I give the man credit for his honesty. So is he the moderate voice of Islam? The man looks normal enough. Do you think all muslims are as honest and will admit to their violent ways., "We Kill for Everything".

Later in the video an Arab is talking about throwing homosexuals off tall building, the building should be really high. So I ask you, is this the religion of peace?

Fun Islam Fact: Did you know that in American mosques and all mosques for that matter, women are segregated from the men. Moderates, right?

Othodox Jews do the same. The quote "we kill for everything" is quite the opposite of the Jewish faith.

Demonizing muslims that are demonizing gays is hardly making any sense, seriously think it over again.

There is no need to demonize them, they are doing it themselves.

Agh. I don't have a problem with ANY religion except Islam.

Take a look around you. I sincerely do believe Christians, Sikhs, Hindus, Buddhists, Jains, Shintos, etc etc can co exist.

I know that when extremists of either of those faiths do something terrible, the moderates and leaders will speak out against it. Why not with Islam?

Yet I also disagree with this quote "Do you think all muslims are as honest and will admit to their violent ways., "We Kill for Everything" simply because my best friend is a Muslim and would NEVER EVER think of hurting me or anyone else. I love her to pieces and is one of the best people I have ever known. She has always been there for me and comforts me when I am upset. It is very important to remember to draw the line between moderate and extreme Islam.

Sharia Law is already in place in Texas, allowing for arbitration in civil matters should all parties agree.
Quote:
And of course the application of Sharia law was indeed a perfectly normal matter. American courts are governed by American law, but American law has long provided that parties to contracts can provide for alternative dispute resolution mechanisms (such as arbitration). American law has likewise long provided that some contractual disputes would be resolved with reference to foreign law, especially when the law is expressly provided for by the contract. It doesn't matter whether the arbitration or the foreign law is secular or religious -- secular and religious rules are treated basically equally, on the principle that the parties' contractual choices should be honored unless some extraordinary circumstance makes it unfair to do so.
Be cautious of those things to which you agree, read the fine print.

Texas, where west may have met east.

Islam is a good example of an organization where the majority is the extreme, and the minority is the moderate, which is suspect and watched closely by he majority.

Kinda reminds me of Nazism - only much worse.

I appreciate the feedback. There are moderate muslims, I know. Admittedly, I was being a little sensational earlier, We Kill for Everything. It was just a very telling statement and the man was refreshenly honest.

The difference is that as a whole, Jews do not segergate; only a small fraction within that demographic do. Conversely, every mosque in the United States and World segergates men from women.

This is pretty accurate. There are many moderate, peaceful Muslims but unfortunately a greater percentage of Muslims fall into the extremist category than other religions.
