Islam Is NOT Being "Distorted" By Extremists
As this CNN story below contends, and as so many contend.
The extremists are actually getting Islam exactly right. The Quran commands Muslims to convert or kill the infidel, which is what they're doing, in hopes of reaching the ultimate goal: overthrowing governments (violently is fine, if need be, although breeding like rabbits and taking over is fine, too) and installing The New Caliphate. From the CNN piece by Manav Tanneeru, who, like so many "journalists," promotes the fraud that the violence of Islam isn't the real face of Islam:
Esra'a al Shafei, a recent university graduate in Bahrain, is young, Muslim and frustrated.The 23-year-old says the complexity of who she is as a Muslim is being distorted by extremists and the media coverage of them.
The problem is, so many Muslims are illiterate (a reported 80 percent) and even many of the literate ones haven't read the Quran, which is supposed to be taken literally -- as is everything the violent, child-fucking Mohammed did.
Yes, Muslims are supposed to emulate this lovely guy, and do -- marrying and fucking children, murdering "infidels" for Allah, and doing all manner of creepy stuff. (For the uninitiated, Mohammed married his wife Aisha when she was 6, and molested/had sex with her when she was 9.)
In a bit of recent news from "The Religion Of Peace," here's a piece from JihadWatch on three Christian pastors who were murdered when they refused to convert to Islam:
"They...cut their heads one after the other and thereafter, shouted allah akbar in wild celebration accompanied with several gun shots"
Welcome to The Religion Of Pieces -- the reveling over the chopped off body parts of anybody who isn't an Allah-bot.
It's really odd to read this and have a muslima.com website ad on your site, advertising itself as the Muslim international matrimonial website...

For those looking for more of "the real scoop", check out the book "The Blood of Lambs", by Kamal Saleem. He was a member of the Muslim Brotherhood (and later the PLO) from around the age of 7 (smuggling guns into Israel/Palestine was his first "assignment"). He now speaks and writes against Islam and terrorism. It has some Christian themes in parts (sorry Amy!), but is a phenomenal (and scary) read.
It almost reads like a James Bond novel, but he's been throughly investigated by the FBI and spoken at venues both religious, secular, and governmental.
If you can't find the book, check out www.koomeministries.com.

If anyone has ever looked at the numbers, I bet statiscally you could get the majority of the terrorists/ radical Islamic out at about age thirty if you could give them an out.
Realistically, at about age 23-25 you start to lock in your personality. About age 30 you start to wise up. You either become locked into your dogma, or realize there is more gray. If you can get to them at that time, you could probably "rescue" them.

Agreed! Amy, it's a bit of a pain in the ass, but if the Muslim marriage ads bug you, it IS possible to screen out ads you dislike while still using google advertising. I had a blog for a while, and it drove me absolutely bonkers to have ads for "Cougars seeking young studs" or "FatGirl Love". It took me a couple of hours over the course of a week or so, but I managed to eliminate the really irksome ones.
