Loretta Sanchez: Five to 20 percent of Muslims ‘have a desire for a caliphate’
The Sacramento Bee ^ | December 10th, 2015 | By Christopher Cadelago

Posted on 12/11/2015 10:06:52 AM PST by Mariner

California Democratic Rep. Loretta Sanchez, a candidate for the U.S. Senate, said as many as 20 percent of Muslims desire to form an Islamic caliphate, “to institute that in any way possible,” and go after Western norms, “our way of life.”

“We know that there is a small group, and we don’t know how big that is – it can be anywhere between 5 and 20 percent, from the people that I speak to – that Islam is their religion and who have a desire for a caliphate and to institute that in any way possible, and in particular go after Western norms,” Sanchez said on the program “PoliticKING with Larry King.”

“They are not content enough to have their way of looking at the world, they want to put their way on everybody in the world,” she added. “And again, I don’t know how big that is, and depending on who you talk to, but they are certainly, they are willing to go to extremes. They are willing to use and they do use terrorism.”

Islam is the world’s second-largest religion with an estimated 1.6 billion adherents, or 23 percent of the world’s population, according to the Pew Research Center. Taking Sanchez’s high estimate, that would be 320 million Muslims want to caliphate and are willing to resort to extremes and terrorism to satisfy their goal. Academics said the number is exceedingly difficult to know because there are no worldwide surveys but they questioned the range she provided as overly broad and likely too high.

This is the woman who cheated B-1 Bob out of his seat.

She's in the Dem Senate primary in CA.

There's a LOT of room for a Dim to "run to the middle" in a CA Senate race.

But, it's telling in that her primary establishment support is the Latino Lobby...and they may not like Jihadis.

Per liblogic 101: since 5-20% of moose-limbs want a caliphate no matter what it takes to achieve it, people in the U.S. should not be allowed to possess multi automatic round shoulder goes up thingys. Or something.

It’s substantially higher than 20% IMHO. Most are in the “biding their time” phase however...awaiting the time they foresee Muslims making up a larger percentage of the population.

How we can protect our families? Keep ISIS and Obama's Syrians out of America, now.

If that fails:

There are about 3,000,000 (3M) Muslims in the U.S. Many hundreds of thousands of them completely reject America, its freedom and many want to kill you for them.

Here are their opinions:

Sharia in America: "51% of U.S. Muslims (1.5M) ... polled believe ... that they should have the choice of American or Sharia courts" (1)

Reject U.S. Law: 61%. Only "39% of (U.S. Muslims, ~1.2M) said that Muslims in the U.S. should be subject to American courts." (1) That means the other 61% (~1.8M) of U.S. Muslims believe they should not be subject to American courts.

Sharia Superiority: 33% of U.S. Muslims (~1M) believe that "If Sharia conflicts with the U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights", then Sharia "should be considered supreme." (1)

Violence against First Amendment Rights: 29% (~900,000) U.S. Muslims agree that "violence against those who insult the prophet mohammed, the quran, or the Islamic faith is sometimes acceptable." (1)

Sharia by Jihad: 11% of U.S. Muslims (~330,000) believe that Sharia is "The Muslims god allah's Law that Muslims must follow and impose world-wide via Jihad" (1)

(1) https://www.centerforsecuritypolicy.org/2015/06/23/nationwide-poll-of-us-muslims-shows-thousands-support-shariah-jihad/

Keep in mind that the bias of respondents should be to shade their answers to be more acceptable to other Americans, lest they become the targets of legal investigation for their subversive opinions. Therefore, the results above should be considered the bare minimum, and the real opinion of American muslims is likely worse than shown.

Real math not new math or core math.

How many innocent and unexpecting French citizens were killed by only 8 murdering Jihadists in Paris?

How many innocents Americans were slaughtered or wounded this week by only 2 Isis Jihadists in San Bernadino?

Hmm, a filthy, squalid barrio vs. a medieval caliphate. What a great choice America has. I suppose it hasn't occurred to the establishment that the best choice is neither.

The future must not belong to those who deny the true nature of Islam

John Quincy Adams on Islam

In the seventh century of the Christian era, a wandering Arab of the lineage of Hagar, the Egyptian, combining the powers of transcendent genius, with the preternatural energy of a fanatic, and the fraudulent spirit of an impostor, proclaimed himself as a messenger from Heaven, and spread desolation and delusion over an extensive portion of the earth. Adopting from the sublime conception of the Mosaic law, the doctrine of one omnipotent God; he connected indissolubly with it, the audacious falsehood, that he was himself his prophet and apostle. Adopting from the new Revelation of Jesus, the faith and hope of immortal life, and of future retribution, he humbled it to the dust, by adapting all the rewards and sanctions of his religion to the gratification of the sexual passion. He poisoned the sources of human felicity at the fountain, by degrading the condition of the female sex, and the allowance of polygamy; and he declared undistinguishing and exterminating war, as a part of his religion, against all the rest of mankind. THE ESSENCE OF HIS DOCTRINE WAS VIOLENCE AND LUST: TO EXALT THE BRUTAL OVER THE SPIRITUAL PART OF HUMAN NATURE.

Between these two religions, thus contrasted in their characters, a war of twelve hundred years has already raged. That war is yet flagrant; nor can it cease but by the extinction of that imposture, which has been permitted by Providence to prolong the degeneracy of man. While the merciless and dissolute dogmas of the false prophet shall furnish motives to human action, there can never be peace upon earth, and good will towards men. The hand of Ishmael will be against every man, and every man’s hand against him. It is, indeed, amongst the mysterious dealings of God, that this delusion should have been suffered for so many ages, and during so many generations of human kind, to prevail over the doctrines of the meek and peaceful and benevolent Jesus (Blunt, 1830, 29:269, capitals in orig.).

Kalifornicate will replace a whacked out communist liberal female senator with another whacked out communist liberal female to take her place. Sanchez may speak truth now but wait until she becomes a senator.

“This is the woman who cheated B-1 Bob out of his seat. “

With the collaboration of the GOPe, who refused to challenge the election and left Dornan out to dry.

In a way it was poetic justice on Dornan who up until that time had brushed off all complaints about the tidal wave of illegals that was transforming Orange County.
