I got this as an e-mail FWD from somebody for whom I have a tremendous amount of respect. Speaking as an educator with 16 years experience, this subject is in my area of expertise and I fully agree with the assessments made herein, as well as the history.

Bold and italic emphasis are mine, however.

I've had wahhabi before with my sushi. It's really good when mixed with soy sauce.

Thankyou. Excellent read.

But Islam in general is a religion of hate. Wahhibism is a more extreme form of this, yes, but in general Islam isn't the religion of peace and love.

There are two books, the Koran and the Hadith. I think (think not sure) Wahibism places more emphasis on the Hadith.

Anyway, I agree with Ann Coulter. Let's go in there and convert them all to Christianity =( to be PC I'd like to also add) or Buddism. I don't see any violent Buddists.

I don't see any violent Buddists.

Well, true. But when they get angry enough they just set themselves on fire.

"I don't see any violent Buddists."

Sadly there are violent people that call themselves Buddhist in Sri Lanka , defending their nation from the Tamil Tigers.
However it is the person that practices the tenets of Buddhism
in their personal life that is a Buddhist , one is not born a Buddhist. So those who are violent and who kill without much regret are not Buddhists, no matter what their upbringing, ethnicity, or cultural/national origin.

A couple of minor points:

...Congress unanimously declared war on Japan, and the following day on Germany, which had not attacked us.

There was one "Nay" vote on the war declaration (by, if I recall correctly, the same woman who voted against the declaration to enter "The Great War").

Further, the declaration of war against Germany was only after they declared war on US.

A couple of minor points....

Freepers always like to quibble. Yes you are correct. However, I didn't write the essay and so I didn't feel as if I should correct the minor points of history especially where the main thrust of the piece is the dangers of Jihadism.

[Whispering Smith]

More minor points. Ireland was neutral. Northern Ireland (a part of the United Kingdom) was in the war. Spanish neutrality cannot be over emphasized. It permitted UK access to the Med which was a crucial.

Yup. We need to remember that the enemy is the Wahhabi sect of Islam, not Islam itself.

OTOH, let's not forget that from it's very inception around 586 AD (speaking as a teacher of World History), Islam was spread by force. Believe or DIE! This simple strategy worked in the short term for beaten adversaries and in the longer term as children were raised in the religion. Let's also not forget that the failed crusades (all three) were in direct response to the armed incursions of Islam across the face of the earth.

Finally, let's not forget that while not all the terrorists of the world are muslim, all of the ones who have directly attacked our country in the last dozen years....are. Further, while I don't hold the muslim kids I teach accountable for 911...I do believe that there are terrorists currently hiding among the law abiding (in the loosest sense) Arab-American communities and that Arab-Americans know who they are and what their mission is and are doing nothing.
