Stand up and challenge islam to try to be peaceful

I appreciate the direct answer.

By and large, though, Muslims are peaceful people. They work, they pay their taxes, send their kids to school, drive the same model cars and you and I do, buy homes, and so forth.

The people causing the problems are a lost cause, I think. Challenging a violent person to change his or her ways and become people requires reason. Extremists of any stripe aren't generally amenable to reason.

How would you go about challenging Islamists to be peaceful?

Sorry, but continuing to link to the same paranoid website neither furthers your argument nor answers my questions:

1. Have you, personally, ever been attacked by a Muslim?

2. What would you do to challenge Islam to become more peaceful?

Yes, I've been attacked by the IRA (PIRA, actually, but I'm not going to quibble). I've also been attacked by the UVF and was the victim of an attempted mugging by neo-Nazis.

I'm defending non-violent Muslims (and I'm not attacking you, I'm trying to carry on a polite conversation). Your earlier posts - and apos if I got this wrong - seemed to express your concern about Muslim populations in European countries. You then said that it was time to 'stand up'. I took this to mean you'd like people to take a stand against Muslims generally. My point is that Muslims in general are not the issue.

2. What would you do to try and convince Islam to be more peaceful?
