The Clash of Ideologies - A Review

"...It's time we recognized the nature of the conflict. It's total war and we are all involved. Nobody on our side is exempted because of age, gender, or handicap. The Islamofacists have stolen childhood from the world." [FReeper Retief]

"...That the totalitarian force pitted against freedom wears a religious makes this civil war among mankind all the more difficult to engage. Loving freedom as we do, it seems reprehensible to deliberate against a religion. But this is no ordinary religion as it demands absolute obedience of all to their religion at the cost of freedom itself." [FReeper Backtothestreets]

"Insurgencies, whether explicitly terrorist or more subtle, persist because of a lack of confidence on the part of their targets."

Extremely Important - See below!

Brigitte Gabriel appeared as a guest on Glenn Beck's program yesterday (11/15) regarding Radical Islam. She had with her a textbook from a Muslim school within the USA that she read from. The text portrayed Christians and Jews in an extremely unflattering way. Everybody needs to understand this. Brigitte Gabriel certainly does. She saw this practiced before in her native Lebanon as a young Christian teen. Mosques throughout the USA and throughout the world are being financed by Saudi Arabia, and books such as the one Brigitte Gabriel read from are published in Saudi Arabia for these schools.

The seeds of hatred are being sown throughout the USA and western nations so Islam will already have their forces in place when Islam is ready to set them upon us. The hatred must be sown before the terrorism is harvested. Every vile Muslim deed of terrorism occurring throughout the world is being prepared for us here at home.

READ THIS AND UNDERSTAND! From the eight grade Saudi textbook: "As cited in Ibn Abbas: The apes are Jews, the people of the Sabbath; while the swine are the Christians, the infidels of the communion of Jesus."

Choose a side folks, and choose wisely. Don't think because a non-Muslim is neither Christian or Jew they are safe. The necks of all non-Muslims is tender to their knives and swords.

The Saudi public school system totals 25,000 schools, educating about 5 million students. In addition, Saudi Arabia runs academies in 19 world capitals, including one outside Washington in Fairfax County, that use some of these same religious texts.

WAKE UP!

Thanks for the PING. Mark Steyn is exceptional.

If this sounds callous and shallow, so be it.

Not callous at all. Actually it reminded me of something a friend told me some years back. He asked if I knew how Muslim states deal with suicide bombers, and why these acts are not undertaken in those states. When I replied no, he told me. Once the government identifies the corpse of the bomber they round up the entire immediate family and execute them. Thus a suicide bomber in a Muslim state not only kills himself and intended victims, but has essentially signed a death warrant for every member of his immediate family. I don't know if his explanation is valid, but I've never known him to purposely lie to me either.

Our problem in the war is that we are too civilized. we need to teach them the true meaning jihad. no more namby pampy rules of war. We need to fight to win. we must kill them all. They need an example of our savagery. The first nuclear weapon that Iran's president uses will be the end of Islam.

Death to Islam for Islam is death.

I'd have done what you are suggesting the morning of 9-11 had I been in the White House ... even as the janitor if I could have gotten access.

The Democrats and the Left not for nothing are regarded as the Mommy Party. And when you think of mothers, sex doesn't quite enter the picture. In catering to caring for others, sex has been left out of the vocabularly. Not as a source of selfish pleasure but as the vius origins of humanity. That is associated with the male gender. If we men think of sex every day, its because we want to perpetuate the species. And women shame us out of such a natural instinct. No wonder the West is committing demographic suicide. Its men who have been stripped bare of not just their masculinity but the life-instinct upon which the survival of the human race depends.

"Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached." -Manuel II Paleologus

Thanks fanfan! How long did it take for delivery?

[fanfan]

Less than 2 weeks.

I was impressed.

[kellynch]

I'm 3/4 through this book. It says a lot of the same things that Londonistan does, but this book is somewhat less dry. Not that I'm saying I need to be entertained, but this is more like having a conversation with Steyn than like being lectured by Phillips.

I appreciate both books, and am glad to have read them.

Mark Steyn gets it! Thanks for the ping!

The 'crusaders' of PC just took our 'House and Senate'. . . PC is firmly embedded in our culture; and it really did not take long; and whenever we thought it could not get worse or more rediculous; it did. Worse, there really is no end to it.

Taking the long view, PC culture in a dangerous world is self-correcting, in that the PC culture will be destroyed by its less PC enemies. My theory is that this cycle is endlessly repeated in history: empire grows through heavily masculine and often brutal conquest, establishes order, gets complacent, then feminized, weak, decadent and vulnerable - and finally gets overrun and slaughtered by the far more masculine societies that stalk the periphery.

That's no comfort to us, though, since our PC idiots are going to drag all of us down that path, whether or not we're anywhere near their terminal stages of corruption and decadence.
