The difference between Garland and Paris!

At no point did I say that Islam did had an equal number of dangerous fanatics as Christianity. Not anymore.
However, there was certainly a time when Christian fanatics celebrated the Inquisition, autos-da-fe and other types of mob violence against nonbelievers. It took about ten centuries for them to do this, from the sacking to Alexandria to the Napoleonic Wars.

Yea a certain time.....centuries ago.  Nor have you pointed out who supposedly thinks that all or even most Muslims are violent.  Your words

[Plane]

  Can it be argued that people committing violence in the name of Islam are not good at Islam?

   The appeal of Isis to its recruits is that they are serious about Islam, this was also true of the Taliban, perhaps less so to Al Quieda , but still somewhat.

     Is it fair to accuse peaceful Muslims of being lukewarm?

     That is happening , from our point of view a peaceful Muslim is a fellow with a good attitude, but what does our opinion count for?

[sirs]

I recall, long ago, a foaming-at-the-mouth, very angry liberal, by the name of dobberx, proclaimed that a Christian wasn't a "true Christian", unless they openly hated gays, & advocated violence towards them.  To him, you weren't a Chrisitian, otherwise. 

Would Xo be inferring that Cu4 believes that only a "true Muslim" is one who openly supports Jihad, and if they don't, they really aren't Muslim?

  That exact discussion is taking place inside Islam.

    Mostly without our input.

[sirs]

Agreed.  And currently it appears there's not much being observed from the less-than-violent side supporters

[Xavier_Onassis]

I have no idea what goes on inside CU4's head. He does, however, regularly cut and paste these posts about how Muslims are hypocrites because some Muslims have been warlike rather than peaceful.

[sirs]

See?....that's not what he's saying at all.  That's your mutation, to fit some template you've decided that he must hate all Muslims

[Xavier_Onassis]

Every time some rightwing media source reports Muslims killing anyone, CU4 posts yet another of these "Islam is not really the religion of peace" crap. We have seen this about 50 times now. It serves no purpose to do the same tired shit again and again.

   So what is the opposite argument?

     Is this a resolved issue?

[Xavier_Onassis]

There is no "opposite argument".

That is like saying that there is an opposite argument to McDonald's slogan "I'm lovin' it".

After you have heard the same nonsense a dozen times, it is tired, old and useless. Time to find something new to obsess about.
