"The US media, by and large, gives the leadership of the Muslim community in America largely uncritical treatment, and accepts their duplicitous words at face value. In 'Islam vs. Islamists,' we meet a French Muslim filmmaker living under government protection after having not once but twice gone undercover to document Islamist radicalism in Europe, including the 'double discourse' of Islamists saying one thing to a non-Muslim audience, and quite another when talking to Muslims. I've seen a related phenomenon in person on several occasions, in which Islamist leaders mouth soothing banalities about peace, love and tolerance, but get angry when you point out contradictions between their self-serving rhetoric and the reality of what they believe and advocate. Watching the film last night, I gasped at the grainy clip of several women being stoned to death -- aired after an Islamist imam in Canada said that adulterers should be stoned to death. I've heard the very same thing come out of the mouth of a Dallas lay Islamic leader, twice. (...)
"To be perfectly honest, the film does not give any indication of how widespread the more liberal interpretation of Islam put forth by Dr. Jasser, Sufi Sheikh Hisham Kabbani and others is. One of them interviewed, can't remember who now, said that the great majority of US Muslims just want to get on with their lives, and reject the violence espoused by a radical fringe. But -- and this is important -- he said that their political views are based on an Islamist perspective, which blames America and the West for everything wrong in the worldwide Muslim community, and which wallows in conspiracy theories."
The starkest symbol of internecine Muslim conflict are al-Qaeda's (Sunni) savage attacks on Shiite Islam's most holy shrine in Samarra, Iraq. A picture is worth a thousand words:
Samarra: Symbol of Islam's Great Divide
There can be no "negotiated" settlement between radical Islam and outsiders (infidels). The horrific war raging inside Islam is proof positive. Muslim versus Muslim terrorism confirms that Islam hates itself as much as, or more than, it does the Western World. Democratic leaders have ignored this internal Muslim conflict, choosing a peevish course, and misguidedly called our conflict with Islam a "war on terror." They have forgotten the sacrifices required for victory in WWII. (Could we have "negotiated" with Kamikazes?) Consequently, our war of wars will last decades, not just years. [..]
The war within Islam has been almost completely ignored by our leaders, despite the fact that we see Shiite Muslims killing Sunni Muslims and vice versa almost every day in Iraq. ...-

A great majority of US Muslims blame America and the West for everything wrong in the worldwide Muslim community? And I was under the impression that this majority of "moderates" were our indispensable allies in the War on Terror. The real war on terror begins and ends at home: Muslim immigration=Western suicide.
A few years ago the PBS program NATURE had one and it mentioned this GAIA poppycock of wackos like JAMES LOVELOCK and we can expect more of this nonsense from PBS which is pretty left-wing
PBS, CBC, BBC . . . all the same socialist mumbo-jumbo.
The truth is out there

Reasoning moderate muslims are of no use to socilsists...they need victims to further their utopian crusades so they manufacture them and omit reference to any group identy who is not a "victim".
Lefty is flying with the radical islamic theocrats, or any moonbat commie despot because the purpose is the same...to claim victimization by the capitalist-corporate-military industrial complex of US imperialism.
" ...... he said that their political views are based on an Islamist perspective, which blames America and the West for everything wrong in the worldwide Muslim community, and which wallows in conspiracy theories."
A perspective that could change if any had the sense to pull their heads out of their own asses long enough see that in fact the majority of the problems that the worldwide muslim community suffers is due ENTIRELY to their beliefs and value system!
That's a great link, Truth Seeker, and historically accurate in every respect. It's quite incredible how people today (and the media) can be so completely ignorant of historical events which occurred within living memory.
Great link,truthseeker.Why is it if you or I say the Arabs are genocidal,it is a hate crime,but not the reverse when they call for the destruction of the Jews?
said it before will say it again. if you follow the koran you are not a moderate anything. the book precludes moderation.
it is about time someone started writing the truth about these thugs and criminals, who hide under the cloak of their religion.....simpson has a good article on newswatch, as well....and the fact that the taliban/iran connection has announced suicide bombers for Canada should wake every leftoid/moron/moonbat in this country up....time to start calling the members of the "religion of peace" on their s#$%....no more free ride, either you are a Canadian, or you are the enemy!

...ain't multiculturism great?
Hear! Hear! I saw "What Happened in the Middle East" a few days back before Truth Seeker's link.
YES. It is extremely good and extremely accurate.
BTW. Another superb source to which Horowitz writes the introduction: (it's PDF about 64 pages (32 x 2) which is exceedinly good. Rock-solid history.
