* The Religion of perpetual victimhood and outrage: this time the whining & wingeing comes from Samina Ahmed, who just can’t see that 1400 years of violent jihad warfare against the world and 11.000 terrorist attacks since 9/11 have woken up a lot of people who were, until then, oblivious to the existence of this murderous cult:
* Suicide attack on Indian embassy kills 41 in Afghanistan
* Serial bomb blasts rock Karachi, Pakistan; one dead, 45 injured
* Suicide bomber kills nine in Iraq
* Al Qaeda in Mesopotamia claims role in Anbar suicide bombing
* Londoners mark July 7 bombings anniversary   Â
Robert Spencer: Here we go yet again. Samina Ahmed says: “(People) a lot of times have so many questions. And I make them comfortable enough so they can ask them.”
Great! I have a question, Ms. Ahmed: Do you think talking to non-Muslims will really help improve Islam’s image? Might it be more effective to talk to Muslims? Wouldn’t it lessen the negative image of Islam if you were to try to convince the Muslims who are committing violence and preaching supremacism in the name of Islam to accept peaceful coexistence with non-Muslims as equals on an indefinite basis?

Projecting Islam Image in US
CAIRO — Disturbed by rising anti-Islam sentiments since the 9/11 attacks, Samina Ahmed has started a mission to educate Americans about Islam and clear misconceptions about the faith.
“(People) a lot of times have so many questions,” Ahmed told the Springfield News-Sun newspaper on Monday, July 7.
“And I make them comfortable enough so they can ask them.”
Since 9/11, Ahmed, 35, has been holding a seminar twice a year to educate people about the teachings of Islam.
This Thursday, the Pakistani-born will hold her seminar “Practicing Islam in Clark County” at the Public Library to discuss the faith as a whole.
She will also distribute free English translation of the Noble Qur’an to attendees.
* Try that with a bible in an Islamic country and your chances of survival turn bleak…
In previous seminars, Ahmed discussed many Islamic issues such as fasting and Zakah (alms giving).
Ahmed, who migrated with her parents to Canada when she was 5 and later to the US at the age of 17, says Americans are now more receptive than ever to know more about Islam.
A 2007 survey by Pew Research Center and the Pew Forum found that the majority of Americans know very little about the practices of Islam.
The poll indicated that attitudes toward Muslims and Islam have grown more negative in recent years.
There are between six to seven million Muslims in the United States, making up less than three percent of the country’s 300 million population.
Tarnished
Ahmed says her mission aims to clear the tarnished image of the Islamic faith.
“Since 9/11, whenever people hear the word Muslim, right away they think terrorist,” Ahmed said.
“But that’s not what Islam represents.”
A USA Today/Gallup poll had showed that 39 percent of Americans feel prejudiced toward Muslims.
BS-alert:
“Anti-Muslim hate crimes in the US have soared dramatically in recent years.”
* IslamOnline doesn’t mention, of course, that anti-Jewish attacks were five times more frequent.
According to the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s recent figures, Islamophobic crimes more than quadrupled from 28 incidents in 2000 to 156 incidents in 2006.
Ahmed says the media tend to portray Islam as a “warlike” religion and that Islam is the province of only certain races or nationalities. (The ‘media?’ Is this twat dumb enough to believe people can’t read the Koran by themselves?”
A recent British study accused the media and film industry of perpetuating Islamophobia and prejudice by demonizing Muslims and Arabs as violent, dangerous and threatening people.
* Useful idiot alert:
Clueless & deluded:
Rabbi Eric Yoffie, the president of the US largest Jewish movement, has accused US media and politicians of demonizing Islam and portraying Muslims as “satanic figures.”
* Brother: Islam wants you dead. Get real and stick your nose in a book: educate yourself about Islam before you make an idiot of yourself!

I don’t give a frack what they say. I can do the math: Muslim + Islam = terrorist. If that is painting them ALL with a broad brush, then so be it. I do not have the time, nor the inclination to think and decide if THIS one here wants to blow shit up or it THIS one here is peaceful. Complacency can equal death.
Now let’s all sit back and think “why do we equate terrorism and bombings with muslims?” Hmmmm…anyone? You would have to be a total moron to not make the connection. Any human being can come to the same conclusion. Those who do not are only deluding themselves.
Actually, I don’t think that, I think stupid beards and bin bags, then comes the terrorist!
