HASSAN EXPOSES THE MYTH OF MODERATE ISLAM

The Network

Hassan Butt Tells Bob Simon Killing In The Name Of Islam Is A "Cancer"

"The position of moderate Muslims is that Islam has nothing to do with terrorism. Do you buy that?" Simon asks.

"No, absolutely not. By completely being in denial about it's like an alcoholic basically. Unless an alcoholic acknowledges that he has a problem with alcohol, he's never gonna be able to go forward," Butt argues. "And as long as we, as Muslims, do not acknowledge that there is a violent streak in Islam, unless we acknowledge that, then we are gonna always lose the battle to the militants, by being in complete denial about it."

Grazinggoat-
The only problem I see with the "decent Arabs" is that there is absolutely no movement by them, what so ever, to renounce the radical muslims- NONE, except maybe once in blue moon, you hear a quiet statement, loaded with double entendre, blaming the Jews for everything.
The decent Arabs include the members of CARE, who are now suing US Airways because six Imans couldn't stay in their seats on a flight, scaring the h#ll out of the passengers.
OF COURSE THEY WANT MORE TOURISM. MORE TOURISM MEANS MORE CHANCES TO BLOW UP AIRPLANES!!!

If Islam is a cult, then too is Christianity.

Personally, I approve of neither.

I am a member of a group of 30 California voters that are very concerned about the illegal immigrant problem in the US and especially in California. We urge you not to vote on any bill or legislation that allows an automatic or easy path to citizenship. These people are criminals, no matter what age or circumstances. If we allow them any type of amnesty it will only encourage more illegal immigration. This is a historical fact, evidenced by current problem on the heels of President Reagan%u2019s 1986 Immigration Reform. You need only to look at the comment section of any online news service to understand that this is the way most of the country feels on this issue. We will not vote for any candidate, in any election, that does not have a firm negative stance on amnesty for illegal immigrants.

bizzzz,

By calling it a 'political movement', you are being overly kind. Islam is a cult.....nothing more. It was founded on violence and the violence is condoned to this day.

When Bush calls islam "one of the worlds great religions", I feel like flying up to Washington and BEOTCH slapping him back to Texas!

This PC stuff has gone on too long and it has gone too far!!!!

[grazinggoat]

Any statistics relating to the inflow of Arab tourists in the USA? would be interesting to see the difference between now and then (before the invasion of Iraq).

There is quite a resentment from the general population on the street to the Americas and all the general reputation America is gaining now with the clear message of the Homeland Security. Certainly decent Arabs don't want to lose their dignity by undregoing a 'criminals-reserved' process of fingerprinting.

-Form an economical point of view, the USA is more expensive now than ever for tourists. Arabs who used to travel because of affordability in the US, are more reluctant to do so, having many other destinations (more affordable) choice, and where they feel welcome and appreciated... Namely the locations in Southeast-Asia (Indonesia, Thailand etc...) and even Europe. Eastern Europe recently opening for western tourism are very affordable tourism. Arabs know that and they feel welcome.

-The only losers from this action are the USA. If this policy had to push further, Arabs may consider pulling out their funds and capitals from USA to invest it somewhere else, if they have less and less access to the land travel(tourism or business), or undergo more hurdles than before.

ISLAM IS NOT A RELIGION, IT IS A POLITICAL MOVEMENT. IT IS NOT DESIGNED FOR PERSONAL WORSHIP, IT IS DESIGNED TO (FORCIBLY)GOVERN A PEOPLE.
THOSE WHO FOLLOW ISLAM ARE MANDATED TO EITHER OVERTLY OR PASSIVELY SPREAD IT THROUGHOUT SOCIETY. THERE IS BOTH A HARD SELL AND A SOFT SELL APPROACH. TOURISM IS DEFINITELY A SOFT SELL.
FYI- CHRISTIANS DON'T CHOP PEOPLES HEADS OFF.

Let's GROW UP and do the right thing ! ! ! ! !
Posted by Consciousnes at 11:33 AM : May 11, 2007

Some of us "grew up" on September 11th. The fewer middle eastern muslims in this country, the better off we all are. So keep singing "Imagine" and pretending you live in a world where people you've never done a thing to want you dead.

[consciousnes]

OK PEOPLE, When are we going to learn, it's not the ordinary people of the middle east that have any hatred toward the US. It is the power brokers that see an opportunity to make money and increase their power of a larger population.
It is the same in the United States, only we call it Politics. (Who controls the money controls the power.)
We are the ONLY country in the world that has all the freedoms we do, but with those freedoms comes responsibility.
YES we need to defend ourselves, but we must make sure that we are defending ourselves against the right people and when we have to opportunity to do the right thing, DO IT and not wait for a more opportune time so we can look better or make more money off it or call the media, and wait so we get our names in the media.
Let's GROW UP and do the right thing ! ! ! ! !

[drivelphobe]

mswolfestock.....

You are right on the money. NO one likes them. They are a far bigger problem in this country than all the illegals combined. I just want them ALL out. Illegals and Middle Easterners.

I'm glad the U.S. is not encouraging middle eastern tourists. And I have no desire whatsoever to travel to the middle east. I never did care for middle eastern people or the muslim religion, and I have felt this way long before Sept 11. Oh yeah, go ahead and call me names for expressing my opnion - I don't give a hoot. Why SHOULD we ask these people to come to America? They have the whole rest of the world in which to spread their hate and narrow-mindedness. Why would I want to go to a country where women are treated like property, where women have to cover their entire bodies, where a cold beer cannot be had for any price? I'm sorry, but that sounds like HELL, not a vacation.
