So which ones are the peaceful Muslims? The ones with the bricks or the molotov cocktails or the metal bars? Or the ones who torture and kill their wives and daughters? Or are the peaceful ones those who rip the organs out of their enemies and eat them? I’m not sure that I’ve seen the “peaceful” Muslims yet.
Maybe it is the two Muslims who showed up for the Million Muslim (peace) March.

From a recent report from the Defense Department:
"At least 6,024 U.S. service members who declared Islam as their faith have served honorably in overseas war deployments since the 9/11 attacks, and 14 Muslim-American troops have been killed in action, all in Iraq...We honor these American heroes, four of whom are buried in Arlington National Cemetery, for making the ultimate sacrifice in service of our nation."
Any person who belittles that kind of sacrifice doesn't deserve to live under the protection afforded by that sacrifice. Maybe Jodie should sign up right now so s/he can appreciate the efforts of those 6,024 Americans.
First of all, human flesh cannot be halal. Second of all, you're either mean or nuts. Third of all, there's no reason you can't be both.
Uuuhm. I'll choose, "none of the above." Organ eating...? Really? When have you ever seen that, besides in your wet dreams?
"Although originally billed as a “Million Muslim March,” it turns out the “Million American March Against Fear” was a 9/11 truther event disguised as a gathering of Muslims."
Well now, there's probably a number of people at Moonbattery who would've fit in there quite nicely.
I nominate the guy that runs my local corner shop. He seems quite content to listen to the cricket on the radio, chat with me about the weather, and sell me haram products like bacon and beer. He seems to me very much like a man who's trying to make money and support a family.
I know about ten Muslims, they have friends and family members who are also Muslims. All of them are more peaceful than our ultra-conservative party. A highly placed minister in that party were out partying with some friends and attacked a couple of (non-white) people with iron rods and pushed a (definitely white) woman so she slammed into a parked car, because she told them to not hit people with iron rods.
There are Christians from the Middle East/North-Eastern Africa who also torture and kill their wives and daughters. The problem is lack of human rights in the area, not which religion you have.
I seem to remember verses from the Bible where God orders pregnant women to be ripped open, and babies to be smashed against rocks.
Fortunately, Christians and other religious (or non-religious) people have never engaged in terrorism or violent misogyny, or indeed, continue to do so every single day. Therefore it is not our responsibility to solve any of these problems, which works out great because it is just so much easier to complain about Muslims.
I'd bring up the thing about most Muslims feeling about terrorists the same way the OP feels about Westboro Baptist, but I suspect she's actually a big fan.
'So which ones are the peaceful Muslims?'
I have Two living next door to me. They are the nicest people you could ever meet! So polite and welcoming. They where the only people to help me and my other half when we moved in.
There are well over a billion Muslims in the world, almost all of whom are very peaceful.
Yes Jodie, there is a world outside your trailer park and what Fox News tells you about.
are the peaceful ones those who rip the organs out of their enemies and eat them?
No, no, those are the imaginary ones.
Also, this .
What religion do you think most of the victims of Muslim terrorists belong to?
Who do you think were the civilian victims of all these terrorist attacks in Iraq and Afghanistan?
Who do you think the Taliban were fighting against in Afghanistan before they could take control of the country?
These guys hate moderate Muslims at least as much as they hate western Christians.
Also:
That allies of the US forces from the northern alliance in Afghanistan? That allies of the USA (and good friends of the Bush family) in Saudi-Arabia? That (at least nominally) ally of the USA, Pakistan? They are all (at least predominantly) Muslim.
And that is not to mention the literally hundreds of millions of Muslim worldwide that are not terrorists and/or fundamentalists and just want to live their lives in peace.
So which ones are the peaceful Muslims?
The ones who live and work around you every day, going about their business and leaving other people alone.
You'd undoubtedly see them if you looked. Try removing your head from your ass and checking your bigoted fucking ignorance for five minutes. You'd be surprised what you're missing.
The ones that don't get on the news.
@rubber chicken: You're not supposed to point out when the StoopidCrischuns are right. You're supposed to assume they're lying and stick your head in the sand. While repeating tired old memes.
hilarious. so you're saying the turnout for the march was small. why would that be?
which are the peaceful americans again?
i'm not surprised that this twat can't see the subtle contradiction there. but he doesn't need to, because he knows towelheads are dangerous and need to be attacked preemptively.
Which are the peaceful christians? The ones who say the solution to the gay problem is to kill gays? Or the ones who say the solution to the atheist problem is to kill atheists?
Which are the intelligent Fundies that might comprehend the answer to your question?
(If I met an intelligent Fundie, I bet he/she would be intelligent the same way that Moe was the smart stooge.)
There was a TV show called "All-American Muslim" which portrayed peaceful Muslims living here in the US, but unfortunately crazy Christian fundies got the show pulled after threatening massive boycotts. So I guess it's the same as sticking your fingers in your ears and going "La la la la la la la..."

My, but that's a natty Union Flag hijab that Muslim woman's wearing, eh Jodie...?!
Oh, and not forgetting this :

For a devout Muslim, Mo Farah is behaving in a distinctly un -Muslim way with his wife, just after winning a race in our 2012 London Olympics. And as for said wife, Tania Nell, seems she's forgotten her Hijab , eh Jodie...?! [/hyper-sarcasm]
The only metal he had was the two Gold medals he won at such.
Here's the last two supporters of Mitt 'Anyone But Obama' Romney:

...oh wait. >:D
Hmm, don't recall ever seeing a certain high school classmate of mine on the news. If she ever was, it was more likely to be about her playing tennis, if she'd gone pro.
I know all too many, considering that I live between 2 Muslim families and indeed between 2 Muslim nations. But that's not the matter one recalls the "some of my friends are X" and the car in the garage analogy.
A real pity that the black sheep the most violent and vocal get noticed all too easily. Or perhaps black swans that subvert the conventions of the tropes some among us choose to impose on them. Yes, that includes the fundamentalists whose remarks make it to this site. Regardless of faith, ideology etc., it still seems like the news is being taken as status quo despite reporting the exceptions.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
