Winds of War: Now Liberals Call Moderate Muslims Racist
2007-11-19 16:47:00 From The Gathering Storm Blog Here’s what you get from liberals when you are a Republican and an Arab. YAF member Summer Kamal explained how white liberals tell her she is racist against Arabs when she tells them she is for the war when she herself is Arab. She also spoke out against the liberals who are supporting the radicals in Islam saying- “It’s got to stop!” Here’s what the Jawa Report has to say about it. The featured speaker at the Young America’s Foundation luncheon today was human rights activist Nonie Darwish, author of Now They Call Me Infidel: Why I Renounced Jihad for America, Israel, and the War on Terror . After moving to America well into her adulthood she went to a mosque where the imam preached a sermon on how newcomers were not to assimilate into American society and how Islam would one day dominate in the U.S. “Don’t assimilate,” she was told by the man delivering the sermon, “Islam will become the dominate rel...

Who Are the Moderate Muslims?
2007-08-01 05:27:00 Ever since the atrocities of September 11th, 2001, there has been a lot of hopeful talk in the Western press about the vast majority of Muslims who are religious "moderates." Being moderates, they necessarily repudiate the theology of Osama bin Laden and disavow terrorism.Nor would they ever dream of killing another human being over a cartoon. Where are these moderate Muslims? How many of them exist? And how can we best empower them? These are all questions of crucial importance to the future of civilization, and they are questions for which I do not have any answers.But there is another question worth asking in the meantime: How do we recognize religious moderates in the first place?The author Sam Harris said "Anyone who thinks that non-Muslims should be obliged to conform to the religious taboos of Islam is not a Muslim moderate".Others say they are moderate if they they denounce terrorism and commit to peaceful means of resolving conflicts.What do you think?Indonesia News Blog: h...
Is PBS going to air the documentary of moderate Muslims?
2007-05-25 06:53:00 There was controversy a short while ago over PBS' attempted oppression of a new Frank Gaffney documentary, Islam vs Islamists: Voices from the Muslim Center, which focuses on moderate Muslims and their views on extremists. It was suppressed because even the views of moderate Muslims are not allowed in the eyes of the extremists like CAIR, to name but one.Now, the Wash. Times says that they've agreed to make it available to 354 TV stations across the nation, but there's just one little thing here that's fairly telling (via Hot Air):?We plan to distribute the film to any public broadcasting station that wants it. We?ll package it and also produce some sort of discussion to accompany the film, and give it some context,? OPB President Steve Bass told The Washington Times yesterday.Gaffney's company has responded, and sums up what this is really saying:The travesty that has characterized the public broadcasting system?s handling of a taxpayer-underwritten documentary, ?Islam vs. Isl...

Seeking moderate Muslims
2007-04-20 12:46:00 By Ekramul Haque The News, PakistanThe writer teaches mass communication at the University of KarachiLast month's RAND Corp report advises the US government to build networks with true moderates in the Muslim world. Drawing on American tactics from the cold war era, the report suggests ways to promote the moderate Muslims and marginalise the extremists in the Muslim lands. "At the beginning of the Cold War," says the report, "the threat was a global Communist movement led by a nuclear-armed Soviet Union ; today it is a global jihadist movement striking against the West with acts of mass-casualty terrorism." The groups that the US must support, suggests RAND, include liberal and secular Muslim academics and intellectuals; young moderate religious scholars; community activists; women's groups engaged in gender-equality campaigns and moderate journalists and writers. NGOs are also suggested as a vital component of this strategy. The report, entitled "Building Moderate Muslim Netw...

CBC video on the persecution of moderate Muslims in Canada
2007-03-10 13:13:01 From CBC’s The National comes must-see video footage: what happens when “moderate” Muslims actually do attempt to be heard? Death threats, physical abuse, and that’s coming from fellow Muslims. Note: these are outside links and not yet hosted here on the Anvil. Part 1 Part 2 Again, I am warning all Americans — continue to live in apathy, continue to bury your heads in the sand, continue to strive to find equivalence between the Torah/Gospel and the absolute mythology that is the Quran, and you are going to end up in dire straits in your lifetime because of the actions of Islamic jihadists in YOUR backyard. It’s not so far off, as these videos from Canada should warn you. Who in their right minds believes that those of us out here on the Net that have to deal with this hateful ideology every day of our lives because we choose to not turn away actually enjoy our jobs? The only satisfaction I get is from knowing I’m doing the right thing, b... |
