...Recently, my hometown newspaper featured a front page article by none other than a muslim professor teaching at our local college. His article, of course, was against the war in Iraq and was anti-American. I just shuddered because I know 90% of the people in our town disagree with everything he said and everything he stands for but few will say anything because of political correctness. Also, his status as a professor protects him. Homeland security had better be monitoring EVERY mideast "professional" who has come to this country over the past 30 years. This is war and it is here.

SF Driver Called Himself a "Terrorist"

From KTVU in San Francisco, here’s a little bit of information that somehow failed to make it into any of the media reports on yesterday’s hit and run attacks in San Francisco.

Watch as reporter Rob Roth says a witness heard the suspect refer to himself as a “terrorist,” then without taking a breath tells us this was not an act of terrorism. An interesting coincidence (and possible motive for revenge?) from earlier this month, when an elderly man lost control of his car and ran into a crowd outside Omeed Aziz Popal’s mosque: Car injures 11 outside mosque.

I did the "terror" search of the Qur'an maybe two years ago. That's an eye-opener. Read them and seethe at your leisure.

002.019 003.151 006.063 007.004 007.005 007.071 007.116 007.134 007.135 007.152 008.012 008.060 014.042 016.112 017.059 017.060 018.018 018.049 020.102 021.097 021.103 027.087 027.089 033.026 034.023 034.051 052.045 059.002 059.013
 
[koran 3.151] We will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve, because they set up with Allah that for which He has sent down no authority, and their abode is the fire, and evil is the abode of the unjust.
[koran 8.12] When your Lord revealed to the angels: I am with you, therefore make firm those who believe. I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve. Therefore strike off their heads and strike off every fingertip of them.
[koran 27.89] Whoever brings good, he shall have better than it; and they shall be secure from terror on the day.
[koran 52.45] Leave them then till they meet that day of theirs wherein they shall be made to swoon (with terror):
[koran 59.2] He it is Who caused those who disbelieved of the followers of the Book to go forth from their homes at the first banishment you did not think that they would go forth, while they were certain that their fortresses would defend them against Allah; but Allah came to them whence they did not expect, and cast terror into their hearts; they demolished their houses with their own hands and the hands of the believers; therefore take a lesson, O you who have eyes!

Got tired of highlighting.

The only people who could possibly claim the Qur'an isn't a manual of warfare are taqiyyalopes, hopeful Muslim reformers with beams in their eyes, or lying members of the MESA Nostra collecting payola from their Arab masters.

Media Shies Away from M Word Again

The media is shying away from the subject of whether Omeed Aziz Popal is a Muslim as if it were radioactive. Here’s a story at Mercury News that floats the thoroughly predictable excuse that he was normally kind and pious, but the stress of an arranged Islamic marriage caused him to develop mental illness: Arranged nuptials may have stressed suspect, relatives say.

Movie Review: Obsession: Radical Islam's War Against The West

During last weekend's appearances at the Minnesota State Fair, I met Vince Muzik of Minnesotans Against Terrorism, who told me of a new feature-length documentary MAT had assisted in producing. He agreed to send me a copy of the film on DVD for an opportunity to preview it ahead of its Minneapolis premiere next week, and we watched it tonight.

Based on Vince's casual introduction of it at the fair, I didn't know what to expect from Obsession: Radical Islam's War Against The West, the film produced by Wayne Kopping and Raphael Shore. It actually is quite an impressive production. Obsession, according to IMDB, had its release last year and has won several film festival awards, notably the Best Feature Film at the Liberty Film Festival and awards in Houston and Newport Beach festivals as well. Kopping's previous effort, Relentless: The Struggle For Peace In The Middle East, provided a critical look at the Oslo accords, but Kopping opts for a much broader view in Obsession.

The film takes care to differentiate between mainstream Islam and radical Islamism, and it does so for a reason.

The opening sequence of the film takes up more time than I think it needs, and it delays one of the film's most important themes from developing until almost midway through, which is the correlations between Islamism and Naziism.

Manipulating Rummy

What Rumsfeld said;

I recount this history because once again we face the same kind of challenges in efforts to confront the rising threat of a new type of fascism.

Today, another enemy — a different kind of enemy — has also made clear its intentions — in places like New York, Washington, D.C., Bali, London, Madrid, and Moscow. But it is apparent that many have still not learned history’s lessons.

We need to face the following questions:

* With the growing lethality and availability of weapons, can we truly afford to believe that somehow vicious extremists can be appeased?
* Can we really continue to think that free countries can negotiate a separate peace with terrorists?
* Can we truly afford the luxury of pretending that the threats today are simply “law enforcement” problems, rather than fundamentally different threats, requiring fundamentally different approaches?
* And can we truly afford to return to the destructive view that America — not the enemy — is the real source of the world’s trouble?

These are central questions of our time. And we must face them.


And what the Associated Press says Rumsfeld said.

Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld on Tuesday accused critics of the Bush administration's Iraq and counterterrorism policies of trying to appease "a new type of fascism."


Much more at the link.

Because the report originates with AP, it will quickly be disseminated widely and without question by any number of news "sources". For his part, Donald Rumsfeld might as well have recited nursery rhymes, for all the resemblance the AP account bears to the original.

Just another day at the news bureau.

"The Washington Post
Because for 11 years years, the American public wasn’t informed about the threat that lead to September 11 and because the classrooms and newsrooms of the United States were not educated enough about the global threat of “Jihadism,” we feel it is incumbent on individual citizens to educate themselves about this danger and mobilize to prevent a Future Jihad looming around the world and at home. It is important that American citizens understand who the “Jihadists” are, what they want to achieve, and how they are proceeding."
 
