Clash between two Islams

USA Today:

Extremism is on the rise, but there remain moderate Muslim leaders who can win Islam's future.

Islam, writes Breitbart London's Milo Yiannopoulos, has a branding problem. Thanks to terror attacks and hate speech, it is, as the headline put it, a "tarnished brand" whose purveyors will have to change their ways if they are to see the Islamic world become, or remain, part of the civilized world.

 

"The longer politicians and silly left-wing columnists keep parroting the old lie that there is no relation whatsoever between the faith and the fundamentalists," warns Yiannopoulos, "the longer the honesty gap widens between what is happening in our streets and what our leaders say in press conferences, brand Islam has no future in the West. Dialogue, and compromise, and understanding, cannot begin. ... Lying about the scale of the problem helps no one; nor does pretending that there is no continuum between what we call moderate Islam and the Islam of the jihadist. We will simply have to decide where on that line we stop issuing people with passports."

But the most significant criticism of Islam in past weeks came not from traditional critics in Europe, but from inside the Islamic world itself, in the form of a speech, little-reported in the West, by Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi to Muslim clerics in Egypt. It was, as Roger Simon notes, a call for "a long overdue virtual ecclesiastical revolution in Islam."

 

Al-Sisi commented:

At a time when some Muslim spokespeople — like radical cleric Anjem Choudary — choose confrontation and threats, an actual leader is pursuing peace and reconciliation. Some have even suggested that al-Sisi should receive the Nobel Peace Prize for his efforts, though it is perhaps a bit early for that kind of talk.

 

At any rate, it is clear, from Pakistan to Iraq to Nigeria, that there is Muslim support for the angry and violent approach. It will be interesting to see whether there is similar support for President al-Sisi's more civilized take. The future of the Islamic world, and of the world as a whole, will depend on which approach wins out.

Sisi is correct. Western media may have spiked the story, but the Islamist nutjobs heard it just fine. Pray for his safety.

Lets make no mistake al-Sisi is not the reincarnation of George Washington, and if you go against him you may very well find yourself in an Egyptian Prison (Note there are many places you want to be..an Egyptian Prison is really not one of them.) That said, he may be a son of a bitch, but he's our son of a bitch.

Everybody there are sons of bitches. He seems to be ours...for the moment. I certainly did not mean to imply he's some wonderful creature. Heads of juntas rarely are.

No....just NO.....................from Rico

 

There are ONLY three ways to SUBMIT according to Islam:

- Convert to Islam

- Become a slave (dhimmi) to Islam

- Die at the hand of Islam

NO.....I will not "submit" [lan astaslem].

What does it 'tell' you when Western 'leaders' speak in either ignorance, or knowingly lie....and an Islamist tells you the truth?

Islam is not a religion of peace...unless you consider being dead 'being at peace.'

- It's not even a religion, it's a warrior death cult.
