Can Islamic-fascist terrorism bring an end to American liberty? Can it conquer Christianity, the largest practiced religion in the world? And what of the other major religions of the world? The sane humanity breathing on this planet would respond, “No way!“ But then there are the radical Islamic morons who have a nihilistic ideology that supports their barbaric tactics of terrorism, and so they continue their idiotic Jihad. Apparently, the morons think they can dominate the world! And so the senseless killing continues.
While the sane humanity of the world respects freedom to worship without oppression and discrimination, factional followers of Islam just don’t seem to get it. Instead, they have adopted a religion of death and destruction to spread their philosophy of faith in their God. The Koran commands its followers to “fight and slay the Pagans wherever you find them.“ Loyal Jihadists have found such Pagans in New York, Madrid, and London.
But the insane murdering doesn’t stop with just Pagans and Infidels. On July 13, 2005, a radical Islamic moron killed himself and took with him 24 Iraqi children. To thwart the adoption of liberty in Iraq the Islamic terrorists are willing to murder innocent Muslim children who just happen to believe in Islam. Suicide is not an acceptable wont of the Islam faith. But dying in battle is revered and glorified by radical Islamic morons.
How do you fight such absurdity and vileness? While they cannot defeat our military with our arsenal of smart bombs, we remain stymied by their seemingly never-ending arsenal of volunteers who believe in martyrdom. What’s more effective in this religious war we are fighting, smart bombs or dumb bombers?
Ridding the planet Earth of every breathing radical Islamic moron may be desirable, but not likely doable, despite our vast superior military advantage. Ostensibly, this struggle has all the marks of a religious war, a war that can only be won when one ideology prevails over another. Interestingly, nobody refers to it as a religious war. Yet, if the morons within the Muslim religion would just agree to accept the dogma of other major religions of the world; that is, to be tolerant of other peoples‘ religious beliefs…what a wonderful world it would be! Clearly, that is not what Muslims are willing to do.
Somehow, moderate Muslims need to convince their moronic radical brethren that the planet Earth is large enough to accommodate more than one major religion. One must remember that the old testament of the Bible advocated “Life shall go for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot.“ This passage was contradicted in the new testament with “Turn the other cheek.“ The point is, there is room for tolerance in every religion.
Isn’t it obvious that the war on terror needs to be declared by the Muslim moderates? Talk about a silent majority! The moderate clerics need step up and make the same edict stated by President Bush after 9/11/2001. During a news conference just two months after 9/11, President Bush called upon coalition partners to back up their support with action. He said, “You are either with us or against us….there is no room for neutrality.” Moderate Muslim clerics need to essentially say the same thing to their radical brethren. Otherwise, the global war against terrorism will likely go on for a long, long time.
Muslims worldwide are relatively safe as long as war on terror remains a military war. But, if the Sleeping Giant is hit again as severely or even more so than 9/11, the war may just escalate into a religious war. The moderate Muslims will then wish they had put forth the effort within their own religion to dissuade radical behavior, for they shall not relish the battle cry, “Onward Christian Soldiers.”

