No one is denying there are nutters out there. What they ARE denying are that there are condemning moderates. Keep shouting your hate. See where that gets you.

Here's what the Arab newspapers made of it. But of course they are all trying to steal your big tv.
Probably not exactly the real vibe coming out of the middle east on this issue Chig. Of the examples you use, one is from Lebanon which is not a wholly Muslim country, another is from an English language newspaper and another from a privately run paper. I don't think these are all that representative of the main stream.

Really? Show me national newspapers from the Arabic world condoning the attacks then?
In this thread I have covered every request of those asking to show moderate Islam, requests for which the criteria changes every time I do so.

Meanwhile on Fox News.

Still going Chiwigi? lol.
Always willing to argue reason with the right wingers. There is already enough pro intolerance bullshit out there, but I also realise those who hate don't hate for any logical reason and I'm banging my head against a brick wall as any evidence is ignored.

Chiwigi, all you have done there is shown some of the most liberal media responses from the Arab world and then the most right wing mainstream media response from the western world. I haven't come down on either side, just pointing out that perhaps most peoples views are within this spectrum.

That's absolutely not true. The papers are national papers and the fox guy is nowhere near the extreme end. He is sadly holding the warped opinion of many people.
Most of my links are from the independent newspaper. It's funny how links don't come back the other way from normal Muslims and asylum seekers in Aus condoning terrorism.
I like this little radio clip that sums up the absurdity of blaming a who,e race and/or religion for thE nutters.

Remember how we labelled all white people as terrorists when Martin Bryant killed 35 people with 23 others injured? And how we did the same thing when Julian Knight killed 7? And the same for all those school shootings in America?

No? Because that'd be absurd, right? Making sweeping generalisations of an entire race/religion based entirely on extremists' actions?

All white Christians weren't labelled terrorists, because none of the people above were terrorists. Your point is valid, but your examples are not.

Yeah, it's weird.

We'll never really know what drove Martin Bryant, but had he have posted manifestos against playing sport on the Sabbath, "HEY EVERYONE GOD HATES FAGS" or claimed to be avenging aborted foetuses then extremist Christian Fundamentalism would've absolutely got a run.

If the Columbine kids were cut from the same cloth as opposed to being psychologically melted by the campaign of bullying against them it would've been at the forefront of public concern given Christendom is free to cop it left, right and centre, whereas any fingers pointed at I, Slam (michaeljordan.gif) are immediately fobbed off as racism.

Allowing for so many Islamic exclusion zones across Europe is going to be the downfall of many, geeze I'm glad that I live in a sunburnt country.:thumbsu:

You might want to familiarise yourself with the concept of motive.

I'd argue that neither the point nor the examples are valid because nowhere is like being compared with like.

Also, there's a reason for this.

..... If Islamic ideals and teachings and flags get thrown up by terrorists and those involved in terrorism, then what other choice does Joe Six Pack have other than to summise (sic) that Islam is involved?
That it's not involved?

Firstly what is an 'Islamic exclusion zone' in practice? Secondly aren't sunburnt countries the most affected?

They're areas where Muslims have taken over (heaps in France) where non-muslims including fire/ambo's,police don't enter due to their personal safety reasons. In France alone there is an estimated 750 exclusion zones.
