Islam intrinsically violent - convert

ITALIAN editor and critic of Islamic extremism Magdi Allam, who converted to Catholicism from Islam and was baptised by Pope Benedict XVI, today branded his former faith as intrinsically violent. "I had to do this (abandon Islam)", Allam wrote in a long letter to the Italian daily Corriere della Sera.
"Beyond ... the phenomenon of extremists and Islamist terrorism at the global level, the root of evil is inherent to a physiologically violent and historically conflictual Islam," wrote the Egyptian-born journalist, who says he has received death threats and is under police protection.
One of seven adults baptised during an Easter vigil yesterday evening, Allam, 55, is an editorial writer and deputy editor at Corriere.
Regarding a combative tone that has made him famous in Italy, Allam wrote: "Over the years my spirit has been freed from the obscurantism of an ideology that legitimises lies and deception, violent death that leads to homicide and suicide, blind submission to tyranny."
He described Catholicism as "an authentic religion of Truth, Life and Freedom".
By baptising Allam in the public ceremony, the Pope "sent an explicit and revolutionary message to a church that until now has been too cautious in the conversion of Muslims ... because of the fear of being unable to protect the converted who are condemned to death for apostasy," Allam said.
"Thousands of people in Italy have converted to Islam and practise their faith serenely," he wrote. "But there are also thousands of Muslims who have converted to Christianity who are forced to hide their new faith out of fear of being killed by Islamist terrorists." Allam adopted the Christian name of Cristiano (Christian), not a common name in Italy.

Oh wait...AZ Conservative is satire, isn’t it.
Sigh...when you can’t tell the difference between satire and reality, that’s a problem. Sorry about that....

"United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-moon expressed his fear that the posting to the Internet of Dutch politician Geert Wilders Fitnaa film linking Islamist violence with passages from the Koranwould incite retribution. But it's not the murderous and brutal ways of Islam that he's concerned about, it's the internet that he want's to censor and control.

"We must recognize that the real fault lies not with the Muslims, but with those who would place their values ahead of those of other cultures, Ban continued. The Wests failure to yield the right-of-way is responsible for the collision with Islam. The sooner we learn to comply, the safer we will all be. obviosly, Ban thinks we should submit. The man isn't fit to occupy that position as far as I'm concerned. Then again, the Un has been infiltrated by muslims to a large degree, and isn't fit to exist at all.

However, no one ever talks about the Arab colonialism which is very active in every single non-Arab Muslim country.Tell the multiculturalists to put that in their peace pipe and smoke it!

CZB.
The religious war has already started the front lines are now in Europe. The folks in Europe know exactly what is going on. The muslim punks burned a big chunk of the Paris suburbs last year. In other areas of Old Europe murders for honor and family are becoming more widespread every month. There have been several groups busted for sexually mulilating their young girls within the last year too, all of them muslim. These people have no intentions of fitting in or adapting to western civilization. They are determined to bring their 7th century cult crap with them. Islam tells us each and every day that they will impose their cult religion on the world by force. They tell us that we will either convert or we will be murdered.
Am I wrong because I believe that they are going to try and do what they say they are going to do???? I truly believe that it is time to lock and load and find out exactly where every potential enemy lives and attends mosque for their terrorist tutoring and instigation. If you don't remember, there was a story posted a few weeks ago that had footage of many mosques right here in the US preaching the terrorist line. It was 4 out of every 10 mosques they visited and taped were teaching hate and death for non muslims. All this right here at home. We will eventually have to fight, be enslaved or die. I've made my choice.

Although you are right about the U.N., Semmens annoyingly posts made up stuff in quotes as if it were real.

Not suprising that Mohammed would order all apostates to be killed, simply because he followed his “god”, a false god, the DEVIL.
God Bless Mr. Allam and his heroic step to become a Christian. Welcome to the Church, brother Christiano.

Thanks for your comment. Remember this is not just a war we non-Muslims are fighting but a war between Heaven and Hell, between the God of the Holy Bible and the false god of the Koran, the ENEMY. But I know the former will bring a certain victory over the later.

Mr. Allam is the symbol of those Muslims, 6 million in all, who leave Islam each year, often to embrace the Christian faith.

Then again, the Un has been infiltrated by muslims to a large degree, and isn't fit to exist at all. In other news, the sun rose in the west this morning and is expected to set in the east....
The UN is not a friend to the USA and it is well past time for us to sever all ties with it.
Another obvious statement

Obvious, yes...but somehow hearing it from someone who was on the inside, so to speak, gives it even more veracity. Between this and Fitna, Allah is having a bad month.
