Testing Democrat Honesty

[NoTeaPartyPleez]

In responding to questions about the horror that took place in Paris earlier today, Democrat/Liberal Howard Deans revealed the sort of honesty that many have come to expect from folks of his political persuasion.


"Howard Dean: Don’t Call Paris Attackers ‘Muslim Terrorists’

... former Gov.Howard Dean (D-VT) immediately dismissed the idea that Islam would be to blame for the attack.

“I stopped calling these people Muslim terrorists,” Dean said on Morning Joe. ”They’re about as Muslim as I am.”

He also said he does not believe ISIS is an “Islamic cult” and thinks it would be unwise to “accord [the gunmen] any religious respect.”

Despite Dean’s early assertions, though, one of the gunmen purportedly said ‘Allahu Akhbar’ in a videothat was released after the attack, and another was reportedly heard shouting “we have avenged the prophet.”

And, in an earlier tale, equally reality-based...
"OBAMA: ISLAMIC STATE 'IS NOT ISLAMIC'

In his prime-time speech to the nation on the eve of the 13th anniversary of the Sept. 11 terror attacks, President Obama vowed to “degrade and destroy” the Islamic State insurgency in Iraq and Syria with airstrikes and 475 U.S. boots on the ground – but he also made a particular point of declaring that the Islamic State terrorists “are not Islamic.”
Obama Islamic State 8216 is not Islamic 8217


And, let's remember...."you can keep your doctor," and the ever-popular "you didn't build that!"

"....a twisted cultish mind" was Dean's conclusion. I watched the whole video on that link. There was nothing dishonest in his presentation.
You've got a twisted cultish mind, too, PC. You see boogeymen behind every tree and lurking under your trailer.

There are 1,600,000,000 Muslims in the world, SuperTwit. The percentage of them that can be ascertained as ISIS/radicals/jihadists who murder is roughly 30,000.
That's .0020% of the total population of the Muslim faith.

The U.S. sends 2.5 million soldiers to the Middle East and kills 206,000 civilians for a phony war that even our POTUS finally admits was founded on faulty intel. Now who's the twisted cult? We are a much more dangerous bunch of people than a mere handful of radical Islamists.

If you don't possess critical thinking skills, then just do the math.

Speaking of 'doing the math,' you dunce:
40% of Indonesians approve of violence in defense of Islam.

Hey, Duncette, you lose again.
Try actually reading the 6-year-old article instead of distorting and converting it.

"‘Tiny minority’
The poll comes amid reports that the New York Police Department – after taking flak from Muslim organizations – has inserted into a key report on terrorism a “statement of clarification,” saying among other things that “a tiny minority of Muslims … subscribe to al-Qaeda’s ideology of war and terror.”

Back for another spanking?

Sure:

Islam is a peaceful religion because most Muslims live peacefully and that only a "tiny minority of extremists" practice violence? That's like saying that White supremacy must be perfectly fine since only a tiny minority of racists ever hurt anyone. Neither does it explain why religious violence is largely endemic to Islam, despite the tremendous persecution of religious minorities in Muslim countries.

In truth, even a tiny minority of "1%" of Muslims worldwide translates to 15 million believers - which is hardly an insignificant number. However, the "minority" of Muslims who approve of terrorists, their goals, or their means of achieving them is much greater than this. In fact, it isn't even a true minority in some cases, depending on how goals and targets are defined. Muslim Opinion Polls - Challenging the Tiny Minority of Extremists Myth

What purpose save excusing the acts of the Islamic Terrorists do you have for posting in this thread?

And we see that the demagogue party has rushed to the defense of the terrorist. Friends, allies, partners, call it what you will - your filthy party is cheerleading for the terrorists everytime.

[Foxfyre]

In Vox Day's book The Irrational Atheist, he cites at least 153,368,610 murders of innocents committed by Atheist regimes. (Vox Day's book is in no way a defense or apology for Christians--I have found no indication that he IS a Christian or member of any other faith.) He does footnote his sources for his figures however.

