Islam truth and myth (VERY GOOD READ)
The Washington Times ^ | 24 August 2005 | Amy Doolittle

Posted on 08/23/2005 9:49:16 PM PDT by Aussie Dasher

Robert Spencer has written five books about Islam. His newest book is "The Politically Incorrect Guide to Islam (and the Crusades)."

The following are excerpts of a telephone interview with Mr. Spencer.

Question: Why did you write this book? Answer: I wrote this book in order to counteract a lot of politically correct falsehood about Islam and terrorism that are hindering our response to this problem. Q: You've written several books on Islam before. What's different about this one? A: Obviously, it contains different information in an approach that I haven't taken before. It discusses the Crusades, which I've never done at length, and it tries to make the case in a form that people who are in a hurry and don't wish to delve deeply can find as a ready reference. Q: What has been the reaction to the book? A: It's either enthusiastically positive or vehemently negative. The negative responses are not only from Muslims -- some have been very positive -- but the leftist intellectuals, who are convinced that the West can never be anything but the oppressor and the non-West can never be anything but the victim, are really negative. Everything that I say in the book is amply documented by Islamic sources. I think the prevailing multicultural politically correct assumption that Islam is a religion of peace is founded more on fantasy than on fact.

Don't get too close to me or my family. You might get hurt.

It is up to your god to forgive you, I do not have to.
Perhaps it would be better were you to put your OWN
house in order instead of letting your rabid mad dogs
loose to kill and maim and have to be put down like the
feral creatures they are.

Another example of "Islam = peace"...NOT!

Die off Islamazis and koranimals! We are the sleeping Giant....now sleeping no longer. We are awake and see you ALL for what you are...a threat to the very survival of Humanity, and a boil on the anal warts of the world!

One lancing coming up...sooner than the Islamazis think, too...
