Nahh, that can't be it ... your theory doesn't fit the rhetoric we're about to hear. It *must* be because they're scared of Muslims, not that American Muslims are notoriously "self contained" while American Christians, as a general rule, seem to think it's hunky dory to use the law and the public coffers to push their agenda of "good ideas" on others. Of course, this makes one wonder: If their ideas are so great, why do we have to make them legally mandatory or use public funds/lands/resources? That said, the whole affair is a bit silly. I dislike outspoken Atheists as much as I dislike anyone who uses their personal ideology or spirituality as a club to bludgeon the world. Quote HistoryQuoted:

Or all Jews do this because they blah blah. Atheists are people. Some atheists are lying, backstabbing jerks, just like some Christians. Oh and some of both groups are white, some are black, and some, shockingly I know, are asian!!!! See how silly it sounds when you apply it to a group you don't hate? Some atheists are idiots, and others just want to be left alone. |

I'm guessing its because Islam is still a minority religion here and the atheists are going after bigger fish. If we had places in the US trying to impose sharia law I am thinking you'd see some pushback from atheists As one atheist replied to me in a Yahoo comments exchange to one news story, they don't see the radical Islamic movement as being an issue in the US In essence, it doesn't affect them personally the same way Christians trying to legislate morality are. Well, when Prop 8 passed in 2008 in CA, the gays protested the mormons but not the black churches that had a lot of turn out against against gay marriage. |

I think basically it is because the left has identified its enemy, and that is conservatives. It isn't simply that the left is afraid of Muslims. It is true many on the left enjoy the feeling of "standing up for social justice" and against "tyranny", and they prefer to do so in safety and comfort. But it is basically that they have identified their enemy, and Islam is their ally. You can see this in Zombie's photos from San Francisco area protests. Atheism, gay marriage, and abortion are just hammers to use against conservatives. Protesting black churches wouldn't make sense, because the protests were attacks on conservatives, and gay marriage was not the real goal. Same with issues like late term abortion. Or some cross that was put on a hill after WW1 or WW2. FWIW, I'm not a socialcon. I'm not religious. I actually voted against prop 8. But more and more what I see is that the left is managing the battlespace. The issues they push are part of that management. They use those issues to distract from issues of substance, fire up the base, influence swing voters, and go after various "sorta libertarian" voters like young techies. |

Their proseletizing is the demand to submit or die. There's a tiny amount of truth to your comment. Islam - Muslim - Taslim. Do you see a pattern in those words? The triconsonantal root, S-L-M, carries the meaning of submission. In the case of Islam, submission to God. But that's besides the point. They dont proselytize. Ever had a muslim strike up conversation about the prophet and his message? Obviously not. I may be a bad christian, but I dont care. The way we're taught to proselytize does more harm than good. If anything, it desensitizes people to christianity and even when theyre provided with a good message, they turn their ears off because they've heard it all before. Proselytize through your deeds alone and I believe you'll have greater success. But like I said, im a bad christian. |

The critical thing left out in your analysis is how fast these 17M Muslims came to such a decision. If they all woke up in the morning and acted as one, yeah, it would be hard to stop. In a more realistic situation with a slower rise time (giving the West time to react) the results would end up very, very bad for the Muslims. The elephant in the room for the past several hundred years has been Western dominance. There has really been no point where Muslims could have taken on the West. As far as the DC snipers, their success was very much the result of our safe, peacetime society. It is an extrapolation that doesn't make sense. |

Not wanting to live like Salaaman Rushdie for the rest of their lives? A lot of it is cowardice, some of it is straight up stupidity, but most of it is simple racism and arrogance. When you say "confrontational atheists", you're really just talking about lefties. They don't see muslims as a real threat - they don't take them seriously, because many white coastal lefties are some of the most racist, self-centered fucks you will ever meet. It's kind of ironic; the lefties think they can play along with the muslims, and that both groups will benefit in their own little fiefdom. Meanwhile the muslims simply wait until the knives can come out. It's the same mistake the GOP establishment makes in dealing with the same lefties, who themselves are waiting to drop the hammer on their opponents. We're not all praying to mecca right now for the same reason that we're not all carrying around little red booklets and calling each other "comrade" - because both islam and socialism/communism create dysfunctional societies. Muslims don't spend much time peacefully converting; they inherently attract young hooligans, then exert pressure through taxes and public policy, and then - when they feel they have the upper hand - the killing starts. Their success is due in a large part to having a well practiced blueprint for doing that sort of thing. |

As much as muslims hate America and Christians, and the kind of liars that they are, it makes perfect sense for some of them to lead the waves of attacks on Christianity and Patriotism by pretending to be atheists and liberals. It provides the perfect cover.
Some of them at the same time pretend to be conservatives to do the same to the liberals. Guess who gains the upper hand if Americans were divided and fighting each other, instead of uniting against the one true enemy who wants us all dead, enslaved, paying extra taxes to be tolrated, or "changed" to their ways. There is one test that reveals such traitors, and that is to question their stance on Islam. |

