As David Wood notes, contrast this turnout to the thousands of Muslims who turn out for rallies against cartoons of Muhammad or against Israel. But given a chance to show how they overwhelmingly reject “extremism,” and only a handful show up.

Here is David Wood’s video on youtube, once again de-bunking the myth that “it’s just a tiny minority”:

Oh, and there’s always this one:

Jacksonl03 says
Gee.
Could this mean that, contrary to many official proclamations and definitions, the majority of Muslims actually believe ISIS does indeed reflect true Islamic teachings and values and behaviors and thus cannot honestly object to its current activities?
Wow! Revelation in spades.
Beagle says
The genocidal armies of IS march on, this time over the Kurds by the Turkish border.

Quote:
“…If Kobani falls,” Sabri Ozdemir, the mayor of Batman, told me, “the peace process between the [Turkish] government and the Kurds will end.” He is also bitter about the failure of the U.S.-led coalition to intervene decisively—all the dozens of Turkish and Syrian Kurds I spoke to yesterday share that bitterness.
On Wednesday U.S. warplanes did strike ISIS targets in a captured Kurdish village near Kobani. And late Friday night there were more strikes on outlying areas of the besieged city now mostly empty of civilians. But the forays have done nothing to slow the jihadists. On Friday morning three ISIS battle tanks sat brazenly out in the open before trundling towards the center of Kobani. Wouldn’t the armored formation have been an easy target for U.S. F-15s?”

Not just F-15s. TOWs we should have given the Kurds. AT-4s, M-40 105mm recoilless rifles Obama gave the Libyan jihadis, Apaches, Cobras, A-10s we don’t even use any more, drones with Hellfires, etc…

Obama is a **** and criminal for not sending the air force against the ISIS troops out in the open.
OBAMA IS A CRIMINAL FOR NOT COMING TO THE AID OF THE KURDS WHEN IT WAS EASY TO DESTROY ISIS TROOPS!
30,000 ISIS soldiers is a very large army. Attrition works.
Tradewinds says
10 people? Bravo Houston! Don’t believe the Muslims’ lies and propaganda.

“Hamas-linked CAIR rally against the Islamic State draws around ten people”
Egyptian rally against the Muslim Brotherhood (founder of the Islamic State) draws around 33 million people!

God bless you Salah! I love those Egyptians! What an example for the world!
They truly have earned their democracy. God bless Egypt. Let us pray that other Arab countries come to their senses and that people learn to love their children more than Islam.
Salah says
Thank you, mortimer. Unfortunately, many good friends here on JW underestimate what really happened in Egypt. It was, and still is, HUGE.
I think it was the first popular defeat of Islamic supremacism in modern day history. I hope it won’t be the last.
Jen says
This is excellent news. Very happy for them.

Son of “Islam” approved by Obama and Cameron, a brand NEW RELIGION created for Public Relation Purposes!
A NEW MODERATE ISLAM HIGH-JACKED BY A TINY MINORITY OF MODERATE EXTREMISTS!
mortimer says
Leftards and lib-ullibles believe what they WANT to believe about Islam, anything but the truth.
Islam is the religion of misogyny, Arab racism, supremacism, crucifixion, torture, genocide, rape and beheading.
lebel says
Yet more proof that taqqiya does not exist. Why can’t cair get a few hundred Muslims to practice their religion and lie to infidels for a few hours? CAIR is the Muslim brotherhood with operatives everywhere waiting to destroy western civilisation from within but it can’t manage to get a few hundred guys to whisper sweet sweet taqqiya into the infidel’s ear?
Forget taqqiya, at this point self-preservation alone should bring a few hundred Muslims to condemn ISIS in front of the cameras.
Jen says
Their silence is so telling. A few token “this is not true Islam” from a few Muslim leaders and a few rallies with dismal turnout.
A few Muslims put out the hashtag on Twitter #notinmyname to indicate that ISIS did not represent Muslims.
There are a few more Muslims who just used it recently because of Alan Henning but in general, most of the people who used it seem to be non-Muslims showing support for Muslims. Tweeting a hashtag requires about the least amount of effort possible, you would think they would be eager to set the record straight about their peaceful religion.
Some Muslims who did tweet the hashtag lied about their religion, calling it the religion of “peace and tolerance and also the religion of justice.”
I believe that many converts are attracted to Islam in the first place because of this propaganda. You can find it all over social media. I have never heard Christians in such great numbers say these things about Christianity and yet the Bible contains many more themes which relate to striving for righteousness. Allah resembles Satan. These Muslims just plucked these ideas out of thin air. An insult to everyone’s intelligence.
R Cole says
And a couple of them – likely weren’t even Muslim!
exsgtbrown says
as usual no condemnation of the Quran verses that ISIS uses to justify its reign of terror
