Frankly ALL religion is largely determined by geopolitical boundary.....rather than by way of objective choices.
What strikes me as uniquely troublesome in regards to islam is this.
Though the extremist minority is most likely to take up arms/bombs and go ape-shit in the name of allah, the majority of those who do not, actually support the cause, verbally or silently....on some level. And even if this level of acceptance is slight...it's a FAR cry from meaningful condemnation.
There is nowhere near the "appropriate" outrage in islamic countries considering what these extremist groups are responsible for. And when I say "appropriate" I mean ANY meaningful outrage at all. No lip service from the PR heads, not the occasional "Gee, that was awful." I mean outrage with teeth....of any kind. In light of this, future generations will find no shortage of highly willing and motivated jihadists. Their hero's are not guys who score 50 points a night for the Lakers. They are not billionaire blonds who like to drink and drive. Their hero's are "martyrs" who's status as such is ONLY achieved through violent jihad.
How would the culture of white America address a huge upswing in violent KKK activity? Would American whites fall silent all of a sudden? Would the bodies of lynched blacks dangle unchallenged from trees in our city parks (Crips/Bloods & thugs aside)? Would nobody step up and confront it? I don't think so. Why? Because we generally and collectively do NOT agree with that. It would be addressed and it would be stopped.
Silence = acceptance....or at
very least acceptance through fear. The islamic culture enables the violent among them...the extreme among them by not challenging it in any meaningful way. And when your version of "news" comes from a sole source, who happens to be a fire breathing, infidel hating mullah ranting daily about
our evil empire, it's no wonder why so many see virtue in "the cause" of extremist islam....especially considering the alternatives available to them....which aren't much.
Extremist islam is literally sanctioned through both action and inaction in the muslim world.
If you guys haven't seen the movie " Obsession: Radical Islams War Against The West"...I highly recommend it. It should be required viewing for EVERYONE living under the shadow of extreme islam....and that would be most of the planet at this point.
