Oh your statistics and facts

About how being bigots against all Muslims actually aids terrorist networks.

P'shaw! If there's one thing Americans do well, like every democratic republic, it's scapegoating! (See various periods of French, British, Italian and, of course, German, history). And dammit, Muslims are but a small break from the present war on Hispanics, so just lie back and enjoy the "freedom".

“The more mosques you stop, the more jihadis we will get,” Zabihullah predicts.

lefty talkers in media are failing to point this out:

Feisal Abdul Rauf of the Cordoba Initiative is one of America’s leading thinkers of Sufism, the mystical form of Islam, which in terms of goals and outlook couldn’t be farther from the violent Wahhabism of the jihadists. His videos and sermons preach love, the remembrance of God (or “zikr”) and reconciliation. His slightly New Agey rhetoric makes him sound, for better or worse, like a Muslim Deepak Chopra. But in the eyes of Osama bin Laden and the Taliban, he is an infidel-loving, grave-worshiping apostate; they no doubt regard him as a legitimate target for assassination.

For such moderate, pluralistic Sufi imams are the front line against the most violent forms of Islam. In the most radical parts of the Muslim world, Sufi leaders risk their lives for their tolerant beliefs, every bit as bravely as American troops on the ground in Baghdad and Kabul do. Sufism is the most pluralistic incarnation of Islam — accessible to the learned and the ignorant, the faithful and nonbelievers — and is thus a uniquely valuable bridge between East and West.


this undercuts all of the "wahbi militant" BS the right is spreading. not even spokespeople from islamists groups like cair are making this clear.

CAIR can't take that particular approach.
CAIR is an extremist org and can't actually admit to the existence of a more moderate Islam.

CAIR is an extremist org

So says the extremist.

Olives and Arrows said...

Dan, your view is very skewed. An extremist to you is anybody close to the center or more clearly anybody with a viewpoint to the right of your uncle Josef. In other words, the majority of Americans are extremists in your fantasy world.

CAIR, AIPAC, et al
