    They should leave islam. I can't tell you how many people I knew who left the church over the molestation scandal.

    "Leaving the Church" isn't leaving Christianity. There doesn't exist a parallel to the Catholic Church and Pope in Islam. Why would they leave their faith just because some crazies have different beliefs than them about what the truth of their religion is?

    Key word in your reply = "seeing". You "see" the radicals on your TV because they cut people's heads off. What could the moderates possibly do to bump the terrorists from your TV?

    No, I say the very nature of the media will always ensure the terrorists represent Islam. So as far as the silence of the moderates goes, we only have our own culture to blame.

    Mafia Is Down—but Not Out

    Crime Families Adapt to Survive, Lowering Profile and Using Need-to-Know Tactics


    By Sean Gardiner and Pervaiz Shallwani
    Feb. 18, 2014 10:02 p.m. ET

    For more than two decades, New York City's five organized-crime families were plagued by convictions brought on by strengthened federal laws and the increasing habit of higher-ranking members cooperating with the government.

    Those years of high-profile decline created a perception that the city's mafia is on the verge of extinction. But law-enforcement officials and mob experts say the five families, while not the force they once were, are far from sleeping with the fishes. They have survived, the experts said, because of their persistence and ability to adapt.


    "I don't know that I'd say La Cosa Nostra was what it was in its heyday but I wouldn't say by any means it's gone away," said Richard Frankel, special agent in charge of the Criminal Division for the Federal Bureau of Investigation's New York office.

    Mr. Frankel, who supervises the FBI's organized crime squads in New York, said he believes the city's Cosa Nostra has quietly staged a comeback and is now more powerful than it has been in years.

    Despite the waves of prosecutions, each of the five mafia "borgatas"—the Genovese, Gambino, Luchese, Bonanno and Colombo—"still exists and each still has its hierarchy," said John Buretta, a former federal prosecutor who headed the organized-crime unit for the U.S. attorney's office in Brooklyn.

    And then there's this.......

    What Happened To The American Mafia

    Gangs of New York: Sicilian mafia offers Big Apple protection from 'psychopathic' ISIS
    Published time: 22 Nov, 2015 11:13


    The son of a New York mob boss has given Islamic State a stark warning, saying if they are planning any attacks in New York, they will have to contend with the Sicilian mafia. The notorious crime syndicate say they want to do their bit to protect locals.

    Giovanni Gambino, the son of a key figure in the Gambino mob organization, says the mafia is in a much better position than security bodies, such as the FBI or Homeland Security, to give New Yorkers the protection they need.


    Oh God the irony here is killing me.....:roflol::roflol::roflol:

    This isn't new at all. Same thing happened at 911..
    Maybe you're just watching the wrong kind of news.
    The one that is able to sell what you want to hear,
    so it's good for their tv ratings / commercials / income.

    Why should they do something? When that Bernie Madoff got busted for thieving 65 billion bucks, not exactly peanuts, it's not like we held all the Jews accountable and demanded they take action for what Bernie did.

    Please name for us One Thankful Liberal or New democrat operating in America
    who bothered to thank Rudolph Giuliani for making that a reality.His tireless
    efforts in the Big Apple to finally deal with Organiized Crime { Cosa Nostra }.
    Instead what did Liberal and Democrats alike do.They smeared him and
    went after him relentless in the 2008 Presidential Campaign starting in 2007.
    Went after his Police Commissioner Bernard Kerik.

    So the fact that they've just announced this and that they plan on working on it is not enough for you, no of course it isn't.

    The reality here is that I could post a story tomorrow showing one or one million or ten million Muslims actively working on fighting back against terrorism and you'd come back with the same "weak" replies.

    "Show me when it's done" - "where are the dead terrorist bodies, I want to see them" - "I didn't see it on the 6:00 news so it didn't happen" - "how do I know this story is true" blah, blah, blah, blah

    But in the meantime you'll bark at the moon crying for something to be done asking when are these people going to fight for themsleves or stand up for themselves or speak out.

    Funny how all of you want the rest of us to buy the BS about how "all it takes is one" when it comes to a possible terrorist sneaking in along with the refugees.

    But when you see a whole lot more than one Muslim stand up. (none of it means anything)

    These people just made this declaration, how about you just hold on to your hat, relax, and see what develops instead of screaming how your not impressed?

    Here the thing, you're typing but your not saying anything. Let the BS get said and get we condemn this out there. Here is the realty, that is as far as this is going to go. You're not going see any Iham get "kicked out" or any stop to terrorism. In the end, all this is showing is a move to please the mass.

    I agree the media hinders voices it does not think is good for ratings, or for political agenda. But lets get real here, in the age of social media it does not take much to get something started or to be heard if you are big enough. !.6 billion muslims in the world , im sure they could force people to listen to what they have to say.

    That is a very creative euphemism for "Murdering thousands of people all over the world"

    Let's get this straight, you post a link to an old outdated web page that has "archive" in the url. I go there and check out the citations and find numerous broken links and misinformation. Then it's my fault for not looking further? Please don't blame me for your short comings.

    Your Right.....not impressed. But it is a start.....now they have enough Clerics to gather up an Islamic Army that stands for all those good works, good words, and go out and engage the heretics that are trying to take their religion from them.

    Question is.....can they get on some ships and planes. Then enter what Daesh calls their state and take back their religion?

    And of course you're avoiding the point. Why should somebody leave their religion because of the actions of other people of the same religion?

    How is this even pertinent? But to answer your question, John DiFronzo is currently the boss of the Chicago Outfit, and is apparently prepping Salvatore DeLaurentis to be his replacement.

    So why don't terrorists represent the Amish, then, hmmmmm?

    - - - Updated - - -

    Don't you think that the constant, ongoing, heinous actions of untold numbers of Muslims shows that their religion is not really from god, and therefore a con? THAT would be reason enough to leave a religion (if it's a con), of course.

    Dude I understand embarrassment, but...........you've got to have family jewels the size of Venus to come back that reply after what I gave you.

    Have you ever heard of the expression: "always know when its time to stop"

    Yes, the supposedly all-powerful Jesus would have seen the vile molestations coming, but instead of warning the would-be victims, he chose to do the less moral thing (too busy creating "acts of god", probably, such as the deadly Aceh Tsunami that killed 240,000 innocent people - that he also chose not to warn.

    OMC, you sound pretty moral, would you have warned those children, and/or those tsunami victims if you had Jesus' alleged mutant super-powers? I would have, because I care about humanity.

    Were the constant, ongoing, heinous actions by Christians during the Middle ages enough to show that Christianity was not really from God, and therefore a con?
