Germany: High-level Politician Criticizes Islamic Violence
Signs of courage from Germany: German lawmaker blames Islam for religious violence
BERLIN, Sept 30 (Reuters) - A top German politician and close ally of Chancellor Angela Merkel said on Saturday Islam was one of the main factors in religiously motivated violence, and urged Germany's Muslims to reject all forms of brutality.But Ronald Pofalla, general-secretary of Merkel's conservative Christian Democrats, also acknowledged that many Muslims would find it painful that their religion was being abused for violent ends.
"Certainly it is painful for many Muslims that their religion is misused for violence," Pofalla wrote in a guest column for Sunday's Bild am Sonntag newspaper.
"But ... the problem of religiously motivated violence is today almost exclusively a problem of Islam. In addition, many of the victims are Muslims themselves," he said, according to extracts released in advance on Saturday.[...]

" ... many Muslims would find it painful that their religion was being abused for violent ends.
-from Ronald Profalla
It has to go further than this. Eventually western political leaders, if they want to have any societies left to lead, are going to have to speak the truth - it is not the "abuse" of the Islamic "religion" at work in this. It is Islam itself that drives violence. The words of the Koran, the example of Mohammed, and the other written texts of Islam constitute Islam as a cult of violence and an aggressive, expansionist political ideology that can provide no secure and lasting place for any moderation. The more than 1300 years of Islamic violence and oppressive of dhimmitude throughout the Middle East, as well as Spain's experience of this for over 800 years ought to be enough proof of this. It's time they started to make this terrible reality, and all its dreadful implications, clear to the public.
