From the movie 300. Messenger: All that God-King Xerxes requires is this: a simple offering of earth and water. A token of Sparta’s submission to the will of Xerxes.
King Leonidas: Submission? Well that’s a bit of a problem.
islam 2012: All that islam requires is this: control of plant earth. A token of America’s submission to the will of allah. Freedom loving Americans: Submission? Well that’s a bit of a problem. America and Israel are today’s SPARTA!
Islam literally means “submission” and I will NOT submit!
“A token of Sparta’s submission to the will of Xerxes.”
Demands always start out small and “reasonable”, then incrementalism takes over. The first Federal income tax in 1913 was “only” 1%.
