I've always winced when I've heard people say Islam and Muslims are not peaceful and that the religion itself breeds hate. I don't like to clump everyone into a negative stereotype like that. But the events in Africa and the Middle East have lead me to a new conclusion. Islam is not a peaceful religion. I saw a man say that the producer of the "film" should be tried in a Sharia Court and then executed. I've seen millions lash out over a short film, yet none...not one...Muslim has protested the deaths of innocent people. I'm sorry it has come to this, but my mind has been changed. Islam and Muslims are violent people and their actions against humanity should not be tolerated. I'm not calling for genocide, but the days of negotiation are over. Either they repent and repudiate the hatred and violence that permeates their religion and their people, or they will become outsiders in a world that gravitates towards peace and tolerance.
Well, now that you've decided that we can all go to sleep and not worry about it anymore. Good job all, starting tomorrow we all do as ksu tells us.
In case you haven't picked up on that, I was being ironic.
I share your perspective to some view...
I believe that the islamic elite and the islamic main voices in the world are stuck somewhere in the equivalent of the Christian XIIth century... at the time of the inquisition and all the horrible things that have been done in the name of God. Where any differentiation from the dogma would be punished by death and a condemnation to hell for etenity.
I also believe that islam has no place in the western world. Not until it passes through an Enlightenment of its own. That is what caused Christianity to become the good, proper religion we have today. The only problem in Christianity is the evangelicals and the idiots it produces that get to be players in the important fields of life... like politics... michel bachmann and the other woman from alaska... whats her name... the one with the disfunctional family.
At any rate, islam is a threat to the west in the same way a cockroach is a threat to a giant. sure it can crawl up and die in your food causing you indigestion for a few days, but eventually, it is just capable of doing that. I do however see no reason why we should have cockroaches in the kitchen and why we shouldn't dispose of them. A ban on most immigration, except cultural exchanges and educational immigration (people coming to school from the arabic world to the western world) should be put in place effective immidiatly followed by a massive deportation from Europe of all muslims. Including the moderates. Why also the majority of muslims which are moderates? Because of the risk of radicalization. The moderate muslims, clear thinking and decent, need to go back home, straighten the **** out over there and by that way, earn our trust in them, and their religion of peace. Otherwise... no dice. We should allow educational immigration in order to give youngsters a chance to develop properly and after they return to their homes, for them to act as leaders in their communities.
Just letting people inside developed countries without any form of control and regulation is just stupid and ineffective as it can be seen in countless upon countless of examples all over Europe and the US. The desire for integration and participation to public life must exist in people prior to their emigration. Otherwise... it is pointless.
