There's nothing "racist" about being critical of Islam. Islam has declared war on the "infidel". To hide ones head from it is to commit suicide.

Mark Steyn's column in today's paper was pretty sobering. Radical Islam does what radical Christianity and (laughable) radical Judaism has never done -- demands that you die, OR renounce your faith, be it Jesus Christ, Judaism, Wiccaism, Budha, whatever your religion, or atheism -- and declare your faith in Islam. Believe what they want you to or they will kill you. There are idiots who think that we can just "live in peace" with this "culture"?

To hide one's head from this is to indeed commit suicide.

And what, pray tell, did the Spanish Inquisition demand?

Unfortunately, you are correct. Recently, their have been several Islamic leaders who have, unabashedly, "offered" us the alternative of becoming Muslim, otherwise we face destruction. The "conversion" of Centanni and Wigg is their "model"---it's their ultimate goal.
