Depends on the car. Modern passenger cars are low and have a round bonnet, so victims would be flung over the top. With SUVs it ist completely different. Very high, vertical front for smashing, and high ground clearance for dragging. Perfect people-grinding-machines.

That´s a typical strawman. Nobody ever said that "all muslims are terrorist". The point is all jihadists are muslim, the jihadist message addresses muslims (not Buddhists or Norwegian Lutherans), and only muslims are potential recipients. So it is totally idiotic to blank islam out of the the jihadist problem.

They might just cite the Koran and the haddith. The hate messages are right there. The problem is more general: We allow violent political speech under the label of "religous freedom". That should not be so. Religions should not be excempt from rules about hate speech. Muslim preachers should be asked to make a clear stand that they refuse the hate suras in the Koran. If they refuse, they should be prosecuted liek any other hate speech provider.

USARonin:
No, it isn´t. For better or worse, the West has decided to grant freedom of religion to all religions, without considering their content. Hence, jihadism can be taught and we can´t do a thing about it.
Depends what you call "mainstream". The jihadists certainly include the violent jihad, and there are enough clerics who support them.

So stupid. The 9/11 perpetrators are dead.
The most they can accuse Khalid Omar of is being a pious religious man and following the dictate of his religion to contribute to jihad against the unbelievers. And that ain´t a crime in Western legal code.
Ridiculous, self-defeating, waste of Western ressources.

Nope, not necessarily. It depends on your parents. But islam is alone in allowing anyone convert into it at any time, but punishes leaving islam by death (apostesy).
No such thing happened, and it is no excuse for the Saudi refusal of allowing non-muslims to enter Mekkah. Personally, I can live with that, but I think in turn Rome and Varanasi should be declared off-limits for muslims. Fair enough?

Remember that Pakistan was established as the homeland for the subcontinent´s muslims, with Koranic principles and all that. Since its foundation, the Hindu, Buddhist and Christian populations in Pakistan have dwindled to almost nothing... gee, one wonders why. The 130 million muslims who stayd in India are free to practise their religion, have equal rights... and still listen jihadists imams and go on jihad. And Hindu society, like we in the West, is stuck with PC dogma that islam has nothing to do with. Insane!

That is islamist point of view, yes. Israel, aka "the Zionist entity" must be destroyed. Ironically, the "Zionist entity" is the only place in the Middle East, where modern values such as free speech and human rights (including the rights of the residend muslim Arabs) are observed.
Only if by "The World" you mean the muslim world, and even there only the islamist fringe. Buddhists, Hindus, Zoroastrians, Taoists, Shintoists, or for that matter moderate muslims (those who we should support) are not on a jihad against modern civilization.
To see Bin Ladins argument made here at JT is a sight to behold...

Yep. All religions do this. So we must believe. Never heard of Buddhists shouting "Death to Israel", beheading infidels, or blowing up schoolbusses to go to paradise? Then report at the PC indoctrination camp.

Oh really? Give us a rundown about the latest string of bombings, beheadings, death threats, etc. carried out in the name of political Judaism or political Christianity. For that matter, what is the Hebrow or Latin word "jihad"? Or "kuffar"? Or "Sharia"? Islamic concepts, all of them.
Like Smith, you would be well advised to do your homework first.

Smith:
I invite you to show me any New Years address by the pope (which comes as close to the pinnacle of Catholicism as you can get) where he ranted about politics and how god is punishing the unbelievers. For that matter, "unbelievers" are hardly at all on the horizon in any religion, with the notable exception of you-who-which-one.
You really should do your homework.

Muchakucha:
Absolutely right! As long as the dogma stands that the Koran and the Sunna must not be criticised, there will be Jihadists.
Moderate muslims (such as Irishad Manji and Bassam Tibi) call on muslims to drop the jihad and shariah. But that means refusing part of the Koran and the Sunnah. So back to square one.

Isn´t the deal the big US autocompanies made with the UAW the equivalent of the big, glorious promises of the Democrat Party? Full employment, free healthcare, entitlements left right and center... the UAW got it all. Probem is that someone has to pay for it...

So even in a supposedly purely religious event that we get swooning articles like this about, this "cleric" gives a political message.
These guys travel all the way to Saudi on their holy mission to be reminded that we useless kuffars are being punished by god with the financial crisis. Some religion...

SezWho2:
Yes. And the idea of using Western forces to police a Shariah state with the hope that it will turn into a democracy is not only a "problem", it is so idiotic that words can hardly describe it.
Unless the West wakes up and recognizes that the problem is not one particular country here or there, but political islam, we are doomed.

Oh really? And how do you know that? The call to hate and kill the kuffars (us) is entirely supported by Koranic verses, as well the Sunnah. If you indeed had done your homework, you´d know that.
Newsflash for you: The Old Testament precedes Christianity, so whatever stories are told there are not normative for Christians.
Islam on the other hand is stuck with the doctrine that Mohammed was the perfect man and his behaviour was normative. And as long as that doctrine stands, there will be islamic terrorists.

Another slanted report by an islamist front group. How investigating the prejudice against Kuffars in general and Israel and the US specifically that is inherent in political islam? And ask what to do about that, instead of playing the victim card again?
