I just asked someone who is a professed "moderate" if he supported Sharia Law. His answer, "That is a trick question." LOL! So much for believing in "moderate" Islam. He is living in Saudi Arabia, but claims he is also American.

So one person living in Saudi Arabia speaks for every Muslim?? Talk about moderate.

I see. So the 'anger' is what happened in the street event in Michigan?

Where will that anger lead? Ya think they'll just go home and have a drink and cool down? Maybe a mid day prayer? Pray for peace and commit angry violent acts?

This guy's statement was a veiled threat (thinly at that). What this guy says is followed by far more than 'moderate' muslims. He speaks to the radicals.

If any NY politician had the balls they'd pull the property from him for making a terrorist threat. Where the h*ll is Big Sis on this threat? That's what they do if they deem an American making such a threat.

What is happening in this country is two standards are being created. Muslim and 'the rest of us'. And elected officials everywhere are pandering to one side, it ain't 'the rest of us'.

With a little patience the video will be out today.

That way all the little spineless weasel liberals will be able to hear it in context and praise him for his restraint. (As if a veiled threat means anything to them).

It's simple. Moderate muslims don't exist.

It is a trick question.

There's no hard and fast agreement amongst Muslims as to what Sharia law includes.

I've seen people on here who seem to believe that Sharia law means women in burqas and public beheadings for minor infractions. Yes, that is ignorant, but ignorance is far more widespread than you might think.
