Believe anything you like , wake up and see who are killing people and causing problems in the world. If the Muslims who are not guilty of atrocities wish to be distingushed from those who are killing people its time they spoke up and loudly. Its time they started fighting the killers.Instead of making excuses for why they are killing.
Nice post!
I know many conflicts today involve Muslims. Seriously, Islam is still operating like the 10th century. It seriously needs reformation.
The way to deal with Islam is to have our government officially declare Islam to be a terrorist organization. It's time to call a spade a spade.
You are right the number must be 29 of 30.
Just been there Amazing isn't it? it maybe the Trojan horse of the 21st century.
To leave this problem for our children to deal with will mean the end of Western civilization. It's time to throw poliltical correctness out of the door and call it like it is: Islam is not a religion, Islam is a terrorist cult bent on destroying all who do not submit and convert. It is long past the time for civilized people to stand up and demand that our legistators do something about Islam.
Behavior similar to Muslims in not found in any major religion today. This is because these are true religions. Imagine the outrage if just a single Christian minister stood up in church one Sunday and demanded that the church members go out and kill all who are not of the same faith. Even more, imagine the outrage if the church members followed the orders. The U. N. would be demanding that all Christians be "sanctioned". But Christians would never do this. Neither would members of virtually all religions...why?... because these are true religions. Islam is not a religion.
Here are a couple of links to other sites which have very good information on Islam:

I believe that it is time to start mobilizing against Islam by contacting all local, state and federal legislators demanding that Islam be handled just as any other terrorist organization. Otherwise, Western civilization as we know it will cease to exist, replaced by a barbaric terrorist regime. Anyone willing to set up a website aimed at raising public awareness of Islam and aimed at getting legislation passed classifying Islam as a terrorist organization so that Islam can be fought on a level playing field? A good first step would be for our president to admit that this is not a "War on Terror" but rather a "War on Islamic Terror".
I have learned that "fitting the curve" with "statistics" is a very dangerous game. It makes geniuses out of ordinary people. Sometimes ordinary people are actually the 12th angry juror, waiting for a place to display their displeasure.
Having traveled to Nigeria and spent actual time in and researching this country, their economy and the like, I can say with a great deal of certainty that the country is made up of a 60/40 split of christians to muslim people. Most of the islamic believers live in the north and are of Hausa tribal decent.
In the north of Nigeria, they are instituting extreme islamic law called Sharia or you may have seen Shar'ia.

The bend on imposing islamic law in strict form is called ultra conservatism in the secular sense. In my opinion it is highly oppressive and delimiting of choice, something God has freely given all of mankind.
Newton was correct. For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. Unfortunately where nature and theology brand their mark on humanity, the opposition to extreme islamic law is freedom, and freedom is a highly reactive concept and element when put into a super-collider with islamic law.
Where islamic fundamentalism differs from a moderate islamic democracy found in Turkey is fear. It is the fear of being tossed into extinction by virtue of the threat of freedom. Accordingly, it is a form of a mono-theism that will ultimately rule itself out of society.
The author has missed an extremely important element in his analysis. Islamic theocracies, in most if not all cases, which have grown to maturity have come from revolultions based out of a petrie dish called poverty. The flip side of this can be seen in our own country which was originally founded in the throes of anglican christianity. Growth in certain chrisian denominations - pentacostal, baptist, non-denominational - have risen out of the ashes of poverty.
Religious zealotry also has its roots in poverty. This is why it is important to improve the quality of life around the world under the breath of democracy. The freedom to chose and to be will always be the opposition of oppresive cultures and governments. In absence of choice and freedom, the oppressed can only thank "the feeding spoon" as an unopposed version of life on earth.
However, in free democratic societies, I do not see a threat of repeated history on assimilation and total cultural decomposition. I do see a threat of violent dissonance. For this reason, I believe it is important to continue to point to moderate islamic societies such as Turkey. The paradigm shift can succeed historic evaluation. The present has the answer for the future, not the past. The past is already gone and no longer exists.
However, I believe that the only way we (the non-Muslim world) will ever overcome Islam is by educating the masses. If we have to add a little "pressure" in "appropriate places" then so be it. The Crusades were only a start...we should finish it.
Nice links thanks.
