Islamic radicalism is somehow creating a unified cause between nations.

Well other than Jordan, all those countries are officially at war with Israel. Plus Qatar is Hamas' biggest supporter. I'm not sure where you're getting your info from.

And please let's not turn this into another Israel thread.

It's such BS that they always get lumped into this stupid western, conservative white people version of themselves. Where they either

a) are a terrorist

b) support terrorism, or;

c) are okay with it

Most Muslims in Canada fall under the category of

d) I'm just a ****ing Canadian who gets up and goes to work and wishes for peace everywhere like everyone else, and can't stand when ignorant white Canadian's think I'm anything different because of my religion/culture/background.

So ignorant.

MOD EDIT: No insults, please.

But that's exactly what it is. I talk to Muslims on a daily basis. They hate the extremists, they hate terrorism just like you and me do. At the end of the day, peaceful Muslims going about their day have as much connection to terrorist groups as we do; None.

So they don't owe anyone an apology or explanantion and don't need to separate themselves from terrorists because they're not....terrorists.

Do you even realize how unfair you're being to regular, law abiding, peaceful Muslims (see: the majority)? It's ridiculous, they're just people and deserve to live their lives in peace without having to answer for extremists or be profiled and labeled.

I'm going to get some quotes tomorrow and post them in here for you. Not that it'll change your mind, because you seem fairly extreme and set in your views.

Quotes? quotes from who? give your head a shake, for every "quote" you can get I can get 10 more. It doesn't make a difference.

You don't get it, Muslims have no real leadership except local faction, quotes for one person could mean nothing to another.

And of course most Muslims hate extremists but stand up and fight them and your religion, talk is cheap. especially when whispered.

Ignorant Tool Bit would be a great song title.

huh?

I'm just a ****ing Canadian who gets up and goes to work and wishes for peace everywhere like everyone else, and can't stand when ignorant white Canadian's think I'm anything different because of my religion/culture/background.

So...your just a ****ing Canadian but assume I'm a white canadian...actually your a racist not a tool.

And to be honest, I don't care about your religion/culture/background, you could have purple hair and screws threw your nuts and I would love you just the same.

That was me mock quoting a Muslim to make a point. I'm a whitey Christian raised turned athiest.

And 5 Arab Muslim countries are helping America get rid of ISIS... I'm not sure what else Muslims can do T@T.

Read what I wrote for a change and nice try to derail a thread. Diplomatic relations. These countries have proven via Arab Spring that destabilization is their threat, not Israel. The sooner groups like Hamas, Hezbollah, ISIS etc are eliminated, the better for their regimes.

In general, most people are silent any time things like this happen. Many muslims are speaking out though.

Well the mods have taken care of sexism which was good so now maybe they can take care of T@T and his racist, ignorant, hateful views of the world. I truly feel sorry for someone that has that much hate in them. The world is not as scary as you make it out to be.

If a radical christian group were flying airplanes into buildings to kill thousands, chop heads off of innocent people just for the "show" or announce across the world to kill all non believers of Jesus. what would happen? not only would the pope himself freak every true christian would hunt down the idiots and stop them in their tracks. Every ounce of my athiest body believes this.

Overall the Muslim community is way too silent, all you hear is it's not us..it's them. or the muslim religion is a peaceful religion, really,really it is...please!!

One problem with the muslim religion is...no ****ing leadership. Second problem is it a religion(truthfully a cult) and only brainless dummys would kill or be killed in it's name.

Now, please, put me on your ignore list and **** off.

To be fair, a lot of the Imam's have become a lot more vocal, even the one here in Calgary. Not only have they been preaching against radicalization to both their congregations (probably not the correct term, but you know what I mean) and the public, but have opened programs targeting at risk Muslim youth (and youth in general) and bringing them back from radicalization.

Its funny T@T is throwing out the racist card in defence of his obtuse bigotry.

[SportsJunky]

I'm watching Obama addressing the UN General Assembly right now. He is appealing to other nations to step it up against extremism.

We often think of Australia as being similar to Canada but I have read many stories regarding their failure to integrate a multicultural society and this causes ethnic tensions among immigrant groups which leads to extremism.

Yeah, in that I have heard they are a bit like France, who has also had problems integrating immigrants, especially muslims.

However, to the original comment, Indonesia still might have supplied more, we just don't know about it cause the record keeping is probably far worse.

Radical Christians don't have to hijack airplanes and die in the process, they can just use drones.

Have you ever been to the bible belt? There is a contingent of Christian extremism in favor of elimination of all things Muslim that is pretty clearly present. You don't have to look that hard to find it up here either. You sound like you'd fit right in with them except the atheist part.
