The mainstream media and the Obama administration, like the media and governments in many Western countries, goes out of its way to excuse Islamist terror, and actively paints a picture of Muslims in the West victimized by supposed Islamophobia. This tendency is bolstered by the corresponding refusal to acknowledge Islamist terror for what it is, substituting euphemisms or generalities to cover what are clearly murderous acts done in the name of Islam. Most ludicrous of all, is the penchant -- particularly by Barack Obama -- to discourse theologically about the “religion of peace.” In fact, this refusal to accept reality not only excuses Islamist terror, but encourages it, and makes any reform within Islam next to impossible.
Take the recent example of the Muslim Ohio State attacker, Abdul Razak Artan. Artan blamed media for negative reports about Islam “…that put that picture in their heads…” which led to his insecurity at the university, a place where he was “…kind of scared….” Thus he rather neatly portrayed himself as a victim before attempting to murder a dozen people by running them over and knifing them. Artan’s victimized ideation was probably a fantasy since it is highly unlikely that at Ohio State he received anything but deference to his religious orientation, and explicit negative descriptions of Muslims in the American media are quite rare. More likely the mainstream media’s and the Obama administration’s false hysteria about supposed Islamophobia is what gave Artan the idea to paint himself as a victim.

If he gets together with Putin and together they decide what to do. Yes.
No but he can push them into the ocean.
I love Mr. Trump but I doubt he can do that. Reform must come from within. Other than that, all we can do is keep them out of our country and keep an eye on the freaks already here.
How do you fix that?
Push the button.
Reform is HARD when your go to book says enslave or kill everybody!!!
What if Jesus directed us to kill muslims? How would we “work around” that?
We just need to push Islam to the margin. Certainly ofically recognize that Islam in the US is sedition and tamp it out.
No. And he shouldn’t even try - a waste of time.
Just keep them out of our country. In their own country they can do as they wish.
Obviously, that can't happen. So the answer is: NO. It cannot be reformed.
Sorry, liberals. There's only 1 interpretation of Islam — Muhammad's
True, true.
Islam cannot be reformed in any meaningful way and still be Islam. It can only be eradicated.
The writer misunderstands
the evolutionary reform to Islam has already happened
the wacko radicals at AQ and ISIS are actually counter reformation
I read it on Free Republic and agree completely
rofl
What about those that are already here, and what about those that are converting, or have converted to Islam?
How you been? :)
I’m actually doing very well. And yourself?
As long as I have a job and FR is up, I’m fine :)
Islam cannot reform unless it abandons the Koran and Mohamed. Forced conversion has always been the Islamic way.
