Goof-Up

My bad, folks. The last post on Muslim moderates confronting the extremists in Britain have already been covered here... and I was wrong the second time around.

Here's the first post on the incident. It links to Jihad Watch, which provides some evidence as to just how "moderate" these moderates are, courtesy of their own mosque's website. The title says more than enough: "Prophesy of the Utter Destruction of the Yahood [Jew]":

The Jews shall NEVER have peace of mind or feel secure, or arrive at the level of safety that they seek. This is a dream that shall remain unfulfilled because they do not seek to extend the same to others. All attempts at seeking to facilitate this unattainable peace shall end in failure. They shall continuously be under siege as has been ordained by Allaah as He has said:

“And (remember) when your Lord declared that He would certainly keep on sending against them (i.e. the Jews), till the Day of Resurrection, those who would afflict them with a humiliating torment.” [7:167]

We recognise that this return to grandeur [of the Jews] shall be short lived, by the leave of Allaah (Subhanahu wa ta'ala)...

Their website also contains an article defending Mohammad's stipulation that women are deficient in intellect, also found in the aforementioned link.

Here's the second (and erroneous) post on the same incident.

"Moderate". Huh. So far as it looks like, the only difference between these "moderates" and the extremists is that they don't support terrorism (?).

Islam vs. Terror?

Articles about anti-terrorism Muslims are like smack. I just had to go out and find some more.

Talk about ironic. Remember those Muslim douchebags who crashed the homecoming parade of British soldiers returning from Iraq with shouts of 'baby killers' and likeminded garbage? It seems they've managed to piss off even their own community.

Daily Mail reports:

As the radical Muslims began to set up their stall, they were surrounded by a [Muslim] crowd shouting 'we don't want you here' and 'move on, move on'.

Angry words were exchanged and scuffles broke out between members of both groups, with the extremists shouting 'Shame on you' and 'Get back to your synagogue'.

Nothing less from Islamic fundamentalists. But these Muslim "moderates", if they are to be labeled such, are continuing to surprise me. Hopefully this is not an isolated incident. More hopefully, these "moderates" are not the same ones Islamizing Europe (who are worse than the extremists, if you ask me) and actually just want to get on with their lives.

A Moderate Muslim Revolution

This article by Ryan Mauro over at Pajamas Media discussing Muslim moderates across the Muslim world rejecting terrorism is certainly cause for an increase of hope in such intimidating times. Ryan uses the recent political defeat of Hezbollah in Lebanon and the Mumbai imams who denounced terrorism after the Mumbai attacks as examples, among others.

Ryan writes:

On May 16, four women were elected to Kuwait’s parliament and the Islamists were handed a political defeat. The Islamic Constitutional Movement, a branch of the Muslim Brotherhood, and the Islamic Salafi Alliance lost four seats. They now only hold three of the 50 seats in parliament.

This is music to long-battered ears, make no mistake. It's wonderful that we are receiving help from the Muslim world in fighting Islamic extremism.

Whether or not these are the same "moderates" who demand that their local hospitals are cleansed of all depictions of Christianty and Judaism; that their jobs give them 5 prayer breaks a day; that refuse to ring up pork products at supermarkets; and that refuse to pick up people carrying alcohol or dogs in their raxis, however, I cannot tell you and can only hope.
