Ayan Hirsi Ali said it the other day: We are at war with Islam. Any act, no matter how morally repugnant, is defensible, even praisworthy, to Muslims if it is done in the name of their debased and burned-out god. There is no common ground with Islam, and there can be none. It is now kill or be killed.

The editorial is of course by the Editors, not the “Editirs.”

Is it any wonder almost half of Americans believe Islam is more likely than other religions to encourage violence against nonbelievers?It is a sad commentary on American intelligence that only about half the country understands Islam is violent. It preaches violence. It rewards violence. It only survives where freedom is destroyed.

Is it any wonder almost half of Americans believe Islam is more likely than other religions to encourage violence against nonbelievers? I guess 50% of the country connects all of the killing that Muslims do in the name of Islam, and the childish justification they give for it with "violence". The other 50% will have their heads cut off before they give in to the politically incorrect notion that Muslims are any more violent than the Amish.

The muslims in the US appear to be moderate, but make no mistake, if they were a majority here, we’d have sharia law and I’ll give you a few guesses as to how they would treat infidels, women and other religions here.

This so called religion of peace only has one reputation, one of death, submission, rape, and conquest.
I really don’t think that reputation is at stake.

In truth, plenty of Muslims do not agree with the horrid treatment of this teacher. The author of this story should have done a little checking. It took me two seconds to pull these up.
The Muslim Canadian Congress is organizing a teddy bear mail-in to protest Sudan’s imprisonment of Gillian Gibbons, a British schoolteacher.
http://www.nationalpost.com/news/story.html?id=136705
Multiple Muslim groups in the U.K. have condemned the sentence. Even the popular little boy in Mrs. Gibbons class who suggested the name for the bear came to her defense, explaining that he named the bear after himself.

Is it any wonder almost half of Americans believe Islam is more likely than other religions to encourage violence against nonbelievers? Yes, it's a wonder. Less than half? I'm disappointed it isn't close to 100%.

'A Religion's Reputation at Stake'... err... That train left the station a long time ago.
Now the only question is that now that we 'understand' enough about this 'cult' -- what do we do about it?

It is a mistake to think that CAIR represents "moderate" Islam. Far from it. It is an advocacy group perfectly willing to embrace radicals since radicals tend to advance the cause faster than moderates do. Such organizations tend to be made up of activists, and activists tend to be radicals themselves, and not only with regard to Islam, as a cursory glance at Greenpeace and PETA reveals.
Are there Muslims who regard the depredations of the radicals with horror and disgust? Of course there are - I know a half dozen or so. CAIR doesn't want to know them. They aren't useful enough.

Gives me an idea: Mohammad hankies.

A teddy bear mail-in? This should not be necessary. The muslim government where this woman is held should be protecting her - should never have given her a sentence. Why did the muslim government sentence her at all?

What of all the British parents who’ve named their spawn Mohammed this year! Seems the crazed mobs aren’t doing their job! Beatings should be scheduled for weekends, so that parents can be stoned and not miss work!
