Bosnian Muslims survived the horror of the Balkan wars of the 1990s, with hundreds of thousands of dead, tens of thousands of rape victims, and thousands of destroyed mosques, but with their Islamic spirituality and conscience intact. They did this because they were firm in their commitment to civility with their non-Muslim neighbors and acceptance of the legal norms of the West. Their Islamic leaders do not brand non-Muslims “unbelievers” (much less “infidels,” a term the Christian origin of which is revealed by its Latin roots.) They were tested by atrocities and horrors, and were forced to fight for their lives. But these Muslim teachers accept peace and preach peace. In all my time with them I have never heard the term “jihad” pass their lips.

Has the author done any research? Large areas of Bosnia were ethnically cleansed of infidels. And Kosovo is a textbook case on how muslims treat infidels when they come into power...

"Exultation at the shuttle disaster would hardly seem normal in a man of science no less that religion."

The key here is that islam is not a religion in the sense of Christianity. It is more akin to a cult, in that it is dominated by strong personalities that seek power and dominion over the world. It seeks the submission of all non-adherents, or they must die. It is as antithetical to Christianity as it can be, with little redeeming about it. So, for the writer of this piece to make this statement suggests he is blind to reality - as our leaders seem to be - about the enemy that is islam.

Excellent analogy...

I don't know. Eventually syphilus attacks the brain. I see no evidence that anyone who practices this farcical death cult posesses one.

Syphilis within a cancer.....interesting thought. Shame that Schwartz is so foolishly idealistic that he thinks islime can be turned "moderate". If he had ever seriously thought about what is said in the Koran and the Hadiths, he'd understand that Wahabbism is the ultimate expression of what Mohammed had in mind, and is therefore irredeemable. The only way to "moderate" islime is to eliminate it......period.

[wideawake]

Shhhh!!! Never criticize Stephen Schwartz.

I offered a critique of another column he wrote, and he accused me of censorship and of establishing a dictatorship because I thought his column on "Saul Bellow as Jewish Pope" was weird.

[wideawake]

Schwartz is, I believe, a practitioner of Sufi Islam.

[Bombardier]

Then he has a case of cranial-rectal inversion, and his words should be politely IGNORED.

The real syphilis of Islam is Muhammad and his false God Allah. Wahhabism originates from its corrupt base, Islam itself. The whole of Islam is a syphilis, a Satanic corruption of the human brain.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

There is no God named Allah.

[Kenny Bunk]

Well, this post rather neatly crystallizes the "Moderate Islam" line of camel crap. This Schwartz must be the leader of the "Can't We All Get Along?" school of pluralism.

Left unanswered is is why the Bosnians encouraged hordes of bloodthirsty and presumably Wahabist mujadaheen to settle in their midst, or why they continue to use the feral Albanian Muslims as their hitmen. Also painting the Bosnians as some sort of innocent victims in this Balkan fracas is clearly insane.

Those on the Left (going out on a limb to characterize this guy) cannot deal with the fact that Islam just plain be bad for humans, because they firmly believe that one religion is as good as another, and "Gee isn't that old Judaeo-Christian Bible full of violence, too?"

Even though the left believes one religion is as good as another, apparently to them, a dead Muslim is worth a whole lot more than a dead Serbian Christian.

Radiation therapy is the the only cure....

[Route101]

radiation bomb also...perhaps?

Several should do the job...

Yeah, but I'd bet cash
there are Christians who would say
Born Again Christians

(for instance, Jack Chick)
are the "syphilis" within
Christianity.

Let's not demonize
all Wahhabis, just the ones
that can't find a way

to live with others
without cold blooded murder.
(I'm guessing there's some . . .)

Wahabism is Arab syphilisation at its worst; then again, given the impotentates proclivities, the wurst..

[joesnuffy]

Amazing who you see holding it's hand these days...

imo

Here's one for you: Which is worth more--a dead Croatian Christian or a dead Serbian Christian? Sometimes lost in the Balkans discussions is that Milosevic is indicted for more warcrimes against the Croatian Christians than against any other group.
