According to: LINK
Why will Canada call it a terrorist act, but we won't? I know you say because then we'll have to do something about it, but it is mind-boggling that coming up with euphemisms for what we all know it is is a workable strategy against a growing threat. It is merely putting your head in the sand.

Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper described the perpetrator of a "brutal and violent" attack on the Parliament complex in Ottawa that left a soldier dead Wednesday as a "terrorist" in an address to the nation.

the idea that the average Muslim in the west is simply waiting for the caliphate to return is likely inaccurate.
and I'm not arguing that they are, either.
but the easiest solution to the problem is for the islamic masses to take a stand. I have my doubts of this happening (see my original post in this thread)

Workplace Violence.
As long as the Left controls the narrative, it will be tough to analyze anything truthfully and accurately, because they politicize everything. When the Left politicizes, it distorts, obfuscates and deceives.
Get rid of the Leftist influence on our Government and culture and we can find the Truth. Truth will evade us as long as Leftists are in control of the narrative.

quote:Yeah, it's almost as bad as mainstream Americans who can't seem to take their lips off government's dick long enough to tell it to stop using our tax dollars to create, train and fund these "terrorists."
The way mainstream Western Muslims treat radicals reminds me of those parents you see on those intervention shows, who have a drug addicted kid and denounce what they do, but at the same time when push comes to shove continues to enable the behavior by letting them live with them rent free and all that, because "I love him too much to just throw him out on the street"
quote:So because mainstream Americans stand idly by while their government creates, trains and funds global terrorism, it must mean that they agree with the basic principles, too, amirite?
These mainstream Western Muslims are the same way. They can denounce what they do all they want with their mouths, but they need to back it up with action, which they don't do. I am guessing it's because deep down, they agree with the basic principles of the radical movement.

What sorts of things are you doing differently than us silly "mainstream Americans" in your day to day existence here?

I don't really know what your proposal is. Muslim groups, some of them, do condemn violence.
My proposal is to push the Western Muslims into being more proactive in weeding out the radicals. These zealots aren't just happening to stumble upon their radical philosophy like finding a quarter on the ground, it's something they learn and usually from someone local they have built a relationship with. People in those positions are known within their communities.
I thought the addicted relative analogy used earlier in the thread was brilliant. To stick with that, what needs to happen is the non-radicalized Muslims need to start practicing some very loud and very public "tough love".

Except for Executive orders I would state that we bend to the laws and regs of our govt..
Government don't like whims. Not enough force behind it

So when will it be time to call for Muslim groups to better police themselves (or risk pushing the government to police them better)?