We can go back to the Biblical accounts of massacres committed by ancient Jews and other ancient sects, to the genocides committed under the banner of Paganism in the Roman Empire all the way throught he Crusades (far more political than religious) and the Inquisition into modern times. We are hard put to find any religious (including the 'peaceful' Buddhists) or Atheist history throughout all of history that does not include mass killings or murders. So finger pointing is not useful when making an intellectual argument that your group is more evil than my group because of its history.

What we are left with is the mindset and modus operendi of those living and acting out in the world today.

And the militant Muslims aren't doing well in the justification department when we look at the world today.

Irrational Atheist is a good term, but I have encountered plenty of irrational theists as well, who loudly proclaim the rotters code of the democrats as just and good. Morality and ethics are not exclusive to Christians, but rather to those who choose to think. Ultimately, leftism is the surrender of ones mind to the collective, accepting group think as a substitute for actual thought. In this can be no morality, no ethics, no values. Values are first and foremost predicated upon reason, a code of life and how to create an environment conducive to life. The distilled truth of collectivism is that individual life has no value, that only the collective matters. Once understood, it is clear that no morality or ethics are possible in such a system; one does not practice systems to protect that which one does not value.

Vox was specifically making an argument against the thesis of three well known Atheists in his book. And to ignore the argument just because Atheists aren't the only 'irrational' folks out there just doesn't wash with the argument I was making with my post.

My purpose in bringing it up is to rebut those who have tried to divert the topic to Christian sins and make the thread about that.

The thread is not about who have questionable history. Just about everybody does. This thread is not aboiut who is and who is not 'rational'. The thread is not about who has murdered innocents. Nobody's history is clean on that score.

What should matter, for those who are looking at the topic honestly, is where we should look for those who justify and commit murder of innocents now in today's world. And militant Islam is right at the top of the list of those who can be included.

this thread is about remarks made by howard dean where he says the terrorists were not Islamic, even if they claimed to be. often i find that line of reasoning faulty. i actually do here as well, since someone's faith should be defined by the individual. that said, it's fair to call someone a poor example, or not consistent with the teachings of their claimed faith, wouldn't you agree?

I believe in applying intelligence to a question.

Is someone a poor example of a Muslim? How do we answer that? We can look at the goals of the party and the enemies of the person in question, as Dean and the party have done, or we can use our mind.

IF we decide to think, then the question is, are these acts consistent with the teachings of the Koran and Hadiths? Do these acts follow the pattern set forth by Muhammad? The answer of course is yes. The Korans commands Muslims to kill those who "blaspheme" Muhammad. Muhammad was a violent warlord who murdered, raped, and pillaged across the Arabian peninsula.

Terrorism is the most true representation of Islam..

I'm going to use Wiki's list because it was the most comprehensive list I could find in a hurry. Do you think it was the same tiny minority who did all this? Can you find any other religion, ideology, or recognizable group anywhere in the world with a track record comparable to this in the last 15 years?

These are all the organized Islamic terrorist attacks in the previous decade beginning late 2000:

• October 12, 2000 – Attack on the USS Cole in the Yemeni port of Aden. 17 American sailors were killed, 39 injured.[9]
• December 24, 2000 – Christmas Eve 2000 Indonesia bombings of churches in eight cities, 18 killed.[10]
• September 11, 2001 – 4 planes hijacked by 19 al-Qaeda hijackers: two planes crashed into World Trade Center and one into the The Pentagon. Nearly 3000 dead.[11]
• December 13, 2001 – Suicide attack on Indian parliament in New Delhi by Pakistan-based Islamist terrorist organizations Jaish-E-Mohammad and Lashkar-e-Toiba, aimed at eliminating the top leadership of India and causing anarchy in the country. 7 dead, 12 injured.[12]
• October 12, 2002 – 2002 Bali bombings in the tourist district of Kuta on the Indonesian island of Bali, killing 202 people and injuring 240.[13]