Great tagline!
Islam must be destroyed, root and branch. Unless and until they'rewilling to re-write their 'book', they will be enemies of human freedom and dignity.
Just like modern American liberals.
I think the virgins' hymens must regenerate, so the harem is never emptied.
That's going to be a tough sell, as it goes completely against the writings of the Koran, not to mention 1400 years of human history and experience. To believe such a concept is not to be a "moderate" Muslim but an apostate one.
I doubt Satan is going to allow one of his most successful religions go wobbly on him - especially when it is in such an ascendancy.
Sorry to say that the old passage was not contradicted in the New testament. The Old Testament talked about meting out justice for severe harm, the "Turn the other cheek" passage needs to be taken in context so one knows it's about not lowering yourself to the same level as the a$$holes of the world:
28 bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you. 29 If someone strikes you on one cheek, turn to him the other also. If someone takes your cloak, do not stop him from taking your tunic. 30 Give to everyone who asks you, and if anyone takes what belongs to you, do not demand it back.
Luke 6:28-30 (New International Version)
"One more 9/11 type terrorist attack in America and every one of these Muslim swinging dicks and his family will have to pack up their Koran and baggage and go back to whatever hellhole they originated from. And if the ACLU or anybody else doesn't like it, they can pack up and get the hell out and go with 'em!
Our ancestors, for the last 200 friggin' years, didn't lay their lives on the line to make a better place for their families just so a bunch of camel jockeys could come here, terrorize our women and children and make hamburger out of our families."
I predict a big shift in public opinion against the liberal appeasement argument, because more and more Americans are getting this picture, and WILL NOT STAND FOR IT!.......enough is definitely ENOUGH!
Frankly, I think that we all need to do our part to make sure that the elections in '06 and '08 reflect the firm, resolute intention of the American people to stay the course, to up the ANTE on these creeps, and to take the battle to them more fiercely than we've already begun to do.
To he!$ with political correctness. That's the ROAD TO HELL! We are talking about SAVING AMERICA! Pull out all the stops. Full steam ahead. Muslims + Islam and all who adhere to the teaching of this "how-to-create-murder-and-mayhem" Koran have no business being in this country, as there is absolutely NOTHING in those teachings which is remotely compatible with the heritage, history or traditions of America. They should be deported, if they don't leave of their own accord. Our survival is at stake. I could care LESS about "offending" 7th century foaming-at-the-mouth nuts whose stated policy is ruling the world!
They're all SLERTS!
Thanks again, Kelly. Great comment!

More and more lately I've been reminded of a joke I heard a while back.
Arab (to an American): This TV program "Star Trek". Why are there no Arabs on it?
American: It takes place in the future.
(This joke was obviously written prior to DS9, so don't get on my case about Dr. Bashir, OK?)
sarc/off
we're fixin to play cowboys and muslims soon...
Ypu ! "Moderate Muslims" is an oxymoron right up there with "Jumbo Shrimp" and "Government Intelligence"
Unfortunately the Crusades were basically a farce. They never thought to cut the snakes head off and go straight to Mecca. The Pope at the time made some verbal flatulence about the pilgrims not being safely to go to the Holy Land--yaddah yaddah (did they actually say yadda yadda in the 11th century?)but when the Crusaders saw all that neat $h#t in the holy land and Byzantine empire they said "Let's get down" So they ransacked what ever they could and set up little kingdoms or whatever for about 250 years. I'd love to force Saudi style religious tolerance in the middle of Mecca and have the Pope come and say mass right on top of the Kaaba and perform an exorcism while he's at it as well. SORRY I AM IN SICK PUPPY MODE AT THE MOMENT
Yeah, the West has a history of putting up with quite a bit of cr*p for a while, and then getting mad and wreaking havoc on the enemy. Just ask the Germans, the Japanese, the Amerinds.
He said, in his address to our RNC convention last September, "God is not indifferent to America."
I continue to have faith that he is right, and that it will not take a couple of generations to prove it.

In Japan's case, they had ample opportunity to surrender, and even after the massive bombing raids, we resisted bombing the area near the emperor's quarters so as to keep whatever "moderates" that existed in the game.
Further, I submit to people who don't know many Muslims (I know a few at work) that I don't think most American Muslims differ from American Christians in the depth of their knowledge or commitment to their religion, which is to say, I think you have a lot who don't know what's IN the Koran or, more likely, the Hadith; and others who may know it and choose to "reinterpret it." Well, do we not have the same thing in Christianity? How many churches flatly ignore the teachings on homosexuality? Yet they still call themselves "Christians."
As Casey Stengel once said, the trick to managing is to keep the 1/3 of the team who hates you away from the 1/3 who don't care one way or another!
What do you call those valiant Muslims fighting and dying WITH US in Iraq and Afghanistan? Clearly they don't believe in Jihad. You disgrace them by your comments.
