How about we all read up on extremism in any way shape or form first?
You do realize that every time anyone with any sort of press coverage, such as that idiot Pat Robertson starts railing on Islam as a whole for the actions of a few..
That they just aided in the recruitment of that many more young folks to the anti-american cause?
Why should we do things that just make them say, "see? this is why we do this. If we let them get away with this, why, they'll be after us! Look, they advocate nuking us!"
And people want to know why radical movements spawn so quickly, regardless of creed? It's because people already have zip hope in life, and when they have someone they can hate..well, that just makes it easier on life, doesn't it?
Here's an idea. Why not lead by an example and show them just how much we are a tolerant nation, exacting justice only on those who commit crimes, and not those who *might*. Recall that the majority of the people doing these violent protests are being led on-I believe the white house and intelligence sectors have actually recently confirmed this.
By your logic, every single gun owner on this board ought to be locked up because they have the potential to kill someone, and everyone who's advocated violence against islam ought to be locked up as well, since they not only have the means but a motive.
Do you see where I'm going with this? The logic is simply absurd. It's the same bunk the anti-gunners have been using against US for decades now.
I've read the Koran.
It can be interpreted very violently, for sure.
But so can the bible-do you not think that the radical muslims are using the exact same arguments that those who would hate islam as a whole so are using? Think about that. What exactly are you trying to propogate here?
