Stop Apologising to Islam

We Americans need to get our priorities straight. We are at war with Islam.  I want President Bush, Secretary Rice, the media, and the bleeding-heart liberals to stop apologizing to Islam and I want it to stop right now.  Islamists are slaughtering people all over the world.  Islam has threatened to make our streets “run red with American blood.”  A Saudi Islamic cleric gave bin Laden permission to detonate a nuke in a major American city.  Enough already!  

 
What has set off the latest round of breast-beating and begging for Islamic forgiveness?  Allegedly, the Quran was urinated on, or placed on a toilet or something.  Newsweek couldn’t wait to report this non-story knowing it would trigger anti-American riots and give the Islamic propaganda machine fodder for weeks to come.  In fact, if Islam has any pattern, people will die because of these still unproven allegations.  Once again, the sins of Islamists will be on the back page as we Americans scramble to be forgiven by Islam.
 
Look for more kidnappings that will be followed by the obligatory beheadings of innocent people so that “Islamic honor” can be restored.  As we have all learned, only the death of someone not even remotely involved in whatever it is Islamists are enraged about, restores Islam’s “honor.”  These beheadings will be video taped and gleefully shown on Al Jazeera every five minutes. 

In fact, four Afghani men have already died because of that report.  Good job, Newsweek.
 
What has happened to this country?  Four months after the attack on Pearl Harbor, Lt. Col. Jimmy Doolittle and his raiders launched an attack on mainland Japan .  That raid had one purpose and one purpose only:  To humiliate the Japanese and let them clearly know they had picked a fight with the wrong dog.  Did Franklin Delano Roosevelt “apologize” for the attack?  Of course not!  He approved the raid.  

 
On December 7, 1941, 2,403 men died at Pearl Harbor .  On September 11, 2001, 2,948 people died with 48 still missing and presumed dead for a total of 2,996 on American soil.  Pearl Harbor was at least a military target.  The World Trade Center

was not.  
 
Now we are at war again.  This time with an enemy that has no borders, no country, no government, and no recognizable army.  Islam is an enemy that does not hesitate to kill innocent civilians.  In fact, Islam prefers civilians because it fears our military.  It’s much cheaper and easier to kill a child than a Marine.
 
Islam was not outraged as Saddam Hussain slaughtered his people.  Islam was not outraged as the Taliban executed women for any number of imagined sins. 
Islam is silent as Iran

stones 13-year-old girls to death.  Islam is not outraged as thousands of young women die at the hands of their own families in brutal honor killings.  Islam says nothing as its terrorist heroes butcher Iraqi Muslims on a daily basis.  
 
What does it take to make a Muslim angry?  Say something bad about Islam and you can lose your head.  Drop the Quran in the dirt and you will be hanged.  In Sudan

, a hapless man named Mohamed Taha Mohamed Ahmed, dared speculate that Mohammed was not the son of Abdullah and is now on trial for blasphemy and he will probably be hanged.  Mobs of foaming-at-the-mouth Muslims gather outside the courthouse demanding he be torn to bits for even thinking such a thing. 
 
Put women’s underwear on a Muslim prisoner’s head and Islamists lose total control and riot in the streets outraged at the barbaric treatment of their “soldiers.”   Islamic terrorists do not uphold a single word of the Geneva Convention.  They beat, torture, and behead our prisoners, many of whom are not even soldiers.  They desecrate bodies by burning them and hanging them from bridges, but touch that Quran and Islam loses its collective mind.
 
We are apologizing to these people?  

Perhaps Americans need some reminders of some of the crimes that Islam has committed against America .  It is in the name of Islam these attacks have been carried out and I hold Islam responsible because it is Islam that has raised these terrorists to hero status.
 
On the orders of Yassar Arafat the American embassy was attacked in March of 1973 and two diplomats were killed and others were held hostage.  Arafat demanded the freedom of fellow Muslim Sirhan Sirhan, in prison for killing Robert Kennedy.  
 
A few months later, in Athens , three Americans were killed and 55 injured as Islamic terrorists threw grenades and machine-gunned civilians waiting for a flight to New York .

 
In 1983, 17 Americans died when Islamists blew up a car in front of the embassy in Lebanon .  Four more Americans died when the American embassy in Kuwait was attacked that same year.
 
Returning to the American embassy in Lebanon in 1984, 24 more Americans died when yet another car bomb went off outside the embassy.

 
The year 1985 brought death to five Americans in Rome with 74 wounded in an Islamic attack at the airport.  Also in 1985, Americans got their first glimpse into the soul of the enemy when Islamic terrorists took over the cruise ship Achilles Lauro and shot a crippled American Jew in a wheelchair, Leon Klinghoffer, and then pushed him overboard.  
 
In May, 1987, the U.S.S. Stark was attacked by an Iraqi fighter plane and 37 American sailors died.
 
Libya blew up a Pan Am flight over Scotland

killing 189 Americans on their way home for Christmas.
 
Eighteen American soldiers died in Somalia in 1993 and six Americans died in the first World Trade Center bombing with over a thousand injured.  
 
At 9:03 on the morning of April 19, 1995, a Ryder truck blew up in front of the

Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City .  On that spring day 168 people died—many of them small children.  This classic Islamic attack was quickly blamed on two “home-grown” terrorists.  This case is in the process of being re-examined due to overwhelming evidence that al Qaeda and possibly Saddam Hussain were involved.

