So exactly how much have time have dome of you small minded people spent in company of Muslims?

Having taught for many years in a school where 30% of the students are Muslim, and taught Religious Studies to mixed groups of Christians, Muslims, Sikhs and those of no religion, the descriptions of Muslims presented here are totally alien.

The Spanish Inquisition claimed to be Christian. The Aparthied movement in South Africa claimed legitimacy through Christianity.

They were wrong in the same way that the current corruptions of Islam are wrong.

I write as one who believes in God, but follows no religion.

Preston…I think the culture wars in the U.S. are much greater now than they were in the 90’s. Just look at the illegal immigration issue for example where millions of people, republicans and democrats alike, are upset with the current situation. People are upset because illegal Mexican immigrants are overloading the health, education and welfare benefits system to the detriment of citizens. You throw in Christianity as the bad guy again and I’m rea,l real sick of Christianity being the whipping boy all the time.

I have to agree with Econotarian in large part…socialism is its own reward. However, you don’t see people in Norway or other socialistic countries rioting like they are in France. What’s different in France is the multicultural effect on top of the failure of socialism.

Multiculturalism isn’t the problem, it is labor regulation policy. Why aren’t Muslims rioting in the U.S.? For that matter, why aren’t Latinos rioting in the U.S.?

The problem in France is the high unemployment, especially of young immigrants (30+% unemployment raging in the Muslim “ghettos” of France) due to French labor restrictions. The country as a whole has had an unemployment rate of near 10% for quite a while now, and of course the younger, less skilled, and less connected folks have a harder time getting into the few job opportunities available.

Socialism is its own reward.

Dianne- remember the 90’s and the ‘culture wars’? Buchanan, Robertson, Bennett and others all piled on against multi-culturalism in favor the superiority of Anglo-Saxon Protestantism which was credited for bringing us the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence.

Surely you understand that all Muslims are not â€˜Islamofascistsâ€™, right?

Actually, I don’t know that.

But I do know that I haven’t seen much of an outcry or protestation from the Muslim masses to denounce these terrorists who are acting in their name and on their behalf. I havn’t seen them standup to and reject or defeat those who are supposedly “hijacking” their religion.

Right now, it looks very much like Islamofascism is the mainstream and widely accepted majority faction of Muslims world-wide. I have yet to see different.

Of course.

Surely you understand that all Muslims are not ‘Islamofascists’, right?

There’s a difference in…oh say, how the Jehova’s Witnesses “project” their form of religion on others, and how Islamofacists “project” their form of religion on others.

Christians in the US might want everyone to “find Christ”, but when they don’t, the Christians don’t cut the non-converts heads off.

Surely you understand how those two things are different. Right?

And you’re right…I don’t want to live in a multicultural society that includes a culture hell-bent on cutting the heads off of everybody who’s not one of them. But hey, that’s just me.
