Please, all moderate and docile Muslims wake up! You should sort out yourself and the religion you are following, before it is too late.

This might not be as you experience Islam on a daily basis, but Islam as envisioned by the leading Imams and Muftis is not a religion, it’s a totalitarian doctrine disguised as a religion. Their Islam could be compared to a cult, where all followers have to “surrender” their own will to those in power. Right now you might be living in a country with a Muslim minority, enjoying freedom of expression but tell me, are you able to criticize any of your leaders or any of the content or teachings of your Muslim “religion”, or is it beyond debate because it is perfect? How many democratic Islamic countries do you know? Are you looking forward to sharia law? Would you take part in the stoning of fellow Muslims?
How have moderate Muslims voiced their concerns about what their extreme counterparts are urging and doing in the name of their “religion”.

Who’s “religion” is it?

Geert Wilders, a member of the Dutch parliament, is not well respected in the Netherlands. He has taken an extreme position and enjoys the attention that he gets. His film presents a very limited and disparaging view of Islam. It would be just as easy to put together a short film on the negative aspects of Christianity. That Senate Minority Whip Kyl would invite Wilders to show his film in the Capitol is an indication of the mentality of some of the Republican leaders.

He was showing the film because Islamic fundamentalism represents a security threat to the founding principals of the United States. I used to be PC about Islam, but you have to be realistic when there’s 1 billion of these followers in the world.

Troy K, thank you!
And Rhonda, you get the Michelle Bachmann Great Minds Think Alike award for saying Muslims should be barred from the US if they don’t understand freedom of religion.

wow

It is perfectly appropriate to view the film at the Capitol. Many of the congressmen and the senators have no clue as to how violent Islam is regarding human rights and other issues. If you get offended, you have a right not to watch it. No body is forcing anyone to sit through the film. By the way, it is a well done movie. Obviously truth hurts.

“These Leftist numbskulls speak only about things they have no knowledge of!” GKB

Okay, look. I think it is pretty clear there are a lot of people with deeply formulated opinions about this subject, and obviously the broader discussion of the role of organized religion in the modern world. I advise everyone to read at least parts of all the holy books, because they are human history, whether you like it or not, and from them the morality of the majority of human beings is established. Radicalism is a double-edged sword, and yet most deeply religious people will find much philosophical kinship against what is really the greater insult here:

The minority party thinks now is an excellent time to huddle together with fellow racists and fascists to discuss how not just religion, but a specific religion – the ‘enemy religion’ – damages and destroys our precious democratic republican ideals. That they have the gall, after destroying this country by distracting us from what is really in our best interests – at a time of worldwide crisis they singlehandedly set in motion – to spoonfeed themselves this nonsense.

GKB…your callous bougie insults to the working class at a time of global economic depression not only distract the people from fighting for what is really important (while we waste time discussing this garbage, billions of OUR dollars are being siphoned to foreign wars, foreign banks and foreign countries, while WE are being expected to take a pink slip, yank up the ol’ boot straps and keep fighting for the American dream! Boot these bougies out, don’t give them the time it takes to respond to their baloney, because there are more important things to be worrying about! What will it take to give an final answer to these fascists who just won’t give up? What will it take to show BETTER movies in the halls of congress???

Sen. Kyl is one of Israel’s most prized puppets in “our” do anything for Israel Congress. This film serves his own selfish ignorance of an extraordinary faith showing his Christian belief of “love they enemy; turn the other cheek” etc, as well as serve Israel’s/AIPAC’s campaign to constantly portray all of Islam as America’s enemy thereby allowing it to continue to steal our treasury, military, and moral values and creidibility to further its racist kllling machine. It’s very first prime minister David Ben Gurion said: “Islam is our enemy” decades ago given that it’s the only obstacle to Israel’s ethnic cleansing and continued genocides of Palestinians and Arabs.

Perhaps Sen. Kyl would show the film “Occupation 101″ which traces the history of Israel’s ethnic cleansing of hundreds of thousands of Christians and Muslims out of the Holy Land. Sadly, he’s too much of a coward to do so. We Americans will continue to pay and die for Israel which takes advantage of our apathy on foreign affairs.

I would love to see all of these peaceniks attacking Jan live in a Muslim country Lord forgive me for the murderous wish I just spewed because believe you me that wish is definitely an invitation to the bowels of Hell for them. Read somewhere that any God sacrificed Himself for those who don’t deserve His love. One day these people will beg to have one single Christian speak in their behalf and all they will have is Shari’a Law. They will have to drink from their own cup. The fact that all faiths can live in America without persecution is a marvel of the Judeo-Christian tradition and has nothing remotely similar in any Muslim country. These Leftist numbskulls speak only about things they have no knowledge of! But intense persecution mankind has never known is on the way The Anti-Christ is soon to be manifest!!!
