Interesting. Honestly.
But like many others, I've begun my own study of Islam and the Arab mind and Arabic history. My results so far are not encouraging. So there's that.
:-)
My study has taught me that a Muslim who wants to get to heaven will engage in Jihad (Armed war to kill the infidel or bring the infidel to a place of submission: dihimmitude). Jihad is the highest responsibility of a Muslim. Those who do not engage are in danger of hell-fire.
I am very encouraged by your statement, "But, like many others, I've begun my own study of Islam..." I am very pleased that others are waking up and seeing a need to find out for themselves.
As for this issue of whether an Islamic war cry is heard on this tape... I want to know difinatively whether it is or not. Part of me hopes I am wrong; but I have heard that cry so many times before that it jumps out at me. If I am wrong then so be it; yet, I will still prepare and raise my voice to the threat against my country!
