JERRY FALWELL TARGETED FOR DEATH.

"I think Mohammed was a terrorist. I read enough by both Muslims and non-Muslims, [to decide] that he was a violent man, a man of war," Jerry Falwell said in a CBS interview last week. Now, Mohsen Shabestari, a representative of Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, has fired back some rhetoric of his own, proclaiming, "The death of that man is a religious duty, but his case should not be tied to the Christian community." The upset and shaken conservative Baptist minister apologized Saturday:

A Religion of Peace???

Are you somehow surprised that Iran would target Falwell?

In any case, the Iranians are Shi'ite, whereas al-Qaeda and 80% of Muslims worldwide are Sunni. So while Shabestari can say whatever he wants, most Muslims are going to regard whatever emanates from Tehran with about the same fervor as most Baptists regard the latest pontifications of the Mormon Prophet.

Just a comparison.

JERRY FALWELL TARGETED FOR DEATH. "I think Mohammed was a terrorist. "

Jerry Falwell revealed only part of the Mohammed saga.
Mohammed was not only terrorist, he was also a child molester, bandit, murderer and a common thief.

The only problem I see with Falwell here is that he was a wuss and apologized too quickly. Thank goodness despite the public scolding that Robertson got, he has only amplified his comments regarding the intentions of the Arabs towards Israel.

It comes as no suprise to me that Jerry Falwell's comments should incite such irrational hatred from the Iranian leadership. It is my firm opinion, after spending time in the region and reflecting on what I see and hear, that muslims are some of the most arrogant, racist, intolerant, and violent people in the world. I think Islamic extremism is the most grave threat to the world since communism. It is not possible to have a civilized discussion with many of these people because, as soon as you question an aspect of their faith, or propose an alternative explanation for why they have fallen behind the rest of the world in virtually every measurable aspect of success, they are ready to declare jihad against you and cut off your head. I am so sick of the hypocritical muslims and their false faith that they attempt to push on the rest of the underdeveloped world--seeking out the ignorant and impressionable for sucide bombings and jihad against the west. Why are no Muslim clerics issuing fatwas against the rhetoric of Ahmadinejad and others who voice their desire for the destruction of Israel? Why does no Muslim leader have the courage to denounce acts of terror, suicide bombings, murder of other muslims in Iraq, and all the other tragedies that play out daily in the middle east? Either they are scared of the reaction they will get from thier fellow muslims, or perhaps, they agree with what Ahmadinejad, Al Qaeda, Hezbollah, Islamic Jihad, and others propose. I think the first explanation is much more likely, but the fact remains that the world faces a dangerous enemy, which makes it their mission to spread their faith that has been so manipulated for political and personal reasons that it leaves us to wonder what the future will be like if no one is willing to stand up to these people, denounce their teachings as false, and to spread the message of peace and freedom that President Bush so courageously has been doing. God protect us from the radical muslims and their disrespect for human life. The middle east is the most volatile, dangerous, and needy region on this earth.
