And we do have a problem.

These seem to all be isolated incidences. See my post on the previous page about murder. Give me a moment and I'll find the post number.

Here we go post #68 this sums up what I basically think about this whole discussion. https://www.city-data.com/forum/14790909-post68.html

People are condemning it. You just don't see it in the MSM because they choose to only show the negative, gets ratings up. Now if you actually cared whether or not they were speaking out you would have youtubed it or googled it and would have found plenty of speaking out. But you don't want to do that because its more convenient for you just to hate.

Here is more on my post above....

I'm not going to do it for you, if you want to see these things you will but if you want to be convinced that Muslims are evil then you will be convinced of that because that is what you want. Murder is murder. Mass murder is mass murder, it doesn't matter what the justification is or who is doing it, the are murders and mass murders just the same. If you are going to condemn a whole religion because that religion has people who murder and use their religion as justification, first off who cares about the justification and then your going to have to hate every religion because even though on the news they don't say " a christian just shot and killed a family" they do. Every religion has people who kill, and justification for any murder is never justification.

Just because you are not in the thread where they denounce it doesn't mean they aren't there. Average Muslim Americans don't have to power to put there voice out in the MSM unless the MSM chooses to have their voice out there. The MSM doesn't want there voice out there because they want to project ALL Muslims as violent so Americans think we are still justified to be overseas fighting in the wars.

Default Beheading not painful?

If you kill you die, I could care less if its electric chair or beheading as long as it isn't long and drawn out torture. Beheading isn't painful or drawn out because your spinal cord is instantly severed so you feel nothing you are dead which is the point of execution.
Unbelievable!
Did you hear or seen the beheading of Nick Berg?

I'm not interested in watching someone be beheaded. I have a feeling you are reacting to me saying beheading is not painful? Would you explain the video or explain how you think beheading is painful if the spinal cord is instantly severed so you become paralyzed immediately. If done correctly it should not involve pain because you will be dead almost instantly. Also what do you care if convicted murders feel pain if it is somehow painful. An eye for an eye right? The victim felt pain so so should the killer.

Isolated incidents they are, there is no conspiracy there. Just different ideology. Different belief system, with different set of rules. Sharia rules.
If some Muslims that live in the USA think that it is permissible to kill their wife or daughter because by Islam laws she shamed their honor than we have a problem.

Why are you looking for stupid excuses for the Radical Muslim?
Listen to what ex Muslims, or people who are trying to reform Islam will tell you.
The danger is here and people like you facilitate it by you PC crap.

Wafa Sultan who wrote the book "A God that Hate"
Tells her story of understanding what Islam stands for.
Coming to the US.
Meeting Arabs here.
Realizing that among themselves declare their hate for America, and when they talk to American say how much they appreciate America.
She realized that her Arab / Muslim friends are leading double life.
She spoke against it. The result- She has fatwas on her life. That's death sentence, that means that any Muslim can kill her and go in front of Sharia judge and say that he heard her say bad things about Islam, therefore he killed her, ad is also entitled to her property.

Do you know who Nick Berg was? Or Daniel Pearl?
What was their crime?
They were not judged in a court of law, they were painfully and slowly murdered.

I wanted you to watch the video because you keep insisting it's not painful?
Are you planning to attend beheading classes? I hear they have some in Pakistan.

The bold: We have an ISOLATED PROBLEM. We have many isolated problems. I couldn't give half a **** if they had a reason for doing it. Most everyone who murders has a reason for doing it. That doesn't mean we say "Oh those who dislike their wives should be arrested before they murder them" because some people have murdered their wives because they hate them.

The Blue: I am not making excuses for radical Muslims. I am trying to defend regular Muslims who don't do this stupid ****. Everyone in this thread seems to blur the line between radical and non-radical and I'm trying to make that difference known.

The red: Its not PC crap. Its defending those who you choose to attack because they just so happen to be in a religion that has extremists in it. God forbid you ever realize that.
