Oh boy you guys really are silly aren't you? Can't see 4 inches in front of your own face. Yes I'm aware that Islam needs a lot of bloody work but they're going through their enlightenment right now. If you throw all Muslims under the same blanket it's you who's the small minded fool, not me. You take the Trump approach: kill them all. I take the opportunity approach: happy to take in the ones who are open to assimilation who have skills and add value to the economy and those who want to practice Sharia Law or whatever are free to do so in their desert-locked countries. Look at Westboro Baptist and tell me there are no modern examples of Christians who oppress others and if given the opportunity wouldn't resort to violence. The whole point of developing a society is one bolstered by law and order. Not ruled by, but bolstered by.
Those who step out of line or act against the nation's goals are disciplined accordingly but overall the point is to move forward. The US is a multicultural nation with many, many practicing Muslims who have already been living there for generations. You think they all need to be put in a camp to learn your version of theology despite the fact that they've committed no indecent acts in the eyes of the law or society's moral code? What God someone prays to is their own business until they try to impose their views on others. You want to get pissy with some Muslims for trying to violently enforce their religion on others? No worries. But you need to open a fucking history book and realise every sect of every religion throughout time has always, at one point or another, gone to war with another group because they disagree with the other group's interpretation over who has the better God.

Really? You think that? Before you have a Enlightenment, doesn't history indicate that a Reformation must come first? Yes, it does. Well, Shiites and Sunnis have been at it FOURTEEN HUNDRED YEARS NOW!!!!! Do you see some signs of reconciliation that I don't see?? WISHFUL THINKING won't fix Islam, especially Westerners with positive affirmations and magical thinking in the mix.
Don't you get it, sck? Muslims have put their own selves under that blanket, not us! Western Muslims have had the rights and means to end Islam since they passed through our door steps! Yet how many have ditched this cult? It should bother you that the one's who have are so rare and few that nearly each one of them needs police protection!
Each adult Muslim that you come across on your own streets and work places has made a choice to maintain an affiliation with a poorly constructed rewrite of Christianity and Judaism. Yet you can come across dozens of nominal Christians and Jews everyday that have a ala carte acceptance of their faith yet don't take it seriously at all. You need to ask your Muslim acquaintances "Why are you still in it?" and "When are you going to take up your freedoms and exercise your own ethical/moral determination?"
sck, you are not dealing with trapped people. You are dealing with people who are choosing a immoral association for reasons of fear, cowardice, wish to control and oppress others.
You have all my writings on this topic and that is your take away? Does it make you feel superior to construct that straw man? Resa Aslan says to kill all Jihadists as they have no thing that you can offer them to dissuade them from oppressing you.
Do you think that I am Resa Aslan?? I am not Resa Aslan. Sorry. My agenda is to disseminate to the public all the hateful agenda items that Islam represents. Knowledge. Then arrive at obvious solutions via the democratic process. Bugging all Mosques and banning terrorist funding agencies like CAIR would be a no-brainer.
I'm fine with that if you are fine with actually cutting through the apologetics and getting to the root of what Islam is. Because, if you do that then you will realize that only an apostate to Islam can assimilate into Western Secularism. If Ataturk, the father of the modern Turkish state, were standing beside you he would say exactly that. Can't we learn from history, sck?
Pretending that Islam is tolerant and non violent does not work for me or anyone else that reads the Koran. Yet that is where you are coming from. I say we should inform the public and then let the public decide what to do: Deport? Ban? Counter Islam with better ideas, with our Western Liberal culture in a full throated in-your-face manner that confronts Imams and Muslim apologists? VOA broadcasts to the Muslim world that drop the failed PC garbage and takes on the immorality that is part and parcel with Islam? All of the above?
Being passive while Islam is on the march is not an option.
