There Is No Such Thing As Radical Islam

Post Orlando, odd posts popped up throughout the web, hostile to Christians, even blaming Christians for motivating the massacre at Pulse. How odd, I thought, the gay community is so focused on its low level persecution by Christians and Western Civilization that it can't bring itself to see the people who not only perpetrated the massacre but, claimed glorious credit for it. Then it occurred to me, when we analyze events and threats, we use our own personal probability models. Even though Christians in the US can do little more than shout names at the gay community, the community is 100% certain the Christians condemn them emotionally. Muslims, on the other hand, just murdered 49 and wounded scores more gays. But, to the gay community, the odds of being killed by a Muslim are so small that they ignore the improbable, no matter how deadly and, focus on what they see as a sure thing, even though it's little more than an irritant.

Strange but, apparently true, the Calculus of Self Deception.

    Or, if they are outnumbered and cannot prevail, to conceal their religion and/or intentions until they attain sufficient numbers to prevail.

    It is Muhammad's word. Deceit is holy in the name of conquest.

    I agree re the cheap energy and tough, dangerous work. I did some time underground, hard rock though, not coal. Less dangerous.

    In Wyoming we just dig huge pits and haul it off or, we did, until the war on coal.

    I had other individuals, like Obama and Kerry in mind as those that avoid the term. They have no solution for what to do about the 3.3 million Muslims in the US so it is far easier to pretend that Islam has nothing to do with the problem and, like Mr. Thompson, hop the s**t doesn't hit the fan until they are gone.

    Taqiyya, I leave to believers that profess to dismiss a large part of the Qur'an to infidels.

    "coaldigger" comes from being raised in Southern WV and our HS mascot was a coaldigger. My father was in management and never worked below ground but my father-in-law was the son of immigrants and he was a miner. It is tough, nasty and dangerous work but the cheap energy and steel resulting from coal is one of the main reasons for the greatness of the US.

    Coal;

    Do you mean they're conscious of their lack of knowledge or, they're engaging in taqiiya - deceiving the rest of us to hide Islam's true nature?

    BTW, given the war on coal that's driving so many companies to bankruptcy, are you still a coaldigger?

    I believe that this is why certain individuals do not use the term because they know, if asked, they will not be able to delineate the division between the ordinary and the extreme.
