Question - In view of the recent incidents of New York and Washington DC, and taking into consideration the massive reaction of the Western nations and governments, do you believe that there is hope for the peaceful presence and spread of Islam and Muslims in the West?

Answer - Definitely. Without the 11th of September, would president Bush had appeared in the biggest mosque in Washington, would the British prime minister have shown himself on TV waving the Quran as a wonderful book., and the German chancellor inviting after the 11th of September the national representative of Muslims in Germany for the first time to Berlin together with the catholic cardinal and protestant leading bishop. This all is due to the 11th of September. Islam for the first time reached the same protocol status as the other religions. Before September 11 most Europeans never bothered to learn about Islam from their Muslim neighbors. Now they take their neighbors and their religions much more seriously.

9/11 as a vehicle to increase conversions to islam. Isn't that peachy. Notice the use of lowercase wehn referring to Christianity.

Did our wonderful leaders even realise how their actions and words would be interpreted by them?

Other dialogue gems are on the linked page but this one was outrageous enough to post.

"Now they take their neighbours and their religions much more seriously."

You betcha...after a weasel entered my chickenhouse and wreaked havoc, I took weasels MUCH more seriously. ;^)

Using the same logic (?), one could say that were it not for the slaughter of 6 million Jews in Germany, we wouldn't have the wonderful Holocaust Museum in Washington. Bizarre.

So the events of 9/11 cast no disgrace on Islam, according to this psychopath! (I use the word "psychopath" rather than its synonym, "Imam.")

We have a lot of fire ants around where I live. These fire ants sting and leave a welt. They are a general nuisance. Therefore, it is desirable to kill as many fire ants as one can kill, and to kill them all if it were possible to do so. The more you know about fire ants, the better you know how to kill them. For example if you kill the fire ant leaders (the queens), then the rest of the bed quickly disappears.

I can honestly say that if the fire ants had never appeared on my property, I would have never bothered to learn their ways in order to kill them more effectively. You might say I took them more seriously after they tried to infest my home. As a result, millions of fire ants have now died at and near my property.

Meanwhile, my life goes on in a fairly normal fashion, but my taking an interest in fire ants has not been good for fire ants. I hope it works out pretty much the same way for this false creed that serves as the religion of choice for so many of the lice-ridden people of the world.

That's it. It's hard for us to follow their thinking and rationale but there it is. And in the meantime, we keep courting the 'moderates', hoping it'll score us brownie points while they keep laughing and gloating at us and our naivete. How long will it take us to learn that any concession or compromise or gesture of goodwill as Bush going to the mosque in DC is interpreted as signs of weakness and encourages them further in their murderous johadi philosophy.

The only quibble they have with the Nazis is that the Nazis didn't finish the job.
