Five Afghan Police Murder Their Fellow Officers - Then Defect To Taliban
Topics: Understanding IslamFive Afghan police murder seven fellow officers as they sleep, before defecting to join Taliban guerrillas fighting in southern Afghanistan.
What is it about Islam that causes so many Muslims to put Islam first - country, morality, human compassion and reason a distant last?
Was Daniel Pipes correct when he wrote just days after September 11, 2001 that "Individual Islamists may appear law-abiding and reasonable, but they are part of a totalitarian movement, and as such, all must be considered potential killers."
The answer is probably a yes and a no - liberal "moderate" Muslims do exist and are in as much danger as non-Muslims. However, knowing which Muslims are truly not jihadists and can really be trusted is becoming increasingly more difficult. There are seven dead policemen in Afghanistan that demonstrate the threat from "moderates" in appearance only - that all of us should be concerned about.
So let's not be deluded, many so-called moderate Muslims are wolves in sheeps clothing, and there are even young Muslims in America who profess allegiance to Islam first, and America dead last! Unfortunately, we are living in a very dangerous time, with very dangerous people among us.
