Muslims are Victims of Hate and Terror

Pro: "You can not hold prejudice against Muslims because of the acts of terrorists in another nation." "When I was in Holland, the idea was, all cultures are equal and all are to be preserved. My idea was, no, all humans are equal, but not all cultures are equal." -Ayaan Hirsi Ali --- Ayaan Hirsi Ali, ex Muslim woman- "Why are Muslims being "preserved" in some time capsule of centuries gone by? Why is it okay that we continue to live in a world where our women are compared to candy waiting to be consumed? Why is it okay for women of the rest of the world to fight for freedom and equality while we are told to cover our shameful bodies?" "Can"t you see that we are being held back from joining this elite club known as the 21st century? Noble liberals like yourself always stand up for the misrepresented Muslims and stand against the Islamophobes, which is great but who stands in my corner and for the others who feel oppressed by the religion? Every time we raise our voices, one of us is killed or threatened. .".". What you did by screaming "racist!" was shut down a conversation that many of us have been waiting to have. You helped those who wish to deny there are issues, deny them!" " What is so wrong with wanting to step into the current century? There should be no shame. There is no denying that violence, misogyny and homophobia exist in all religious texts, but Islam is the only religion that is adhered to so literally, to this day." "In your culture you have the luxury of calling such literalists "crazies."" In my culture, such values are upheld by more people than we realise. Many will try to deny it, but please hear me when I say that these are not fringe values." "It is apparent in the lacking numbers of Muslims willing to speak out against the archaic Shariah law. The punishment for blasphemy and apostasy, etc, are tools of oppression. Why are they not addressed even by the peaceful folk who aren"t fanatical, who just want to have some sandwiches and pray five times a day? Where are the Muslim protestors against blasphemy laws/apostasy? Where are the Muslims who take a stand against harsh interpretation of Shariah?" --- Walid Shoebat, ex Muslim- "What the West does not understand about Islamism is that Jihad is very systematic. It has stages. If Muslims have the upper hand, then Jihad is waged by force. If Muslims do not have the upper hand, then Jihad is waged through financial and political means. Since Muslims do not have the upper hand in America or Europe, they talk about peace in front of you while supporting Hamas and Hezbollah in the back room. The whole idea of Islam being a peaceful religion emanates from the silent stage of Jihad." "To this very day, Muslims do not view peace treaties in the same way that most people understand a "peace-treaty." To the Muslim mind, treaties are not binding agreements, but rather opportunities to grow stronger or buy time or to appear peaceful while preparing for war. But make no mistake, making peace treaties with the infidels simply for the sake of peace is never the ultimate goal. The only goal of Islam is victory over the whole world." "Westerners do not understand that when it comes to the Muslim world, even the most "moderate" of Muslims, if they are religious, all believe in the coming of the Mahdi and the establishment of the Caliphate to rule the entire Globe by changing world laws to adapt the Islamic Sharia. The coming of the Mahdi to religious Muslims is as holy of a belief as the coming of Messiah is to Christians and Jews." *The Mahdi is the Islamic "messiah" who comes to destroy all nonmuslims. When Muslims see certain "signs" they are to all join and fight the nonmuslim world to usher in the coming of the Mahdi. It is a deadly apocalyptical viewpoint, which unlike the Christian apocalyptic view is not ushered in by God, but by Muslims themselves. If God does not exist, the Christian "apocalypse" is no threat. The Muslim "apocalypse" is a threat whether God exists or not. * "In Saudi Arabia, among other countries, Muslims are not free to convert to Christianity, and Christians are not free to practice their faith. The Koran is not a rights-respecting document." -Ibn Warraq, ex Muslim --- According to Middle Eastern scholar Daniel Pipes, since 9/11, there have been 27,000 attacks globally connected to Islam. This number certainly dwarfs all other terrorist attacks worldwide by non-Islamic groups. http://www.danielpipes.org... http://www.danielpipes.org... --- 96% of those on the FBI terrorist watch list are Muslims. This is a glaring stat. Less than 1% of the American population are Muslim. http://www.frontpagemag.com... --- Sunni Muslim terrorists committed 70%of the terrorist murders in the world in 2011. cnsnews.com/news/article/sunni-muslim-extremists-committed-70-terrorist-murders-2011
