This is an important point. Even though the jihadis are mostly Sunnis and are killing other Muslims (Shiites and Alawites) as well as kaffirs, they are supported by the majority of Muslims.
They say they are killing on behalf of Islam and because of Islam, and that's exactly what they're doing. Meanwhile, our leaders run out to protect "innocent" Muslims and protest any thought that Islam might be involved.
Until there's some heat on the "innocent" and theoretically non-violent Muslims, there's no reason for them to oppose the jihadis. And probably a lot of those who are not jihadis themselves are scared of the jihadis, and we haven't given them either enough pressure or enough support to stand up or even mildly speak out. Notice the resounding silence from the "Islamic community" on the Kenya attacks.
Life has got to get difficult for Islam in all civilized countries and they have to know they are being watched and will be tolerated only as long as they behave and play by the rules. Instead, you have idiots like Cameron saying that the Kenyan jihadis were really offending Islam because "as we know the religion isn't like that," or some such nonsense. It is like that, and we have to make them deal with it.
...”Until there’s some heat on the “innocent” and theoretically non-violent Muslims, there’s no reason for them to oppose the jihadis.”....
I don’t see that happening any time soon nor in the future...where’s the heat going to come from????.... Certainly not from among them ....their silence continues to speak volumes on pretty much all terrorist attacks.
They unite to bring veils and wash basins into our culture..but they do not do so to oppose the Jihadists....until they do anything they say is simply hot air gone in the wind.
