Islam NEEDS a Martin Luther to nail some reformation theses to the entrance of the Grand Mosque.

If one did, he would be immediately beheaded though.

It's very sad that there are no reform-minded Islamic theologians of any note in the world.

"Heavier metals than lead are what's needed."

Yup. Sounds like radiation treatment will be necessary.

The destruction of all non believers(mostly light skinned people) is the goal.They are more cruel to their own than anyone else ever thought about being. Its a culture that places no real value on human life. Now just what do they expect us to do when they murder 3,000 of our citizens?

A few choice quotes on the subject of htis hate-filled, murderous culture of Islam:

The Islamic conquest of India is probably the bloodiest story in history. It is a discouraging tale, for its evident moral is that civilization is a precious good, whose delicate complex order and freedom can at any moment be overthrown by barbarians invading from without and multiplying from within.
--Will Durant, The Story of Civilization

Islam destroyed India. There is this ill-informed idea that it was the British, in the short time that they were there, that ruined and defaced all those temples you see. The bitter fact is that the people of India were ill-equipped to face the organised military power of Islam and were destroyed by it. The intellectual life of India, the Sanskrit culture, stops at 1000AD. Islam was the greatest calamity that befell it. Now people think only the Muslims built anything but what they brought was a slave culture that lasted in some parts of India until almost the other day. To be a Muslim you have to destroy your history, to stamp on your ancestral culture. The sands of Arabia is all that matters. This abolition of the self is worse than the colonial abolition, much worse.

-- VS Naipaul (Nobel Prize, Literature, 2001)

I’ve been aware of madness in the Islamic world. I’ve written about it. The madness of people who have fallen behind technically, and who do not have the will to make the intellectual effort to catch up. I was aware of the religious hatred, I was aware of the indifference to life. I was aware of the anti-civilization aspect of the new fundamentalism. But I had no idea it had gone so far — the madness. The idea of their strength is an illusion. Nothing is coming from within. The terrorists can fly a plane, but what they can’t do is build a plane. What they can’t do is build those towers. I think people have spoken much rubbish about that event. The poor revenging themselves on the rich! It’s nothing but an aspect of religious hatred. And that is so hard to deal with, or even contemplate. You can deal with the poor striking out, but you can’t deal with the threat of a universal religious war.” Though he approved of the recent war in Afghanistan, he is keenly aware of the inherent absurdity of the current war on terrorism: “Your biggest enemy is your great ally — Saudi Arabia — and the foot-soldiers of the terror come from your other ally — Pakistan.”

Real soon, somebody is going to show up here and tell us how "nice" their muslim neighbors are, and how they would never hurt anybody and how they really love America.

As much as I respect W, he's been spouting similar statements about "Islam is peace." Those kind of statements really twists my shorts.

Good post TLB. This one combined with Conservatives Dispute Bush Portrayal of Islam as Peaceful give me hope that the tide is turning and pretty soon the air freshener won't cover the smell of the rotten eggs any more.

Bttt..

Now that the Pope says its a Holy War Bush may too. It is a Holy war. Islam wants to kill every Christian and Jewish person.

Some things just can't be fixed. They have to be thrown out.

It's always good to have an open mind and not believe everything that everyone else believes. Even borderline tinfoil things might end up being proved true.

That said, how about a web site or publication that would expose the obvious lies and discredit those who spread them?

For instance, I remember the Egyptian imam or whatever from New York. He went back to Egypt shortly after 9/11, claiming that he and other Muslims no longer felt safe here, and that he specifically had felt threatened. He also said no Jews in the WTC. After going back to Egypt, he held interviews in which he talked about this.

So, someone puts up a website designed specifically to discredit his claims, and hopefully discredit him to prevent future lies.

All the better to stab you in the back my dear, said the wolf to little Red Ridinghood.

First Iraq (Saddam) will go down. Payments to suiciders in Palestine will stop immediately.

Then the Iranian mullah "government" will go away, through the internal uprising of Persian (not Arab) believers in democracy and freedom.

With Iraq and Iran in destabilized mode, but leaning toward democracy, the Saudis will get some "tough love" on the topic of supporting terrorists in "Palestine" and madrassas in Pakistan. Musharref will also get a stern talking-to on the issue of Kashmir.

There are plenty of nutcase Islamists who have accidentally stumbled upon the truth: the removal of Saddam will destabilize the entire Middle East. They are correct, but too stupid to see that the outcome also means an end to Saudi $$$ and very quickly to their utter destruction.

That is the problem with Islam and liberalism isn't it. If one dare have an orignal thought, outside the doctrine, if one raises his head to ask why or demand logic or reason, (chop*).

Liberalism and Islam are bosom buddies, the only difference being liberalism uses government to force it's doctrine. Islam uses government and the sword. I suspect liberalism wishes it could use the sword. So far it's clumsy in a Constitutional republic, Waco, Ruby Ridge, Elian. Maybe that's why all their attacks on the second amendment, maybe that's why every little podunk agency of the government from the EPA, to tyre kickers wants it's own branch of armed enforcement.

If there is any useful thing about Islam, it is that it stands as the defining depravity by which all other depravity can be measured against. Pretty interesting which group pop's up right beside it when compared.

The "someone" who puts up such a site would be labeled as a "stinking lying Jew" within days. Any denials would "prove" he's a liar. Everything on the site would then be ignored.

Besides, most muslims live in muslim hellholes. It would be hard to see that website from a corrugated metal hut in afghanistan.

Islam’s Insanity (Total insanity exists among the Muslim scholars and the whole of Islam )

This is news?
One need only look at the conditions in any country even with just a region where
Muslims run the show (e.g., the recent fun in northern Nigeria and The Ivory Coast).

But of course, you could have read about the "rebels" in The Ivory Coast for WEEKS
and never been informed that these were ISLAMICS who were on the war-path.

I don't know why, but the media...just....can't...bring...themselves
to just say "Muslims on the warpath again for no rational reason!"

At some point, I feel that if we don't start telling Muslims to stay out of
the USA, we should at least exile some of our journalists to places
like Yemen, northern Nigeria...and let them report back to us about how much they like
Islam in a year or so.

If they aren't executed under Shari'a Law for something like drug use, drinking
alcohol, having sex with someone they aren't married to or being gay.
