Well, and all that oil.  Plus sending some of them off to be the poor mans "smart" bomb.  I wonder if the suicide attacks could be a form of population control?

I digress.  The distressing part about the fatwas is that it is killing allowed by their religion.  In Christianity, there are some people out there restrained from killing people only because it is against their religion and against the law.  A fatwa frees a person of any feeling of guilt or wrongness about killing, and most muslim countries criminal laws follow the Korran, so killing under a fatwa is legal, as well as religiously allowed.

There are also schools in the middle east where children are raised learning that all of their misery is the cause of Isreal, jews, and the US.  They are taught to read using the Korran, they are taught right and wrong from the Korran, they are taught that anything good comes from the Korran, and that anything not in the Korran is evil and meant to corrupt them by the godless heathens they were taught to hate and told that it is not only allowed, but their holy duty to Allah to kill or convert.  The amazing thing is that there are as many moderate Muslims as there are.

Finally, I think it is the responsibility of the Muslim faith to restrain their extremists and chastise them.  If they do not, then they are supporting them, explicitly or inplicitly, and share their guilt.  And before you jump and call me a muslim hater, I expect the same thing of Christian faiths regarding the bombing of abortion clinics and killing of abortion doctors.

Ah, I see you grew up a small muslim child being taught in muslim schools in a poor middle eastern country.

Oh, you didn't? Well what the fuck do you know then?

As with most issues of rebellion and protest, few are likely to actively participate in protest even if they sympathize with radicals, fewer are likely to train as terrorists, and even fewer are likely to actually to commit violence.

The upper limit for actual protest (violent or otherwise) is only on the order of 5% of a given population and that's with massive repression and discontent towards the population. The population might be sympathetic to the radical cause, but only 2 in 100 or less is going to actually be compelled to any kind of action.
But therein lies the problem, If the population is sympathetic the terrorism will continue and increase.

if 2 in 100 is compelled to action then we have a major problem.

Someone is a bit upset.  But since you asked so politely, I was in the Army for 8 years.  In that time I spent a tour in Iraq.  I also spent two tours in Muslim Bosnia, so I got to see muslim culture up close in two differenet enviroments.  We also had arabic translators, one an Iraqi christian who immigrated to the US and volunteered to come back to Iraq as a civilian contractor.  We also had locals that we trusted hired as on-site translators.

Not only that, but our unit bought a Kuwaiti satilite TV system, so we got television.  Well, 2 Kuwaiti channels, Iranian TV, BBC India, Syrian TV, Eqyptian TV, Jordainian TV, etc...  Did you know that there is a muslim version of "American Idol' or 'Star Search?'  They were singing passages from the Korran.  No, that is not a joke.

So, I hate to tell you, but I feel confident that I may actually know a little bit of what I speak.  Next time, you may not want to assume that you are talking to a 16 year old kid.

And I still feel confident that you don't have enough experience to tell me what school systems in the middle east are like. You haven't even been in more than one country, and you haven't said anything about touring different schools in that country. This is a poor representation of how "There are also schools in the middle east where children are raised learning that all of their misery is the cause of Isreal, jews, and the US."

Do you hear about KKK killing blacks anymore? We made it unpopular to be KKK. We demonized the group and now they hold their shit in hiding. Thats what we did.

what about the muslims here? If I was a muslim leader in America I would create a new branch of Islam that openly call for muslims to stop the violence.
And did we make the KKK unpopular over night? It took lot of a time and a lot of people. So maybe we should just give islam time.

Why make a new branch, when the Koran itself calls for a peaceful life?
Ok jonsimon,
It took time to erradicate the KKK. You are correct there. But Islam has been around longer than the KKK. How much more time are you willing to give? How many more innocents will die while we wait for Islam to catch up to the rest of the world? Actions not words.

Why don't you ever speak out against the human rights violatons of the countries you defend. These countries have an abundance of wealth{oil} but it is not shared. So these "have nots" grow up bitter and disenfranchised. So who do they blame, the West. And people like you validate their misinformed hate against the West.

The KKK was not around as long as christianity, likewise this brand of extremism has not been around as long as Islam. If the region is given time to acquire equillebrium on its own, it will. But if it doesn't see a moment's rest there is little hope it will calm itself.

I like how you state that I haven't been to more than one country, instead of asking me.  Just so you know, I have been to the United States, Germany, Bosnia, Croatia, Austria, Hungary, France, England, Scotland, Ireland, Kuwait, and Iraq.  You are correct in that I did not tour the educational systems in all of these countries.  However,  I received my information from people I trust, but I doubt you would do the same. So here:
http://www.classicalvalues.com/archives/003652.html
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/co … 01769.html
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/south_asia/4683073.stm

And if all you are going to do is attack me (instead of the idea), then there is not much hope for this thread.


***Edit:  Oh, and one more thing.  While watching BBC India in 2003, there was a BBC show titled something like 'touring the Axis of Evil' or some such, where a British reporter toured Iran, Syria, and tried to for North Korea, looking at everyday life there.  What I will remember was a Syrian news report on the state run Syrian TV.  It was in Arabic, of course, but the transtlation said (and again, from memory here) 'Today, two noble heros of the cause were martyred in the stuggle against the evil Zion, killing 23 godless jewish dogs.'
That is what passed for a news report.***

Wait a sec.

You're comparing the KKK in the US to Islamic Extremists in the ME. Huh?

America took tare of the KKK so easily because they are an inbred problem right here in the states. So now you want tax paying law abiding Muslims to interrupt there lives to rally against Islamic Extremists just for the sake of pleasing people like you?

A lot of them have been here for 30+ years and are very integrated into our culture, i don't think they should have to do anything. I know for a fact that they hate the terrorists even more then we do (well, the ones i have met and i have met a lot of them).

Islamic Extremist just kill us.

What do they do to Muslim Americans?

1. They distort there religion into something vile and twisted
2. They make them targets of racism
3. They prevent Muslims in America from doing simple things like travelling or getting family from overseas to visit
4. They kill them to

Don't quoate the last post of a conversation then ask questions. Read the whole converstation to find out how the comparison to the KKK and Islam came up. For the record jonsimon brought up the comparison.

Well, most muslim are just folks.  However, in more cases, the relations between muslims and non-muslims SEEM to be determined by the muslim extremists, who do not seem inclined to "work it out."

I feel that until the mainstream muslim community takes control of their faith back from hate-spewing extremists and people willing to kill themselves to attack 'the infidel,' our cahnces of working things out with them will be severely limited.
