(205 posts)You just can't handle it can you, the fact there are now two tribes on the liberal side of this issue can you ?
Most are still being apologists for islam (religion) like yourself, and the others accept the reality that the radicals of the religion are farmed from it's moderates by it's extremist divisive preachers who instruct their followers to act literally on the violent hate filled passages in the quran . That's a fact fred and you can't make it go away any more than you can make the quran itself go away. As for the fact of the shop owner being muslim, so what, it's not like he was made by any "god" do what he did, he acted as a decent human being should completely of his own cognizance. He acted good for goodness sake in the heat of the moment, even though later he may later credit it to "god" himself. It wasn't even about the shoppers being jewish, it was about them being human. (The same go's for the police officer who died needlessly, she was doing her duty, and was a decent person).
Who did act violently in the name of their god/faith/religion in this situation fred ?
Heres a great point on Religious moderates you may have heard before, or maybe not:
" Religious moderates also tend to imagine that there is some bright line
of separation between extremist and moderate religion. But there isnt.
Scripture itself remains a perpetual engine of extremism: because, while
He may be many things, the God of the Bible and the Quran is not a
moderate. Reading scripture more closely, one does not find reasons to
be a religious moderate; one finds reasons to be a proper religious
lunaticto fear the fires of hell, to despise nonbelievers, to persecute
homosexuals, etc. Of course, anyone can cherry-pick scripture and find
reasons to love his neighbor and to turn the other cheek. But the more
fully a person grants credence to these books, the more he will be
convinced that infidels, heretics, and apostates deserve to be smashed
to atoms in Gods loving machinery of justice."
