I mean, come now AMERICAN Islamists surely must represent the best of that peaceful religion, wouldn't they? The "terrorists" are only a small radical branch of that "peaceful religion" aren't they?
Until we understand and accept that we are at war with Islam only because it is their stated goal to dominate the world and destroy all philosophies that aren't theirs will the western world have any chance at all of living in "peace". Unfortunately, IMO, it is going to take an attack that makes the events of 911 seem like a Sunday school picnic before many will understand the insidious goal of Islam and then act accordingly.
What most apologists for Islam don't understand and there can't accept is that it is not simply a religion. It is a socio/economic/political system using the veil of "religion" and "belief in Allah" to justify their murderous, barbaric actions.
Islam is at WAR with the rest of the world and it is not simply a war of words or ideas. They are raised to believe their will must be imposed upon us by "the sword" and that their warriors who die in martyrdom in that cause receive special adulation in the eyes of their god.
When will their apologists here wake up and smell the coffee?
In round numbers, there are a mere 1.5 Billion Muslims in the world. A paltry 5% or so are active terrorist, fire- breathing international jihadist suicide bombers who hate all things un-Muslim and will kill to make that point. OK. Now stop being such a racist!
75-80 million people with very deep pockets want to kill you, your family, your friends, and destroy your country and culture. Relax. No Biggie. Another 15% or so of Muslims support these unfashionable, fanatic anti-social types with money and other help. They personally wouldn't dream of strapping on the dynamite, or hi-jacking your flight. So lighten up, at least 80% of the world's Muslims are not going to hurt anyone.
Unfortunately, that includes their more enthusiastic brothers in the Religion of Peace.
They won't.
The starry-eyed naive liberals in this country will force us to accept islam as a "religion" protected by the First Ammendment, even though it has been ruled in the courts that it is not.
