Well, no need to get snippy. If you mean that you assume I don't whole-heartedly agree with you, then yes, you'd be correct.
Relax McGuffy, I share your view, for the most part, where extremist muslims are concerned. |
It's very hard to explain, but there are no such things as 'extremist Muslims'. They are just Muslims. Us dumb Westerners make the mistake of judging the Muslims by our own standards. We shouldn't. In Islam, there's nothing extreme about calling for the deaths of all the infidels - that's simply following the religion.

No, they are almost certinaly not practicing Muslims. They have some form of Islamic identity, but unless they want to make Canada an Islamic state it's impossible for them to be Muslim - they wouldn't qualify to be called one.

You don't have to suicide bomb someone to be a Muslim. You have to believe in what is required of you to be one.

Those who think we should just "leave everyone alone and mind our own business" are deluded morons in my view. Not keeping tabs on some of these countries like Iran is about the least intelligent thing the west could do in this day and age.

Cool. I'm glad we can agree on some things. Go and learn about Islam, and I can pretty much guarantee that we'll agree on everything.
