Problem solved. Even if Muslims want to believe in rationality, they won't take the risk of their heads being cut off for it. It's not worth it.Ymar Sakarnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5173950.post-54852042260886725982016-01-01T11:29:03.300-05:002016-01-01T11:29:03.300-05:00The difference between Americans and many Muslims ...The difference between Americans and many Muslims lies in the implications of asking the question.<br /><br />For Americans, asking what America is implies a responsibility of action on the part of the individual. Americans recognize that America is what we make it. <br /><br />I believe this understanding of what we are, and the level of individual power and responsibility we have, is the root of the frustration that we feel with "moderate" Muslims. These people are not trained to recognize their individual power or responsibility, and as a result, they are not so firmly grounded in our notion of ethics. <br /><br />There is a philosophy current in Islam, promoted by the Muslim Brotherhood, that emphasizes individual helplessness. This philosophy "reasons" that everything is in the hands of God, whose ways are so far beyond human comprehension that evil acts can be seen as part of God's will. <br /><br />The Hamas Covenant, for instance, has an introduction that states their goal is to destroy their own property and their own souls "in the path of Allah." This teaching, paired with the notion that the religion is the same as the State, is right now being cynically used to recruit disposable evil-doers.<br /><br />The Muslim Brotherhood has sown the wind, and it is reaping the whirlwind.<br /><br />ValerieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5173950.post-423517253851562482015-12-31T14:04:05.657-05:002015-12-31T14:04:05.657-05:00The issue was always one of perspective.

To Benedict Arnold, America was not the same as what it was to George Washington or Robert E Lee or Lincoln.<br /><br />To the Left, Islam is one thing, their ally. To Patriotic Americans that are not Muslims, it is another thing. But All is Islam.Ymar Sakarnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5173950.post-57909208206475357002015-12-31T14:02:43.579-05:002015-12-31T14:02:43.579-05:00Islam is Islam, contradictory, full of power strug...Islam is Islam, contradictory, full of power struggles. The same is true of America.<br /><br />The victors write the history and in that sense, they determine what is or is not true.
