their families and loved ones have died, and their cities leveled, should be upset. And this goes back to “western” interference since the destruction of the Ottoman Empire, nearly a full century ago. Of course British interferrance in Afghanistan goes back even further.
Also, the majority of Christians in Japan had been removed to Nagasaki by the government, making it an excellent alternate target for above ground nuclear testing, right? Sometimes intelligence failures aren’t about I.Q..
leftwing:So, by your thinking, the radical Islamist mass killings are no big deal? Just like a lefty to veer off the subject and bring in that not being discussed to advance your agenda. Try staying on subject next time. Strange post, yours.
Muhammad Ali left this world two weeks ago.………………….. After the September 11 attacks in 2001, he stated that “Islam is a religion of peace” and “does not promote terrorism or killing people”, and that he is “angry that the world sees a certain group of Islam followers who caused this destruction, but they are not real Muslims. They are racist fanatics who call themselves Muslims”. In December 2015, he stated that “True Muslims know that the ruthless violence of so-called Islamic jihadists goes against the very tenets of our religion”, that “We as Muslims have to stand up to those who use Islam to advance their own personal agenda”, and that “political leaders should use their position to bring understanding about the religion of Islam, and clarify that these misguided murderers have perverted people’s views on what Islam really is.”……………………https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muhammad_Ali

“We as Muslims have to stand up to those who use Islam to advance their own personal agenda”
It’s a real shame that’s not happening. Unnecessarily complicates things.
