#1 Violence doesnt necessarily belong to Muslim extremism any more than it belongs to any other form of extreme behavior."

Maybe a true statement, but when most of Islam is part of the extremist group it kinda seems that you guys want to put your head in the sand. After all, how many New Yorkers did you see dancing in the street over the fall of Baghdad? How about the bombing of Tora Bora and the killing of thousands of fighters? Now compare that to how many Islam members were dancing in the streets and celebrating 9-11.

#2 "Violence doesn't necessarily belong to Muslim extremism any more than it belongs to any other form of extreme behavior."

Except in the 'Here and Now'(tm) it constitutes immediate threat. How did those other 'extreme behaviors' become history? Maybe because people at a certain point said enough and got extreme on the extreme.

#3 Extreme pacifism might be suicidal under certain circumstances but it is, by definition, political behavior that is non-violent.

The professors are spouting nonsense.

The line of argument has changed btw:

"Islam is peace.", "Most Muslims are not extremists.", "Extremists are not real Muslims." etc seems to be out.

Now they're explicitly defending ~~islamofascism~~ Muslim extremism.

Terrorism is a method that some, but not all islamofascists apply and/or condone but even for the most dangerous terrorist it is only a means to establish a totalitarian islamofascistic regime.

An islamofascistic government will, of course, systematically violate its subject's human and civil rights by non-terroristic but extremely violent means.

My apologies to the Professors for any question asked without caution!

#6 There are only two reasons to be careful when discussing Islam - you believe it, or you are scared $&!*less of Islamic violence.

#7 "Violence doesn't necessarily belong to Muslim extremism any more than it belongs to any other form of extreme behavior."

It doesn't belong to them, but they have certainly hogging the ball for the last few decades.

#8 It is as useless to argue with those that have renounced the use and authority of reason as to administer medication to the dead.

#10 Let me answer my question with a question: why should I worry about asking any questions about islam?

Hoot, professor of fine arts and member of some muslims studies and civ. Whats he do, go around and say, "This is where the buddist statues were. Here, they stored gunpowder in the ancient acropolis of Athena. Here is a fine example of a 1500 year old painting of the Nile - notice the faces scratched out and those blank spots were, what you would rightfully call 'cat food', figures.

So far as I can tell, there was only one componant of those detonated bombs which was manufactured in the land of islam.

#11 Another reason why I have serious doubts that "Boston Jihadi" Dzhokhar Tsarnaev will actually be executed - more likely he will serve life in prison, or life wid first eligibility for parole after 45 years.

THEN HE CAN FINALLY GET A PROFESSOR JOB AT COLUMBIA???
