Moblems
The row over Benedict's comments on reason, faith, and Islam should be
After, we keep getting told the radical Islam, Islamic fascists, Islamists have 'hijacked' Islam for their own ends. But I'm really starting to wonder. As near as I can tell, Muslims fall into the following categories:
- Jihadis - the folks who will actively plan to kill non-Muslims
- Instigators - the folks who will tell Muslims that they should riot or kill non-Muslims or "bad" Muslims
- Moblems - the folks who will burn flags, torch shops, stone adulteresses
- Silent Muslims - the ones who might be moderate, but speak naught, for fear of the above three groups
- Abetting Muslims - the ones live in the Western World and provide support to the the first three groups
- Moderate Muslims - the ones who have embraced liberalism and tolerance
The big myth is that Moderate Muslims are a large group, and so are silent Muslims. I'm beginning to disbelieve. I think the Moblems are the majority, and the Moblems follow the Instigators and Jihadis, not the Moderates. What we're seeing now is the Moblems rioting, after the Instigators told them to. Someone tell me how to reason with these people, please!

I think that you are exactly right! I have reached the same conclusion. It is concerning that many western and civilized nations seem to be caving in to this type of reaction. I was very ashamed that such a small number of newspapers in this country published the cartoons during that fiasco.
Hopefully we aren't the only ones who see what is happening. The more soon we find an alternative to oil, the desire for which drives the economies and funds radical Islam, the better.
