Links? I haven’t heard any news stories recently about radical Christians killing Muslims.
you seem to be very good at making racially bias statements. Do you always vouch for the activities of your friends?

The crusades were hundreds of years ago and people today tend to make the death count worse than it was. (the total killed by crusaders will never be known, but the top reasonable figure is around 200,000 for all crusades put together - and that includes the invasion of Mexico by Christian forces). This isn't the year 1200 AD, although the Muslim Jihadists quoted here want it to be.

Those of you who dismiss this as fearmongering are intentionally ignoring facts. Read it before you dismiss it, please.

A Nigerian spokesman for the Islamic militant group Boko Haram told Bikyamasr.com on Sunday that they are planning a “war” on Christians in the next few weeks.
The government has promised to crackdown on the group and has deployed military units across the country in an attempt to curtail the Islamic group’s activities, arresting and killing a number of members in recent weeks.
But the spokesman said the government “cannot be prepared for what is to come.”
He said, without giving specific details, “we will create so much effort to end the Christian presence in our push to have a proper Islamic state that the Christians won’t be able to stay.”
These aren’t the actions of just some thugs. This group has ties to Al-CIA-duh.

Nigeria's military chief said Thursday the Islamist Boko Haram sect, blamed for attacks that have claimed hundreds of lives, has ties to Al-CIA-da, the first time a top security official has publicly drawn such links.
"We have been able to link the activities of the Boko Haram sect to the support and training the sect received from AQIM (Al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb)," Air Chief Marshal Oluseyi Petinrin said.
Regardless where this is taking place, this group is killing human beings TODAY in the name of Islam. I thought this type of thing didn’t happen with muslims? I thought Islam was a peaceful religion?
Someone explain how it’s OK that these peaceful Muslims are killing Christians and trying to “end the Christian presence” to establish a “proper Islamic state” free from western influence. There are no Americans involved here so you don't get to blame America for this one, though I'm sure someone will try!!
Why is it such a stretch that Ahmadinejad and the Mullahs are partnering with the (CIA funded) Muslim Brotherhood to do the same thing?
Is fearing the spread of radical Islam really misguided when things like this (and many others...stoning people to death, cutting off hands, terrorism, etc) are taking place daily?edit on 9-3-2012 by seabag because: (no reason given)

The following is my opinion as a member participating in this discussion.
Blaming a whole religion for the actions of smalls sects is kind of insane.
I apologize, but there are plenty of Christian fundementalist groups among other religions who carry on the same kind of behavior. You don't have subscribe a particular religion in order to be a murdering band of individuals, hell bent on destroying another sect of society.
My problem is that there doesn't seem to be a proper group of moderate muslims who counter the actions of these groups. They are a silent majority. That's the real problem.
ETA: It's probably important to mention, for context, that I think all organized religion is ridiculous and should be done away with in the 21st century. Personal religion, no problem.

The problem with Islam is that the moderates say nothing when the zealots all for jihad and mob rule .Until the peace loving Muslims take a stand against the Muslims that premotes jihad and all non Muslim resentment , the stereotyping of Islam as a violent religion will stand.
I think your assessment is spot-on!!
This is very true and everyone is now aware that the so called majority of Muslims will never censure their "brother Muslim" for whatever wrong doings. Muslims have to understand that if they stay silent on this matter people of other faith will think that they condone these actions. I reckon situations like this to Israel and the Mideast...situation that can get worst and not better. Maybe ..Muslims do not give two hoots to what others think of them and if that is so...then its very typical. You guys need to speak up against violence to the general public. If you have the b**ls leave non combatants alone.
