I honestly don't know.
I never understood violent riots either to get your cause out there.
You don't understand terrorism ... And that's not meant as an insult :)
They are trying to promote fear and chaos... By making non Muslims fear Muslims they believe they can separate us from them ... After that it's simply a case of two separate groups eyeing each other off with suspicion ... It doesn't have to be like this ... Read up on the Moors in Spain during the 1400s .. Islam, Jews and Christians co existed peacefully and respected each other with religious freedom ... Till the Catholics intervened
It's the same kind of thinking that makes people think that hanging a black man from the tree will protect the white race.
1) Declare a holy war in the name of Islam, against the infidel oppressors in the West
2) Slaughter innocent people while shouting "Allahu Ackbar"
3) People recoil in horror and connect the atrocity with Islam
4) People demand that Muslims be purged from the country, hunted down and destroyed
5) Repeat from step 1.
Allah's will.
I dunno if 'promote' is the right word. It certainly convinces many people of the barbarity of Islam. If that's the intention, then the tactic was very successful.
I don't fear Muslims, but I'm most definitely an Islamophobe. Anyone who's read the Qur'an and doesn't fear Islam isn't paying attention. The entire ideology is rife with brutality, barbarism, oppression and sadism from stem to stern.
The purpose of terrorism is not to kill, but to coerce. It's about intimidation. Already a spirit of weakness and appeasement is starting to take hold of the west. People are afraid to criticise Islam. People are starting to make a virtue out of being accepting of Islam and demonizing those who aren't. The purpose of the terrorism is to soften the west up for mass immigration and the Islamification of the culture.
So in step 3 if we just pretend it's not Islam and in step 4 if we just don't react, will that break the cycle?
I haven't read the Quran, but I have read treatise on it, and yes, it is full of those things you mentioned... Much like the Bible is full of a lot of smiting .. I see Islam as being in the same place as Christianity was in the 1500s, hopefully the moderates will prevail
Thy why it's known as "TERROR" !
Good, thoughtful answer. Thank you.
Tuskegee Institute has recorded 3,446 blacks and 1,297 whites being lynched between 1882 and 1968. Lynching is a result of citizens taking the law into their own hands when someone is suspected of a crime. Terrorists have killed many more innocent, defenseless people. See Austrian School's answer. It make some kind of sense out of seemingly unreasoning, senseless murder.
We should here more from those "moderates." Better yet, the moderates should moderate the radicals.
It doesn't.
The key difference is that Christians of the 1500's had to DEPART from scripture to commit their acts of barbarity. Muslims did/do not.
Agreed. The adherents of any ism are the first line of defense against extremity in their own ranks.
Terror/Islam=tomato/tomoto.
I think what separates the radicals from the moderates is not what they believe but how far they are prepared to go to bring it about. Moderates still want an Islamic state. They still want Sharia law. They just intend to achieve it by mass immigration and high birth rates instead of mass murder.
Only the most liberal Muslims have something similar to our values. The truth is that liberal Muslims don't have scripture on their side. They're not real Muslims. The only thing the radicals hate more than an infidel is someone they see as an apostate. I really doubt they're going to have much influence.
it doesnt and its cruel to do that
