Actually, a very big muslim crowd adapted the same concepts & faith I have, but sadly they were chased & killed either by nationalists or by Jihadists.Look, it's all in there. You don't agree with some of it - your very being is repulsed by it. That's okay, neither do I (and so is mine), and neither (so sayeth you) do many other muslims. That would be a fantastic message, but instead we get dissonant brinksmanship. Well, that ledge you're standing on is the springboard from which the "wild animals" jump. If you could recognize it in yourself (and this goes for all of us) then we might actually have a shot at dialogue between each other...and even "them".
Quote:Excuse Aladin for his savagery. Aladin is a wild animalI won't, but he's probably not a wild animal either. There isn't likely to be much difference between he, you, and I. Internalize that, and then you'll have some inkling as to why I hold the opinion that I do. If you're imagining that you simply could not believe in something if it were horrid, you'd be wrong. If you're imagining that nothing could incite you to action in the way that those "wild animals" act, you'd be wrong. -That-.....is precisely the problem with islam. It's uncomfortable for some to think about...but those jihadis aren't just jihadis. They're family men, they keep their word, they work hard. They believe in goodness, and they believe that they are good. Salt of the earth. They can make the same claim that you did;
"If all of this that I believe in, if all of this that I'm doing, were evil, savage, untrue....... then I wouldn't believe in it, I couldn't"...........and then.......:boom:

I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
