New Ways of Responding to Extremist Islam
Gatestone Institute. ^ | April 10, 2017 | Guile Meotti

Ronald Reagan's major achievement in his long war against the Soviet Union: presenting communism as a joke -- exposing the lies of the Soviet regime, exposing the misery under which its people were living, and explaining why Western values were preferable to Communist ones. This is exactly what the West, Hirsi Ali explains, should be doing with radical Islam.

Western civilization is a humanist vision in which Christianity integrated Jewish wisdom, Greek philosophy and Roman law, thereby giving Western culture its distinctive character: freedom of speech and of the press, equal justice under law, the primacy of the individual, separation of religion and state, freedom of religion and from religion, property rights, sexual equality, an independent judiciary, and independent education, among other values. This is what radical Islam wants to destroy. That is why terrorists are attacking our churches, the State of Israel and why they are subverting democracy to turn it into Islamic law, sharia.

...

Jihad is spreading violence -- and succeeding. "Of the last sixteen years," notes Ayaan Hirsi Ali in her new book, The Challenge of Dawa, "the worst year for terrorism was 2014, with ninety-three countries experiencing attacks and 32,765 people killed."

"The second worst was 2015, with 29,376 deaths. Last year, four radical Islamic groups were responsible for 74 percent of all deaths from terrorism: the Islamic State (also known as ISIS), Boko Haram, the Taliban, and al-Qaeda.

...

According to Hirsi Ali, the West is "obsessed" with terror and this makes it blind to the broader threat, dawa, outreach: the ideology behind the terror attacks.

...

The Islamic world is investing in "dawa", or Islamic propaganda. "Since the early 1970s, Middle Eastern charities have distributed $110 billion,

Read the Koran.

There is no radical Islam.

Best way to humiliate these animals is to use humor on them.
Ridicule is a powerful weapon.

President Reagan had a simple way of dealing with Islamonazis:

Syria has been a PIA for decades!

U.S. BATTLESHIP POUNDS HILLS HELD BY SYRIANS IN LEBANON; BRITAIN; PULLING OUT TROOPS

The Druse leader threatened retaliation against American civilians in Lebanon if the Navy continued shelling Druse villages.

BEIRUT, Lebanon, Feb. 8 - The United States battleship New Jersey bombarded Druse and Syrian gun batteries in Lebanon for more than nine hours today in the heaviest and most sustained American military action since the marines arrived here 16 months ago.

The gunfire was directed at targets ‘’in Syrian-controlled Lebanon which have been firing on the city of Beirut,’’ a Marine spokesman, Maj. Dennis Brooks, said. The shells fired into the capital had landed in Christian-dominated East Beirut, several miles from the Marine compound at Beirut International Airport.

In Washington, the Pentagon said the destroyer Caron joined in the bombardment, firing more than 300 five-inch shells. It said the New Jersey fired more than 250 16-inch shells.
According to the Lebanese Christian Phalangist radio, the American bombardment pounded artillery and missile batteries from Shuweifat, just south of Beirut, all the way to around Shtaura, 22 miles east of the capital. The radio said 30 Druse and Syrian gun batteries had been knocked out along with a Druse military command post.

Why do Mozlems use their hands instead of toilet paper?

Because Islamic toilet paper GIVES you sh*t, and then blames you for the mess!

What is the difference between Sharia and Diarrhea ?

Sharia comes out of a much bigger A**hole.

President Regan used humor, good intel and actions that destroyed the USSR’s economy and power in our world.

The truth of Jesus is the only real weapon to change the hearts and minds of sinful men. Bibles, not bullets, is the only way to make lasting change in humanity’s heart. If Islam were wiped out, something else just as heinous is already there to take its place (materialistic atheism, for example). The pride and heart of man is rebellious against God. Christians are going to have to stand up to terrible persecution, which is already going on in Islamic countries (as it always has) - but the Love and Truth of God prevails.

I fully agree.
The first way to face up to Islam is to stop this excuse making of calling it's practitioners extreme or radial.
It is fundamental Islam that is the problem for us non- Muslims. ( Kafirs, Infidels)

Following your religion the way Allah and Muhammad want it done does not make you an extremist or a radical or a hijacker of the religion.

It is the fundamentals of Islam itself , subjugate, convert or kill all the non-believers that is the ideology that is extreme by non- Muslim standards.
Believers in Islam are just doing what their God and Muhammad want done to get an eternal reward with Allah.

Keep Muslims out of your country because you never know when a Muslim will realize that getting temporary worldly rewards pales by comparison to eternal rewards with Allah, and goes on a killing spree against us Kafirs. - Tom Muhammad -Tayimaya- Wahhab - bin Laden- Isis IMHO have the right approach to Islam.

The rest of the so-called Muslims are sitting on the sidelines like the heretics and cafeteria Muslims they are.
Many of these Muslim heretics are trying to twist and distort Islam to accommodate their modern beliefs for a more peaceful atmosphere.
The Fundamental Muslims will kill them also when they are no longer useful to provide ghettos in Infidel countries for the fundamentalists to operate out of. -Tom
