THE SWORD OF MILITANT ISLAM
MASADA 2000 ^ | 8/10/02 | MASADA 2000

Posted on 08/10/2002 6:03:10 PM PDT by Bear Bottoms

 

     While the world fixates on its usual obsession... setting up Jews for a second Holocaust, Islam is also hard at work laying waste to major portions of the world and preparing to impose Islamic rule over everybody and extinguishing their respective non-Islamic civilizations.  

"Are you nuts," you might ask? " After all, is not Israel their primary enemy?"  But to think that all Islamic issues spring forth from the Arab-Israeli conflict and that only Israel is a target shows a naivety that only invites disaster down the road!   After Islam finishes off Israel, their "Little Satan," all the other larger Satans will meet up with the Sword of Islam!  America has already seen the spillover of Islamic terrorism... the bombing of the U.S. Embassy in Beirut with the loss of hundreds of U.S. marines, the bombing of the U.S.S. Cole naval ship off Yemen and now the 9-11-01 World Trade Center bombing in New York.  Yet America has received but a small taste of what Islam has in store for them! 

 

The world "ISLAM" is Arabic for "surrender" or "submission" to the will of Allah [God].  In the language of the Holy Qur'an, Islam means the readiness of a person to take orders from God and to follow them through. It is not derived from the word, "peace," as Muslims would have us believe!  Look it up in any dictionary and see for yourself! Seeing a Muslim praying nearly flat on his face five times a day even projects the appearance of a master-slave relationship... a submission of sorts.  And while the Muslim is submissive to Allah, all "non-believers" (Christians, Jews, Buddhists, Catholics, etc.) MUST submit to the Muslim. That's how THEIR God wills it to be!

ISLAM: "Religion of Peace?"

    Islam is today being portrayed as a peaceful and tolerant religion. History proves otherwise! Though there were certainly periods of relative tranquility and tolerance, minorities and non-Muslims have always been prosecuted under Islam. In fact, Islamic ideology is based upon an intense hatred of the non-Muslim.  For Muslims, there exist two kinds of non-Muslim enemies: kafir (non-believers in Islam) and ahl al-kitab (People of the Book).  Kafir, such as Buddhists and Hindus, must either convert to Islam or face execution.  People of the Book include Jews and Christians. These people need only submit to Muslim authority to avoid forced conversion or death. Although they may keep their original faith, their status becomes dhimmi (a "protected," yet inferior non-Muslim status). So instead of outright forced conversion or slaughter, the Christians and Jews would be allowed to remain somewhat unmolested as long as they acknowledged the superiority of the Muslim.  However, as  100,000 dead Lebanese Christians and Israel's beleaguered Jewish population have discovered over the years, these guarantees have proved worthless!

ISLAM: "Religion of Peace?"

The Holy Qur'an (the "Bible" of Islam) was inspired by Mohammed.  No one knows his last name because Mohammed could neither read nor write.  But one thing is for certain.   Whoever wrote this sick collection of madness must have had his brain baking far too long in the hot desert sun of Arabia!  The name "Mohammed means "Highly Praised" [or was it "Highly Crazed"].  

    In effect, Islam remains a religion of the Dark Ages.  It is the most violent and intolerant faith that has ever been presented to mankind!  A  prima facie example of the insanity found within the Qur'an is the fascist, warlike notion of "Jihad," or "Holy War."  Apologists for Islam say "Jihad" is one personal struggle to obtain a higher moral standard. But what it really represents is a violent military action (even terrorism) against the non-Muslim. If you don't quite believe this, visit Ground Zero where New York City's World Trade Center once stood!

Where's There's Smoke, There's Muslims!

Until a nation has embraced Islam, it is legally considered a battlefield (Dar-ul-Harb).  Once it has converted to Islam (or all its citizens have been slaughtered or driven out), it then becomes a Land of Peace (Dar-us-Salaam).  For those who think that the threat of Islam is only a phenomenon of the Middle East, think again!  Although the Jewish State of Israel has been fighting a brave and fierce battle against Islam for over 50 years, there are many other "hot spots" in the world.

For example, the supreme Taliban's hard line leader in Afghanistan, Mullah Mohammed Omar, issued an edict that Buddhist statues insulted Islam.  Apparently no one clued in Mullah Mohammed Omar that Islam is an insult to humanity!  In any event, within days of his edict, all Buddhist statues, including a giant 5th century Buddha at Bamiyan carved out of sandstone (see photos), were destroyed as the "civilized" world could only stand by and watch it happen. 

