"Any thoughtful person who knows history and religion would be anti-Islam. Along with Communism, Naziism, and the Black Death, Islam has been responsible for more death and destruction on the face of the planet than just about anything else since the last asteroid impact."

I use to think that Islam was a religion of peace. I was naive. Let me be the first to admit that I was wrong.

Islam is showing itself as nothing more than a cult of massive historical proportions. No one - let me repeat that - NO ONE - from the Muslim community has openly condemned the murders last week of the four American civilians who were in country to help the Iraqi people rebuild their nation after decades of neglect under Saddam. The best they can come up with is to condemn the mutilations as it isn't "tradition." All in a similar vein to 9/11 when none of the Islamic leaders here or overseas was able to bring themselves to simply condemn the terrorist attacks. The statements that they did put out for public consumption were always qualified or toned down in some manner. Maybe there are exceptions, but they are in the smallest of minorities.

We need to recognize that we are only in the early stages of a war of civilizations. And this war - a true World War - must be won completely and decisively by us. It will take years and great sacrifice, but we must prevail.

True, Islam has killed probably 100 million Christians in the past 15 centuries and probably 150 million Hindus and millions of animists, Buddhists and others.
