moderate muslims like the unicord

"Hard-core Islamists are 20% of the world's Muslims? That's a crock, I would wager they aren't even 2%, and not all Islamists are Taliban-types. Moderate Islam is not a myth, it is the form of Islam preached in places like India, Lebanon, Egypt, the United Arab Emirates, Jordan and Turkey - the form of Islam that accepts that they can only convert people if they wish to, and if they don't wish to it cannot be done."

not only they are not 20%, they are more than 50%.

How do you call the 40% of muslims already in UK, ALREADY CITIZENS wishing to introduce sharia law in UK? do you know what it is sharia law? do you know that NONmuslims will be living as a second class citizen kind of people? paying a tax because they are not from the master arab/muslim race? Do you know that a non-muslim testify in trial is worth half of the testimony of a muslim? do you like this kind of jurisprudence?

India? In the provinces with a muslim majority, the muslims are forcing hindu women to wear the veil. How moderate is that? Imposing your customs on non-muslims?

Jammu: In a move that will once again create a fear psychosis among womenfolk in Rajouri district, a Hizb-ul-Mujahideen area commander on Saturday threatened them to follow the Islamic dress code of wearing a burka and a veil while moving in public places and warned that they would be killed if they failed to comply, officials said.
They said a poster of ultra Alamgeer Hafiz Gazali had come up in Chokiya village of Darhal tehsil in this regard.

Giving them one week to comply, Gazali, said the throats of those defying the order would be slit. Women not wearing burkas were un-Islamic, he said in the poster.

Lebanon?

The country where christian politicians are murdered on the spot? christian journalists are maimed on the streets? How moderate is that? Lebanon is on the verge of civil war since the 70s

Egypt?

In the past 2 years there have been 3 terrorist attacks against touristic places visited by westerners or jews. How moderate is that? In muslim egypt, the christian copts are treated like second class citizens

Copts in Egypt strive to maintain a tradition of academic and professional achievement within a discriminatory environment that discourages Coptic leadership. Although many Copts have excelled academically in disciplines such as engineering, medicine, pharmacy, and the natural sciences, Copts are largely excluded from leadership or high-ranking positions.

Copts are also minimally represented in several notable areas such as law enforcement, state security, regional and national government, public office, and diplomacy.

In addition to discrimination in education and employment, Copts have been targeted in numerous recent hate crimes ranging from arson and vandalism to physical assaults ending in murder. Unmarried Coptic women and girls continue to be targeted for kidnapping, sexual assault, and forced conversion by Islamic extremists.

UAE?

Priest to be deported from UAE for "religious crimes"

SHARJAH, 4 June 2005 — An unmarried Indian couple have been sentenced to one year in prison for hugging and kissing in a taxi in the Emirate of Fujairah in the north of the UAE.

Isn't Dubai the place where thousands of immigrant (christian) workers from Indonesia, India etc are treated like second class workers and denied all the rights so much that they are harming the construction of that disgusting disneyland for retard adults in Dubai?

Jordan?

aren't the majority of terrorists jordanians? the majority of palestinians blowing themselves up is either jordanian or egyptian

Turkey?

http://www.hr-action.org/thr/BjorgoWitte.htm

go and read the atrocities committed by turks in their rampant extermination frenzy against chrstians and jews. Go read how ataturk told them they are a superior race and they should rule on everybody, go and read how many priests and christian followers are constantly harassed by the whole population. Go and read how turks treat the "converts" to christianity.

I am appalled that so many people are totally ignorant of what happens around the world daily in the cesspool countries they call "moderate"