ISLAM: "Religion of Peace?"

    Unfortunately, most people aren’t aware of Islam's murderous philosophy or they find it too monstrous to believe. However, a brief review of recent history and current events should make you doubters out there re-think your position.  Two articles in the L.A. Times wrote about Muslims in Indonesia forcing Christians of all denominations to convert to Islam or get their throats slit.  Thousands upon thousands of Christians were first converted and, according to rigid Islamic religious dictate, forced to undergo sexual mutilation of their foreskin or clitoris (with kitchen knives and razor blades) to make them conform to Muslim standards.  Then they were are enslaved to their local Muslim chieftain.  This was not some aberration of Islam but rather business as usual for all but the so-called "moderate" factions. This is Islam's sad legacy of murder, terror, lies and brainwashing to advance their cause of global conversion and subjugation... their so-called "personal struggle"... THEIR "Jihad!"

ISLAM: "Religion of Peace?"

Other examples: Algeria is wracked by bitter fighting between Islamic Fundamentalists and the military.  Nigeria is in the midst of a civil war between Moslems and Christians.  In Kenya the Islamic Party has declared Holy War on the government.  In Turkey the secular Muslim government is being challenged by the militant Refah Islamic Party.  Christians in Lebanon have largely fled. A civil war rages in the Sudan between Muslims in the north against the Christians in the south.  In recent years, more than two million Sudanese have been killed out of a population of 35 million as its government used bombings and famine in its war on its own people. A war also rages between Muslim Eritrea and Christian Ethiopia.  The result of fighting between Muslim Azerbaijans and Christian Armenians was 35,000 casualties. Armenia was shrunk because of territory "gained" by the "breeding-with-a- vengeance" Muslims population.  A war between the Christian Serbs and the Muslim Albanians and Moslem Bosnians could spark at any moment.   Muslims in Chechnya , Daghestan,  Tajikistan and Uzbekistan have ignited  insurrection against the pro-Russian regimes. By 2050, Russia will be driven out of Central Asia by Islamic invaders. The Great Russian Bear will be driven into hibernation permanently!

ISLAM: "Religion of Peace?"

    Ten thousand Lebanese Christians were massacred in 1860s, while over 100,000 were killed in the Lebanese civil war of 1975-1990. Thousands of women were raped. That war was provoked by Yasser Arafat's PLO.  Dammur was a thriving Christian Lebanese village until 500, primarily young boys, were massacred and its population was expelled.  This sort of violence and intolerance symbolizes treatment of Christians by Muslims in the Middle East.  And, instead of an international arrest warrant Arafat received a Nobel Peace Prize!

    Even the Christian under Palestinian-controlled areas ["West Bank" and Gaza] are not faring so well. Bethlehem was 70 percent Christian in the 1970s. Today it is close to 70 percent Muslim. The growing Islamization of Palestinian society makes Christians very uncomfortable. The size of the Christian Arab community in the West Bank may have fallen as low as 10,000, a drop of 50 percent since the mid-1990s.

    Continuing on... Uighur Muslim separatist terrorists are active in Western China's Xinjiang Province.  The Philippines is nearly 95% Catholic/Christian yet the Abu Sayyaf (aligned with bin Laden's al Qaeda) Muslim rebels want their own independent Islamic Nation.  War rages between Indonesian Muslims and the Christians in East Timor. Malaysia is a time-bomb ready to explode between Muslims and the minority Chinese and Indian populations.  

   Hindus in India have met the Sword of Islam and even burnt alive for refusing to accept Islam. Estimates go as high as a Muslim kill rate of 80,000,000 in Greater India!  With 200 million Muslims being 20% of India's population, civil war can break out any time. It's even worse in Israel where Israeli Arabs number 23% of the Jewish State's population!

    Colonel Khaddafy and his Libyan army have carried out numerous military excursions into neighboring Chad.  Even Egypt's Christian Coptic community (less than 10% of the population) walks a fine line between tolerance and oppression. 

ISLAM IS BY FAR THE GREATEST MURDERING
FORCE IN THE HISTORY OF MANKIND... 

and its "best days" lie ahead as the forces of Islam gather steam!!!