 
In 1996, 19 Americans died when Islamists blew up the Khobar Towers in Saudi Arabia .  Also in 1996 there was the mysterious downing of TWA Flight 800.  There were 169 Americans on board.  
 
August 7, 1997 was the last day on earth for 23 Americans who were at the American embassies in Tanzania

and Kenya .  
 
The year 2000 brought the attack on the U.S.S. Cole that killed 17 American sailors.  
 
This, of course, brings us to the attack on September 11, 2001.  There have been many more attacks leading up to that horrible day and not once has Islam apologized.  
 
I hear, “We don’t want to sink to the Islamists’ level.”  I don’t want to hear that any more either.  There is absolutely no comparison to be made. 

Islamic prisoners are fed, clothed, and allowed to practice the very religion that has sworn to kill us all.  I don’t hear any Islamic outrage over the hostage beheadings or Iraqi children being targeted by Islamic butchers.  I didn’t hear a peep of anger when a British imam said children were legitimate targets for Islam.  

Islam seems to have no limit to the evil it will inflict on others.  Because of this, Islam has lost all rights to protest an imagined injustice inflicted on it.

Is Islam a religion of peace? Not according to my understanding of history nor what I have read in the Koran.

Personally, I think that having our government spokesmen refer to the Koran as "The Holy Koran" is a violation of the separation of church and state. I won't wait for the ACLU to sue over it though.

Barbara, you have nailed it and essentially left nothing else to said as you have said it all. Every American needs to read this to get their head screwed on straight and stop with the political correctness and B.S. This is a fight for survival for the USA and the first stpe is for the American sheeple to understand the true nature of the enemy. Islam is a death cult that has the stated goal of converting every American to Islam or killing them and these are the kind of people that we want to appease and be liked by ? They only understand the language of force and deterrence, let's speak it loud and often.

Yeah, but its easier than killing all of them.

Funny how Buddhists, Confucians, Animists, and Christians don't seem to need this sort of coddling. If I believed in that sorta stuff, I'd say the Islam has a self-esteem issue.

We are condidered infidels and certainly deserving of something other than an apology. Moderate Islam, if there is such a thing, is not authentic Islam as described in the Koran.

" Islam has threatened to make our streets “run red with American blood.”"


Given our high Iraqi death tolls and the fact that we've made streets in Fallujah and elsewhere run red with the blood of Islime, I'd say that we got 'scoreboard' on 'em!!

It is not very PC to say we are war with Islam.

I'd type out a proper cognizant reply on this thread but I have no idea how long this thread will remain before the Islam apologists here start demanding that the thread be pulled.

Surely they will refer to it as "hate speech" in their attempts to convince and ever growing compliant group of moderators to pull it.

WHY do we need to apologize?

Barbara J. Stock tells it like it is.

"We stop trying to flush the Koran, you stop beheading Americans... Deal?"

Are the "free copies" of the Koran which are being handed out by CAIR....heavily edited? Redacted?.......to exclude all of those hundreds of verses demanding DEATH to all non-Muslims? If they aren't redacted, then where is the "peace" in the Koran? Where is the "greatness" which justifies the dignified label, "one of the world's great religions?" What is "great" about perpetual mass murder over 14 centuries?

What am I missing here?

Incidentally, I posted this article by Barbara Stock about a week or more ago, so if any of you are interested in going through the many responses, just do a search and my posting should come up.

Prophet of Doom - Islam’s Terrorist Dogma, In Muhammad’s Own Words


Islam is a caustic blend of regurgitated paganism and twisted Bible stories.
Muhammad, its lone prophet, conceived his religion solely to satiate his lust for power, sex, and money.
He was a terrorist.

And if you think these conclusions are shocking, wait until you see the evidence at www.prophetofdoom.net.

"Why I left Islam", by Dr. Ali Sina


"...the real Islam is not what its philosophers and mystics have inferred but what is in the Quran and that is the Islam of the fundamentalist and the terrorist. The real Islam is the Islam that abuses women, that allows men to beat their wives, that imposes penalty tax on the religious minorities, that wants to dominate the world by subduing all the non-Muslims, that calls for Jihad and killing the non-believers until Islam becomes the only dominant religion of the World*."

"The enemy is Islam and that is the target of my attacks. I do that, despite knowing that I have become the magnet of the hatred of fanatical Muslims and my own life could be in danger.

Yet I know that by eradicating Islam we can save the world from the dangers of a catastrophe that otherwise is looming over our heads and could cause more disaster than the 1st and 2nd World Wars combined."


Islamic terror based on Qu’ran: ex-CIA official

"A former top official of the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency paints a menacing picture of the relationship between Islam and terrorism.

"Islamic terrorism is based on Islam as revealed through the Qu’ran," keynote speaker Bruce Tefft claimed in a panel discussion at the University of Toronto on jihad and global terrorism.

And, he added, "There is no difference between Islam and Islamic fundamentalism, which is a totalitarian construct..."

According to Tefft, the Qu’ran enjoins Muslims to believe that the whole world should be governed by the principles of Islam*, an expansionist religion that has historically grown through conquest..."



*‘Islam isn't in America to be equal to any other faith, but to become dominant. The Qur'an should be the highest authority in America, and Islam the only accepted religion on earth’

-- Omar Ahmed, Chairman of the Board of CAIR (Council of American Islamic Relations), San Ramon Valley Herald, July 1998
