Most Muslims Are Moderates? So Frigging What.
Michael Totten does the math:
My Contentions colleague Abe Greenwald takes a gloomy view of a new Gallup survey that shows 93 percent of the world’s Muslims are moderates. “We need to find out from one billion rational human beings why they largely refuse to stand up for humanity and dignity instead of cowering in the face of fascist thugs,” he wrote.First of all, I’d like to agree with Abe’s point that even this sunny survey suggests we still have a serious problem. If seven percent of the world’s Muslims are radical, we’re talking about 91 million people. That’s 65 times the population of Gaza, and three and a half times the size of Iraq. One Gaza is headache enough, and it only took 19 individuals to destroy the World Trade Center, punch a hole in the Pentagon, and kill 3,000 people.
Oh yeah, and the difference between the Jews living in Israel and the Muslims? Which ones cheer when the others' children die.
Repost from earlier thread. A good moderate muslim story.
This has got to be the worst story about islam I've ever heard. It is breaking on Hot Air right now. Here's just the headline, "Horror: Man beheads one-year-old in Saudi grocery store."
This ought to make any human being physically ill.

Well, that's what happens when you put all that candy next to the checkout counter.

The IAF needs to fly over Berlin monthly just to let them know that we never forget the holocaust victims and seek avenge for a thousand centuries.

The vast majority of Americans are not politicians and don't want to tell me how to live my life.

Do the anti-abortionists that blow up clinics or kill doctors speak for all christians? Do you think they are analagous?

There are very few Christians who blow up abortion clinics...maybe a handful, and preachers are not standing up on the pulpit every week preaching death to non-Christians.
I get so tired of this example being trotted out. I'm not a fan of any religion, but Christianity isn't a death cult. Islam is.
