Why didn’t the Vast Majority of Peaceful Muslims in the Islamic Society at Keele University rise up and say that they would never, ever have anything to do with Zakir Naik, due to his endorsement of the twisted, hijacked version of Islam as somehow countenancing violence and terrorism?

Muslims in neighborhood of Toulouse jihad mass murderer: “Mohammed Merah, you know, he’s a hero, he’s a martyr of Islam”

Tunisia: “This emerging movement of believers known as Salafis has seemingly appeared out of thin air”
Only if one were proceeding on ill-informed assumptions. In Iraq, policymakers were surprised at how flimsy the veneer of tolerance and modernity turned out to be.

Remember when that “radical fringe” was sure to be a harmless, ineffectual sideshow of a Tiny Minority of Extremists?

Malaysian ‘misunderstander’ of Islam ready to ‘wage war’ on unbelievers
A Malaysian Muslim calls for ‘war’ against non Muslims? During the ‘holy month’ of Ramadan? Wait, I thought only greasy ‘Islamophobes’ incited violence. Anyway, the Malaysian ‘misunderstander’ of the Religion of Peaceâ„¢ who’s ready to go to ‘war’ is not just your average generic jihadist — Senator Ezam Mohammad Nor is a Right Honorable member […]
