Hoax. Great quote though...

Hoax Slayer - the publication that dedicates its efforts to unmasking such hoaxes and other online threats - reveals that this is nothing more than a revamped version of an older scam which involved other Australian Prime Ministers.

In addition, part of the message represents the words of Barry Loudermilk, a US Air Force veteran and columnist. The article he wrote expressed his personal views on patriotism and immigration after the 9/11 incident and was meant for an American audience.

Somebody needs to educate Oprah on the Greater and Lesser Bullshits.

Oprah has a responsibility not to be a tool, not to be a stooge.

When did Oprah ever take on that sort of responsibility?

Dan Rather did not have to. Charlie Rose did not have to. Katie Couric did not have to. Why should Oprah have to?

If jihad is misunderstood someone ought to have clued in Mohammad to this fact.

I learned all I needed to know about "Jihad" on 9-11-01!

"Religion of Peace," indeed!

Islam is an EVIL DEATH CULT!

ALL CIVILIZATIONS ARE AT RISK OF EXTERMINATION AS LONG AS THE TRUTH ABOUT ISLAM IS DENIED AND JIHADISTS ARE ALLOWED TO LIVE!

WAKE UP WORLD!

And preserving Freedom requires books full of laws, TSA searches, sending troops to civil wars.

Up is down. War is Peace.

And we have always been at war with EastAsia.

Islam WAS NEVER PEACEFUL since it's inception...

"After Muhammad died, the people who lived with him and knew his religion best immediately fell into war with each other.

Fatima, Muhammad's favorite daughter, survived the early years among the unbelievers at Mecca safe and sound, yet died of stress from the persecution of fellow Muslims only six months after her father died. She even miscarried Muhammad's grandchild after having her ribs broken by the man who became the second caliph.

Fatima's husband Ali, who was the second convert to Islam and was raised like a son to Muhammad, fought a civil war against an army raised by Aisha, Muhammad's favorite wife – and one whom he had said was a "perfect woman." 10,000 Muslims were killed in a single battle waged less than 25 years after Muhammad's death.

Three of the first four Muslim rulers (caliphs) were murdered. All of them were among Muhammad's closest companions.

The third caliph was killed by allies of the son of the first (who was murdered by the fifth caliph a few years later, then wrapped in the skin of a dead donkey and burned).

The fourth caliph (Ali) was stabbed to death after a bitter dispute with the fifth.

The fifth caliph went on to poison one of Muhammad’s two favorite grandsons. The other grandson was later beheaded by the sixth caliph.

Infighting and power struggles between Muhammad's family members, closest companions and their children only intensified with time.

Within 50 short years of Muhammad's death, even the Kaaba, which had stood for centuries under pagan religion, lay in ruins from internal Muslim war.

And that's just the fate of those within the house of Islam!"

We don’t “misunderstand” anything about jihad!

We only need to recognize the motivations of the terrorists.

Does this supposed moderate believe we’re supposed to ignore those motivations?

If there is a distinction to be made it would be between Islam and ISLAMISTS.

We are at war with the ISLAMISTS!!!!

Oprah doesn’t want the truth, she’s just helping her NWO bosses push their New Age agenda of universalism.

If “jihad” is misunderstood, then it is mainly misunderstood by 90% of the world’s Muslims.

There actually is a hadith in which in retreat from some lost battle Mohammed calls upon his followers to devote themselves to repentance and internal spiritual struggle, saying something to the effect that they are leaving the “lesser jihad” for the “greater jihad”. The problem is, essentially every fiqh (school of Islamic jurisprudence) regards this hadith a unreliable and discounts the sentiment expressed in it.
