Quote# 19650
At a recent debate over the battle for Islamic ideals in England, a British-born Muslim stood before the crowd and said Prophet Mohammed's message to nonbelievers is: "I come to slaughter all of you."
"We are the Muslims," said Omar Brooks, an extremist also known as Abu Izzadeen. "We drink the blood of the enemy, and we can face them anywhere. That is Islam and that is jihad."
Anjem Choudary, the public face of Islamist extremism in Britain, added that Muslims have no choice but to take the fight to the West.
"What are Muslims supposed to do when they are being killed in the streets in Afghanistan and Baghdad and Palestine? Do they not have the same rights to defend themselves? In war, people die. People don't make love; they kill each other," he said. (Audio slide show: Preying on Britain's young Muslims)
But in the same debate, held on the prestigious grounds of Dublin's Trinity College in October, many people in the crowd objected.
"These people, ladies and gentleman, have a good look at them. They actually believe if you kill women and children, you will go to heaven," said one young Muslim who waved his finger at the radicals.
"This is not ideology. It's a mental illness."
Abu Izzadeen,

\"We are the Muslims,\" said Omar Brooks, an extremist also known as Abu Izzadeen. \"We drink the blood of the enemy, and we can face them anywhere. That is Islam and that is jihad.\"
Wait, are you muslims or are you vampires? Or, I guess you could be vampire muslims... Or maybe muslim vampires.

If this guy and others spouting similar threats were not taken into custody immediately afterward, someone has some explaining to do.

Abysses: Indeed, i applaud the unnamed young Muslim mentioned here.
As do I. I am not a member of any organized religion, but I do not have any anger towards any of them so long as they leave me in peace. I am sure there are many good Muslims in Iraq who just want to live prosperous, productive lives while it is the insane religious fundamentalists who keep trying to prevent them from doing so.

I'm confused. Did the debate take place in England or Ireland?

I subscribe what the last muslim said. And it demonstrates that there is a difference between fundies and religious people. And don´t drink so much blood. The moment they take out your passport and you´re peniless in the streets of Afghanistan, you´ll say that you were only joking.

Good for the finger-waving young Muslim. I wish that more religious moderates stood up to the fundies of their faiths and said, \"No, you're wrong.\"

That. ladies and gentlemen, is why religious fundamentalism is dangerous.
Any religious fundamentalism.

Any sort of fundamentalism is dangerous. We laugh at fundies here because they do say and think ridiculous things, but if they get even an ounce of power then things become very serious.

The worst thing is, those vampires don't even fear the cross, just like jewish vampires ...
All religion is mental illness.
Papabear, I think there was some secular fundie quote here this month saying that. Anyway, I think it is a bit over the top to say it that way, but I tend to agree with you.

That's an interesting way to show how loving and peaceful your religion is.
