The spectre of triumphant Islam.

These past 50-odd years, the West has been on the defensive trying (ineffectually) to keep Islam at bay, and Islam has been on the offensive in its declared aim to convert the infidels by armed force.

"Cyprus is not a simple piece of territory or nor is it composed only of the Turks living on it. The island has always had a historical, current and strategic importance for us. We have given thousands of martyrs throughout the history for this island which was joined to the Islamic territories on the 28th anniversary of the Hegira. The number of our martyrs in 1974 was 5 thousand. Cyprus has always been a part of our vision for the future. It is the only place where we gained territory in the last 300 years. From a strategic aspect, it is like a 'fixed ship' in the Mediterranean. Those who have some expecations from the East Mediterranean, North Africa, and the Middle East cannot overlook this island." - zaman.org | 02.27.2004 Friday | ALI BULAC

A call to arms, my brothers and sisters.

* Although Islam was stopped cold at Poitiers and Vienna, it conquered and held in subjugation for several hundred years present-day: Albania / Bosnia-Herzegovina / Bulgaria / Crete / Cyprus / Greece / Hungary / Montenegro / Portugal/ Romania / Serbia / Spain / and that's just in Europe

Add Makedonia, Portugal, Scicily, Kosovo.

And for short time: Hungary.

To arms against what? To kill whom? To do what?

No one is going to go on an aimless Vik from one end of the world to another. What is the plan?

I think economic warfare will end the threat of Islamists to the West more so then any military adventure just like opening the spice routes to East Asia and cutting off the Islamic middle man caused all the Islamic empires to contract and fall apart within 2 centuries. Find alternative modern day "spice" routes or alternative modern day versions of "spices" and game over for the holy warriors of Mecca. The Islamic world started to come apart the day the Portugese found a way to go around Africa and get to the Spice Islands. The decilne was slow but by the last 3 centuries most of the Islamic world was under European colonial control until the 1950s.

That means no more technology transfers to Islamic nations. They can buy the goods but we can't allow Islamic nations the ability to make industrial goods. The West (Europe) must stop and reverse all migration from the Islamic world. Prop up client states of secularists. Punitive raids on occasion.

Hmmm. Isalm -- the genocide religion -- the number of hindus killled is wrong, most estimates put it at nearly 100 million over 10 centuries.

-Islam, a Religion of Peace®? Some links...--

I think the author meant in the modern era i.e. 20th century until today in her tally of the victims.

"...most of the Islamic world was under European colonial control until the 1950s."

Look at Haiti,look at Africa, look at the Middle East, and tell me that you doubt we will have to colonize again. That is what I think will happen, not in my life time, but within the next century.

The West (Europe) must stop and reverse all migration from the Islamic world.

Too late.

"such Westerners that are still there are either diplomats, journalists, or Western renegades selling their expertise to Islam"

40,000 in the city of Dubai alone - and they are all renegades???

[cynicom]

Bush says Islam is a religion of peace, so there. End of problem.

[pau1f0rd]

The Muslims of Britain made it quite clear that the pronouncement of an Iranian cleric took precedence over the laws of Britain (which goes some length to explain why Britain had to drop the ''Great'' from its title).

Great Britain is the name of the main island, plus the smaller islands around it (like the Isle of White and the Shetlands). The British Isles is the name of all the islands around and including Great Britain, including all of Ireland. The UK comprises Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

Great Britain has never changed its name to 'Britain'.

Excellent post.

Does anybody know more about this frightening thing:

The European Parliament has recently passed legislation that will make a letter like this a criminal offence both to the writer as well as to the re­cipient should the latter fail to alert the authorities.

[Consort]

The downside of religion.

[angkor]

Islam tried three times--Poitiers, 732, Vienna 1588 and 1683--to conquer Western Europe by force of arms and each time it was turned back

The Muslims also dominated Sicily during the 8th century and at least once tried to take Rome, a venture which was quickly repelled after the initial sacking.

Memri.org published a speech not too long ago in which some whacky imam stated that Rome is Muslim territory to this very day, and they need to retake it.

[bukkdems]

In approximately 90% of media-reported foreign skirmishes, the provacateurs are described as "rebels" instead being accurately described as Muslims. If people knew the actual scope of Muslim violence and aggression, perhaps it would affect European and American elections. Not many know this, but the island of Trinidad was briefly taken over by Muslims about 12 years ago in a failed coup attempt.

This time it is not about spices, but about oil. The Islamic countries control most of the world's oil. If the U.S. were not supporting the dictators and rulers who will sell us oil, they would be overthrown, and the price of oil would soar.