    The Muslims have a saying: "First (destroy) the Saturday People (Jews)... then the Sunday People (Christians)."  And when the Muslims tire of killing or converting non-Muslims, they go after other Moslems!  The ten-year Iran-Iraq War resulting in  the deaths of over one million deserving Muslims was said to have been fought over a land dispute.  This is not entirely true for the underlying hatred between two conflicting views of Islam was the major spark that ignited this conflict.  

Most of the so-called "moderate" Arab nations are scared to death of radical Islamic movements for they represent a most real physical threat to their continued absolute rule.  For that reason alone, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Kuwait and all the other fictitious kingdoms throughout the Middle East gladly pay cash AND lip service to the most vicious of the Arab, Palestinian and Islamic Fundamentalist terrorists. 

ISLAM: "Religion of Peace?"

    Don't think that Islamic activity is confined only to the Third World. Great Britain has seen a ten-fold increase in the number of British Muslims and Muslim immigrants in the past 40 years to the degree that 2 million of its 58 million population now follow Islam (nearly one million in London alone!).  This Islamic invasion is obviated by the sight of over one thousand mosques littering the British landscape.  Even London itself has become a main launching pad for much of the pro-Islamic, pro-Arab and pro-Palestinian Internet propaganda!  Over the past 20 years, say experts, Britain has become a headquarters for extremist Muslim clerics and a fertile recruitment ground for new followers. 

Muslims in Britain have made it clear that they have no intention of assimilating. Dr. Zaki Badwari, former Director of the Islamic Cultural Center of London wrote, "A proselytizing religion [like Islam] cannot stand still. Islam endeavors to expand in Britain. It aims at bringing its message to all corners of the earth. It hopes that one day the whole of humanity will be one Muslim community, the Umma."  And in late May 2001 the Brits were treated to their very own Muslim-Pakistani rioting!  There is something deservedly humorous that this should happen to the pro-Muslim Brits who waste no time dumping on Israel!  God Save the Queen! 

France is faring no better. Their population of 60 million is filled with 5 million Muslims.

AMERICA'S ISLAMIZATION

Before Americans start pitying the poor Brits (who truly deserve a good bashing from Islam), they should checked their own  neighborhoods!  Besides Louis Farrakan's Nation of Islam, the Black Panther and New Black Panther Parties with all their black wanna-be Muslims, there are also REAL Muslims and their communities are springing up everywhere.  There are now approximately 7-8 million Muslims in the United States. One frightening example of their prolific growth in American is Dearborn, Michigan. Of a total population of 90,000 Dearborn residents, 25,000 are now Arabs!  And of all the Dearborn children under the age of 18, a full 58% are Arab children! Other developing centers of Arab/Muslim growth are Florida, Texas, New Jersey and California. God Bless America!

  Every year huge numbers of Arabs, Pakistanis, Saudis, Bengalis, Kuwaitis, Syrians, Egyptians, Albanians and dozens of other ethnic Muslims who hate America swarm into the United States. Every year hundreds of mosques which preach the extermination of all non-Muslims are being added to the thousands already pointing their minarets skyward. Many are distributing large numbers of pamphlets and leaflets attacking Judaism, Christianity and other non-Muslim religions and urging young Americans (esp. angry black Americans) to convert to Islam! The nerve of these evil people to exploit the freedoms given to them here in America and other democracies when their goal is to extinguish ALL freedom!  The huge Muslim birthrate, Muslim immigration, the massive expansion of Muslim religious and educational institutions that convert Christians to Islam, and the purchase of major U.S. companies by Muslim oil sheiks are all also part of their strategy. Oh yes, look for a Islamic propagandist to appear in YOUR kid's school soon exalting the virtues of Islam!

Arabs in America are a disloyal fifth column. They work relentlessly to undermine the U.S. struggle to survive in the face of the growing Muslim terrorist threat.

IT KEEPS GETTING WORSE...

