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.

For example: "Islam is the religion of peace."
Plus everything he said about Obamascare and transparency.
Caution: Sometimes he tells the truth just to throw you off his game.
Two examples all about socialism~
1. "Fundamental change."
2. "I want to spread the wealth around."
The position of Islam is: The Holy Quran is the word of Allah transcribed accurately in every detail and thus, cannot be revised, nor can Muslims pick and choose between its verses. It's all or death.
I respect the Jihadi's for being honest. They are doing exactly what their religion orders them to do. Just as I don't respect Christians who lie cheat and steal, I don't respect people who say they are Muslims but, don't participate in Jihad. Muslims who don't kill are as hypocritical as are Christians who do kill.
I simply don't understand why someone swears allegiance to a book and religion but, doesn't follow the instructions in that book and of that religion. I tend to think of them as either hypocrites or liars. Since Islam orders them to lie about their faith, I assume most Muslims who aren't yet Jihadis are simply exercising taqiiya prior to becoming Jihadis.
The New Testament is, of course, a call against action, a call for infinite tolerance and passivity.
I'm not a Biblical scholar so, I don't know where or, how many times the Bible instructs us to kill gays. Do you?
Much Islamic practice stems from the Hadith, which is a very long collection of first hand accounts of how Muhammad instructed people to interpret the Quran. A full Hadith is around 4,000 pages. My abridged edition is 900 pages. My Quran is about 250 pages. The Quran is much easier to read with a Hadith, so you can look up whatever topics interest you, then be directed to the correct verses.
My Muslim driver used to drink beer with me but, give him enough beer and the inner Muslim came out. I once asked what he'd do if his imam told him to kill me. He said "If Allah orders me to kill, I kill." It seems always to be about the unthinking obedience to the dying words of a seventh century tribal chief disguised as a religious prophet.
Islam without the elements of totalitarianism and strict adherence to the words of Muhammad would not be radical. Remove the adjective and you imply that all Muslims who practice their religion in any manner are evil.
I wonder if there are as many calls for the death of gays in the Koran as the Bible, which also demands the death penalty.
Actually arabic is NOT what I spelled , it is the english version .... And I really dont care that I am a lazy typist ... In addition, I don't care about your quote ... do you want to talk about the Irish Slaves of the Carribean?
You are a pompous ASS and incorrect on so many things ... including my Irish heritage and the FACT, that I am NOT Islamic.
You didn't recognize or understand the quote, did you? No self respecting person of Irish descent would miss that quote.
Funy, to you if Islamic people dont speak out against terrorism thay are supporting terrorism, if they do speak out.... they are lieing...
Most Islamic scholars practice taqiiya. All other historical sources say I'm right. Muhammad wanted in on Mecca's religion industry but, nobody wanted him so, he dreamed up his own religion and tried to wedge it into the dozens of other religions in Mecca. He made no progress, got angry and declared all the others false gods. That's when the Meccans threw him out.
Your religion was a scam that turned into a book of bloody revenge.
Read my rather long post on Medium. It gives a humorous take on Islam's founding. The facts are real. That is really how Islam evolved, from a religious scam to a violent conquest. It sounds ridiculous but, it's true. The post is about how I think we might end the Jihad, not by killing them all but, by allowing them to see how ridiculous their founder was.

It would seem that if they got rid of all the stupid violent stuff in the Quran...the book would be half it's size. The funny thing is the OT and some integrations was originally the basis of the Quran...then, somewhere along the way...all this anger, violents, hatred built that faith...if you take all that away...you've got Christianity or Judaism...so why invent something new when the work, the knowledge and the concepts were already their. That's why I think that maybe they did not originally come from the same roots as the rest of us...silly maybe but how else do we explain the differences between us. (of course I am speaking of brain set or the Mind...if some have achieved one.
I have more respect for the Jihadis than the apologists. At least the Jihadis are honest.
It's on Levin TV now.

EP82 | Mark interviews Dr Zuhdi Jasser about the fight against Radical Islam
Dr Jasser discusses the American-Muslim fight against Radical Islam in the face of Western ideas of freedom and the theocratic mentality of Islam.
About 10 years ago I had a Lebanese engineer named Hussein, who seemed happy and easy going until, he married a much younger woman back in Lebanon. He continued working for me in Africa but, each time he went home, when he'd come back he seemed more and more disturbed. He refused to talk to anyone about what was wrong.
After awhile he began spouting Jihad until none of the Westerners could stand to be around him anymore. He eventually came back from leave, very upset, and quit, to kill Israelis.
We never heard from him again. I can't prove he became a Jihadi and, I can't prove it was because of an unhappy marriage but, that was my thought as it was happening. Something was going wrong in his marriage and his way out was to become a martyr.
I think that's the problem with all Muslims. Martyrdom is their way out so, even if they seem nonviolent, if something goes wrong in their lives, their way out is to die while killing infidels.
It's as I said, Muslims fall into three groups: Observing Muslims, Fallen Muslims and practitioners of Taqiiya and, individual Muslims move between these groups as their lives and circumstances change so...
...none of them are safe to be around.
The fact is that all of islam is extreme...however, all muslims do not follow it extremely...don't know how they ignore all the harm commanded of them but clearly there are a small percentage that do not buy into it. Our problem is how can you tell which is which prior to their commitment of violence.
