"Our religion does not teach to kill innocent persons," said Jafri, 47.

Exactly 6 years ago today I may have believed that. A lot can change in a mere 24 hours ...

Your religeon has a poor reputation because a large sect of it beheads people and blows things up. Why don’t you concentrate in reigning those people in instead of trying to convince us.

Your religion teaches that Infidels can and indeed should be killed, raped and robbed in the name of Allah. So cram it, Taqquiyah-boy.

“Addressing the crowd after the march, Sheik Mohammed-Umer Esmail of the North Austin Muslim Community Center quoted the Quran: “Whoever kills a person unjustly, it is as though he has killed all mankind.””

This is what I hate. It’s all dependent on the term ‘unjustly’ there. Well, elsewhere it’s defined as being just to kill an infidel that doesn’t convert when called to.

Talk about quoted out of context!

Talk is cheap. When the elusive “moderate muslims” start turning in the islamofacists among them then I may entertain some belief as to their peaceful aspirations.

And there's the catch! You see, in islam, those who are not moslems (aka "infidels" - Christians, Jews, Bhuddists, atheists, agnostics, practically everyone...), are not considered "innocent persons".

On Sunday, about 130 people rallied at the Capitol to declare themselves peaceful and denounce acts of violence committed by extremists in the name of Islam.

The concept of peace to Islam.

It’s pathetic that they are doing this 6 years after 911. They should have done it before 911.

Even then, they only found 130 people who would go along with them, and I wonder what portion of them are actually Muslim.

"We as Muslims are responsible for making it known that Islam does not condone terrorism," McKenzie told the crowd.

Great news, McKenzie! Help expose them. Help kill them. Create a show or a website called "Muslims Most Wanted" /sarcasm

I do not accept that Islam is “nonviolent”. I do however accept that a lot of Muslims just cannot bring themselves to accept the real heart and core implications of the unvarnished teachings of the Koran, which is the requirement for all believers to advance Islam by every means possible, even violence.

Putting aside the absurd notion that you can convert a person’s inner beliefs by force, Islam furthers group think by the concept of the Umma, the Borg-like idea that once you are part of Islam, you cannot leave, no matter what else you might come to believe as being true. No “Religion of Peace” is very peaceful if it teaches that its members have a duty to kill anyone who disagrees with it.

Thus, people who practice Islam must be very conflicted in side, especially given that the Koran states Allah can change His mind at any time. While the God of the Bible says that He does not change and that no one jot or tittle of the Law will be done away, Allah says he can “abrogate” anything he dictated in Mecca and replace it with anything he likes at Medina. see 2:106

also see http://jihadwatch.org/islam101/ Search for “abrogation”

University of Texas student Javeed Bora, 21, said he joined the march to counteract the poor image of his religion.

If you want to counteract that image, I suggest you talk to your Muslim brethren and convince them to stop committing the atrocities that have fostered that image. I'd suggest wearing a knife-proof collar while you're there.

Islam's nonviolent teachings inspire march

WTF??

Must be talking about these:

1. Don't beat the cat any more than necessary.

2. Same for your wives.

3. Everything and everyone else not covered by non-violent teachings 1 and 2 are fair game.

Stinking lying raghead SOB's.

I read a remarkable travel book, written by a Scot who crossed Afghanistan only months after the Taliban fell. The fatal error westerners make is assuming our words mean similar things...peace to us carries an entirely different meaning than achieving peace in Islamic terms. Peace in Islamic terms can mean when Islam has been accepted by all.

"Whoever kills a person unjustly, it is as though he has killed all mankind."

Note that it doesn't say this is a bad thing.

Wow, a whole 130 out of a population of about 10,000 muslims in Austin.

How underwhelming.

"Sharida McKenzie recently heard someone on a cable news show say that Muslims in the United States rarely stand to denounce terrorism"

Another thing: she only RECENTLY heard this? She lives under a rock? This statement is disingenuous.
