Funny, the radical element of the KKK and skinheads seem to be stifled quite effectively by non-vigilante type methods byh the moderate Christians. Tell me why that is. Tell me why "several million" moderate Muslims can not snuff out only "1,000" radicals within their religion.CameronPoe wrote:
OK. Perhaps as many as 1000. A drop in the ocean compared to the millions of decent muslims out there. The percentage of radical muslims out there I'm willing to wager is well less than 10% of the entire population, probably less than 5%. And certainly less than 0.5% in western countries.lowing wrote:
When you consider the planning, the money, the logistics to carry out such attacks more than 200 people were involved in these attacks, I am sure. The guilty are not just the ones that killed themselves along with their victims.
MY self determination, personal responsibility and condemnation of big govt. has always revolved within the boundary of NOT hindering someone's pursuit of life liberty and happiness. Are we now going to say that the attacks, did not interfere the victims pursuit of these. For you to suggest that I am in conflict with these ideals by suggesting that the Muslims do something about their own radical elements is ridiculous.
As for your encounter at Heathrow....... I don't care.........Don't hand out flyers to me telling your position on these issues, all I care about is action........Tell me what you are doing about your so called brothers that are engaged in this bullshit. Then I will listen.
Lowing - this radicalism is a matter for the law in the countries that have problems with it. It's as simple as that. I'm not a vigilante and I wouldn't expect any muslim to be either - that in itself is against the law. The only muslim country where radicals attained power was in Afghanistan and their power base has since been smashed. All other muslim countries place stringent curbs on radical islamic terror and deal with it ruthlessly.
Better yet, tell me how 1,000 radicals were even allowed to come to such power in the first place. Why were they not snuffed out by the moderates before they even became so powerful?
