#5 I'd long felt that after Sept 11 we should have found whatever branch of Islam is the most peaceful (suffists out of Turkey if I remember correctly) and funded the Turks to spread that version of Islam in opposition to the Wahhabi. Conquer mosques throughout the Islamic world the way the Wahhabi do, and challenge them at every opportunity.

Instead we sort of patted radical Islam on the head and acted as if it was peaceful and acceptable and part of the reset of Islam and provided secular options only.

#6 Traditional Islam in the Russian context is of the quietist, saint-worshiping central Asian variety which gets the Wahhabis frothing at the beard.

#7 I thought that Putin knew that this traditional and peaceful islam raised Rusia for centuries looking for dalves and booty aand that during the reign of Ivan IV it burned Moscow.

Thre is no peacful Islam. That does not mean we shouldn't use takilyak on Muslims.

#8 (suffists out of Turkey if I remember correctly)

The Sufis can be just as jihadi as the rest, Rjschwarz. They've just been more mystical while doing so.

#12 Real Sufis are not jihadis, e.g., the late Idries Shah. He pointed out there are a great many imitation Sufis in the Islamic world, call them 'Sufists' & lump them in with the rest.

This is how real Sufis get handled in the taqfiri world.

#13 When islam's fake "prophet" ended his pollution of the earth, his followers ("sahaba") were even mor aggressive than their founder. Why? Fraud-one was on a revenge mission, with booty only a side-game. The sahaba were all about getting booty.