   Every single Muslim country on this planet is brutal dictatorships. Make no mistake about it.  Islam is on the move and is prepared to extinguish any and all civilizations that get in its way.  Muslims are fundamentally non-assimilatible. Many foot soldiers of Islam have been sent to the four corners of the globe to "blend in" as "sleepers" and form future terror cells to await the call for action.  Islam stands out among "religions" for its murderous tendency wherever it builds up to "critical mass," typically 20% or more of a given population? (France, Belgium and the Balkins ALREADY have at least a 10% Muslim population!)  How many countries have been, or will be, partitioned or redrawn to accommodate Islamic constituencies? The trends are clear and these processes are irreversible. Unless the civilized world resists and fights back, Muslims will vanquish the planet within a few decades.  Only THEN will the "civilized world" know what devilish barbarism and uncompromising rigidity Israel has for so long been up against!!!

ISLAM: "Religion of Peace?"

    Islam is the fastest growing religion in the world. One out of every five people in the world is now a Muslim!  One out of every three babies born in the world today are Muslim. Apparently the Muslims can still breed with a vengeance much faster than they can purge each other off the planet.  Interestingly, there are no "hate groups" in 'Islamic countries.  They don't need hate groups as long as hate is institutionalized right from the local mosques!  For sure the most dangerous time on the streets for non-Muslims is right after the mosque prayers end on Friday evening!  

ISLAM: "Religion of Peace?"

There seems to be no end to the limitless supply of willing Jihadist martyrs volunteering  into the service of Allah.  In the Israeli/Arab-Palestinian conflict alone, Muslim children rush forward to confront Israeli soldiers (guarding Jewish settlements) with rocks, Molotov Cocktails, iron bars... all in the name of Islam.  Summer camps for Palestinian children teach  not how to sing and play but rather how to properly strap dynamite onto their chests!  They are taught a hatred of Jews and a love of death... right from the cradle!

ISLAM: "Religion of Peace?"

   Will the Muslim world ever change or try to compromise?  THIS is indeed unlikely for they have declared that "any compromise is impossible for us since the Islamic Laws were laid down by Allah himself, not by men!"  So the next time you feel like lecturing  Israel on how to get along with the Muslim world, think instead how YOU will get along with that same Muslim world when they come looking for you!

Induction Into the Service of Islam...
They'd Rather Kill Jews Than Watch Their Kids Grow Up!
or Maternal Instincts Turned Inside-Out!

World War III is underway and it's much more sinister than you could have imagined.  When did it start?  Fourteen centuries ago.  Who started it?  An insane pedophile named Mohammed who, along with his gang of terrorists, formed the savagely oppressive, dehumanizing religion of Islam.

Through centuries of fanatical conquests (Jihads) and terrorism (when Jihads failed), Islam has metastasized into a modern day world cancer.  As we speak, the civilized world is beginning to collapse under it and has no idea how to react.  How does one stop a grotesque cult which will settle for nothing less than TOTAL world domination?  So while the U.S. looks under every rock for Osama bin Laden, the bloody borders of Islam are closing in on all sides... for in fact EVERY American Muslim has the potential to become a bin Laden or an abettor of a bin Laden! 

Even a Jew-basher/Israeli-basher like Pat Buchanan has it correct when he wrote... "In population, Islam is exploding, the West dying. Islamic warriors are willing to suffer defeat and death, the West recoils at casualties. They are full of grievance; we, full of guilt. Where Islam prevails, it asserts a right to impose its dogma, while the West preaches equality. Islam is assertive, the West apologetic – about its crusaders, conquerors and empires. Don't count Islam out. It is the fastest growing faith in Europe and has surpassed Catholicism worldwide. And as Christianity expires in the West and the churches empty out, the mosques are going up." WorldnetDaily-12/7/01

An impending disaster lies ahead. Unfortunately the U.S. military cannot help for it was always preparing for the wrong war.  Soviet or Chinese communism was never driven by such fanaticism.  Besides, the Russians stayed in Russian and the Chinese in China.  By contrast, the Soldiers of Islam are spreading into all societies... first as simple shop owners and cab drivers, then students, then student activists, then violent agitators and finally assassins and bombers.  Look for a mosque to appear soon in YOUR neighborhood.

UPDATE 9-11

LOOK FOR MORE LOW-FLYING 757s

  
-- September 11, 2001 NYC World Trade Center Towers --
Islamic Fundamentalist fanatics conduct a
Wall Street "transaction!"  Don't say we didn't warn you!

The perpetrators of the attacks in New York and Washington are being portrayed as Muslim "extremists" when in fact, they were "faithful" Muslims. Most of the Muslims in America are also "faithful" to Islam.  Don't say we haven't warned you about this either!

