There's a fundamental difference. Jews are an ethnic group, Islam is an ideology.
You can question and challenge ideology, how can and why would you do the same to a race?

Good point there. But also, those cartoons could be interpreted as slander against Arabs, though Muslims come from countless ethnicities (Persian, turk, Indonesian.....)
Interesting, I thought a Jew was a person who practices Judaism : or: יְהוּדָה
Or ...Yehudah pronounced Ya-hoodah or Lehodot literally meaning "to thank"
Yiddish then translate it as "yada" meaning to praise As in what a Jewish convert, practicing Jew does. As I've never heard of a practicing Chinese or practicing Mexican.
Does the word originate from a man named Judah? Son of Jacob. Meaning-- Jacob couldn't have been a Jew, for he had yet to skeet JUdah out his nut-sack into existence.
Before then? I thought they were Israelites, which comes from the name Jacob (a man) whose name is changed to Israel in Gen 32: he wrestles with an angel of the lord, got his ass whooped till daylight-his hip thrown out of the socket.
So Judah's daddy & daddy's daddy...Abraham (Abram) couldn't have been a Jew nor an Israelite
Abram is his name, right? Who is called the Father of the Hebrews.
Conclusion: Some say "Hebrew" is associated with Abram's grandpappy Eber-
A name applied to a foreigner (Genesis 39:14,17; 41:12, etc.), -Since Abram left his home of Ur & was told to go to Egypt, he would have been like a Mexican in America: An illegal immigrant.
The changing of his name to Abraham encases Cushite words or Ethiopian 4 word(s) Ab-ba-ra-ham
Ra is the God of Egypt & Ham is supposedly the first black man, "Ab" like "aborigines" or from the beginning and "Ba" a word meaning soul in Cushitic.. hence he is not called Ab-ba-Ya-Shem, for the God "Yah" whose chosen people from the descendant Shem...totally the opposite-Ab-ba-ra-ham.
Myself: I take it to come from the Hebrew word 'Abhar , "To pass over," a "sojourner" or "passer" into a foreign land which the Bible says Abram does- "settles in Egypt." aka (mizriam) who is a son of Ham, not Shem.
The Jewish faith I thought gets its origin from Abraham & the law through Moses --- the very laws Muslims adhere to from: no pork eating to choppin' mofo's heads off for the slightest of things.
And the people today, clearly call themselves names that doesn't denote Islam such as Hezbollah, Al Queada, ISIS, Dawa, Al-Sunnar. These people should be called that and not radical Islamists or extremist IMO...anymore than a Jew who wants to practice Tanakh (Old Testament) would then be called radical Jews. But this is just my opinion...
They Tanakh; would earn the radical Jew,or fundamentalist Jew name if they went out killing dudes all over the planet for political reasons though.
Thats what these other groups are doing and calling for, they themselves point to Islam as their source,they all made the claim,no us.
Mosques either preach jihad or they dont. These dudes who are going to Syria to join the cause and then attacking us in our own countries are coming out of the back rooms of Mosques.
[QUOTE=Andre;1296899]We will have to agree to disagree here- Mosques IMO are like Churches; One church preached Baptist another Lutheran another Mormonism as Jesus came back and hung out In America, so, too with Islam. To blanket ALL mosques to me is following the media's agenda. Some mosques refuse to accept The Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan as a Muslim -mostly Arabs- yet the white-skinned nation Turkey who has yet to be associated with terrorist...allowe Farrakhan to their country and treated him like a diplomat. You can google it youtube it. So this means each Mosque carries the agenda of the people in their region. And some mosques are being used as incubators for terror it is wrongand may Allah pay them just for it...but no sir not all mosques either preach it or don't..Hell some may sugges it
Yes, just like Klansmen came out of the front rooms of the churches & the head of the Klan is an ordained Minister?
And these Americans joining? How is that possibly different than Tim McVey the Oklahoma bomber who believed in Jesus..yet he wasnt called a radical christian..the media knew to call him a friigin UNI-Bomber
the media the media can say: These fools wanna be Mulsims, but they are radical orgnaizations who are killing for various reasons, then attributing to Islam.

The newsmedia did NOT refer to Tim McVeigh as the Unabomber that was Ted Kaczynski who sent mail bombs to Universities hence the moniker "Una-Bomber". Tim McVeigh was called a "right wing extremist" and attempts were made to place the blame of the Oklahoma City Bombing on Rush Limbaugh's radio show oddly enough.
If we want to be specific about Islam in regards to terrorism we must understand the sectarian nature of Islam. Much like Christianity is not 1 sect anymore Islam too has branches but instead of Catholic, Methodist, Baptist, Presbyterian Islam is broken up into ethnic groups which practice the religion separately: Shiites are Persians and Sunnis are Arabs, then you have the Kurds who are neither, and then you have subgroups like the Pashtuns. It's all very complex and convoluted. But here's how I break it down: The Islamic State, Al Qaeda are Sunnis...so we've got a bit of Sunni issue here
Thanks for the correction of Ted over Tim...
Ted-Tim :The name shouldn't deter from the idea that the one who did it, was dis-associated with a religion or groups, causing media watchers to conclude: He did it not in concert- but alone.
Yet, I stand corrected on Ted, not Tim.
And you also make a claim (Sunni vs Shia) issue, to which the media doesn't see in terms of specifics, so generalism takes over.
