Is ‘Islam’ at war with us?

Last week, John Brennan, the assistant to the President for homeland security and counterterrorism approvingly recalled a key point in the speech Mr. Obama delivered in Cairo in June: "America is not and never will be at war with Islam." Unfortunately, that statement ignores the fact that the decision as to whether the United States is at war with anybody is not entirely up to our leadership or people. The real question is: Is 'Islam' at war with us?

It is certainly true that hundreds of millions of Muslims the world over are not seeking to wage war against the United States, or other non-Muslim states. America has, as Mr. Brennan noted in his remarks before the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) on Thursday, a powerful interest in not making all those who practice Islam into our enemies.

Yet, it would be a grave mistake to construe the problem we face as John Brennan proceeded to do in his speech at CSIS: "We are at war with al Qaeda which attacked us on 9/11 and killed 3,000 people. We are at war with its violent extremist allies who seek to carry on al-Qaida's murderous agenda." He described that agenda as seeking "to replace sovereign nations with a global caliphate."

Islam has been in perpetual war with every unconquered society, and internally with itself, since it's creation. Mohamed didn't ride around asking people to submit/convert and it's never stopped.

5% of Islam is at war with us, another 5% are at war with those militants and the other 90% don’t claim to be involved.

In other words the score is 95 to 5.

Osama has made it quite clear over and over again that Islam’s war is with the infidels. (any one who is not a muslim), which puts us up at the top of the list!

"don’t claim to be involved."

That's right. They DON'T CLAIM TO. The fact is, anywhere Islam is practiced, ANYWHERE, there is terrorism. There are 2.0 Billion to 2.5 Billion Muslims in the world. 5% of this population equals 125 Million Terrorists. Do you think there should be concern about 125 Million Terrorists in the World?

Any collective that is against the individual persuing his own happiness, impeding his freedom or destroying his life is destructive. Islam is the greatest destructive collective in the history of civilization.

Arab oil money and chicom money bought the last election. Who doesn’t take Arab cash after they have been elected to congress? Our govt is so corrupt, it can’t be saved from itself.

I if Muslims don't have any of their usual selected adversaries available to kill they will kill other Muslims.

I like for some one to prove to me the Islam is other than a mental illness turned into a religion.

Islam makes it pretty clear that everyone should be Islamic. While there may be some words of tolerance in there, the radical Muslims take a more "you're either with us or against us" attitude. By their definition, if you're not Muslim, maybe not even their kind of Muslim, then yes, they are at war with you - convert or die.

Trouble is, I think Islam is going to have to take a back seat to obama. obama has done more to hurt this Country in just a few months than all the 9/11 plotters combined.
