Is the left in denial about Islam?

[Billy000]

I happen to side with the rightwing about the threat of Islam. I do understand that the majority of Muslims are peaceful, but to suggest Islamic extremism is as big of a threat as general religious extremism is flat out wrong. In the Middle East, polls show that a majority of Muslims there believe non-believing Muslims should be killed. Now obviously the majority does not take up arms like ISIS does, but that still says a lot about the attitude of Islam. The Koran states (In multiple contexts) that Muslims must kill non believers. This belief really isn't out of nowhere. Islmac terrorism, while on the fringe, is not outside the actual doctrine of Islam.

I think liberals just need to accept this. Sure most Muslims are harmless, but Muslims in general hold more extreme views than that of Christians. There is a significant subculture of Islam that is larger and more dangerous than any Christian violent fringe.

You guys do know that Bill Maher is one the most outspoken commentators on this issue right?

 

[Two Thumbs]

I'm fucking shocked.

I keep reading the op, again and again, with the same shocked look on my face.

I'm baffled
I'm befuddled
I'm thrown way off my game

I might be stuck on this page for a while in awe

I barely know who that is.

Wouldn't know, don't have HBO, but I have seen a couple of clips. About the only thing I've seen him right about also.

all kidding aside


Glad you saw the light Billy.

but

don't repeat this to any of your leftist buddies, unless you want to get tossed out of the club for being an islamaphobe

 

[ScienceRocks]

I agree op...

 

[Elvis Obama]

No, both side of the partisan divide are equally clueless about how to deal with the Middle East. That's the problem, not Islam and not ISIS. A region filled with nothing but despicable failed states, which the Democrats like to pretend are really sovereign nations and the Republicans like to pretend can be fixed with military power alone.

About this issue you're right! Just Not infrastructure, science, r&d, education and maintaining America as a world power!

Turning it to glass would solve the problem!

Bill Maher also parrots the term "the black President" over and over as if our issue with the President is that he's black, not that he's a leftist. Any cred he earns he erases repeatedly
