An op-ed, written by what appears to be a grad student, that doesn't support your claim that "Islamism is the biggest and most deadly threat in the world today." Cool.
Did you expect that every single piece which lists the threats of Islam would specifically say that? I don't know why you would expect that.
Perhaps it has something to do with your wild statements and your failure to understand the sources you provide to attempt to substantiate them. Did you even read those pieces beyond the headlines? Nothing in there supported your claim that "Islamism is the biggest and most deadly threat in the world today".
See this is why i dont bother posting links anymore. You and other progressives just ignore them. And your whole shtick of "gee it was 30 years" ago so it doesnt count is ridiculous. It was dangerous then and xan you say it's gotten better? No its worse.
I absolutely read the pieces. Every word. They justify the fact that it is the most dangerous in the world. Read every word of each one and combine them all together and they show exactly why.
Nice little goalpost move there. First the complaint was that they were creating "separate communities." Now it's that they're creating the wrong kinds of separate communities.
Nope, are you deliberately misrepresenting what I said or did you just forget?
Tell me - in what jurisdiction does Sharia law supersede the regular civil and criminal laws?
Places in the UK and also in Texas. Dallas to be exact. We all know that in many Islamic beliefs and communities women do not have the same rights as men. A man may get a divorce in a Sharia court and a woman has no legal option to representation and US courts will not intervene. Women won't take that to court because they know what will happen in their communities to them if they do. I heard an interview with a woman who was able to get out and share her story. She won't go back becauae she was afraid foe her safety. Many women are not that strong.
I have a special dislike towards hypocrites.
No you don't. If you did you wouldn't support so many hypocritical things from the left. Your special.dialike is not for hypocrites its for conservatives who recognize some truths in the world that you do not wish to confront. Such as the dangers of Islamism.
You should tell that to all of the fundamentalists I grew up with, because they leaned pretty hard on the physical separation. In fact, I'd argue that American Evangelical Christianity has gone MUCH farther down the road of physical separation than the spiritual one. They've got their own schools and media ecosystems, and church programs most nights of the week so one doesn't even have to find other avenues for socialization. What they haven't done at all is excised themselves of the greed, power-seeking, corruption, consumerism, and idol-worship that is supposed to be a mark of wordly spirituality.
Once again you misunderstand scripture. Evangelicals live in the world. We do not separate ourselves from it. Its telling to me that you decry the fact they wish to spend time with each other studying the word of God. Somehow that is a bad thing for you?
What I am finding is that too many churches are running toward friendship.with the world. Following and supporting worldly things. And quite frankly too many Evangelical churches are starting to do the same. You are correct in that there has been a movement among some churches toward those things you mentioned. Particularly in the mega church movement. I won't deny it.
