Qureshi first asked, “How many of you are normal Muslims, Sunni Muslims.” With only a couple of exceptions, virtually every hand was raised. He then asked,
“How many of you agree that men and women should sit separate?
The questioning continued, “How many of you agree that the punishment described in the Koran and sunna – whether it’s death, whether it is stoning for adultery, whatever it is, if it’s s from Allah and his messenger – that is the best punishment ever possible for humankind – and that is what we should apply in the world? Who agrees with that?” Again, the vote was virtually unanimous.
“Are you all radical extremists? … No one.” After getting nearly unanimous agreement on stoning of gays and adulterous women, Qureshi asked: “How many of you go to the normal Sunni mosques?” Almost every hand in the room was raised in response.
“So what’s the politicians gonna say now?” Qureshi asked in response. “What’s the media gonna say now? That we’re all extremists?”
Well if extremist and normal muslims share the same beliefs then what is the difference?
The most damning thing about most of the Islamic community is that in poll after poll, they express a high degree of support for the people who do these things. If it was a religion of peace, you would think those results would be different.
I'm not saying every muslim is an extremist, I'm asking the question how does a nonmuslim tell them apart BEFORE violence occurs?
Maybe by talking to them? How do I know the Christian who knocks on my doors isn't part of the WBC or some other insane religious organization trying to convert me to their way of thinking?
I hear jews killed jesus, and those Christians invaded and murdered EVERYBODY since the crusades right up into modern times.

Yep, they're still doing it.
Why there was just a Crusade last week. Killed a whole slew of Muslims and fed them to pigs... it was all over the news.
No wait.... I got mixed up. It was Muslims killing Christians... and it was in Syria.

I'd wager Muslims are wondering the same about the people we elect. "How can they tell a madman before he gets in office?"
