....a cold-blooded willingness to risk the caliphate (just as Mao was willing to risk Japanese victory and perpetual occupation of his country) for a greater chance to rule.

You might also find similarities in the French Revolution. The period in question was originally called the 'Reign of Terror'. A populace based revolution had just taken power from the long running French Monarchy. The French apparently were perhaps following the leads of the earlier failed English Revolution and the recently successful American Revolution. Unfortunately for the French, after their first successful Revolution, governance by the populace turned evil very quickly. One of the groups that participated within that 'Reign of Terror' was the Jacobin Club. It had a short life, but was perhaps the first leftist cabal. Even today the word Jacobin is still commonly known for leftist revolutionary.

Janis Joplin has crebility? Please elaborate.

[justa-hairyape]

Not her, but her words and the fact that the 60/70 lefties, (who are the lefties running the show now), still recite her words and still deny their inherent duplicities. Perhaps they find their psalms in strange places.

Render unto Ceaser what is Ceaser's..........

Sorry, you are wrong.

Major distinction between Christianity and Islam is the fact that Christians find salvation through God's grace and Christ's sacrifice. We aim to become one with God, not enforce his rule on all who oppose him.

It is a spiritual struggle to overcome the inherit desires of this world, not to overthrow it. We acknowledge that any actions on our part will fall short of earning God's forgiveness and salvation. Christ even stated He did not come to overthrow the kingdoms of this world, He came to save mankind.

This is not to say that we, as Christians, should not stand against the issues of the day we find evil and unjust, but that is not our directive. In fact, Christ told us we would be looked on as outsiders and many time despised for our beliefs. Yet, not once, did he request of us to kill in God's name.

Unfortunately, Islam teaches, and demands, its' followers to reshape the physical world we live in. It teaches that one's action, no natter how heinous, are glorified if it is done to promote Allah.

I'm sorry you cannot see the difference, it is rather glaring and obvious.

To acknowledge the true face of Islamofascism and its aims would mean having to concede the necessity of phone surveillance, tough interrogation, common sense profiling, a reliance on the CIA and a strong military -- all things they were taught to disdain.

Liberals will point to the detection and apprehension of the perps and say that demonstrates that a law enforcement approach, not a military approach, is needed for terrorism.

And then they will turn around and seek to take away the most vital tools for law enforcement in detecting terrorist plots. So they're simply not serious. But that's hardly a surprise.

[dirtboy]

Politically - no. Because he must submit to their preachers (spiritual leaders), who may not agree 100% with the policies or actions of the administration in charge

Yeah, right. I guess that's why Jesus said to render unto God what is God's and Caeser what is Caeser's.

So you argument falls flat right there. Oh - and there is no such passage in the Koran, because Islam seeks to have its religious leaders also be its political leaders.

I think that the husband and wife who were arrested in the foiled recent UK terror plots actually conceived their child as a part of the plot.

If that doesn't earn them a special little corner in hell, I don't know what on this earth would. Pretty stark illustration of the value these jihadi fascists place on human life.

[Jezebelle]

The left is wrong about the essential nature of people and the world and they can't admit that because to do so would mean abandonment of their status, which is all the author is basically saying. He's quite right.

[nathanbedford]

I am always getting jacobin, Jacobean and Jacobite confused.

Seems he might have also implied the liberals are rationalizing islamic fascism because deep down, they are cowards without principle.

Man has to have principles to have the courage necessary to oppose evil.

[Jezebelle]

What a crock.

since 2006-7-29....

[FreedomPoster]

Contemporary leftists think George Bush is Hitler, that the war on terror is the new politics of fear, that mankind is being manipulated by shadowy corporate and cynical political cabals into endless war in order to perpetuate the power of those cabals, raves about the military industrial complex, diligently researches the history of Germany and the rise of fascism and reads tea leaves looking for signs it is happening here (in the US, not Iran), expects near term total economic collapse and/or hyperinflation, about half think capitalism has never actually worked and must be rotten at the bottom, another third think freedom to print money and a spread of non profit enterprise can smash the corporate oligarchy, etc.

You're seeing the same sort of Lefties that I'm seeing, that is certain.

It's hard for Liberals to admit they're wrong -- humiliating, in fact. But when the fate of Western Civilization hangs in the balance, you'd think they might consider it.
