NOW and others are hiding from this issue too.
It is a sad commentary on American intelligence that only about half the country understands Islam is violent. It preaches violence. It rewards violence. It only survives where freedom is destroyed.
I guess 50% of the country connects all of the killing that Muslims do in the name of Islam, and the childish justification they give for it with "violence". The other 50% will have their heads cut off before they give in to the politically incorrect notion that Muslims are any more violent than the Amish.
The muslims in the US appear to be moderate, but make no mistake, if they were a majority here, we’d have sharia law and I’ll give you a few guesses as to how they would treat infidels, women and other religions here.
This so called religion of peace only has one reputation, one of death, submission, rape, and conquest.
I really don’t think that reputation is at stake.
In truth, plenty of Muslims do not agree with the horrid treatment of this teacher. The author of this story should have done a little checking. It took me two seconds to pull these up.
The Muslim Canadian Congress is organizing a teddy bear mail-in to protest Sudan’s imprisonment of Gillian Gibbons, a British schoolteacher.

Multiple Muslim groups in the U.K. have condemned the sentence. Even the popular little boy in Mrs. Gibbons’ class who suggested the name for the bear came to her defense, explaining that he named the bear after himself.

What would it mean if CAIR said all the right words?

Considering that this is an empirical fact, it is a wonder that the vast majority of Americans (and everybody else) doesn't recognize it.
Yes, it's a wonder. Less than half? I'm disappointed it isn't close to 100%.
Many males in Mexico are named Jesus.
And they ain’t teddy bears.
err... That train left the station a long time ago.
Now the only question is that now that we 'understand' enough about this 'cult' -- what do we do about it?
Are there Muslims who regard the depredations of the radicals with horror and disgust? Of course there are - I know a half dozen or so. CAIR doesn't want to know them. They aren't useful enough.
What of all the British parents who’ve named their spawn Mohammed this year! Seems the crazed mobs aren’t doing their job! Beatings should be scheduled for weekends, so that parents can be stoned and not miss work!
Not really. Islam's well-deserved reputation for inhumanity and savagery would be hardpressed to get much worse. This latest incident is just one of countless similar ones.
I’d like to hear from Rick Warren and his slew of evangelical “leaders” who have been cozying up to the Muslims. Surely, this incident with this poor teacher is worthy of comment and condemnation.
Muslim denial thrives in the absence of reformation.
That is, violent, evil Islam can get away with this nonsense because no one has ever created a written reformist doctrine to contrast with violent, evil Islam.
If someone, anyone were to create a reform version of Islam, then the debate would change. It would make being Muslim an either/or proposition.
When a Muslim would scream that “Islam is the religion of peace!”, they would immediately be accused by non-Muslims of being a “reform Muslim”. Which they would then deny.
But then, the non-Muslims would say, only reform Muslims embrace peace. So either you are lying, or you are a reform Muslim. Orthodox Muslims are violent and evil. So are you violent and evil, or are you a reform Muslim?
This would help to create an inherent schism in Islam. Unless Muslims embraced the doctrines of reform Islam, then they could be condemned as violent and evil, precisely *because* they were not reform Muslims.
In turn, this would kill much of the lying and hypocrisy, because they would be afraid to lie, lest they be accused of being a reformist.
As far as the reformist doctrines themselves, they would turn existing doctrines on their ear. Mohammed would be said to have NEVER embraced or endorsed war or violence, because he was a pacifist. And women have equal rights in all ways with men, and can dress any way they want. And pork is fine to eat as well. Dogs make good pets, and should be treated kindly. Non-Muslims are just as good as Muslims, and should never be treated unfairly. Jews are the friends of Muslims.
Even worse than what you say - the bear was named after the prophet, not the god. When they do it to defend their god, I find it amusing that they think so little of the god that it needs humans (I use the term "humans" loosely) to defend it.
These are the "moderate" Muslims.
The radical Muslims are out there killing not chanting about it.
