Muslim Leader issues Anti-Terrorism Fatwa (Page 3 of 3)

When posed with that, you should have responded "that's funny, I consider 9/11 an act of war."

Yeah, I thought of that.  Of course, had I said that, my wife would have lost
the entire DC Muslim community in terms of possible customers, and she would
have killed me.  Also, you don't go pissing off a group of people at a wedding -
it's a celebration, and even though this guy acted like an ass, that was no reason
for me to make a huge stink at someone else's wedding.

It's easy in life to make enemies, but when you run a retail store you sell to
whomever wants to buy.  Business is non-judgmental in this way.  Our job is
to provide the best possible customer service without prejudice.

I have no respect for how Muslim men treat their women.  That part of their
culture is beyond words.  Equally is their views towards the Jewish, which is
also beyond words.  If another Hitler arises, it'll be from the Middle East.

The greatest danger to the lives of modern Jews is the misunderstanding and
underestimation of the astonishing level of hatred ingrained in Muslims.

Bingo.  If a person hasn't read the Koran they can't really speak to the good or bad of Islam, they can only rightly discuss the behaviors of Muslims.

It's good to know you'll have no problem designing the wedding dress for neo-Hitlers wedding

Which is all I was doing.

And by the way....

As a Jew, I know damned well that the Old Testament isn't full of sweetness and light.

Are you suggesting that neo-Hitlers wife is/will be fat and ugly?  That's not a very nice thing to say about your customers

I knew guys like that.  Thing about your last sentence is the lack of a verb.  Lots of people run their mouths about stupid ideas, or feel a duty to defend a piece of religious doctrine on which they are unlikely to act.  When a fellow says "My religion gives me the right to kill a jew", that's a problem, but not the same kind of problem as people who actually kill people just because they are jews.  Same business about women, many people see women as somehow inferior, yet treat women with great respect and care.

I'll add that the converse is true too.  A fellow can describe christian doctrine precisely and accurately, but be a miserable person.  In assessing a person, I will be more impressed by patterns of behaviour than profession.  It doesn't mean that ideas don't matter, because they do.  Perhaps ideas that don't matter enough for a fellow to act on don't matter enough to use to measure him.

Someone who has actually read it in detail can probably confirm or reject what I'm saying here, but it is my understanding that it is all but explicit in the Koran that Muslims are counseled to basically lay low as long as they are a minority, and to take what they want and impose sharia as soon as they are in the majority. 

The reason it is not actually explicit is this:  there is a doctrine (I forget what it's called) where, in cases where the Koran contradicts itself, the passage written later takes precedence.  Unfortunately for everybody, those passages that suggest behaving within any norms of civilization were written earlier.  All the "by the sword" stuff was written later - when the circumstances in the events being described had changed, in that their numbers had risen to the point where they were *capable* of acting "by the sword" without getting their asses kicked.

I have no doubt that the French "youths" who torch some 300 cars every night in Paris did not do so until they had enough numbers that their neighborhoods had eventually become a no-man's land to the French police.

The historical record (which I've documented here before) wherein countries that become majority Muslim become 95%+ Muslim (because they kill, kick out or forcibly convert everyone else) very shortly thereafter is consistent with this.

Given both this historical pattern of behavior and the very strong suggestions in the Koran to actually operate in this way (think of it as Islam's version of Alinsky's Rules for Radicals), and I find little comfort in the notion that these ideas about sharia and killing infidels are "ideas that don't matter enough for a fellow to act on".  Yet.  Matt, you are assuming that it's because the ideas don't "matter" to them enough.  You ignore the possibility that it matters every bit as much to the quiet ones as it does to the ones acting on it, and they have every intention of acting on it, and the only difference is that the quiet ones are smarter and just biding their time until they have the numbers to win.  Again, Europe is a living example of this.
