  abu bakr al-baghdadi put out an audio recording on saturday calling on muslims to join the fight.

  it is his first public pronouncement in over 7 months.. a number of muslims have taken to twitter to mock the self-styled caliph of the islamic state with comments like "i've got star wars on sunday, maybe later" and "would do but there's engineering work on the trains around london bridge.

  soz".

  Then you have missed all of my many posts criticising Islam. IMO Douglas Murray, Maajid Nawaz, Sam Harris and Ayan Hirsi Ali are the voices of reason among a flood of wilfully blind regressive liberal commentators.

  My OP is an observation that there are some rational muslims who have adopted western values about freedom and democracy and that they should be respected and encouraged.

  Ok sorry I have not read all your posts. Yup you phrased it right "willfully ignorant." But a few, very small number have been westernized. I do know a Muslim who I didn't know was Muslim until recently and she is very secular. I think she is more about the family traditions than the doctrine. There is hope some will wake up but there are so many of them and growing everyday. I see nothing but more radicalization and terror as they increase their presence in western nations. Even if a few step up and be brave against their cult, the majority will not.

  Governing Body Letter details things that "have never been done before." - Really?

  [note: copy/pasted this with permission from reddit.].

  once each year, the governing body writes a direct letter to the congregation members included in the yearbook.

  in his annual message to the catholic faithful (urbi et orbi) delivered on christmas day, the pope spoke about world peace, terrorism, and the refugee crisis.

  I agree but unfortunately, they are the minority. I saw on the BBC that Muslims were protesting in Ireland and the UK after the Paris attacks. Out of the 2.5 million Muslims only two dozen came out to protest against it.Islam is a cult, not unlike the JW cult. It is dangerous because of the indoctrination and the fundamentalism it produces. Christianity had a reformation and is now peaceful. Judaism had a reformation and is now peaceful. So far, Islam has not and never will. Christians might not like my lifestyle and perhaps even HATE me for it, but I have no fear that I will be killed by a crazy bible thumping Christian over my lifestyle choice. However, I have friends from the LGBT community in France and they fear going out in public in many places now because of recent mob violence against the community and the Jewish community. All of the perps were Muslim.

  I think you are living in some alternate reality where Muslims are going to all be your friend someday and accept you for who you are and we can all sing Kumbaya as we celebrate freedom. I live in the here and now and it is a dangerous world filled with hate and violence. And right now, Islam is the main culprit of that violence.

  I agree! There are probably hundreds of lurkers. I know one personally who is an elder and friends of my family. He knows all but is against the wall. If he comes forward, he loses his whole family. But he could post something here...

  I was only 12 at the time but I got it. It was apparent to me this was not inspired by "God."

  If you have 30 minutes, watch this 3 part serious. And get ready to wet yourself.

  ok, at our recent assembly, i noticed that there were quite a lot of brothers wearing beards.

  not just the older dudes, but right across a range of ages, young men, middle aged men and older men.

  is watchtower beginning to relax this rule at last?

  I think from reading the comments everyone here understand how a cult works! Now if we can just help the poor followers to wake the fuck up.
