Too Much Of A Good Thing

One of the unofficial mottos of the United States, this phrase-which is minted on this country’s coins and emblazoned upon our paper bills-embodies the common heritage of the American nation, which was created from the union of thirteen distinct, unique former British colonies. Over the course of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, it came to symbolize the melting pot forged from a collection of people who came to the United States from various European nations in order to reconstitute their lives.

It is a concept that, like many of its inhabitants, has become alien to contemporary America. We now live in a country comprised from a polyglot agglomeration of foreign tribes, individuals and extended families, many of whom would be unable to assimilate to American culture even if a coherent one still existed and they were encouraged to do so, both dubious propositions.

One of the most persistent questions raised by the September 11th attacks, and recurring periodically since, e.g. during the debate over the construction of Park 51, the debacle that the trial of Ft. Hood jihadist Nidal Malik Hasan has occasioned, and other terrorist attacks conceived by native or naturalized American citizens, has revolved around whether Islam as it’s practiced today can be reconciled with traditional American values embodied in documents like the United States Constitution.

Once again, for those who have not read the Koran:
1. Islam is antithetical to America.
2. Islam is irreconcilable with America.

Islam is serious about “Convert, enslave, or kill ALL unbelievers.

Honor the Muslim threat - that means kill them first.

Kill all of them or they will do it to us.

PS Forget “Moderate Islam” as you should forget El Presidente Jorge Boosh’s infamous “Islam is a religion of peace.”

Whenever I think about Islamists trying to show that they are not all violent (notice I didn’t say Muslims, I am talking about the fanatics), I think about Bridges TV. It was started to ‘help non-Muslims overcome the negative images they may have of both Muslims and Islam’. The TV station was staarted by a husband and wife. The wife, Aasiya Zubair, had filed for divorce and been granted an Order of Protection which forced the husband, Muzzammil Hassan, out of the home. He then beheaded her. He was only charged with second degree murder as the beheading did not satisfy the requirements for first degree murder in New York State.

Islam cannot be reconciled with civilization.

Obama has fixed it up so we are supporting our enemies. In a sense, we are already the slaves of the Muslims. His fondest wish.

I know why more Americans are not aware of what is happening: it is too terrible to acknowledge.

[Jacquerie]

American and muslim are mutually exclusive.

Islam is a barbaric social and political system in religious drag.

The rotten fruit of the Arab Spring, like that from the most recent war in Iraq, is being brought to our shores, so this is as good a time as any to begin having a conversation about what we want our country’s future to look like. Like Frank Gaffney, I believe it’s time to discontinue the diversity lottery, stop issuing visas to imams for whom there is no demand, and begin to look out for the interests of Americans, first and foremost.

I absolutely agree! It's nice to know that there are some Republicans who are at least discussing this. It's a start.

Well-written piece, BTW.

Every “moderate” Muslim is a potential terrorist. The belief in Islam is like a tank of gasoline. It looks innocuous, until it meets the fire. For a “moderate” Muslim to become a murderous jihadist, all it takes is a spark of faith.

It is time to put an end to the charade of “moderate Islam.” There is no such thing as a moderate Muslim. Muslims are either jihadists or dormant jihadists – moderate, they are not.

Thanks OddLane.

[OddLane]

No problem.

[Darksheare]

Can’t beleieve how many people cannot connect “Strike off the heads, strike off the hands of the infidel” with “Islam is NOT a religion of peace.”

[OddLane]

Seems pretty simple to me.
