CAIR prof: Suicide attacks not motivated by Islam, but by politics
2007-07-01
Blech.

#12  Considering that 90% of CAIR's members have bailed on them since 9/11, I'm not sure he speaks for anyone but himself and a dozen of his closest friends.

#11  The problem is that islam is both a religion and a political ideology. The religion and the ideology are inextricably intertwined. I don't know that one can be separated from the other. We need to determine whether or not the ideology and the religion can be amputated. There is no First Amendment control and they certainly don't care about such notions.

#10  CAIR prof: Suicide attacks not motivated by Islam, but by politics

Considering that Islam is a political ideology this really doesn't mean much.

#9  "the main cause of suicide terrorism is the presence of U.S. and Western combat forces on the Arabian Peninsula."

And their objection to foreign presence is motivated by what, exactly? And which religion do they exploit to build on this otherwise unfounded objection the necessary hate to create a suicide bomber?

And I've always wondered why Christian arabs don't get involved in this kind of thing with western countries.

#8  IMHO Suicide attacks are not directly motivated by Islam, but by Sexual Tension caused by following Islam, especially for homosexual 'slammers.

#7  Islamists have always said, throughout the centuries, that if infidels fail to subject themselves to Allah, the war Muslims bring against the infidel was the infidel's fault.

#6  CAIR's evolving tactics... After 9/11, we heard the "religion" was "hijacked" and was a religion of peace. We were "invited" to learn about islam and build bridges. Many in the civilized world took the advice...we learned and discovered the truth about this "religion". Now, the tactics change yet again and we're told that the death and destruction reigned upon the world by the religion of peace is our fault because of our "politics".

#5  Bet he is an advisor to the FBI and cultural sensitivity.

#4  If he isn't already, I hope this puts this asswipe on the FBI watchlist. Should be monitoring his mail, email, phone, bank accounts, any personal contacts, etc. This f**kup stuck his head out, so I hope they chop it off.

#3  Of course Islam is more of a political movement then a religious one.
