Islam needs an enlightenment, a reformation, and a mailed fist across it's face if it doesn't grasp those concepts very very soon. Where, now, are the "moderate muslims: the MSM so findly speaks of? Where are the "moderate muslim voices" calling for calm, for dialogue? The MSM constantly platonises those phrases. spitting them out with more regularity than a metamucil-soaked octagenarian, yet they are strangely invisible when one would want to actually see one, to actually speak to one. You'll have better luck seeing Jerry Fallwell give up barbecue and Pentacostal hymns that finding a moderate muslim these days. I'll start to give a tinker's damn about muslims when I see them start ragging on Hammas and Hezzbollah, and telling those idiots to sit down and stfu....... Respects, Gwedd Comrades,

Islam needs it’s own Martin Luther, or it will never leave the 7th century. Islam needs an enlightenment, a reformation, and a mailed fist across it’s face if it doesn’t grasp those concepts very very soon.

Where, now, are the “moderate muslims: the MSM so findly speaks of? Where are the “moderate muslim voices” calling for calm, for dialogue? The MSM constantly platonises those phrases. spitting them out with more regularity than a metamucil-soaked octagenarian, yet they are strangely invisible when one would want to actually see one, to actually speak to one.

You’ll have better luck seeing Jerry Fallwell give up barbecue and Pentacostal hymns that finding a moderate muslim these days.

I’ll start to give a tinker’s damn about muslims when I see them start ragging on Hammas and Hezzbollah, and telling those idiots to sit down and stfu…….

Respects,

Gwedd
