Mahatma Gandhi is quoted in his book, Gandhi: The Power of Pacifism, by Catherine Clement, as follows:
"While Hindus, Sikhs, Christians, Parsees and Jews, along with several million adherents of an animistic religion, all coexisted in relative harmony, one religion that would not accept compromise stood out from the rest: Islam."
Gandhi was referring to the experience during his lifetime in the Indian sub-continent, but the growth of Wahhabism and the current resurgence in Islamic triumphalism since Gandhi's death in January 1948 now poses an increasingly existential threat to the West, to Judeo-Christian civilization, as well as to Hindus, Buddhists, and members other faiths.
The question repeatedly posed by talking heads on the TV networks and cable television is how and why so many Muslims, young and old, are living in the West and enjoying all the material and educational benefits bestowed upon them -- and also committing hideous acts of terror and perpetrating atrocities upon innocent civilians, even against their very own neighbors.
The Times Square bombing attempt on May 1, 2010 by Pakistan-born Faisal Shahzad and the 2009 Fort Hood massacre of unarmed members of the military by Major Nidal Hasan (still described by the problematic U.S. administration as "workplace violence") are well-known. So too is the attempt at terrorism by a Somali immigrant, Mohamed Osman Mohamud, who had come to America at the age of five with his family as a refugee from the hell that is Somalia, and who attempted to kill thousands during a Christmas tree-lighting ceremony in Portland, Oregon. But until the Chechen Muslim brothers succeeded in their massacre at the Boston Marathon, most terror attacks had been thwarted since the 9/11 destruction of the Twin Towers and part of the Pentagon by the 19 Saudi Arabian hijackers, in which 3,000 people were murdered.

Sahih Muslim (19:4294) - “When you meet your enemies who are polytheists (which includes Christians), invite them to three courses of action. If they respond to any one of these, you also accept it and withhold yourself from doing them any harm. Invite them to (accept) Islam; if they respond to you, accept it from them and desist from fighting against them ... If they refuse to accept Islam, demand from them the Jizya. If they agree to pay, accept it from them and hold off your hands. If they refuse to pay the tax, seek Allah’s help and fight them” Osama bin Laden echoes this order from his prophet: “Does Islam, or does it not, force people by the power of the sword to submit to its authority corporeally if not spiritually? Yes. There are only three choices in Islam … . Either submit, or live under the suzerainty of Islam, or die.” (source: The al-Qaeda Reader p. 19-20)
Only a fraction of Germans belonged to the Nazi Party.
WWII and the Holocaust occurred nonetheless.
“If this is so, why then do the majority NOT embrace Religious and Ideological Warfare?”
Their silence or dancing in the streets after 9/11 speaks volumes.
They support Jihad via their pocket book and work against us using our own citizens who refuse to let the last few decades give them a clue about this cancer on society.
Look at any country where this fake religion, cult actually, runs the show and you will see what is in store for us should we not fight back immediately.
They are in this administration and their numbers will only increase so we must act now.
A good Muslim, by definition CANNOT be a good American.
The US Constitution and the Koran cannot coexist. They are like matter and anti-matter.
A free society cannot exist unless it is free of Islam.
Well, nearly all. McVeigh wasn't a muslim.
Other than him, I can't think of any.
Oh yeah, the Unabomber. 25 or 30 years ago.
Eric Rudolph. That's all I can think of.
The rest: all "votaries" of the prophet.
Look at Muhammed and you’ll have your answer.
That's why our elites are importing them by the hundreds of thousands.
No, it doesn't make sense. Liberalism is a mental disorder.
Of course these people will say that. Their religion also tells them to lie to the infidels.
EXACTLY!!!!! Now you understand why they want to kill you.
Why Do So Many Muslims Embrace Religious and Ideological Warfare?
Embrace? You don’t embrace, you don’t follow, you don’t convert to Islam, you submit.
Even the word Islam means submits.
Ask yourself who are the famous missionaries of the Muslim faith?
There are none, they are warriors they must spread their religion thru conquest.
Like liberal ideas so good laws must be passed to make you follow them
Islam so good the Koran even instructs followers to kill those who refuse to believe.
The Boston bomber was named after Timur the Lame, or Sword of Islam, it is estimated he killed 17 million of those that refused to submit to Alah.
Well you could ask that about any religion. Why do so few Catholics attend weekly mass for instance. Many, many people of certain religions do not follow the TEACHINGS of that religion. It's human nature. The problem is that ALL other religions teach peace and harmony with all others whereas Islam TEACHES that infidels are to be converted or killed. Big diff.
There are “cultural” Muslims, just as there are “cultural” Catholics and “cultural” Jews.....They claim to belong to a religion to go along and not stand out, but they really don’t believe in it.
bkmk
Exactly! Their word for it is kaffirs.
The Irish conflict is an ethnic one, which has been portrayed as religious by the media. The battle is between the native Irish, and the Scots-Irish who the Brits imported from Scotland.
It doesn’t matter what sort of conflict it is or was, there were people who became involved in helping whichever side they were on through their church due to an appeal made on religious grounds. That’s the very rare exception among Christians and without the ethnic angle even that exception wouldn’t be there as an example of anything even vaguely similar to what is very common among Mooze Lames.
