There is some evidence that Islam is, from the beginning and in its essence, a religion of bullies, or of people who suck up to bullies, a type that will be familiar to most of us.
In the early days, one group of North Africans were converted to Islam because they were stupified and filled with admiration by the violence of the Muslim bullies who killed their friends.
Bin Ladin appealed to a similar idea when he said that when Muslims see a weak horse and a strong horse, they admire a strong horse.
The difference in the concept of martyrdom is also striking. A Christian martyr is someone who suffers and dies for the sake of God. A Muslim martyr is a man who dies in the process of killing as many people as possible, preferably women and children. It was noticeable that when a lot of young Pakistanis went to Afghanistan to be martyred, they were mocked and scorned because they died without managing to kill anyone in the process.
Yet another indication in support of this analysis is Muslim treatment of women and slaves. They are natural-born slavers, who take pleasure in tormenting the weak and helpless. Muslims don't have a monopoly on the abuse of women, but it seems to be built into their whole system of religion and culture.
In short, Islam is a religion made to order for those with a propensity to be cowardly bullies.
"In short, Islam is a religion made to order for those with a propensity to be cowardly bullies."
And like bullies, they continue to succeed because of the BYSTANDERS who do nothing (read liberals/MSM)
Bullies only change when you put up a fight, shame them, or call them on it. They are fueled by those who like to watch or are too afraid to say anything. Go America GO!
I will never forget my best friend's elderly mother, who was staying with us on 9/11 and the days thereafter since her daughter couldn't get to Jersey from Brooklyn, saying that she had always been taught that "The purpose of Islam is to spread Islam at the point of the sword".
She was an extremely well educated, liberal, sophisticated woman. I knew nothing about Islam at that point, so I was impressed by her remark. I've seen nothing since to make me think that Bush and the rest of the "religion of peace" crowd are right and she was wrong.
I fully expect this war to get worse before it gets better. And I fully expect that soon enough our side will realize and accept what our enemy already proclaims, this IS a religious war, a war of Islam against all. Only when it becomes a war of all against Islam will we really even have a chance to win.
I don't know what will happen to the "moderate" Muslims. They should really bear in mind that even now the terrorists want to kill them too, and do, every single chance they get.
