    Yes, yes, I get it. Christians hate teh gays too, right?

    If you compare the words of Mohammed to those of Jesus, you'll find almost no difference.

    LOL.

    But, tell me this, are there any teachings of Jesus that need to be "moderated"? Any at all?

    But, here's the key. Islam isn't just not open to moderation on the question of homosexuality. It's not open to any interpretation.

    So, Jihad really means a Holy War. It doesn't mean some personal, internal, struggle, as some would like you to believe.

    And, the guy who is telling you how inflexible Islam is isn't some "radical". He's a moderate Muslim, preaching at the local Mosque. And, this is what's being taught at Mosques across America, and around the world.

    A tenth Somali from the Minneapolis area has been arrested by the feds, charged with providing material support to ISIS:

    Federal charges were filed Wednesday in Minneapolis against another young Somali man from the Twin Cities, alleging that he conspired to provide material support to the terrorist organization known as ISIL.

    The criminal complaint alleges that Abdirizak Mohamed Warsame, 20, of Eagan, was among a group of 10 men from the Twin Cities’ Somali-American community who began planning around April 2014 to travel to Syria to fight with the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant. Three of those men have already pleaded guilty to terrorism-related charges, five are scheduled to start trial in May and one is in Syria.

    And, of course, despite all the news about Muslim immigrants, and refugees, and how we should deal with them, absent from the Star-Trib article is any reference to the guy's immigration status.

    But, don't worry, without giving us any evidence to back it up, or quoting anyone on the subject, the Star-Trib is sure to tell us how exceptionally engaged the local community is in counter terror efforts:

    Minnesota is believed to have produced more would-be foreign fighters than any other state, but it also has a Muslim community that’s exceptionally engaged with efforts to counter extremism.

    There are plenty of "teachings" in the Bible that almost no Christians follow, but if you were so inclined you could use the Bible to support slavery, stoning widows, being anti-bacon, etc., etc., etc.

    I'm always curious too about these "radicalized" Muslims, and their attendance at "moderate" Mosques.

    Farook declared his dad to be an unbeliever, and ordered his mom to divorce him.

    But, this guy who'd been planning Jihad since 2011 didn't find his local Mosque to be too moderate for his own taste? Or Maybe is wasn't so moderate.

    What about the 10 "radicalized" Somalis, from the "exceptionally engaged" community?

    Well, apparently the 10 liked to hang around this Mosque, to play some hoops, and watch propaganda videos.

    According to the complaint against Warsame, he was part of a group of men who played basketball and watched propaganda videos at a local mosque.

    Is watching propaganda videos standard procedure at "moderate" Mosques?

    Jesus Ace. Jesus.

    Please. I'm begging you, find me anything Jesus ever taught that would be considered offensive today. Anything at all. Anything that needs a modern interpretation, or needs to be moderated.

    Some Christians, and the teachings they might follow, suck. But, as Christians, we're supposed to follow the teachings and example of Jesus. And, if you do so, you'll be fine.

    If you follow the teachings of Mohammed, and the Koran, you can't say the same thing. The teachings and example of Mohammed suck.

    Perhaps we should ban people who believe the words in old books that don't happen to be the New Testament with that nice Jesus fellow.

    You know, I keep saying that Islamic teaching cover much more than just standard religious beliefs. It's an all encompassing belief system.

    You think I'm joking.

    Did you know there are rules about how to use the restroom, and that using a urinal is an unethical practice?

    This is from the same moderate associate director from Farook's Mosque:

    There are many Islamic guidelines about how to use the restroom. We will only focus on those that pertain to standing and urinating. This common practice has led to the following unethical practices:

    LOL.

    There are many Islamic guidelines about how to use the restroom!

    And, did you know this? The Prophet ﷺ always sat down to relieve himself.

    "Moderate" Muslim men have to sit to piss!

    Muslims believe the Koran is the literal word of God.

    Mohammed didn't write it, he only transcribed God's word.

    There is no room for moderation or interpretation. And, Mohammed is the final prophet. It's never changing. It can't.

    There will be no "New Covenant" between Muslims and Allah.

    They have their instructions, and they're expected to follow them, all the way down to how they're supposed to take a piss.