Another thing... If you're a Western  European and are feeling sorry for Americans, don't bother.  Your countries are ALREADY Muslim-infested beyond salvage! Southern France has more mosques than churches. In fact, 10% of Frances "Frenchmen are Arabs! (And France thinks Israel is a sh**y country!!) In Italy, the Muslims want Christian frescos destroyed. To all you Europeans who sell out Israel for Arab oil, you too will soon have YOUR September 11th.   Guaranteed!

Warning to Americans: As long as you continue to be force-fed a daily sanitized version of Islam by corrupt media outlets like CNN or a State Department campaign declaring that America is at war against terrorists but not Islam,  your Middle East policy will continue to be marked by failure and your interests both home and abroad will remain in danger.

DATELINE SAUDI ARABIA: America's great friend, Saudi Arabia, from whose land came the September 11th Arab terrorists who flattened the World Trade Center, a portion of the Pentagon and made a very big hole in a Pennsylvania field, has for some time been spear-heading the spread of Islamic doctrine. The Saudis has wholly or partly financed some 210 Islamic Centers, more than 1,500 mosques and 202 colleges and almost 2,000 schools for educating Muslim children in non-Islamic countries in Europe, North and South America, Australia and Asia. 

 

SUGGESTION: Christians, Jews and Hindus should really think about joining forces instead of getting on their knees like young girls begging not to be gang raped!

"The only way Muslims can have assurance of salvation and eternal life is by becoming a martyr for the cause of Islam," Reza F. Safa, author of "Inside Islam."

"To a Muslim," he added, "dying and killing for the cause of Islam is not only an honor, but also a way of pleasing Allah. Reza F. Safa, author of "Inside Islam."

Now From the Koran Itself...

O ye who believe! Take not the Jews and the Christians for friends. [al-Ma'idah 5:51.11]

Whoever changes his Islamic religion, kill him. Sahih Al-Bukhari (9:57)

Slay the idolaters wherever you find them, and take them captives and besiege them and lie in wait for them in every ambush. (Koran 9:5)

Take him and fetter him and expose him to hell fire. (Koran 69:30-37)

I will instill terror into the hearts of the unbelievers, Smite ye above their necks and smite all their finger tips of them. (Koran 8:12)

They should be murdered or crucified or their hands and their feet should be cut off on opposite sides. (Koran 5:33)

"Know that paradise is under the shades of swords." Sahih al-Bukhari Vol 4 p55

More on Paradise...

"There will be "gushing fountains" and everyone "shall recline on jeweled couches face to face, and there shall wait on them immortal youths with bowls and ewers and a cup of purest wine." Suras (or chapters) 55 and 56 of the Quran.

"Therein are bashful virgins whom neither man nor jinnee will have touched before ... virgins as fair as corals and rubies," sura 55. A few lines later, you might remind them of "virgins chaste and fair ... they shall recline on green cushions and fine carpets."

"The smallest reward for the people of Paradise is an abode where there are 80,000 servants and 72 wives, over which stands a dome decorated with pearls, aquamarine, and ruby, as wide as the distance from Al-Jabiyyah [a Damascus suburb] to Sana'a.'"

It will be the day, God willing, you spend with the women of paradise...Know that the gardens of paradise are waiting for you in all their beauty, and the women of paradise are waiting, calling out, "Come hither, friend of God."

"Go Out and Kill Jews, Christians, Buddhists and Hindus!"

And not necessarily in that order. 
And they also kill each other as w/ the Taliban and the 1,000,000 killed in the Iran/Iraq war

Franklin Graham takes on Islam as a religion of hatred
Martha Sawyer Allen


The Rev. Franklin Graham, heir to the legacy and chief executive officer of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association (BGEA), is not mincing words. He is telling Americans that Islam is a religion of intolerance and violence.

"Where are the clerics?" he asked Thursday in an interview while on a business trip to Minneapolis. "Why haven't Muslim clerics from around the world gathered at ground zero, held hands together and prayed to Allah for forgiveness and told the American people this is not Islam? Because they believe it was right. This is a just cause -- their jihad."

Graham was in Minneapolis to meet with BGEA employees about the organization's move to Charlotte, N.C. But he also wanted to talk about his new book, "The Name," released Tuesday.

His remarks and the book have drawn heated response from the Islamic community.

