@Jazzhead It's entirely up to you whether to exercise respect toward your fellow man.
Respect like blowing children to bits at a concert? Knifing perfect strangers in the street?
if you don't want to associate with others outside your religious tribe, that's your call.
That's a strawman and an attempt at deflection, since nothing I said came close. Tell me, what's your opinion of screaming freaks who go around blowing up everything they come in contact with, and murdering children because the kids are "outside their religious tribe?"
My objection is converting the real threat posed by the sick cult of Islamofascism into a crusade of bigotry against an entire religion.
Spoken like someone who's ignorant (deliberately so or otherwise) of Islam's history. I would suggest you educate yourself on that. Begin at the beginning.
Not only is it wrong, but it's existentially foolish. We can't win a war against a billion and a half people. We can and must win the war against Islamofascism, but we can do so only if we recruit mainstream Muslims as allies. You've noticed, have you not, that it is a tactic of ISIS to claim that the West is at war with Islam? Why not prove them wrong, rather than confirm by bigotry that ISIS is right?
Yeah, how much "recruiting of mainstream Muslims" are we supposed to do, exactly? It's been sixteen years since 9-11. Why are we expected to beg them for help and explain to them why they should see things our way? That should have already happened long ago, with no "recruiting" necessary.
If moderate Muslims refuse to speak up, they're complicit.
