Charles Krauthammer caused grave unhappiness among some of his admirers last month when, speaking on Fox News, he attacked the Dutch politician Geert Wilders. At issue was Wilderss campaign against the Islamization of Europe, particularly in the Netherlands. What he says, Dr. Krauthammer charged, is extreme, radical, and wrong:
He basically is arguing that Islam is the same as Islamism. Islamism is an ideology of a small minority which holds that the essence of Islam is jihad, conquest, forcing people into accepting a certain very narrow interpretation [of Islam]. The untruth of that is obvious. If you look at the United States, the overwhelming majority of Muslims in the U.S. are not Islamists. So, its simply incorrect. Now, in Europe, there is probably a slightly larger minority but, nonetheless, the overwhelming majority are not.
Dr. Krauthammers was not the only voice on Fox News condemning Wilders last month. Glenn Beck hauled out the F-word, describing Wilders as fascist, while William Kristol, the editor of The Weekly Standard, warned that Wilders was a demagogue.

very true - a billion jihadi would run the place - except once they took over the world they’d start fighting with themselves, blowing themselves up and cutting off their daughters’ heads to demonstrate how honorable they are. Like orcs in Tolkein’s world, there’s a long-term downside to being blood-thirsty, hateful animals.
It's up to the 95% who are closest to them to creep up on them in the night and slit their throats (or something like that).
No, they’d all be dead and their homelands would be glass parking lots.

They are on their way to doing that. Islam is the problem, and “moderate” Muslims are not coming to the rescue. It is time for all non-Islamic countries to end their immigration. It is the Trojan Horse.
Somebody actively opposed to the dominance of Islam is not a moderate, he's an apostate.
jihad bump
Fascist wanted to eliminate races they didnt like.
Islam does eliminate religions they dont like.
examples are those Islamic countries with 100% Muslims (They are not 99.99%)
There are lots of people walking the streets who fit that description. I don't know if they comprise a larger or smaller portion of the jihadi/muslim ratio.
I have to be perfectly real: I've known mulsims who are tremendous people.
bump for later.
bump.
But the theoretical question was "What if there were 1,000,000,000 jihadists?" - and yeah, I think its safe to say that many sub-humans would eventually destroy themselves as well. It's all those "people" know to do.
I think it's proof that not everyone who reads the Koran uses it as an excuse to be an animal.

Talk about jihadi's. Please tell me, effectively, which is more barbaric.
referring to abortion in #35.
Briefly, abortion is a Christian sin; jihadist slaughter of innocents is a worthy goal of too many muslims.
But not all, probably not 0.10% -- assuming a billion muslims and a million jihadis.
Probably 20% of Catholics have had an abortion and support government funded abortions, somehow interpreting it as a "right" consistent with church teaching; Catholic politicians have been indispensible in promoting government funding of abortion (which will undoubtedly lead to greater incidence of it), somehow interpreting it as a "civil right" consistent with Church teaching; Catholics were indispensible in electing Obama president.
Catholics spearheaded the ramrodding of obama's "healthcare reform" legislation -- which includes not only taxpayer support of abortions but also penalizes by jail and fines anyone who refuses to subscribe to it -- praytell, is this less draconian that Sharia law?
Again, 9/11 happens every day in the United States, and has since 1967. 50,000,000 innocents have been slaughtered. I don't think Muhammed can boast of such a kill rate.
We need to face the barbarians in the mirror before we can conquer any others.
BTTT!
