thanks for the ping, I only read as far as Mrs Bush saying that ‘their god’ was the same God...which might be half true in as much as ‘their religion’ was plagiarised by mohammad who was an illiterate no-account when he heard about Judaism and Christianity from the men of religion in Medina.
Mrs Bush seems to have been repeating the dangerous myth about this death cult. Anyone wanting to understand this cult needs to also read The Life of Muhammad written by Edward, Canon Sell, published in 1913.
It’s going to be touch and go, whether the West wakes up in time or not. Won’t happen while governments are lying to their citizens, whether through self interest or stupidity, won’t make any difference.
The best we can hope for is that the malice and poison within that cult creates the whirlwind it deserves, and they wipe each other out.
That said, ANY attempt to educate the people on what islam is really all about, is commendable.

The life OF Muhammad (EXCERPT)
It was not something new which
Muhammad brought to a people hitherto igno-
rant of it. The Arabs, however, were not a
pious people, and the fear of Allah and the re-
verence of their numerous minor deities degener-
ated into a form of fetish worship. The supersti-
tious reverence for natural objects led to the
separating off of certain places as sacred. What
they lacked in devotion to the gods was more
than made up for by devotion to the clan. ‘ The
original religious society was the kindred group
and all duties of kinship were part of religion.’ 1
Infanticide was common, polygamy was practised
and the moral condition was low.
The Pagan Arabs were a tolerant people and
Zoroastrians, Jews and Christians were allowed to
settle down amongst them. In South Arabia some
tribes were largely Christian and had bishops and
churches of their own. Their Christianity was
weak and gave place to Judaism. The Jews then
began a bitter persecution of the Christians, and
this led to the intervention of the Abyssinians,
who coming over to the successful help of their
co-religionists remained in the land. The Jews,
however, were still a numerous people, and it is
said that there were twenty tribes of Jewish origin
in Madina alone. In many cases they seem to
have been clients (Ahlaf) or allies of neighbouring

Arab tribes, to whom they looked for protection.
These Jewish communities were industrious and
wealthy, with some reputation for learning. They
were, in fact, the most cultured people in Arabia.
Their influence was considerable, and this would
have been a source of strength to them, if only
they had had the wisdom to see how important
united action was in resisting the attacks made
upon them. They failed in this respect and so
were easily overcome in detail. They formed a
very important section of the community in the
city of Madina.
The Jews and Christians were known as the
* people of the book ‘, and some of the more in-
quiring minds at Mecca, as we shall hereafter see,
gained much information from them, though it
was information largely derived from Talmudic
and Apocryphal sources. Such, then, was the reli-
gious position in Arabia at the end of the sixth
century.
He’s also done a good bit of research into how our government has been infiltrated, the various groups active and so on. I’m just a numbskull but I want to help him get his info out, there are always people who just do not know....