Why do confrontational Atheists not attack Muslims? It's pretty obvious, isn't it? Muslims would probably kill them. Christian's are the soft-white under-belly for Atheists hateful intolerance because they were indoctrinated into that belief system by the media. The media wants to eradicate Christianity for the sole reason of homosexuality acceptance. Christianity offers a framework of acceptable moral behavior that makes homosexuals feel bad about their unhealthy lifestyles. Modern atheists have been taught their whole life by movies, tv, music, public school teachers, and college that it was acceptable to hate Christians. Rarely will you ever see a positive portrayal of a Christian from Hollywood. It's almost against the law. Christians are usually the bumbling, enemy in the plot. They were also taught by the left that it's not politically correct to attack Hindus, Buddhists, or any other non-Christian world religion. It's pretty funny that the modern atheists philosophy is that Christians are backward dopes when they fail to acknowledge they were brainwashed their whole lives by the left into that view. 
Jody Eldred is an Emmy-Award-winning producer-director. He said,
"Did you know that nine out of ten Hollywood films lose money? Did you know that the vast majority of new television shows are cancelled because no one is watching them? Do you wonder why?" The obvious answer, says Eldred, is "because they're mostly awful." But why are they awful? "Because," notes Eldred, "the people creating them are completely out of touch with the people they are creating them for! Their worldview is vastly different from the worldview of most Americans. We have a largely Christian nation, but Hollywood is largely un-Christian, and in many if not most cases, anti-Christian. They're not just out of touch. They're against you![5]" |

The angry ones are angry at a Church and a God that they somehow believe has caused them harm. The angry ones are more anti-Christ than anti-religion. There's a huge difference. We have a few of them on GD. And we have a few non-believers who are just simply that, non-believers.

Your motivation is that you don't want your behavior judged by system of morality so you rebel against the system. As an American, you can believe whatever you want, bro. I don't care if you believe or don't believe. I am just telling you that your atheist religion is a religion and it was brought to you by the left. Most atheists don't realize they were brainwashed by the left. In the Large Soviet Encyclopedia, second edition, volume 5, (published 1950), the Word "God" is defined as "A mythical invented "being." V. I. Lenin said, "Atheism is a material and inseparable part of Marxism, of the theory and practice of scientific Socialism." Lenin also said: "Whatever helps the world Communist revolution is good; whatever hinders it is bad. Religion, through its insistence upon individual responsibility to the Creator of all things, interferes with the advance of world collectivism. It is, therefore, irredeemably evil." Communist Goals (1963) Congressional Record--Appendix, pp. A34-A35 January 10, 1963
17. Get control of the schools. Use them as transmission belts for socialism and current Communist propaganda. Soften the curriculum. Get control of teachers' associations. Put the party line in textbooks. 21. Gain control of key positions in radio, TV, and motion pictures. 26. Present homosexuality, degeneracy and promiscuity as "normal, natural, healthy." 27. Infiltrate the churches and replace revealed religion with "social" religion. Discredit the Bible and emphasize the need for intellectual maturity, which does not need a "religious crutch." |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Confrontational people attack those with power. Muslims are like 1% of the American population and have little power to influence legislation or people's day to day lives. Christians do. They attack the weakest points. Christianity is held in suspicions at best, active contempt at worst by all of our governmental, media and academic institutions. They are going after low hanging fruit to deliver the coup de grace to any christian influence in our society. Muslims are avoided because they will fight back and kill their enemies if necessary. Even if those enemies are only rhetorical. |

Quote HistoryQuoted:
You proved my point. Your motivation is that you don't want your behavior judged by system of morality so you rebel against the system. As an American, you can believe whatever you want, bro. I don't care if you believe or don't believe. I am just telling you that your atheist religion is a religion and it was brought to you by the left. Most atheists don't realize they were brainwashed by the left. Quote HistoryQuoted:

Or it could be by personal experience. Seeing first hand the complete hypocrisy and judgemental nature of a family member all in the name of religion. You proved my point. Your motivation is that you don't want your behavior judged by system of morality so you rebel against the system. As an American, you can believe whatever you want, bro. I don't care if you believe or don't believe. I am just telling you that your atheist religion is a religion and it was brought to you by the left. Most atheists don't realize they were brainwashed by the left. You are right I don't want to be judged by hypocrites. A system of morality? More like a system of brainwashed drones believing in a work of fiction. People who follow a religion having to place praise/blame on an external entity for the good/bad experiences of their life are so mentally inept they can't take ownership that their current lot/position in life is due to their own decisions and not the outcome of some external force. |

Um, IIRC this occurred after the invasion of Europe was stopped by Charles Martel. So, Christendom's first encounter with Islam was Islamic invasion. Not the other way around. Quote HistoryQuoted:

because muslims tend to kill people, much safer to attack a religion based on peace love and turning the other cheek...
