Who's killing Muslims? - CNN.com

Well, if spilling Muslim blood is the deciding factor for us Muslims to decide who we should take vengeance against, then al-Ansi and others in al Qaeda should immediately go into hiding. Simply put, al Qaeda has been slaughtering Muslims for years. Islamic clerics, doctors, nurses, women, children, etc. -- you name any type of Muslim, and al Qaeda has butchered them.

Irony?
 
It is neither ironic or surprising. Ideology does not like competition, neither does the extremism form of an ideology.

Al-Qaida, ISIS, Boko Haram or whoever else needs to rule through fear and intimidation, and that includes dealing with other Muslims that do not willingly go along.
 
Hello,

Sadly, the violence in their religion is so inherent that they accept countless murders in the name of Islam without any real introspection at all. I guess when you wallow in blood up to your eye balls things get a bit cloudy.

I have always told numerous people that it's going to take orthodox Islam's part to step in and take control over the "out of control horses" pulling the coach.
 
Pretty much what I've been saying all along. The only thing that can stop islamic extremism is muslims getting off their asses and actually addressing the issue. Change has to come from within, and unfortunately most muslims are very tolerant of this type of behavior and many are even sympathetic to it. I don't expect change anytime soon.

This is true. Trying to create some hybrid of Islam and liberalism to combat terrorism, is a cure (astronomically) worse than the disease.

That's what you wrote; I wrote something entirely different. :neutral:
 
Low information xenophobes cannot distinguish between nihilists who use religion as a sword and shield and peaceful people who subscribe to a religion. Hardly news, let alone breaking news.

which is the definition of terrorism, isn't it?
If we're really going to fight a "war on terror", then we need to know the enemy. Islam is not the enemy. People who would rule through fear and intimidation are the enemy.

And how is that different from what I wrote?

Go back and reread what I wrote and then reread what you wrote; they're not exact. :shrug:

So you're just disagreeing for the sale of being disagreeable. Noted.
 
But maybe if their hypocrisy is consistently laid bare then it might help all understand the true motivation of these terrorist groups and hopefully even give pause to any Muslims thinking of joining their un-Islamic cause. After all, al Qaeda and ISIS aren't interested in upholding the principles of Islam. They are focused only on power, however many Muslim lives they take.​

This is key.

Idiots who think they are joining these terrorists to "advance Islam" are completely missing the facts.

As others have said, this is why OTHER Muslims need to step up and be heard.

The Muslim terrorists are far more dangerous to Muslims than non-Muslims.

Including "liberalism" in this discussion is an EPIC FAIL on your part.

It's why people tend to ignore most of your posts,

I would have to imagine the ratio is even worse for ISIS.

Yeah, that would logically follow, given their larger scale of activities.

fear and intimidation, perhaps.

At some point, isn't enough enough already? After the Paris Charlie Hebdo attack, there were many more moderate Muslims condemning the attack, but yet no Muslim organizations from which I've heard that are organizing and buying weapons to combat ISIS. Would seem that the fundamental insurgents would have an insurgency against them of their own, wouldn't it?

I'm sorry that you do not understand at what I already explained back in post #4. :shrug:

Greetings, Dragonfly. :2wave:

In thinking the choice over, I have to admit it could work with me, death being so final and all! :mrgreen: I feel sorry for those put into that position, though. I kinda like my neighbors, and wouldn't want to see them or their families harmed. How do they deal with that? :shock:

Although I agree, I don't know if they have what it takes to do it. That religion is quite different from Christianity, eventhough they are both Abrahamic. There seems to be a bit more emphasis on submission, while in Christianity, it is stressed that man has free will, and must make that choice himself. That may not seem like a big deal at first glance, but if you look at how it influences the individual's sense of self and his freedom and will to act independently, I think it makes Christians generally more inclined toward actions based on personal perceptions of right and wrong, and individual sovereignty. I tend to view Christians as more of a large group of loosely connected individuals, who have some common beliefs, but who individualize the religion to their own circumstances, but Muslims seem to be more cohesive as a group, and more dogmatic and regimented in what they believe, which I suspect tends to make it very difficult to rein in the radicals, as they don't want to offend one of their own. Christians don't generally mind offending other Christians.