"Mainstream political leaders and religious figures must speak out against the growing demonization of Islam by extremist right-wing commentators and by representatives of the evangelical Christian community," said Ibrahim Hooper, communications director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations, based in Washington, D.C.

Hooper listed several other Christian organizations and secular politicians who have attacked Islam since Sept. 11.

"Defamatory attacks on other faiths can only lead to a spiral of distrust and intolerance that will divide our society along religious lines," he said.

Hooper said that every major Islamic group in America quickly condemned the Sept. 11 attacks.

Graham said Thursday that he makes no distinction between the faith of Islam and the policies and practices of countries run by Islamic law.

"My goal is not to fight Muslims, but look at the cases," Graham said. "There is no tolerance under Islam. I've been to Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Lebanon, Iraq, Iran, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Malaysia. Muslims in this country haven't traveled [to Muslim countries] as much as I have. I know."

Franklin became CEO of BGEA in November 2000. While he and his father share the same bedrock Christian faith, Franklin Graham emphasized that he was speaking for himself, not for his father or the BGEA.

This is not the first time Franklin has publicly condemned Islam. Last fall, he called Islam evil, and decried the conditions in countries ruled by Islamic law.

After U.S. Muslim groups denounced his comments, he issued a clarification at a news conference in Minneapolis. He said he was not talking about the people of the faith.

Hooper said that his organization tried to arrange a meeting with Graham last fall to talk about the Qur'an and Islamic teachings, but Graham did not respond.

Islam was only one subject the younger Graham tackled in the book and during Thursday's interview. He also asserted that:

• The fact that many Americans want to eradicate any reference to Jesus Christ or Christianity from public discussions is proof to him that evil exists in the world. He says that the strength of the opposition is proof to him of the power of the Christian message.

• The world will never lessen the AIDS crisis without Christian teachings of abstinence and tolerance.

• Americans have misread American constitutional mandates of the separation of church and state to mean the exclusion of anything Christian. "In these times it has almost become a requirement for the sophisticated and intelligent to take a swipe at the nearest Christian."

When reminded that throughout history, the Christian church has promoted violence and hatred, particularly toward Jews, he said, "Nowhere in the Bible does it tell you to kill Jews, or fight Jews. [The Inquisition] was evil, wicked men who in the name of Jesus Christ tried to carry out their own evil, wicked desires, but there was no instruction from the Bible whatsoever for this."

On the church-state issue, he said, "There is an element within our society that has dedicated their lives to the destruction of the name of Jesus Christ. They do this under the guise of church and state. Our forefathers never wanted us to eliminate religion. They were Christians who came. They weren't Buddhists, Hindus, Jews or Muslims. They were looking for freedom to worship God, and they ensured religious freedom for everyone who followed them."

Graham said it has become so ingrained in the culture to denigrate Christianity that people no longer notice. "Why is it," he asked, "that when people curse, they use the name of Jesus? When you mention Mohammed in a room everyone says that's nice, but when you mention Jesus it polarizes a room. You can feel the electricity. Jesus has been at the center of the vortex of the storm for 2,000 years."

He called AIDS a "hot button issue with me. Christians have come late to this." However, he says that the world's solution to the health crisis is to teach people about safe sex and condoms. "They want to solve this thing so they can continue to live an immoral life style," he said.

"God gave us sex, but he gave us parameters all around us. When we use sex outside the parameters God gave us, we're at risk. Sex kills." The parameters, he said, are a man and woman in marriage. Nothing else. "The world doesn't want God's standards."

Graham also takes on Gov. Jesse Ventura.

In the book's opening, he mentions the governor's famous quote in Playboy magazine about organized religion being "a sham and a crutch for weak-minded people who need strength in numbers."

(Ventura later said that he believes that only some organized religion fits that description.)

"With so many outstanding credits to his name, why does [Ventura] say that religion is just for the weak-minded?" Graham said. Ventura and others, he said, "who ridicule or demean the Name and His followers must not understand what they are doing and whom they are dealing with. Unfortunately, the fence-sitters and even many who follow the Lord Jesus do not grasp the incredible scope and impact of His life, either."

Arabs in America are a disloyal fifth column.

Just remember that until now majority of Arabs in America are Christians! Many of them are refugees who fled Islamic persecution same way as Armenians or Greeks. Do not confused Saudi Muslim with a Middle Eastern Christian who is a descendent of the first Christians.
