What's Right With Islam? Is Islam Responsible For.....?

Okay - all the other bloggers are posting this, and normally that in itsself would be reason enough not to.

But!  This guy has his own views, makes some interesting points.

So is Islam responsible for the GZM?

Is it ISLAM?

First, if you didn't know, Islam is about as fractured as Christianity in terms of denominations and interpretations of the scriptures.

There are moderate Muslims even inactives who don't really practice it.  Actually one of my fellow veterans I used to go on patrol with, a USAF seargent was a Muslim - which was really annoying at times because we'd have to stop so he could pray.  But whatever - I respected his religion, he respected mine - though he DID try to convert me.

At any rate - I would argue that there IS a difference between Islam and its denominations and Islamofascism - however, it can be hard to tell the two apart - I wish they'd make it easier and speak out a bit more.  Its pretty obvious the GZM imam has specifically done this to provoke a war just like any psychopath would do as an excuse to go on a rampage - and the peaceful muslims are caught in the middle but....sometimes you don't choose the fight, the fight chooses you and you have to decide which side you're going to be on.

So with that - I oppose islamofascism and sharia but I do believe peaceful muslims are perfectly capable of living in our country and we can live with them together. 

BUT - here's a couple thoughts on the GZM from another commentator.
