Mythical Moderate Muslims

Interesting writing from Bloodletting: An excerpt: bq. The mythical moderate muslim (MMM) despite their protestations that "this is not true Islam", and that "This is just a small minority", and that "we are not all like that", has done nothing nothing in the form of action to stop what is going on by those of their faith in the name of their faith. This makes them guilty of colaboration by omission. The lack of concrete action against such atrocities makes them alll guilty. When wayward miscreants, in the name of Jesus, bomb abortion clinics, there are no excuses made by other christians for the aberrant behavior. We treat them as any other criminal and demand the maximum punishment. We sit on their juries and we convist them. bq. As each echoing silence where there should be banshee screams of outrage against the "hijackers of Islam" by the MMM, I am more and more convinced that we should not sacrifice all of civilization for the benefit of saving a particular, and particularly flawed, belief system. In other words, perhaps we should make an exception, and destroy all of Islam in order to weed out this cancer of terrorism. Maybe, protecting the inactive MMM, who will take no steps to protect us, should be sacrificed in order that we may save everything else. After all, if a cancer has begun in the uterus, do we not hesitate to remove the whole organ, diseased tissue as well as healthy in order to protect the whole organism? More healthy, but less than perfect. Is that such a bad outcome? Is it not better than the alternative, if the alternative is to allow the cancer to take over because we were unwilling to give up on the ideal of a perfect outcome? Tossing the gauntlet: bq. In light of the recent use of terrorism in your name, considering thew long standing, and exclusive use by others in your name; stop this evil congregation in England from coming to order. Seek out and destroy those who would attend, those who you claim to be blasphemers. You need to take back your religion. Not the british government, not the infidel, not the US Marines; YOU. I do not imagine that it will be easy. I do not imagine that it will be without sacrfice or cost. Nor do I know how dear or precious that cost will be. What I do know is that if you are not willing to assume risk, or bear the cost of saving your religion, than I see no reason why American infidels should, either. Good stuff...