If the media would have worded like you, did, I would me more in agreement. It is a sectarian issue.
IMO, you nailed it on the head.
Well it's still not a simple issue, take a look at Syria for example, they are in a Civil War and here are who is fighting
THE GOVERNMENT Bashir al-Assad, Iran, Hezbollah, Ba'ath Brigades, al-Abbas, Asa'ib Ahl al-Haq, Jayash al-Muwahhideen, Syrian Resistence, Arab Nationalist Guard, Popular Front For The Liberation of Palestine. With arms provided by: Russia, North Korea(possibly China)
THE OPPOSITION(yeah, that's how fucking organized they are) : Islamic Front, Free Syrian Army, Al-Nusra Front, Syrian Revolutionary Command Council, Jabhat Ansar al-Deen, Muhajirin wa-Ansar Alliance. With arms provided by: USA, France, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and Libya
THE ISLAMIC STATE: ISIS/ISIL, Al Qaeda
THE KURDS & INTELLECTUALS: Kurdistan, People's Protection Units, Liwa' Jabhat al-'Akrad, Peshmerga, and the Kurdistan Workers Party. Arms provided by: USA, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Jordan, Bahrain, The UAE, and Morocco .
So things are certainly NOT as binary as wars have been in the past.
Also in regards to Ted and Tim, Tim McVeigh WAS big into religion and anti abortion and all that stuff and he DID convert to Roman Catholicism but the main crux of his beef with the United States government was what the FBI and ATF did at Waco as well as Ruby Ridge. Ted Kaczynski was somewhat of a Luddite to an extent. Not in that he was religious, but he just hated technology and went waaaaaay off the deep end with the whole save the Earth kind of thing.
[QUOTE=SlimTrae;1296955]It isnt any different. You asked how is it different, it isnt. Only thing is these western fruit cake christian extremists go after what suits their own sick bent.They go after the goverment over rights, other races over domination, Some go after children over their own sexual repression,and some go out singularly as serial killers and go out after prostitutes or gay sex workers as they think its justified from within their book and they are doing Gods work. Then theres the ones who murder doctors and receptionists over pro life issues. They are all Christian extremeists but we KNOW IT. No need to label them we fucking know.
It doesnt mean all within the religion are guilty which is the implication and a stupid one,that is not the point.
Even though they didnt target Muslims it doesnt make them any different either, I dont get any of the comparison attempts.
Aside from maybe the crusades and also our government actions for business against Muslim run countries over oil and those controls connected to Christian based governments,that is a valid point;but has nothing to do with going after the problem (Extremists) where they are being brain washed into action within our own societies).
In our country we have seen kids get taken into jihad class through 'a religion'. Not some fools who already fight for it and are wanna be Muslims, they are already are in each case and they go into it via the reverse to what you stated there.(Home grown terrorism Im talking about the threat on our own streets against our public).
(Brings up another question do we let them back into our countries once they have finished fighting for Isis or whoever they have gone overseas to fight for)?
There is an underground movement sweeping beneath a religion searching for young men to brain wash into Jihad and dirty political work under the guise of Gods work.
It isnt a question of is that true or is it false ?< If you wish.
Out here in Sydney and Melbourne we have had two Clerics Mullahs or whatever they are called who have done exactly that and been caught at it,we are talking about the largest Mosque in Melbourne its in Brunswick, they had them going out the back door, not sure about the Sydney one.
I dont know where they are working within your communities, but these extremists are not fishing for disciples in schools, street gangs or biker shops so you tell me where do we go to nip them in the bud?
Our law enforcement undercover or not and the Muslim community, need to find them where they are fishing and snap their rods and lock them away in re education.
Its like single case and organized pedophilia within the English and Roman church sections who ran homes for children out here, we eventually knew it was there and well organized and so we went after it.
No one tried pointing at other religions or reasons for and against or tried saying well its also in Goverment run childrens homes; does that make it right to mention only the Catholic Church in this case?
Im just saying it was there within the religion and people from within it and law enforcement from outside of it went for it,through the people effected.
No one said:hang on,what about those dudes in orange dresses at the airports with the necklaces you dont say it about them do you? They are fat men in dresses they have to be held accountable too. (There is the same mentality as broad scoping the whole of religion and saying you cant say that about just one religion.)
Truth is in there sort of, but you still have to look at the raw facts and wake the fuck up and go after them now,exactly where they are working and go hard after them; or they will go under ground and continue to grow elsewhere, just like the organized peds have done, they just got moved out to third world locations where you can buy your way in and out.
Now in those cases the finger points overseas instead of here at home and only a handful of very old pedophiles from here stayed and many got jailed. Now we are clearer in Australia except for some older cases but now the finger points into Mex, Peru some African spots beyond our jurisdiction. Same will occur in this case, then you can point outside your country, but still not outside the religions that harbor it and dont attempt to rout it out themselves from on high within.
All of this radicalim stems from Saudi Arabia and Gulf states like Qatar. Almost all Saudi money though. They fund the radical strain of Islam all over the world. They build mosques and schools all over the world provided they teach the virulent fundamentalist Saudi Wahabbi brand of Islam.
And then they fund all the jihadi nutjobs who want to take up arms and fight the infidels and any Muslims they think aren't Muslim enough. But because of the oil situation the west is trying to deal with radical Islam without trying to deal with or even mentioning the source of the problem.
