Anti Semitism rising.

[Coyote]

Anyone can find pictures of some extreme event and use it to paint an entire group.

Pew Research has shown that majorities of Muslims around the world oppose violence, are very concerned about extremism, and oppose it.

Actually, you need to read that more closely because the results are mixed, with some items involving violence or killing receiving majority support. Go do your homework now.

I agree that the results are mixed - mostly in relation to geographic locality and in certain specific examples such as treatment of homosexuals which is still stuck in a medievil mindset. I have, however done my homework.

Muslim Publics Share Concerns about Extremist Groups Pew Research Center s Global Attitudes Project

In many of the countries surveyed, clear majorities of Muslims oppose violence in the name of Islam. Indeed, about three-quarters or more in Pakistan (89%), Indonesia (81%), Nigeria (78%) and Tunisia (77%), say suicide bombings or other acts of violence that target civilians are never justified. And although substantial percentages in some countries do think suicide bombing is often or sometimes justified – including a 62%-majority of Palestinian Muslims, overall support for violence in the name of Islam has declined among Muslim publics during the past decade.
​

and, on extremism

Majorities in most of the Muslim publics surveyed express concerns about Islamic extremism in their country. Senegalese Muslims are the most worried (75% concerned), but at least six-in-ten Muslims in Lebanon, Tunisia, Malaysia, Nigeria, Pakistan, Egypt and the Palestinian territories are also concerned. More Jordanian Muslims (54%) see Islamic extremism as a threat than do not (45%).

In Indonesia, the Muslim public is evenly split: 48% concerned vs. 48% unconcerned. Turkey, meanwhile, is the only country surveyed where at least half of Muslims (51%) say they are not worried about Islamic extremism.


Concern about extremism has increased in some of the countries surveyed, including Pakistan, where two-thirds of Muslims now say they fear the threat of Islamic extremism, compared with 58% in 2012.1 In Tunisia, six-in-ten Muslims are now very concerned, up from 42% saying the same a year ago. Conversely, in the Palestinian territories, the proportion of Muslims worried about extremism has declined 14 percentage points since 2011, the last time the question was asked there.


In Lebanon, large majorities of Shia and Sunni Muslims share concerns about Islamic extremism (74% and 72%, respectively); these worries are even more pronounced among Lebanon’s Christians (92%). In Nigeria, Christians and Muslims are about equally worried, with 74% of the Christian population and 69% of the Muslim population expressing concern. However, the proportion of Nigerian Muslims worried about extremism has dropped 14 percentage points since 2010. In Malaysia, Muslims are much more worried than their Buddhist countrymen about Islamic extremism (70% vs. 46%).

Good. Now compare those numbers to the number of Christians who think violence in the name of Christianity is justified, or the killing of those who violate religious law, and you'll see the problem. Once you draw the right comparison, then the world makes a little more sense.

In general - in this age, Islam has the worse problem with extremism, intolerance and violence. In the past, it was Christianity, in the future it may be someone else. That's the "right comparison". They all have, just beneath the surface - the scripture that they can interpret to legitimize extremism. That's why I'm a strong proponent of secularism.

Just for shits and giggles though - Gallop did an intetesting poll on the views of different religious groups in America towards violence: Most Muslim Americans See No Justification for Violence

No. Not just "in general" but in frequency and with consistency. Not just "in this age" but with a historical perspective. Islam's jihad against humanity has been on-going since Islamist holy warriors spilled out of the Arabian Peninsula after the death of the religions inventor. Making excuses and allowances for it, as you do, is sleazy.

It’s a matter of being honest regarding islamist ideology. If you can't acknowledge that islamist ideology is one of establishing itself as “supreme above all others”, you shouldn't feign shock and surprise when others point that out.

It's a shame you can't be honest about this. honest about this. Spurious apologetics from the islamist pom pom flailers notwithstanding, can anyone find anything any ideology in the world today which compares to the brutish, widespread, and systematic savagery commityted in the name of muhammud (swish)? There is something very, very wrong in the politico-religious ideology that was invented by an arab warlord on the scorched sands of the Arabian peninsula fourteen hundred years ago.

Pretending you are some kind of scholar on Islam is sleazy.

