'Moderate' Islam's PR nightmare
NY Post ^ | October 06, 2010 | Editorial

Posted on 10/06/2010 3:11:48 AM PDT by Scanian

Faisal Shahzad had one last moment in the spotlight yesterday before being shipped off to a lifetime behind bars for his attempt to explode a car bomb in Times Square last May.

Not surprisingly, he took full advantage of his soapbox and captive audience.

"Brace yourselves," he warned, "because the war with Muslims has just begun. Consider me the first droplet of the flood that will follow. The defeat of the US is imminent and will happen in [the] near future."

First droplet?

Sorry, Faisal, but that war started on Sept. 11, 2001.

And most New Yorkers get it.

Still, Shahzad now will have a long time to pursue his perverse fantasies of America's demise.

While he rots away in prison.

"We are proud terrorists, and we will keep on terrorizing you," the Pakistani-born immigrant told Judge Miriam Goldman Cedarbaum. "If I'm given 1,000 lives, I will sacrifice them all for the life of Allah."

Dream on, buddy. Better off dropping the visions of glory and start considering how truly tedious life on the slow boat to martyrdom is going to be.

Shahzad claimed that, in rigging a car with explosives in the heart of the theater district -- after receiving training and money from the Pakistani Taliban -- he was acting in accordance with the Koran, which "gives us the right to defend, and that's what I'm doing."

There were millions of Moderate Germans during WWII, making guns,bullets, grenades and tanks. They never intended to shoot anyone. They were, indeed, moderates.

These poor German moderates ended up being bombed into ruin. Never stand between Americans and a radical and claim your a moderate. It doesn't fly here.

I know there are “moderate” pit bulls for sale, the owners swear they are a peaceful loving species.

I forgot about the Moderates in Nagasaki and Hiroshima making guns and bullets. Poor moderates. They always seem to get the raw end of the deal. Life just isn’t fair.

America is a different country.


Perhaps, but there are TENS OF MILLIONS of our liberal countrymen who are wracked by guilt. That guilt drives these people to want to accomodate, even surrender to, this evil. To them, a mosque at Ground Zero makes perfect sense, both logically and morally.

Unfortunately, they don't. The evidence that they don't is that they voted for the likes of Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, and Chuck Schumer AFTER 9/11/01.

He sounds like a courageous terrorist with his threats, but the fact is he didnt have the balls to stay there and set his bomb off correctly.

Which is the good news.

Americans know the problem , we know about Islam, our problem is that our leader and Kenyan President is either clueless to the Muslim problem or he is a part of that problem.

I have my thoughts on that, and so do many other Americans.

How can you tell a moderate muzz from an extremist muzzie?

The moderate throws smaller rocks at the woman they are stoning to death.

Hat tip to ManCow.

There is no such thing as moderate Islam, anymore than there is a moderate Catholicism.

There are however Muslim and Catholics alike who do not follow the tenets of their respective religions.

Have you ever heard the term "Moderate Catholic"? How about a lapsed Catholic or a non-practicing Catholic?

What possible psychosis drives us to delineate that which cannot be delineated?

I hate to admit it, but from my perspective it is like a black comedy watching American continue to get punked by this good cop-bad cop game that Muslims continue to play in the West. They help perpetuate the myth that you have made up in your own minds, but each one of them plays their respective roles.

** Osama bin Laden - Bad ... Imam Rauf - Good **

Bad Muslim - Good Muslim --- Bad Nazi - Good Nazi

Joseph Goebbels could have learned a thing or two from the Muslims, but in retrospect, it was the Muslims who learned from the Nazis.

I really dont understand why this is so hard for Americans and the West to comprehend...

The West might not be at war with Islam, but Islam is at war with the West. WAKE UP !!

A moderate mohammedan is one who only beheads and/or suicide bombs three times a year.

Or one that uses a remote detonator, instead of a thumb switch.
