The Third Jihad

Bullitt · 10-13-2008, 10:20 PM

No, my mind has been made up by actual interactions and frank discussions with Muslims in my community,one a self described fundamentalist (not in the way that these publications would have you think) through my Islam and the West seminar via my university. There is no doubt that there are extremist splinter groups that wish to do Westerners, Christians, Jews, and other Muslims harm. Inflammatory media such as these, do nothing to help strengthen ties with the great majority of moderate Muslims, which is what we need now more than anything. These people genuinely fear our government and publications such as these. They live in uncertainty within our own free country because of wiretapping, no-fly lists, suspicious men following them, random questionings, and rendition. Many Muslims have tried to reach out, but are turned away by many folks because of the "Muslim stigma". Stigma instilled by fear-mongering publications like "Obsession".

And no I'm not voting for Obama just fyi. I do not agree with a nanny-state, abortion, or the assault weapons ban. Just hearing him speak grates on me.

Watching the 30 min video now.

No one need watch the video. Soundbytes from the video define it.

Quote:

the horror of terrorism

Islam will dominate

and entire movement and the idea is a hatred for our way of life

the FBI uncovered a secret document

Mulsim's destiny to perform jihad

reveals the plans of radicals in America

are you starting to see pattern here?

Some people always need a bogeyman to hate and to justify a political agenda.

I want to get this right. Are you saying there is absolutely no threat from extreme Muslims?
