"Unfortunately, all too often "Islam" and "terrorism" are juxtaposed in news reports and editorials. A word search on news stories published in major newspapers over the past decade shows that reporters are hundred times more likely to associate Islam with terrorism or militancy than all other faiths combined. Such lopsided portrayal is indicative of deep-seated misunderstandings about Islam, and sometimes just plain prejudice. Surely all terrorists are not Muslim, neither are all Muslims terrorists."

Sorry, I just GOTTA post it.
Q. What goes clip-clop clip-clop clip-clop BANG BANG BANG clippety-clippety-cloppety-clippety-clippety-cloppety ?
A. An Amish drive-by shooting !
Full Disclosure: also Weird Al Yankovic's Amish Paradise.
Cheers!
IOW, don't hold a government that sponsors terrorism responsible.
It will always require a stern response.
Like a good talking-to by Dad.
However, it will never be defeated through force alone.
Maybe not, but so far force is the only thing that seems to have any effect.
It will have to be fought ideologically by attempting to win the hearts and minds of those vulnerable to terrorist manipulations.
So let's try the Ann Coulter solution!
9-11 made it OUR responsibility!
We will fix it! Even if it means nukeing their cute little satan worshiping death cult into radioactive vapor!
The EUSSR is engagomg in doublespeak again. Is there an altavista babblefish translation for this phrase?
"The abberations within the Muslim religion and culture which result in this kind of insanity are not our responsibility." Comes as a shock to this apologist for Satan's swarm, but the insanity in Islam is PRECISELY their responsibility because the average Islamacist supports the Saudi madrass approach to brainwashing the young and the avergae Islamacist remains quiet while demons do these evil things in their name. It IS their responsibility to deal with this if they don't want it to remain the centerpiece of their demonic cult.
EU officials say that the guidelines, which are not legally binding, will ask European governments to shun the phrase "Islamic terrorism" in favor of "terrorists who abusively invoke Islam." Other terms being considered by the review include "Islamist," "fundamentalist" and "jihad."This first of its kind effort to separate terrorism from its perceived roots is laudable.
Oh I get it now. The jihadists who repeatedly USE the word jihad for the Holy War they have declared cannot be called jihadists. Gotcha.
I've NEVER heard that it is .01% of muslims who are radical. Generally the apologists claim it is only 10-15%.
And I see they've bumped UP the number of muslims worldwide from 1-1.2billion to 1.4billion.
So .01% (.0001) of 1,400,000,000 translates to 140,000 hardcore terrorists of the type who attacked the WTC twice and regularly blow up parts of Israel. Feel safer yet?
The pioneering instigators and the largest purveyors of suicide terrorism are the Tamil Tigers of Sri Lanka, a Marxist-Leninist group whose members are overwhelmingly Hindu.
How do their numbers of hijackings of airplanes compare with those of muslims? Talk about pioneers.
Diego Gambetta in "Making Sense of Suicide Missions" calls suicide missions "the high-precision artillery of the militarily challenged" yet they all have a strategic objective.Pape writes, "From Lebanon to Israel to Sri Lanka to Kashmir to Chechnya, the sponsors of every campaign have been terrorist groups trying to establish or maintain political self determination by compelling a democratic power to withdraw from a territory they claim."
Pay attention. This is what the "Atzlan" La Raza-ists are claiming. That this is Mexican/indigenous peoples' land and we are invaders.
CAIR is not our friend.
Please tell me you didn't just figure that out. ;)
I absolutely detest CAIR and everything it stands for.
Governments in Muslim-majority nations, religious establishments and the lay community have a vested interest in fighting back to isolate and marginalize the terrorists.Hidden from our headlines are on-going efforts to do just that.
MAKE it the headline issue or else you ARE bowing to the terrorists you claim to hate. I have yet to see peace marches protesting terrorism that anywhere come close to the number of people rallying against the 12 cartoons.
Who are they kidding?
Watch http://www.obsessionthemovie.com/ to see the face of Islam they deny exists.
Didn't a CAIR exec. get exposed supporting terrorism?
Thanks for the link. I will watch first thing in the a.m.
Maybe if there wasn't a DEATH PENALTY in Islamic nations for people who convert away from Islam, I might consider them a peaceful religion.
They are a cult that does not allow deprogramming.
Yes. Can't give you a link right now, but you should be able to find pretty easily on Google...try anti-cair.com or org (I forget which). CAIR has ties to Hamas.
Islam is a direct threat to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
I don't believe that you can view that movie online. And they are still seeking a distributor.
I saw it at a film festival a couple of weeks ago.
I don't think that CAIR will be happy with it. BUT there are some sites that sourced much of the footage in that film (not the interviews, but the clips referenced).
Using http://ets.freetranslation.com/ and going English --> French --> English --> German --> English, it still and again makes no sense:
The not burning word treasure to discuss Radikalisierung
