Michel once again celebrates his ignorance

Michel, it is amazing, watching your infinite capacity to celebrate your own ignorance. You wrote:

"They are us, they are like us, they are driven by the same motivators, Fanatics on both ends of the spectre and a big chunk of ignoramusses like me in between."

Well, at least you got he "ignoramusses" part correct. [rolls eyes]

You continue to overlook a major fact. You do not find Christians at any end of the so-called "spectrum" who are calling for death, rape, genocide, destruction, slavery, suppression of free speech, etc the way you do across the spectrum of Islam. Even your so-called, mythological "moderate" Muslims here in America are calling for censorship by protesting shows like 24, or movies that portray Muslims as terrorists. They want to eliminate any such portrayal, accurate though it is. They try to censor commentators and alternative news sources by instigating vindictive lawsuits against them in order to "silence" criticism of Islam. And as you can see right here in this forum, each and every one of the Muslims you have labeled "moderate" has done nothing other than to evade, obfuscate, and avoid the hard challenges thrown at them.

Also unlike Christians on every end of the spectrum, you do not see Muslims across the board calling for reform on any significant level, nor do you see them denouncing terror on any significant level. You do see them idolizing and glorifying their slain terrorists leaders though.

And you continue to fail to prove that your mythological moderates are anything more than a microscopic aberration in the greater phenomenon called "Islam". I have shown that such reform-minded Muslims are less than one ten-thousanth of one percent of all Muslims, perhaps even one one-hundred-thousanth of one percent.

Until you can prove that these microscopic aberrations of yours are a significant percentage of Muslims, you remain in denial of reality. So try not to pat yourself on the back too hard. You've still proven nothing, as you never have since you've been here. You still refuse to engage in the hard issues, such as CAIR and the situation in Detroit. You prefer to live in ignorance of reality. ...
