"Remember, slavery was legal in the USA until..." But it is not now, but was always wrong. By the way, slavery is still in practice in the Islamic world. Now we buy oil from them, instead of slaves.

I'm curious as to which "rule of Islam" is being violated by terrorists. Particularly when so many clerics are calling for their congregations to celebrate and join in their actions.

Gad this is repetitive, but here goes anyway. You are proving my point!!! I know he has no right to kill her. She knows he had no right to kill her. (He had no right to beat her) Her family knew he had no right to kill her. If you say islam says he has no right to kill her, I rejoice. Now instead of telling me, tell him! He thinks islam allows him to kill her. He said so! The authorities refuse to prosecute him because they believe he has the right to kill her. They said so. Why are you telling me I am wrong? Tell him he is wrong. Tell the authorities he should be in jail. Tell the people that told him (clerics) he had the right to kill her that they are wrong! Stop the "knee-jerk" defense of islam and recognize what’s wrong.

I will call them radicals when they are rejected by those whose name they commit these atrocities in.

So as long as there are isolated incidents of slavery worldwide, no-one should criticize slavery in the Sudan or Nigeria? Clean your own house before inspecting another's.

I didn't make this up. The hooded terrorists who committed these heinous crimes said that they committed these acts in the name of islam. Instead of getting angry with me for repeating what they said, why don't you and a bunch of your angry friends go tell the terrorists to stop saying such things. Stop telling me, tell them! Better yet, stop them!

Sid...I firmly stand by everything stated in my post. Until enough Muslims, especially ***in the lands where the events and issues we speak of here are taking place*** , as a group actively condemn and confront the extremists/fanatics, the teachers of hated, and reject en mass the lies told by much of the Arab/Muslim-related media, the extremists/terrorists will simply go about their bloody business with the certain knowledge that they are not being rejected by those they claim to be 'helping', their fellow Muslims in these regions.

>>Stop preaching hate - or you play into the hands of terrorists. THEY love it --elcid<< STOP preaching BS preacher! What I "hate" is scraping-up innocent's remains after Islam's sons and daughters 'HE' handi-work! The religion/culture/politics of Islam Today is home to Islamist terrorism -- it's jihadis, their enablers and sympatizers! As Mr 'Erdogan's poetic ideology so aptly captured: "The mosques are our barracks, the domes our helmets, the minarets our bayonets and the faithful our soldiers" Not only are the Mosques their barracks, but also their armories, recruiting & training offices, redoubts etc etc etc! As for your PC prescription that I and others on SP should 'whistle pass the grave yard' so as 'not to wake up the sleeping dogs'--more manure! I do note that the US policy has been to molly coddle Islam in general. And it may be an effective 'divide & conquer' strategy in the short term. However, sooner or later Islam will have to cleanse itself of the filth it is wallowing in, OR, we'll have to continue to do it for them! On Watch PS with respect for your "sister in law". I empathize. I had a brother in law once who rode with a motorcycle gang. He was a "good-guy" just loved to ride scooters and wear colorful headscarves and leather, and hangout in Biker Bars, drink beer and raise hell. Damned if he didn't get mistaken for a "bad-guy" and got himself capped by a scared Cop who thought he was going for a gun! Stuff Happens. On Watch

OnWatch failed to mention that Mr. Erdogan spent 1 year in a Turkish prison because of this poem. He later said that his poem was alegoric. They understood it wrongly. More truly he is populist. He is always says what his audience wants to hear. As Mr 'Erdogan's poetic ideology so aptly captured: "The mosques are our barracks, the domes our helmets, the minarets our bayonets and the faithful our soldiers"

AppleCidarus you must really work on your reading skills. ElCid said that he is an Christian American Soldier. He is not a Muslim and he does not have a bunch of angry friends. Man, you should really learn to read before making comments.
