Michael Medved Blames Islam
Michael Medved talkshow (radio) | now 01 Oct 2001 | Michael Medved Show (radio)

"Not all religions are the same. They're not all good."

"Christianity [is good and] should be contrasted with Islam and its impact."

"On what basis could you justify suicide mass killing everywhere."

He claims it's justified in Islam (by Bin Ladin) because the US is seen as a warzone, just as bombings in Israel are justified by Islamics, even those who condemn the WTC attacks because Israel is a warzone.

Unfortunately, too many people react on impulse and emotion.
I hope that an anti-Muslim backlash does not develop where innocent people are harmed. It makes our argument meaningless.
But! -- How in the world can anybody read what the Quran says about non-Muslims and not feel threatened?

"Although most muslims are not terrorists, most terrorists are muslims !" .

Although most men are not terrorists, most terrorists are men.

Although most people are not terrorists, most terrorists are people.

Although most young people are not terrorists, most terrorists are young.

Although most dark haired people are not terrorists, most terrorists have dark hair.

The sad truth:

Which ratio yields the largest number:
1) Muslim terrorists / Muslims

2) Male terrorists / Males

3) Human terrorists / Humans

4) Young terrorists / Young

5) Dark haired terrorists / Dark haired people

Reagan was trying to be insightful and cute at the same time. Cut him a break.

I'll believe that Islam is a peaceful religion when I see a MAJORITY of clerics around the world denounce terrorism. That ain't even begun to happen.

Compare the first 300 years of Islam with first 300 years of Christianity. DO you see now?

OK the first 300 years of Christianity the Romans were killing Chrstians. The first 300 years of Islam, the Muslims were killing Christians. It took about 300 years of Muslim wars and aggression before the Christians woke up and started the first Crusade.

If there are no more Islamic people there is no holy war. Just a thought.

I heard someone on CSPAN yesterday, on Book Notes... forget his name but he was pretty good. He said that in the Crusades, the Christians asked for and were granted dispensation for killing others in wars. The Muslims were promised paradise for killing their enemies. Think about the difference.

Good point. Another point, how can any Muslim read what the Qu'ran says and not want to kill Christians and Jews? If they want to be "good" Muslims, then they must never take a Christian or Jew as a friend and must strive to either forcibly convert them, drive them from the land, or kill them.

So Muslims are evil, hey Pericles? You actually agree with this guy?. I think Hitler also said that Jews were bad, and such statements remind me much about that mentality.

Hey bluestar!

Is there any record of Jews doing physical harm to the Germans before Hiltler wrote his Fatwa or even advocating it five years later? There are lots of Muslims who want us dead, and it would appear that they are making themselves known. Where were all the "Good Muslims" when Khomehni was holding American hostages and pronouncing us "The Great Satan"? Where were all the "Good Muslims" when Khomehni called for the murder of someone who wrote a novel? Pretending to care now, like Yasser Arafat, doesn't cut it.

The problem as I see it is that few Americans are willing to actually take a close look at who our enemy is here. They somehow think that there is some way to appease these people. Maybe if we stopped our support of Israel, maybe if we close our bases in Saudi Arabia. Actually the only way we are going to be safe from these people is if we install an Islamic Government here in America and institute Islamic Law. Until then we are the Great Satan, because we are great and we are not Islamic.

This is a religious war. It is not because we are a Christian Nation that these people hate us. It is because we are not an Islamic Nation. Don't let anyone convince you otherwise. Until we recognize our enemy the majority of casualties in this war will be our own. Burying your head in the sand and pretending that the majority of Muslims in the world mean us no harm is stupid. They only wish us no harm inasmuch as we are Muslims. If we are not, then we are the enemy.

Wake up people. The Barbarians are at the gate.

"I think Hitler also said that Jews were bad, "

That's pure moral equivocating. If Jews had been running around killing innocent civilians in five figure quantities, and if their most orthodox practicioners had declared a worldwide war on the gentiles until every one of them were dead - to the cheers of Jews all over the world - then that evil crazy old bastard would have been right. But, as it would appear, fundamental Islam has more in common with Nazism than Judaism.

"Allah" is not the God of the Jews and Christians. It is a great deception that has been poured out and believed by many, including the Pope. But do not be deceived. Hasn't anyone ever wondered about the moon symbol on Arabic flags and emblems? Allah is the god of the moon. Mohammed was instructed by an "Angel" (Satan is known as a "being of light") to destroy all 360 temples in Mecca EXCEPT for the temple to Allah, the moon god.

I believe everything he says. Islam, in all forms, either openly supports this or turns a blind eye to terrorist attacks. PERIOD.

#11: Yes, but it's not politically correct to state the truth by our leaders. I'm very worried about the fact that our President embraces leaders of Islam.

Let me suggest that you research this for yourself. Read the Bible, read the Koran. Then compare. The truth will throw itself at you and you won't need someone else to tell you whether they're the same or different.

Try it.
