CAIR Chariman Emeritus (Omaer Ahmad) once said “Islam isn’t in America to be equal to any other faith, but to become dominant. The Koran, the Muslim book of scripture, should be the highest authority in America, and Islam the only accepted religion on Earth.” Other members of CAIR have stated that they would like “to see the US under Islamic law.”
From the biggest Islam lobbyist group in America and Canada, this is just here, are you telling me you have not heard any such rhetoric in Europe?
Wow. One quotation from some deranged person.
No, I have in no place said that I haven't heard that kind of rhetoric in Europe. Stop putting words in my mouth. It doesn't lend well to the credibility of your argument. I am saying that the people that this kind of rhetoric comes from are a very, very small minority.
In any event, trying to use that article as an argument for how European socialists want to allow Sharia law in Europe is completely, ridiculously stupid. Trying to bridge gaps and have an understanding does not equal changing the entire rule of law to appease a small ethnic minority. You're an alarmist scaremongerer, and you're trying too hard.
The leader of the biggest pro- Islamic group in this hemisphere and you dismiss him. Sorry but as the leader of his group he speaks for them.
Funny how you will dismiss every single quote posted against Islamic fundamentalism as scaremongering but you will hang your hat on every quote Bush says in order to undermine US policy. Cool double standard.
What the hell? You've posted one single quotation from some deranged lunatic, claiming him to represent the opinions of all muslims. That's like saying that the opinions of politicians are the opinions of their party members. It's a logical fallacy, and if that's all you have to offer, I don't get why you even started in the first place.
One single quotation from one muslim fundamentalist is turned into "every single quotation", and.. George Bush quotations? What dark orifice are you pulling this from? I'm used to people making up things to support their cause, but this is just hilarious. You're not just making up things to support your argument, you're making up things to make ad logicam arguments to discredit my opinion on a topic. Grasping at straws is one thing, but grasping at straws to grasp at straws is just very, very sad.

Ummmm correct me if I am wrong, but you guys said the vast majority of muslims in your countries are normal and moderate and content. Sooooooooo, why would you feel like you were obliged to appease anyone that is normal moderate or content. Sounds like they already are appeased. I can only assume you are worried about precisely those that are extreme in their beliefs.
It must be awfully uninspiring to live in a world as black and white as yours. You're saying that muslims are either fully in sync with Western ideals, or fundamental extremists.
