Really? No anti-Muslim propaganda on the 75% preaching jihad figure? What's all this then?

I'd call it shoddy reporting of the facts...

Quote:

... former counter terrorism agents from the FBI, CIA and U.S. military to conduct undercover reconnaissance at some 2,300 mosques and Islamic centers and schools across the United States. So far a little more than 100 mosques have been surveyed and around 75% of those are preaching anti-western hatred, insurrection and jihad through sermons by Saudi-trained imams and anti-Western literature, videos and textbooks.


So, out of a sample of some 2,300 mosques, a unofficial comment after just 100 surveyed says that " around 75% " are what... teaching pro Islamic ideas ? Or are they teaching that it's fine to blow up school buses and wedding receptions ?

Big difference there.


If you're going to post Pirate News as 'propaganda' too, then ya got me. Paint me guilty on missing this one.

What do you mean by "There's no propaganda which states " 75% of American mosques are teaching ... radical jihad "? I just DIRECTLY QUOTED the statement that 80%of mosques...look it up, it was said. Oops, I see links have already been provided on this, but here’s some direct quotes:

2004:

Quote:

"I would say, you could say that 80-85 percent of mosques in this country are controlled by Islamic fundamentalists," he said. "Those who are in control. The average Muslim, no, they are loyal, but they don't work, they don't come forward, they don't tell the police … ."

1999, from a right-wing site:
Quote:

Naqshbandi Sufi leader Sheikh Muhammad Hisham Kabbani declared in a State Department Open Forum that Islamic supremacists controlled most mosques in America: “The most dangerous thing that is going on now in these mosques,” he said, “that has been sent upon these mosques around the United States – like churches they were established by different organizations and that is ok – but the problem with our communities is the extremist ideology. Because they are very active they took over the mosques; and we can say that they took over more than 80% of the mosques that have been established in the US. And there are more than 3000 mosques in the US. So it means that the methodology or ideology of extremist has been spread to 80% of the Muslim population.

Terrorism expert Yehudit Barsky affirmed the same thing in 2005, saying that 80% of the mosques in this country “have been radicalized by Saudi money and influence.”

On the Laura Ingram’s show, January of this year:
Quote:

HOST: Congressman, how widespread do you think this radical jihad sentiment is in US mosques? How many mosques do you think are infected?
KING: The only real testimony we have on it is from Sheikh Kabbani who was a Muslim leader during the Clinton Administration, he testified back in 1999 and 2000 before the State Department that he thought over 80 percent of the mosques in this country are controlled by radical Imams. Certainly from what I’ve seen and dealings I’ve had, that number seems accurate.

Quote:

King has often repeated the dubious statistic that "80% of mosques are radicalized" to justify his single-minded focus on Muslim Americans. But this statistic, while often quoted by conservatives, has no empirical basis. It was thrown out glibly by a single person, Shaykh Muhammad Hisham Kabbani, who based the more than decade-old claim not on scholarly research but on his own, anecdotal evidence.

Look it up if you don’t believe it or don’t like my references: It was said, by more than one (all from the right), and it IS propaganda.

As for
Quote:

Because they ARE Muslims, and to deny that would be folly. I refuse to play stupid to placate the PC nazis”, again, nobody is denying that there is domestic Muslim terrorism; please back that up...only you can’t. As to “shoddy reporting”, you didn’t post a link to that quote, so we can’t see it for ourselves to verify it’s accuracy OR the content. It states “100 mosques”—which is a tiny percentage of mosques in this country, what mosques were investigated, when that was written, we can’t know.

That you are stuck on the issue and need to keep saying people are "ignoring" and "denying" it pretty much says it all.

I'm totally fine with these hearings, and the notion of investigating the spread of extremist Muslims in the country.

I do find it hilarious that righties loose their shit if someone should even dare to suggest that right-wing extremists should be looked at as well. Not even in lieu of.... but just mentioning the fact that there are right wing terrorists just sets them right the fuck off. Very amusing, and rather telling about them.

Canttakesky "Then leave MUSLIM out of it." Focus on "extremist psycho violence" which comes in all colors and religions."

Didn't watch the video AUrapt put up did you? He goes through all the trouble to make his case with examples and a video from a leftie agreeing and making his case....what does he get "Not all Muslim" crap. Knowing he never said "All Muslims"

Leave MUSLIM out of it? What is the title of this thread? You know better.

Well, for one, the original subject of the thread is domestic Islamic terrorism, as in, America. Under which case I agree with you that the only way we can define terrorism in America as separate from ordinary crime is attacks on civilians and non-combatants in the name of an agenda or religion.

But for two, after I read through all of those, it really sounds less like Muslim terrorists out to promote Islam, and more like sectarian violence in an unstable region of the world.

Most of those appear to be Sunni/Shiite conflict, with some hits on the pacifistic Sufi.

I counted:

Hindu: 1
Misc/Coptic/Foreign soldiers/"priest"/"cleric" (which might be Muslim, but I erred in the favour of your argument): 12
Christian: 19
Buddhist: 14
Total: 321

I might have missed some.

Unless you can cite specifically WHERE I have indicating I'm either ignoring OR denying the issue, you should shut your fucking mouth and stop repeating that falsehood.

It's your favorite statement, but it has NO TRUTH TO IT. Nobody is ignoring OR denying there's a problem; we are saying that there is MORE than Muslim terrorism going on so all terrorism should be "investigated"; we are saying that untruths have been said to try and paint a picture which is fallacious; we are saying that targeting mosques and saying 80% of them teach terrorism is false (which it is); we are saying that King and others have political motives beyond just "investigating" terrorism; we are saying there has always been terrorism, and to make such s public show of investigating Muslims alone, especially when there have been OTHER acts of terrorism having nothing to do with Muslims just recently, is a farce.

I pointed out several ways in which this is a farce, in that King chose to leave AUTHORITIES in terrorism completely out of his "investigation", and lies have been told.

But nowhere, at any time, has ANYONE denied there is a problem; nowhere has ANYONE ignored that there is a problem. We just don't obsess about it like you do, partly because we know as individuals we can't do anything about it and because there are other VERY important things going on which affect EACH OF US individually. The odds of any one of us being the victim of terrorism...Muslim or otherwise...are miniscule, so we choose not to WALLOW IN IT.

I'm sick to DEATH of you spewing your favorite little bugaboo that we're "ignoring" and "denying" anything. But of course it won't stop; at every conceivable opportunity you will claim it again. That makes you a flat-out liar, so there's no reason to pay any further attention to you and your paranoia.
