    I know some of those mosques, and it sadly doesn't surprise me.

    This is extremely interesting (and scary) info, tallanvor, thanks for posting.

    Where is Mathloom saying either "Islam wins again, HAHAHAHA" or "These people are not Muslims, Islam has nothing to do with it"...

    Every religion has their fair share of extremists or radicals. OTOH I like the results from our government on preventing these extremist from actually doing harm to our very diverse country. I just fear that the actual religion or even race will be stereotype as all terrorist. We should be above that stereotype in this day in time.

    The "Islam wins again, HAHAHA" thing was a joke. You should really let it go.

    Islam specifically seems to have more, and more dangerous ones.

    lololololol. Just looked up the founder of this "research" organization (quotation marks are used for ridicule purposes). Lookey here what I found:

    http://www.fair.org/index.php?page=1443

    dude has a great history of honesty and great journalistic work. Something seems just so genuine about him! :rolleyes:

    Here's one part that stuck out to me:
    and if as much as followed your own advice OP and "clicked to see the description" of each "shady activity/mosque" you would find that most of the claims are bogus. Check this description out, for example: "Several men involved in a conspiracy to blow up targets in South Florida attended this mosque regularly". Oh really, so this automatically makes the mosque a safe house for terrorists right? Because 2 crazy mofos attended regularly. Makes great sense.

    Not surprised to see mr. ATW get all aroused and excited upon seeing this b.s. What a joke.

    GTFO

    The mosque is suspect if the reason for the attempted attacks where done in the name of Islam.

    I thought I would print the whole clip in question:

    It is a weak map.

    Those are only court-cases related to Muslims. It makes sense that there would be more of there where there are Muslims. Just like there would be more court cases related to Christianity (abortion clinics, etc) where there are more Christians (more churches present). I don't see why that's significant.

    Also, where is Hakeem's mosque?

    Me thinks this is a highly selective set of markers.

    I also think bigots love to drink bigot juice.

    Firstly, there is absolutely no value in someone declaring that something is done in the name of Islam because God doesn't talk to people. It's a rule in wahhabist Islam.

    Secondly, where in your description does it explain why this is done in the name of Islam? I don't see it.

    If you are trying to fight terrorism, it helps greatly to know it's cause. It helps know where to search for information and helps prevent future attacks.

    I didn't post the whole description (it's about 10 paragraphs long). here is part of the description:

    It seems that someone is claiming that it's jihad but Mr Mandhai has not said so himself? I could be wrong.

    Maybe he just doesn't like American foreign policy in a certain place?

    Actually, considering how few Jewish people there are compared to Muslims, they seem to be doing a pretty good job of killing as well.

    Can anyone really quote "The Investigative Project" of Steve Emerson and expect to be taken seriously? The man is flat out dishonest. He distorts facts, manipulates organizations, and when people call him out on it, his response is to character assassinate.

    In 1995 he said that the Oklahoma City bombings were done with "a Middle Eastern trait" because they were done to "inflict as many casualties as possible." He further shoved his foot up his mouth by saying that Oklahoma City is one of the largest centers for radical Islam outside of the middle east.

    The Wall Street journal questioned his credibility in 93, saying that Emerson's chief objective was to revile anyone who criticized the Israeli government. The Washington Post called him out on it, and he responded by saying that the post was pro-hamas. When the Miami Herald did the same, he contacted Jewish leaders in Miami and claimed that the paper was racist.

    One of his most scathing critics has been Former Chief of Operations and Analysis at the CIA’s Counter Terrorism Center Vince Cannistraro, who described him as being dishonest and said about him once, "he doesnt know what he's talking about." Cannistraro also accused him and his co-horts of being Israeli-funded; when asked how he could make such a claim, he said "How do I know that? Because they tried to recruit me."

    Suffice to say that there are serious credibility issues here.....

    I'm interested to know if there is some statistic showing that terrorism 'in the name of Islam' is growing each year?

    Or is that not what you meant by 'more and more'?

    Why is that at this current time? and why wasn't it there as much in America in the 80s and even else where before. Where are the places of conflict right now throughout the world, in the middle east, etc. Maybe you are asking the wrong questions, not what religion they are in, but where are they from and how does that connect on their views and experiences in the foreign politics. its not a clash of religions, its a clash of ignorance on the root of these evils are the political turmoil in their states, etc.

    add on":

    Its unfortunate that someone as intelligent(and I do consider you intelligent in what I have read of your post although I do not agree with you) can not connect the pieces and find the roots in this

    Fortunately they are much better at it. Were they not, the state of Israel would no longer exist.
