Muslims post anti-ISIS billboard

This is nice to see, finally....some Muslims willing to speak out against those cowards. I'm interested to see the liberals response to this just for shits and grins.

I am by no means saying every Muslim wants to kill infidels and take over the planet, but they have very little credibility and a billboard isn't going to help. I used to live in Dearborn, MI and it's kind of crazy how things roll there. The store owners know that most Americans can't read Arabic and they have signs posted in the shops that are degrading and if posted in English would start riots. They openly talk about Americans while enjoying their freedom to do so (My father is Middle Eastern we speak Arabic) It would make far more impact if they'd let their Sharia law go bye bye (while here in the US) and the women put their hajibs away. I realize this is a very touchy subject ..

...Immediately after 9-11, the head of a large Moslem congregation in the upper Midwest decried the attack and asked that his young men be accepted into the military to help avenge the crime. Rather amazing... and unfortunately, rather singular event. Most congregations, at best, "deplored" the act... rather than condemning it.

...The Boise Moslem community marches once a year in "appreciation of how they are treated in the Treasure Valley..." Many of their members carry signs calling for death to terrorists... Again, amazing... and again... somewhat singular. Treasure Valley Moslems largely came here to avoid raising their children in big city areas where some Moslem communities are subject to radical influences.

...One major difference between this community and some others around the country is that they are welcome by most of the residents of the area.. feel safe here... and have a splendid working relationship with law enforcement and other government agencies... An atmosphere of mutual trust exists... again... not at all common. Unlike some Moslem communities, this one treasures transparency and knows that it is key to their prospering here.

...News stories around the world have tried to make their presence in Idaho something that it is not. Alleging adult "Syrian refugees" in Twin Falls gang raped a retarded five year old girl and that the "police are covering it up..." The true story (which came out before some of the later false ones...) No Syrians, no adults... minor children involved. False stories about Moslems "taking photos of Jewish synagogues..."

...Neo-Nazi groups in Europe a few years back running stories on the internet about "Jihad in the Heartland of America..." Alleging that Treasure Valley Moslems denied cemetery that they demanded and Justice Department forced Idaho to cave in. Silliness on stilts.

...Moslems requested a permit to set up a Moslem cemetery on ground at that time occupied by coyotes, rattlesnakes, and jackrabbits. The area's zoning included cemeteries being permitted. County held hearing... In the whole state only one letter arrived with any negative input.... question about "property values..."

The county did check with the state because some Moslem funeral practices are different. The State of Idaho has prior experience dealing with "unusual" funeral practices... most especially Native American... which are far more unusual than Moslem ones. The permit was issued... and in Idaho (at least) it was very much a "non-story..."

...The one great fear of the Treasure Valley Moslem community is that the Federal government might decide to dump say... eight or nine thousand (essentially unvetted) Syrian "migrants" into the Boise area. The whole social dynamic would change overnight and the reasonable and mature leaders of the local Moslem community would find themselves swamped and largely rendered irrelevant.

...Those Syrian men without families would prove to be the largest disruption... even if they had no terrorist ties. Everything that the community moved out here to get away from... would be placed right in their lap. The special relationship and trust between the citizens of Idaho and the Moslem community would likely be destroyed as thousands of even (hopefully) well-meaning migrants would have an automatic sullen distrust of the local and state authorities and not cooperate with them.

...One Islamic terrorist has been prosecuted in the area... but he was not part of the Moslem community, and in fact was an Uzbek from Uzbekistan... (former Soviet Republic...) Cooked up a terrorist plan... unfortunately for him, his co-conspirator was an FBI operative...

Non-radical Muslims should stand up and take the lead, that's an important counter to Islamic terrorism. But this billboard is for Americans, not ISIS, and there are many other quotes that could be used that advocate eliminating infidels. In a sentence of the article it says ..."the myth of Muslim silence in the face of terrorism....," and I don't think that's a myth. There has been a problem with Muslim silence about terrorism. Still, any condemnation of daesh by Muslims in America is a good thing.
