Interesting discussion.
Cizero: how do you know that, in moderate Muslim countries, public opinion is not against Islamic terrorism?
Did you know that Iran, which is a Sharia law country, issued, through its foreign ministry, a statement, condemning in the strongest terms, the terrorist attack that took the life of a French priest, a couple of days ago?
Not that I have a lot of respect for Iran's human rights record, but...
Did you know the target of the Kabul suicide bombers (a couple of days ago)? Hint: it was a demonstration against the Taliban.
I wonder if Pew published its methodology. Everyone keeps tossing this 25% number, as in Muslims in the US who support suicide bombings. What does that even mean? Let's take 3 Million, as the base number of US Muslims. If 25% support suicide bombings, why haven't we had 750,000 suicide bombings in the US?
We've had some attacks, but the most prominent one, points to a disturbed individual, US native, who claimed his attack on ISIS allegiance, when all the signs point to him being a psychopath, confused about his sexuality. By and large, the Muslim community, native and immigrant, in the US, religious or secular, pledges allegiance to the US, and all it stands for. Today, on the closing day of the Democratic National Convention, a Pakistani immigrant spoke. The topic: his son, a US Army Captain, who was killed fighting Islamic extremists, and he's only one of dozens of Muslim US soldiers killed, fighting Islamic terrorism.
Islam's holy book (and additional texts), is like other religious books: full of contradictions, sometime violence, sometime peace, and mostly stuff we cannot relate to in the 21st century. Big surprise! Can you relate to the Old Testament? How about the New Testament's concept of owning slaves?
One of the OPs, is from Tunisia. Why isn't Pew up to speed on what happens in Tunisia? How about Lebanon? How about Turkey? How about pre-Iraq invasion Syria? How about pre-invasion Iraq?
One of the idiots I debated on SW, earlier today, used the term "raghead". I asked what that meant, and the moron claimed that this is a term that refers to all Muslims and that they are all terrorists, as indicated by their headdress.
I pointed out to him, that the headdress, is cultural/regional, in parts of the Levant, and that in those parts, both Christians and Muslims wear it. That would be less than 10% of the Muslim population.
So, once more, are you certain that Islamic extremism, is not protested in Muslim countries?
Of course you believe what you said, because you don't see it covered in the Western press. I get my information, by reading it the regional press, in both Arabic and Hebrew. I never see it covered in the Western press.
To the Tunisian poster: Kudos for doing your "revolution" the right way. I've never been to Tunisia, but it's on my bucket list.
