Quote:Note that not all Muslims are extremists, eg Labor ministers Husic and Aly.
What is it about their views that make them "not extremist"?
Or is it more a case of, if Labor gives you money, you are not an extremist, or if Labor hands you a seat in parliament to suck up to Muslim voters and woke morons, you are not an extremist.
Poor FD, his ideologically incapacitated brain causes him to revert to asking inane questions, even after the causes of Islamist extremism have been explained to him.
Husic and Aly are enlightened/moderate Muslims who don't preach or practice murder, unlike the Jewish nut-job who murdered his own Israeli PM, Rabin, who sought peace with Palestinians by implementing UN resolutions 181 and 242.
Now of course:
(Daily Mail)
Cleric's fatwa to avenge Khamenei prompts fears of sleeper cell and lone wolf attacksThat cleric is an extremist.
And apparently a shooting incident in Texas, the day after Khamenei's assassination, was related to the fatwa.
And so it goes.
You can't kill 1.5 billion Muslims, an alternative course of action is required....
But don't ask FD...
I am asking you what it is about their views that make them "not an extremist".
I told you, but your ideologically incapacited brain demands I explain my explanation.
I'll take it slowly - as I often must do in your case.
Religious extremists - like the Jewish nut-job who murdered Rabin - take ancient scripture as
word for word 'gospel' truth, and hence will kill for their religion.
Religious moderates regard their religion as revealing the path to the 'True God', hence the 'religion of peace' narrative based on the many inspiring passages - alongside the dross - found in all scripture: moderates ignore the passages authorising genocide, murder, or capital punishmnet.
When I pointed that out to an educated Moslem I once met, he told me "you can't tell people their 'Book' is incorrect".....
And Malcom Turnbull once said "Islam is one of the great world religions".
Moderates.
Still beyond your comprehension?
Quote:Only an idiot would try to judge a person's views from things they do not do or say
FD in full flight: he turns the proposition upside down and asks an inane question.
One can judge people - who are not scriptural literalists - from what they say and do. eg "islam is a religion of Peace", and act accordingly, ie, live and let live.
Is Israel as bad as Iran?
Well...Neytanyahu IS wanted by the ICJ for examination, while many Moslem iranians are glad to see the end of the extremists ruling Iran.
Quote:Or is refraining from actually murdering people as high as you are willing to set the bar for "not an extremist" when it comes to Muslims?
When it comes to followers of ANY religion, that's the redline.
Quote:If I told you a neoNazi was not an extremist because I could find no evidence of him murdering someone,
Your error: an individual Neo nazi might be capable of murder for the 'cause', most aren't.
All fair-minded people have to tolerate Israel's botched creation (by the UN) on confiscated Muslim land because they must, because protest changes little in the short term (and no assurances for the longterm), given the failure of international law to implement UN res 181.
