Okay. You've established that Islam is an evil religion. You've established that all muslims are fanatical adherents to an evil religion. So the next question is...what's the end game?
How do you stamp out an ideology? Is it even possible to stem the legislation of culture by counter-legislation? And what would need to be enacted? A series of laws barring muslims from the political process? Renovate existing immigration laws to exclude muslims?
Are we talking about re-vamping laws at all? Or are we talking about Manzanar getting a fresh coat of paint?
What are we talking about?
You're a Muslim. How about you providing some answers to the questions that you have posed. How about you as a Muslim emerging from the pack and reinforcing the myth of the so-called "moderate Muslim".
Muslims have murdered many people in the West through brutal and savage terrorist attacks. Muslims around the world riot and kill each other and innocents at the drop of a hat or media report they deem offensive.
Your first reaction to the other user for his comments is one of sarcasm. Your attitude is almost like he as a citizen has no right to feel that Islam is violent and barbaric despite endless proof to the contrary constantly being provided by Muslims themselves. You are absolutely wrong.
Instead of admitting the truth that people have a rational right to be suspicious of Islam and Muslims, you practically accuse him of wanting to reopen internment camps.
Is that the "moderate Muslim" in you speaking?
As a Muslim, instead of attacking people who have every reasonable right to be suspicious of Islam in general, you more than anyone should be denouncing the egregious and barbaric acts committed on a regular basis in the name of your religion. It's going to take Muslims to put an end to the violent and psychotic nature endemic within Islam.
But then again, you don't do that. There is never a denunciation of the violence or the insanity. Your first instinct is to attack those who rightfully question Islam.
Maybe as a Muslim, you know more than most that opening your mouth against other Muslims could be a hazard to your safety and possibly your life. It's easier for you to condemn everyone else for having their justifiable suspicions and opinions. The "religion of peace" remains "peaceful" as long as you keep your mouth shut.
You invoke the memory of Manzanar in your rant against other people, however there was a big difference back then. Many Japanese went out of their way to prove their loyalty to this country and their new home. That is not happening with Muslims today. The public is not being shown any efforts on behalf of Muslims to help eradicate the cancer within. We are treated to nothing but complaints and endless grievances from the so-called "Muslim community". Their attitude is the same as yours... "how dare anyone question Islam".
The search for the mythical moderate Muslim continues. It is a search that is all too often wrought with disappointment and even more suspicion. So-called Muslim leaders who have sat and broke bread with American presidents have been found to have terrorist ties. The very first Ramadan celebrations in the White House during the Clinton administration were organized by a Muslim who turned out to be a jihadist supporter. The largest Muslim organizations in America, CAIR, The American Muslim Council, ISNA, etc. all have been found to have ties to terrorism.
The search continues. It doesn't look with any high degree of confidence that you may be one of the mythical moderate Muslims. You condemn everyone else but Muslims.... But I'm still optimistic. I do sense that you love freedom and liberty. Maybe one day that will force you and other Muslims such as yourself to finally stand up and do something about the problem within Islam.
