Nigeria kidnapping: 60 girls and women, 31 boys said to be abducted

[GandD 5,966]

If I have to assume you're only talking about radical Islam when you post pictures like the one earlier, can you not assume most Muslims do not consider themselves linked to these extremists any more than all Christians are linked to Catholic Church sex scandals?

The graphic implies radical islam, but I know you lefties want to control all speech and thoughts. Let's clarify that only about 25 percent of islam are out there perpetrating crimes against humanity and that you have stated here that you do not consider yourself to be a part of their looney tune party.

And where does it imply radical Islam? All I see is some middle eastern dude with a knife talking about Islam.

There are more people here in the US killing and torturing human beings that aren't associated with Islam.

It's really sad what's going on in the world of radical islam today. Bombings, beheadings, mass murder, kidnapping, and all sorts of crimes against humanity. It's time to take a stand against it. Are you prepared to condemn it Marvin?

It would be most helpful the non-violent 75 percent of Islam to stand up and say: "We're mad as hell and were not going to accept the other 25 whacko percent who claim to be a part of our faith to speak for us and to murder in the name of our God. We are in fact so mad about them killing and murdering in the name of God that we will speak out against them whatever chance we get"

We are standing up. I've posted these links before, but you ignore them.

Don't know if you've noticed but I'm a minority. Fighting injustice is my day job.

Isn't radical Islam by it's very definition religious conservatism? Like, they want to control everyone's morals to make them line up with their interpretation if their holy book. Usually super conservative values.

DIdn't you call Expat out on his desire to torture and murder people?

I said it before, Sharia law is what conservatives secretly want, they just don't want it called that.

Man if that does not get him banished to Netherlands nothing will . Now I am curious. You were smart and edited the reply, Will it cause such an overreaction they delete your xxxxxxxxxxxxx's also ?

Now we know.. My edited post is a goner.

[DavenRoxy 1,073]

Yet this distinction is never made here. Comments are black people or muslims. It's never some or a few, or even whoever it is at the moment. So why is it when a white Christian goes on a killing spree, we never say white people or Christians? This is only used when it's a group outside of the majority.

Pucky. First of all, you did not answer his question, you deflected. Second, it's not always generalized when it's about minorities. For example, I have never said all blacks are race-a-phobics. But you certainly seem to be.

I get it that you think you need to stand up for muslims everywhere. But considering you only recently adopted the religion, and only because you wanted to marry a muslim woman... do you really have enough experience with the religion to talk about it at length? I mean, I got it that you are proud to be muslim, nothing wrong with that. But you seem to want to twist many comments about islam just as you do those about race. I guess you don't see it when it happens, but I know a few people here have gently tried to open your eyes in an effort to make you a more rounded, well-liked individual.

[DavenRoxy 1,073]

What's truly ironic? By comparison, I'm more compassionate and less violent than the very folks speaking out against black and muslim people.

Link, or it never happened...

[Darnell 8,479]

and the problem with many Muslim countries is they have Religious extremist people running the country. If some of our more fundamental religions here in America, could pass any law they wished, I shudder to think what we would become.

The toe in that door got smashed.

Just think what the US would 'be' now if

those 'faith-based-initiatives' that George Jr. wanted actually passed the House and Senate and became law.

I'm so happy it was thrown out.

http://georgewbush-whitehouse.archives.gov/government/fbci/president-initiative.html

I would slip sideways, though, NB, and suggest that instead of 'Religious Extreme-ist' people running the country -

They have Religion running in parallel or on top of the country...

Mostly, we don't do that in the USA... Not to the Level done in Iran, no sir.

DIdn't you call Expat out on his desire to torture and murder people?

I said it before, Sharia law is what conservatives secretly want, they just don't want it called that.

I'd be happy to see Sharia Law fully adopted in Mexico, first, as a test case for North America.

Can? Yes? Please?

Yes I did. Do a thread search. There isn't a single thread that has a black person that doesn't delve into the entire race. It happens every time. Would you like a few examples?

Blacks jump on people

Blacks don't wear belts

Blacks don't know how to read

Blacks only live in the hood

That's just within the last week or so, if you want me to go back further, let me know.

I've said a few times, I'm a neophyte when it comes to Islam. My family is more versed in the Quran. But I know enough to say they're not advocating the murder of non muslims, as it's been claimed here.
