ISLAM-HATERS: AN ENEMY WITHIN
NY Post ^ | September 7, 2006 | Ralph Peters

Posted on 09/07/2006 10:49:07 AM PDT by presidio9

ISLAMIST fanatics attacked us and yearn to destroy us. The Muslim civilization of the Middle East has failed comprehensively and will continue to generate violence. The only way to deal with faith-poisoned terrorists is to kill them. And the world's only hope for long-term peace is for moderate Muslims - by far the majority around the globe - to recapture their own faith.

But a rotten core of American extremists is out to make it harder for them.

The most repugnant trend in the American shouting match that passes for a debate on the struggle with Islamist terrorism isn't the irresponsible nonsense on the left - destructive though that is. The really ugly "domestic insurgency" is among right-wing extremists bent on discrediting honorable conservatism.

How? By insisting that Islam can never reform, that the violent conquest and subjugation of unbelievers is the faith's primary agenda - and, when you read between the lines, that all Muslims are evil and subhuman.

I've received no end of e-mails and letters seeking to "enlighten" me about the insidious nature of Islam. Convinced that I'm naive because I defend American Muslims and refuse to "see" that Islam is 100 percent evil, the writers warn that I'm a foolish "dhimmi," blind to the conspiratorial nature of Islam.

Web sites list no end of extracts from historical documents and Islamic jurisprudence "proving" that holy war against Christians and Jews is the alpha and omega of the Muslim faith. The message between the lines: Muslims are Untermenschen.

We've been here before, folks. Bigotry is bigotry - even when disguised as patriotism. And, invariably, the haters fantasizing about a merciless Crusade never bothered to serve in our military (Hey, guys, there's still time to join. Lay your backsides on

About f*cking time.

One side is Dhimmitude. The other is genocide. Both are the submission to evil. There is a middle ground, and that's how we will win.

To have an obsession with something called "RACISM!" is to blindly follow fashionable politically correct trends!

Really? How come they are almost completely silent, if they exist in such large numbers?

That still adds up to 100% evil.

Even if Ralph does not take seriously what the Koran says, many muslims do take it seriously. Those "moderates" are actually unfaithful to the teaching of their murderous scriptures. Even if only 10% of muslims are fantics, the consequences are too serious for me to ignore them.

If Mecca (a "muslims only" city) is reflecting of the true nature of Islam (and it is one of the five pillars of Islam, a pilgrimage to Mecca), then it IS a supremacist ideology that is intolerant of other faiths.

How does one co-exist with supremacists? With subservience to the masters.

When I see Islamic nations PROTECTING the rights of non-muslims to openly practice their faiths and for ex-muslims to not be in fear of death penalty or murder for converting away from the faith, I might see it as something more than either a death cult or a supremacist political ideology (masked by religious trappings aped from earlier religions).

Odd that he does not recognize or acknowledge the racism espoused by many followers of the religion of peace TM.

What of the tales of "subhuman offspring from pigs and monkeys"?

Should we have looked at the good things Nazism was doing for the German people? NO!

FOF - Fear of Fatwa.

Plus it is forbidden to be critical of the faiths of other muslims. Even those who hijack the religion and do things that are forbidden under Islam.

Even if only 10% globally is into physical holy war (and they can be found across cultural barriers and around the world), that is still 100million+ soldiers.

Exactly. Where were they when there was an anti-terrorist Muslim march in Washington? Lots of grass showing and crickets chirping, as I remember it.

And where are they now? If they truly understood the meaning of the word "martyr," they would be speaking out against the Mafia-like control of their mosques, and letting the chips fall where they may. "Martyr" doesn't mean someone who kills innocent people--it is the soul of innocence itself: someone who would risk all for God. So speak up, innocent Muslims!

When prominent Muslim Clerics start preaching peace and tolerance in their mosques in Egypt, SA, Iran, Pakistan, Indonesia and even here in America... Peters will have a point.

As long as they continue to spew hate in their native tongues when they think were not listening, he's out on a limb.

Islam may be reformable, but it's going to need a serious spanking followed by a time-out for bad behavior.

In any case, short of redacting from the Koran those passages people keep quoting to him (much to his annoyance), Islam is always going to be a ticking time bomb waiting for someone with a pack of matches to light it.

This surprises me because I usually like Peters' columns. He's a retired MI Officer and has generally supported President Bush and our WOT.

He may have confused Muslims who are waging jihad against us and those who are not. Those who are not are just waiting for the right moment to begin.

"Once free of the maladies of the Middle East, Muslims thrive in America. Like the rest of us. "

Tell that to Debbie Schlussel "What I Saw in Dearbornistan"

... fanatics who've perverted a great religion.

This is only true if Mohammed perverted the very "religion" he founded.

"I must acknowledge that there's nothing in the Koran as merciless as God's behavior in the Book of Joshua. "

Peters, you have a serious problem of faith if you are comparing God's acts in Joshua with the acts of man and exhortations to act that are in the Koran.

Unfortunately for the author, this statement is actually true. For anyone who doubts it, this is a good starting point: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-religion/696408/posts

In war, you can kill a soldier on the other side without hating him. You can do it with disgust for the act, and probably should. But it still needs to be done.

For too many "moderates", all it means is that they have no interest in participating in Jihad -- but NEITHER will they fight AGAINST the Jihadis
