Yikes. Between this recap and yesterday’s stabbing of the pilot by the copilot en route to (where else?) Israel, and the Germanwings intentional crash of not many rears ago - it seems commercial aviation is a mini-barometer of the fraying of all things. My age and health, in all likelihood, spares me from worry about this particular awfulness afoot.
I think the problem is with “Palestinians”, not with Muslims.
Oh, you mean like bin Laden. Or maybe Khalid Sheikh Mohammed. Hmm… terrorism with airplanes.
Pardon, your multi-cultural slip is showing.
I highly recommended Robert Spencer’s The Myth of Islamic Tolerance. I’ve not seen any coherent rebuttal of the points it makes.
Islam is a pretty broad thing:
Not everyone is Salafi or vindictive Palestinian.
Yup, and that’s part of the problem. Fewer and narrower would be much easier to deal with — especially fewer. It’s the 90% of the violent ones that spoil the reputation of the other 10%.
That’s why I think groups should have a vested interest to clean up their collective act.
Spencer is a great scholar!
That’s how the melting pot worked in America. What was also different is that all those minorities desperately wanted to become Americans. They were accepted, in time, because they acted so as to fit in by agreeing to a few basic tenets. That’s not the case for a “religion” qua totalitarian political system which deeply believes in their own supremacy. I keep asking where are the loudmouths who constantly decry barely existent “white supremacy”. Islamic supremacy is really a non-issue???
