ok i may need to make/bump this thread every time a major attack happens and all the "WE HAVE TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT ALL MUSLIMS" shite starts up. this is a handy guide on how to use basic words to describe different groups within the Muslim community

here is a very brief description of the 4 groups

1. Muslims - these are people who believe in the tenets of Islam. there are more than 1B on earth

2. Islamists - a subgroup of Muslims who believe that Islam should merge with state power to regulate societies

3. Jihadists - a subgroup of Islamists who believe in using force/coercion to install an Islamic state

4. Terrorists - a subgroup of Islamists who use terror attacks on civilians and non-combatants to further Jihadism

Do the "tenets of islam" condone violence in the name of islam or killing an infindel who they see as a threat to Islam? Please define this better.

Islamist- enablers - a subgroup of platitude- spouting, historically ignorant Western moral idiots who don't understand any of the above.

All share one thing in common; a religion that promotes Jihad and Shariah as the only means of sharing their faith.

All the idiots begging for a Crusade like invading Muslim countries and setting up puppet states isn't something we've already tried

Twice

And failed both times

Kinda like ... the original Crusades, which in the long run accomplished nothing except a lot of unnecessary death

obviously not all of the groups in OP support this, which is why there is a distinction

if your point had any merit, they'd all be Jihadists

since they're not, and that's a small subset of Islam, your "point" doesn't make any sense

5. Moderates - Muslims who do not act according to their holy scriptures and traditions.

When asked, 35% of British Muslim young men say suicide attacks are justified. Very vibrant culture

If there is an alligator in my house, I'm not really worried about whether he's the kind that subscribes to regularly consuming human flesh or just tacitly supports it. He looks and acts like the rest, so he should get the same treatment as all of the rest.

So they believe parts of the Quran are a lie or false teachings?

A small % of 1.5B people is still a lot of people

a lot more that the "alt-right" or "skinheads" or "neo-Nazis" that leftists like to hype

What slice of them is the portion who "hate everything about Western Civilization and refuse to assimilate"?

just like how most modern Jews don't believe in many tenets form the Old Testment, or how many Christians ignore similar parts of their bible

religions develop over time

If you find yourself on a 'watch list', you got to go. How many of these attacks are from people 'on the radar'?

Simply starting with this would eliminate a majority of attacks in the western world.

The Bill Maher show Ben Affleck meltdown breaks this down much better.

Can't remember the dudes name.

Nvm. Sam Harris.

Maher cited a poll where all Muslims polled gave a 50-60% answer of "yes". Should leaving the religion be punishable by death. I believe the poll was taken among European Muslims. Islamists are the group that can be further broken down I believe.

Which is why you keep the alligator out of your house in the first place. A lesson learned by no Progressive. Anywhere. Ever.
