“Get rid of these Islamists who know nothing of Islam,” Omrani said.
“Siliana will be the second Sidi Bouzid, We’re going to get rid of these Islamists who know nothing of Islam,” Omrani said.
That quote, a young Tunisian’s cri de couer, taken from a Jakarta Globe report http://www.thejakartaglobe.com/international/protests-in-tunisian-town-show-anger-at-islamist-government/559528 should be taken in conjunction with the huge protests in Cairo against the Muslim Brotherhood’s power-grab.

It’s evidence that we conservatives who raise our voices against the Islamist menace are NOT declaring war on Muslims, nor on anyone’s right to worship as they please.
There are very few non-Muslims in Tunisia, and while there are a lot of Coptic Christians in Egypt, the majority of the angry crowds in both countries cannot possibly be anything other than the sort of Muslims the West should be rooting for.
No less a personage than the de jure King of France has stated the case for us, only this month.
In an open letter entitled “Islam and Islamism,” the Count of Paris rails against the naivety shown towards Islamism. “Respect should not prevent us from being lucid . We are obliged to face another reality” he writes …
============================================
=================
…he recalled that “in the Qur’an there is a verse that speaks of” Dar al Islam “the country of believers and” Dar al Kurf “the kaafir countries that they will one day conquer and convert.”
He continued: “While we naively believed we could help moderate Islamism in the wars of the Arab Spring, they all gave birth to power of Islamist extremists, because unlike Islam, Islamism will never moderate/ http://www.maisonroyaledefrance.fr/
Who?
Yes, Virginia, there is a King of France, albeit uncrowned. The Count is recognised by French monarchists as the rightful heir to all those distinguished men and women buried at St. Denis, a Parisian suburb which nowadays resembles a casbah.
Time and time again, RRA has applauded genuinely moderate Muslims, like the Canadian Muslim Congress, the American Islamic Leadership Coalition, etc. We also post supportively, and frequently, on groups here in Indonesia like Setara, which again are full of decent Muslims.
Some of the comments we get are fanatically anti-Muslim, and we don’t censor them, very often.
But it has to be recognised that their hostility is a response to the ‘enemies within’ Western countries, the arrogant upstarts of Muslims Against Crusades, and Shariah for Belgium, and CAIR, who are not just unwilling to adapt to the lands they choose to live in, but downright aggressive in their demands that those lands change to accommodate uninvited immigrants.

Not to mention Hizbut Tahrir all over the place!
But these abrasive and subversive outfits, on their own, would not be enough to stoke ‘Islamophobia.’
The complicity of established so-called ‘moderates’ with these vile fanatics, in their intolerance towards Ahmadiyah and other dissenters (and that includes implicit approval of murder by slapping the wrists of the perpetrators of pogroms like Cikeusik) the readiness of the MUI here in Indonesia to clasp the HT acolyte Khathath to its bosom, the drivel spouted by Islamist leaders at the UN, howling for democracies to silence their own citizens on issues of religious liberty…
…and injury is added to insult by their quivering cat’s-paws in the West – look at the dingbats in Brussels and other Western cities who won’t even call their civic cedars ‘Christmas Trees,’ for fear of offending ‘a certain minority.’
Baroness Warsi, a British Muslim parliamentarian, has called for Muslims in the UK to join their neighbours in the celebration of Christmas, and encore to that.
But if there really are members of a ‘certain’ (or any other) minority who are ‘offended’ by Christmas displays, then they should get the hell back to whence they came – you don’t choose citizenship of another country then complain about its customs.

- In the Middle East, Egypt under Morsi is facing a long dark shariah night, under a tyranny worse than Mubarak’s. http://www.aim.org/guest-column/no-its-not-the-same-sharia-provision-as-in-the-old-egyptian-constitution/
Vast numbers of Egyptians – Muslims, Copts, people with no known religious views – are resisting, bravely.
How to help them is open to debate, but helping them is the right thing to do.
No support for the Muslim Brotherhood, an evil outfit viscerally hostile to civilised values – reports of ‘irregularities’ during the referendum include ‘in Alexandria, 1,500 Egyptian women blocked a main road after a judge prevented them from voting ‘because they weren’t veiled.’ http://abcnews.go.com/US/egyptians-vote-potential-constitution/story?id=17985264#.UM5kMqxP-ho
Meanwhile, in Syria, it looks like the West is making another mistake.
The West attempted to rectify this at the weekend by backing the formation of a new FSA command structure at a meeting in Turkey. Its new leadership, which sidelines former commanders such as Gen Mustafa al-Sheikh and Col Riad al-Assad, includes senior figures without a regime background. Many are linked to the Muslim Brotherhood or even more radical Salafi movements, but are thought to be men with whom the West “can do business…”
Doing business? As the Count of Paris says, unlike Islam, Islamism will never moderate.
Doing business? Allying with the sort of people who gouged out an orthodox priest’s eyes before (or maybe after) they murdered him? http://www.worldwatchmonitor.org/english/country/othermiddleeast/article_1943337.html/
Hillary Clinton, and the UK’s Hague, both know who’s an integral part of the ‘opposition’ there, but nevertheless talk of supplying arms.
No, no, no!
Unless that opposition purges itself of jihadist barbarians, not a single bullet should be sent to their arsenals.

In past times, the civilised world watched inertly while huge tracts of the globe fell under marxist despotism, watching till it was too late to save those peoples.
Voices raised against that betrayal were demonised as ‘witch-hunting,’ ‘McCarthyism,’ etc.’
Nowadays, the equivalent smear is ‘Islamophobia.’
We are even accused of being ungracious guests, hostile to Indonesia, which we love, for our solidarity with the best of Indonesians who are striving to save their country.
Sorry, comrades, it won’t wash.

That’s an okay post you’ve written, Ross. Lot of points well made.
You paint a different picture of Muslims than other sites I read.
But tell me why if there are all those moderate nice Muslims wherre you are – and I believe you – that they dont get a government or police who will stop the ‘IslamoNazis’ like you call them?
Indonesia is a democracy, does this mean most Indonesians are pro-Islamonazi like the President and the Police?