 

[irosie91]

That's why I think hate speech needs to be openly confronted, whomever it's targeted at. All it takes is a little economic or political insecurity for people to start finding scapegoats and targeting them.

not quite-----Fascist ideologues know how to exploit vulnerabilities. Persons who are insecure are their targets.
If you understand anything about the sociopathic personality----
think about the fascist ideologue as a sociopath.

Coyote will finally understand the threat of Islam, as soon as her head is being cut off by some guy concealed in an all black terrorist costume and somebody else is capturing it on camera. Invincible ignorance.

Reality check.

How many Muslims are there around the world?

How many people actualy get decapitated by Muslim extremists?

Is that number higher than the decapitations carried out by drug cartels just south of the border?


Is extremism a concern? Yes, we agree on that.

Is Islam a concern? No.

On a personal basis, statistics are 100% or zero.

 

[ogibillm]

Israel doesn't screw up. Like ever.

you can't say that and then go on to say this

I think you're a troll and do not merit a thoughtful response.

it makes you look like an ideologically blind fool

you got the numbers?. According to a neighbor of mine----
a Mexican of remarkable intellect. The drug trade in Mexico is infiltrated with muslims ------Islamic terrorism ---is financed to a large extent by drug sales in the USA-----transport by
ship directly into the USA became problematical ----another friend----who does some work with drug crime in New York City told me that the heroin in the USA comes from Afghanistan and is OPENLY devoted to the Islamic cause---
insignia of scimitars stamped on what he described as cakes----disc like thing of pure heroin ?? I have never
seen the things. Heroin ---from Afghanistan--to mexico---via
tunnels ----to the USA----buys the means for severed heads and nail bombs on the asses of meccaist sluts

No, not at all. Name one time Israel was the aggressor, and I don't mean Palestinian propaganda that makes a bully out of the Israelis when they defend themselves. Israel really doesn't ever screw up. They assiduously maintain the moral high ground, even when tolerance works to their disadvantage.

I dont need to be an islamist scholar know my koranology, islamist history and details of the fascist politico-religious ideology invented by muhamud (swish). I'm always surprised at just how little islamist history goofy converts to islam really understand.

Islamists refer to the time before Islamism as the Jahiliyyah—the so-called time of ignorance in Arabia before Muhammud (swish) created his dog and pony show. Through centuries of jihad successes, empire building through war and conquest and the annihilation or subjugation of many different cultures, islamists became convinced that they really had passed out of this Jahiliyyah. The truth is, though, they ended up creating a new and far more sinister time of ignorance, the result of unquestionable koranic literalism and a politicoreligious doctrine comprised mainly of delusions oozing from a meglomaniac who wanted to conquer the world by violent means.

Muhammud (swish) conned a few desert arabs into thinking that he had a direct line to a god. He conned a few desert arabs into believing that he was a legitimate leader. He was really just an evil monster who made lifelong career of war, conquest, killing Jews with impunity, lust for power, and plain baseness. Some of us realize that and are not afraid to say so. He was a bad man, and history bears that out.

Islam is certainly not a concern to all the dead in Syria, Iraq and those areas being raped and pillaged in furtherance of that new-fangled caliphate.

What's the body count now in Syria with the various islamist murder syndicates vying for position? 200,000?

Dead people behave in completely non threatening ways.

They do believe Christianity is a problem. If an abortion doctor is killed, they'll hold all Christians accountable forever. They don't even try to hide their double standard.

continued settlement building - that's maintaining the moral high ground?
thousands killed in retaliation for a handful of deaths - that's moral high ground?
pre-preemptively attacking neighbors - that's moral high ground?
holding a nuclear threat over the heads of said neighbors while refusing to sign on for non-proliferation- that's moral high ground?
spying on the united states - that's moral high ground?
cutting off water supplies to palestinians - that's moral high ground?
selling u.s. military technology without our permission - that's moral high ground?
using cluster bombs in civilian populated areas - that's moral high ground?

The West has always been tolerant to a fault. We didn't see Islam as a threat until the Moorish armies were in sight of the gates of Vienna. Western society and Christianity as a world wide influence came that close to extinction. That's why I offer no apology for the Crusades that followed, sending armies down to crush them at Jerusalem so they could never again threaten the world. I only apologize that we Catholics weren't more thorough. Think of how much more we might have layed waste to Islam were we not distracted by ulterior motives and vain pursuits. Islam again threatens the world because we did a half assed job of stopping them the first time.

I hope we don't make that mistake again.
