    Just a small reminder from 2016 for those on this site in the dark.

    More than 30,000 Muslims from across the world meet in the UK to reject Isis and Islamic extremism

    • I reject a lot of things, but they still happen.
      There are billions of other equally-useless people such as me out there.

    • these are Ahmadi muslims which make up less than 1% of muslims. and to boot, are persecuted by most all of other muslims for their beliefsGnash
    • ... for those on this site in the darkGnash
    • Ah yes.

    • Gnash, the bringer of lightDillinger
    • is it similar to how catholics wanted to murder protestants and vice versa? Jesus stop looking for an excuse to hate all muslims. Or perhaps get to know a few.fadein11
    • @gnash - so you are saying that this group of muslims are the only who reject ISIS/extremism? I really hope not. Because that is ridiculous.fadein11
    • I'm only referring to the 30K you pointed out -- obviously trying to suggest that they speak for majority of muslims, when they clearly don't.Gnash
    • I found the Arab league summit to be far more impactful but unfortunately it was just 'herp derp, look at Trumpf' completely missing the significance of it all.IRNlun6
    • Arab-Islamic American Summit rather...IRNlun6
    • @gnash they do speak for the majority of muslims - are you entertaining the idea that the majority approve of extremism? silly. As I said comment when you havefadein11
    • muslim friends.fadein11
    • you're quite wrong there. the majority of muslims aren't fans of this particular sect, and they absolutely don't speak for them.Gnash
    • the only idea I'm entertaining is that the purpose of your post is not support by the content of it.Gnash
    • *supported. and the fact that my best friend, from the age 16, is a muslim Turk doesn't make me an expert in islam.Gnash
    • not that, is a fucking idiotic thing to say.Gnash
    • your heart's in the right place but your brain could use some omega-3Gnash
    • Yes as you said before. I stand corrected if this particular flavour of Islam who reject extremism are not a good example. Of course having a muslim friend fromfadein11
    • 16 does not make you an expert on Islam. I have a number of longtime friends. And I have consistently debated the problems with Islam and indeed all religionsfadein11
    • with them. And I have also experienced nothing but warmth and positivity from their extended families despite them knowing I am an atheist. I am probably goingfadein11
    • off topic but I really don't think blanket judgement of people of a certain faith is helpful when a miniscule proportion of them are actually carrying out thefadein11
    • atrocities. I think that is the aim of terrorism and I will always fight against it. Not as a so called 'liberal' but because I was brought up to respect peoplefadein11
    • however different they are. Fuck ISIS, fuck terrorism. Noone disputes that - but don't play out their intentions because then they have won.fadein11
    • @gnash - I do rant a lot and should slow down when typing. And i know I wind people up. I have you. so my apologies for that. I know you talk a lot of sense.fadein11
    • Whats really sad is I eat loads of omega 3 - I eat fish (of the oily variety) around 5 times a week. So perhaps I am just stupid.fadein11
    • yes everyone heard there was free money being given out in the UK, no doubt Muslims are headed hererobotron3k
    • the truth of the matter is that isis is overwhelmingly sunni. Probably 99% if not 100%. Same for al quad, same for the 9-11 hijackers. they've been massacering_niko
    • shiites and other muslim denominations for decades. Gnash is absolutely correct that if only shiites, kurds, ismaelis, ahmadis, etc protest the actions of ISIS_niko
    • then it's almost a moot point. If sunnis are fostering this extremism and not doing anything to curb it, and are being protected by liberals sweeping them_niko
    • together with other muslims who are standing up, and not seeing the difference then it's a dangerous and misguided policy._niko
    • lol gnash
