An example of what is happening in the rest of the world, giving in to Muslim customs. Think what those Arab countries would be like if they had not the good fortune of sitting on all that oil! They would still be in tents, roaming the desert killing each other.

There must have been a very good reason that my ancestor left Holland in 1659 and settled in Brooklyn, Nieuw Amsterdam.

Laura Ingraham was a repeat this morning but I caught part of an interview with some figure from an American muslim organization (not CAIR).

There were a couple of guests and they were debating the meaning of different passages of the koran. And one that came up was the submission of the “people of the book” the the muslim masters and paying additional taxes. The flunky was trying to say that another passage about no religious requirement (not the right word) negating it but he DID concede that in a muslim majority nation the non-muslims were required by Islamic law to submit.

And it doesn’t just have to be historically muslim nations, he also included Indonesia as an example of a muslim nation that is tolerant of other faiths.

Ultimately it is an imperialist theocracy. It lays claim to land and is reluctant to surrender any territories to other ideologies. It is discriminatory. If the West applied the same tactics to Islam that Islamic nations apply to other religions (restrict or prohibit the practice) all Imam agree that would be a trigger for jihad in those nations.

You realize that there are still some old Dutch churches left. Many descendants of Dutch colonists were farming in southern Brooklyn through the 1940s:
