CAIR and the other Wahhabi Lobby groups will flat out deny this....

Much like the terrorism reports about Saudi Arabia's complicity erased from the record in order
to protect them...

IMO-Our own Govt. protects them...and their interests over our national security...

We encourage Islam to take over America...they use oil against us..

We pay them to build Mosques and Islamic centers accross our land....we wont allow prayer in public schools but will turn these same schools into Mosques in the interest of
DIVERSITY

Thanks for checking in on this thread. Read "Dhimmi" by Bat Ye'or if you have the time and want to learn more about being oppressed in Islamic nations. http://www.dhimmi.org/

In one Islamic region Christians had to wear pig badges because they eat pork. Jews had to wear an ape badge.

Well, there goes Spain.

>>>>>>According to Islamic thinking, once a region has been conquered for Islam, it is always Islamic and must be re-conquered from the infidel, regardless of the passage of time>>>>>>>>

That exactly happened in Bosnia and Kosovo with American help. Clintorn administation armed Muslims, provided logistical and diplomatic support and bombed Serbs into the stone age and killing thousands of civilians.

Army, USN and USAF were delivery boys for the Saudis. Muslims paid back America handsomely.

Wise learn from others, stupid ones try everything by themselves.

Hundreds of millions experienced firsthand The Religion of Peace (TM). Serbs experienced it for 500 years, two times longer than U.S.A. exists.

But it was not enough for U.S of A. America is experiencing it on her own today.

On the mark, man.

I am p*ssed off to the nth degree, where n>m and m is any integer.

BTW, their f**king oil was (1) discovered by Western companies and (2) developed by Western companies with a deal struck for running them, which was reneged upon by the Saudi clown princes. If it wasn't for the West, they would still be herding goats and riding camels. This mindset is a direct result of a fundamentally dysfunctional religion and culture.

We thus have every right to invade this chicken @## so called country, whose inhabitants are incapable of sustaining themselves, and TAKE OVER the oil fields.Upon resistance from any of the 30,000 clown princes or their sycophants, kill every single one of them. Never again 9/11. Never again. Never again! Disregard the usual rules of war when dealing with these primitive savages. Annihilate them so thoroughly that for the next 100 years they will hide in caves and holes in the ground from fear.

Concerning the 5th column mosques in the US, demolish them all and put all the wahhabis on barges and send them to sea.

Moderate Islam is for dilettants, indeed.

This from a Freeper: MYTHS TO BEQUEATH On the Inhabitants of the Middle East

200 years from now, I want their children's children's children's children to cower and cringe in fear whenever they hear the sounds of jet engines overhead because their legends tell of fire from the sky. I want them to hide in dark caves and holes in the earth, shivering with terror whenever they hear the roar of diesel engines because the tales of their ancestors talk about metal monsters crawling over the earth, spitting death and destruction.

I want their mothers to be able to admonish them with "If you don't behave, the Pale Destroyers will come for you", and that will be enough to reduce them to quivering obesience.

I want the annihilation to be so complete that their mythology will tell them of the day of judgment when the stern gods from across the sea .. the powerful 'Mericans .. destroyed their forefathers' wickedness.

This essay only scratches the surface.

Among the charactistics of dhimmitude is a total lack of the rights of citizen; dhimmi are not permitted jobs within the civil service, their children cannot attend college, they are not permitted on juries and the legal weight of their testimony in court is no better (and sometimes considerably less) than that of Islamic women. Almost invariably they cannot vote -- a rather pointless loss since no dhimmis could be candidates -- if they are permitted in the army they remain privates forever, and they are not permitted passports. A dhimmi in any sort of business cannot be boss of Moslems, only of other dhimmi. In most Islamic countries they are not permitted to own land or even have bank accounts.

As for religious rights, in Saudi Arabia (and presumably elsewhere in the Moslem world), although dhimmi are allowed to have their own (unfunded and unequipped) schools, they are required to use government-issued textbooks that explicitly and repeatedly teach the supremacy of Islam and the defects of Christianity and Judaism (Christians and Jews are virtually the only dhimmi communities -- Hindus, Buddhists, Zoroastrians, Bahai, etc. are regarded as idol worshippers and are entitled to even less, frequently being constantly and even violently oppressed). In Saudi Arabia, Christians cannot even be buried within Saudi Arabia, their remains must be shipped out of the country.

The churches and synagogues permitted must be un-advertised on the outside - no crosses or stained glass must be visible to people on the street nor may the prayers, sermon or choir be audible outside the walls. The building must be small - smaller than a mosque and subsequent expansion, even because of a growing congregation, is strenuously discouraged. For this reason churches built in what is now Israel (or Palestine) under the Moslem Empire (such as the Church of the Nativity), actually go immediately down to a basement level - the only way to fit a pulpit and other furnishings without a tall roof. Frequently mosques or other Moslem buildings are built right next to churches, sometimes utilizing the church's walls, and sometimes such Moslem buildings are built on both sides of the church -- to assure that the church will never be able to expand.

Among other restrictions is that the dhimmi communities are forbidden to complain about their situation, even to their co-religionists in other countries, so you don't hear about Arabic Christians asking the European countries to intercede for them or otherwise help. Church services are attended by secret (and sometimes not-so-secret) police to assure that the sermons don't criticize the order of things -- nor even suggest that the Church's teachings are superior (or even equal) to those of Islam. About the only time that Church services become visible to outside world is on a very few major holidays - probably only Christmas and Easter - and only in cities of interest to foreign Christians, such as Bethlehem; otherwise the Churches are not to do anything in public. And, throughout the Moslem world, the death penalty for anyone who tries to convert a Moslem to Christianity, or even engage in a serious discussion about the strengths and weaknesses of Moslem superstition. Altho Moslem men may marry dhimmi wives - but not the other way around - these wives have more personal religious rights if they DON'T convert to their husband's religion; as long as the wives remain Christian or Jewish they are permitted a lack of enthusiasm for Islam but once they convert they are no longer allowed to express any doubts or disagreement with Islamic doctrines.

About six years ago, when the Israelis turned Bethlehem over to the PLO, Arafat immediately re-imposed dhimmitude on the Christians there - instantly firing dozens of them from civil service or management jobs. The Christians (virtually all of them Arabic) staged a protest march, which was called "the Christian Intifada" - and PLO police fired into the crowd!

That exactly happened in Bosnia and Kosovo with American help.

This is also why the Jihad against against the Jews of Israel will never end. Muslims are driven crazy that Jews rule a territory that was once ruled by Islam. The doctrine of Jihad states that this land must be taken back.

One day this will all be decided by a war. When the dust settles either Israel or Mecca will exist, not both.

I read The Dhimmi and several others of Bat Ye'or's works. The record of Islam as rulers is abysmal, and most people don't have a clue. The myths of the tolerant Arab civilization are just that: myths. The actual accomplishments of Islamic 'civilization' are trivial: all of the great advances attributed to the Arab world were the accomplishments of the peoples they conquered.

Islam is a blight on the world.

The Muslims considered all areas controlled by Islam as the dar al-Islam, or the "territory of Islam," while all areas controlled by infidels were known as the dar al-harb, or the "abode of war."

This is most often translated the House of Peace and the house of War. So when Islam is called the religion of Peace, you can better understand their use of the term. It is the religion of domination and slavery. When you are a slave in chains, then, you have peace. Until then, you are nothing but a target.

Often, greedy rulers required them to pay an avania, or protection money. This was simply a sum of money extorted from the Jewish or Christian communities, under the threat of persecution. This practice of having to pay for their own protection soon became the norm for dhimmi communities in Muslim lands.

You do not have to look far back in history to see this in action. In the town of Bethlehem, which was given to Arafat in the Oslo Accords, (in the name of peace) The Syrian Orthodox Christian Church was given $20,000 dollars by a Church in England to build a school house. Arafat’s thugs demanded $15,000 of it for protection taxes. When the architect refused, he was machine gunned down on his front porch after a church meeting, (along with a few other parishioners) and then rammed with the gunman’s car. When the Christians standing there ran after the gunman, who they all recognized as a local "youth" in the local UN camp, they were driven off by Palestinian Police gunfire. Not a one of the FOURTY eye witnesses were allowed to testify in court as they were all dhimmi's and were not allowed to testify against a Moslem. The thug walked...

To this day I wonder why Clintoon and the Democraps ever thought that forcing a Christian city to be given over to the Islamic Arabs had anything to do with peace. Bethlehem, which was 80% Christian, is now less than 20%, and they were not bought out by the Moslems.

You are a scholar and a gentleman. Am reading her book now, published 1980 in France. Revised English edition 1985. She was so far ahead of her time. One chapter of her book is "Jihad and Dhimma: Modern Formulations". If you don't know that the war against Israel is a Jihad to make these Jews dhimmis once more (or kill them), then you know nothing

The record of Islam as rulers is abysmal, and most people don't have a clue. The myths of the tolerant Arab civilization are just that: myths.

The Muslims were parasitical. They taxed the Jews to death and made sure their existence was one of humiliation. There were some bright spots but this was Jewish life in the Muslim Arab world.

Islamics are very hung up on humiliation. Being dissed. They make very sure they humiliate those they get an opportunity to lord over. One way they get their rocks off.

It was common for the dhimmi to be struck on the head or on the nape of the neck as he paid the tax to demonstrate the superiority of Islam.