Phillips: The Media War Against Israel

Here’s a great piece by Melanie Phillips on the wider lessons of the Fauxtography scandal: The media war against Israellink: 130 comments  "The internet has exposed the news "profesionals" as a sorry bunch of pompous, self-congratulating, groupthinking, biased, lazy-assed mediocre hacks."

Legal Jihad in Boston

The radical-linked Islamic Society of Boston is continuing to sue just about everyone who criticizes their plans for a huge mosque in Roxbury; their latest targets are talk show host Michael Graham and a list of other Boston media outlets: WTKK, Boston Herald, FOX 25 Boston, Michael Graham.

They must really want to build that mosque.

For more information on the case: Praised as beacon, mosque project stalls amid rancor.

Notes on the San Fran rampage

popal1.jpg

Readers, you know of my strong views and work debunking the "myth of the lone Muslim avenger;" reporting on the rash of "lone" Muslim shooters who have murdered Americans; and combating P.C. whitewashing of jihad. Most recently, I've extensively covered the Jeep Jihadi Mohammed Taheri-Azar in North Carolina and Seattle's Jew-hating killer Naveed Haq.

But after thoroughly considering both sides of the debate over Omeed Aziz Popal and reading the latest accounts of Popal's disturbed family history, I've concluded that this case does not quite belong with the others I've covered. Allah reviewed the theories and counterevidence yesterday and dubs Popal "old-fashioned crazy." Be sure to read a healthy debate in the comments thread over the role of blogs, speculation, and the MSM. Both Allah and Bryan at Hot Air make good points:

Here's my two cents:

1) Of course we should all be careful as we sift through media reports and search for the truth. One of the most valuable roles bloggers can play is to bring the expertise of readers to light in a largely read forum--the rapid sharing and analysis of open-source intelligence. The instant feedback about the neighborhoods where Popal mowed down people, for example, was extremely helpful.

2) People are fed up with the MSM whitewashing of jihad. This is the reason for the strong counter-response to the knee-jerk denials of the press, politicians, and police who always seem so bent on denying that Islam ever has anything to do with criminal acts. The skepticism over the "mental illness" card is well-grounded in reality. (See Sudden Jihad Syndrome.) And on a side note, the phenomenon of faked Muslim hate crimes, most recently documented by Patrick Poole at The American Thinker and on this blog and in my columns (here here here and here) has exacerbated distrust of media reporting that serves the "Kafir-phobia" agenda.

3) It is not alarmism to point out biographical information, religious affiliations, locations and other factual bits and pieces that might be relevant.

4) At this point, given all the evidence available, Popal does not appear to be a jihadi --not in the unequivocally vengeful way that Haq and Taheri-Azar were. Popal's rampage wasn't a vendetta targeting Jews, striking out against Israel, or protesting America's wars in Iraq or Afghanistan. So far, there's been no statement, no letter, no taped conversation with a 911 operator, in which Popal expresses those clear, unmistakable, Koran-inspired sentiments.

As I linked the other day, we have one report of an eyewitness who told KTVU that she heard Popal say "I'm a terrorist, I don't care."

It's a piece of the puzzle. I'm just not sure how large it is, or how reliable. I do know that it is definitely not as strong a piece of evidence of jihadi intentions as the statements Haq and Taheri-Azar made at the time of, and in the aftermath of, their assaults made in the name of revenge on behalf of Muslims. Or consider the extensive Muslim diatribes of Beltway-area snipers Lee Malvo and John Muhammad. It's possible this could change with an outburst during his arraignment, letters to the press citing chapter and verse of the Koran, or (unlikely) disclosure by San Francisco police of statements Popal may have made to them that indicate anti-Israel/anti-American bias. Possible, but unlikely, I think.

5) That said, Popal's family's Muslim beliefs and culture seem most definitely to have played a role in pushing him over the edge. Via the San Jose Mercury News:

The family stories have changed so dramatically, I have whiplash following all twists and turns. Relatives and friends first suggested Popal was stressed about participating in an arranged marriage. Now, the story is that he was fighting his parents because he saw the arranged marriage as a way out of his stifling family environment. Another cousin says he "thought the devil was coming for him." Maybe Popal's bride will be able to shed some light on the family turmoil surrounding the marriage.

Here's some related reading on Afghanistan and bad marriages and sharia-sanctioned imprisonment of women for crimes of love.

Meanwhile, Popal's attorney has dropped the case and referred Popal to the public defender's office as a prosecutors seek a murder charge and 14 counts of attempted murder. Friends and family of hit-run victim Stephen Wilson mourned his death yesterday.

I will call Popal, the crazed thug accused of mowing down innocent men, women, and children on the streets of San Francisco, many names. But for the moment, "jihadi" isn't one of them.

Jihad in San Francisco Part II

So everyone has weighed in and and decided that it wasn't a jihad in San Francisco after all. Even those most skeptical concur. Except me. Sorry, driving around synogugues running over everyone in your wake? Drive around mosques -- then I'll be convinced.
Bay Area  Neocon sent this map. Illustrates my point nicely. 

Sfmapjihad_1 
Click to enlarge. Bat Area Neo writes

I did a map of the attacks, and highlighted the JCC, Shearith Israel, Temple Emmanual, and Mt. Zion. (Don't forget there are various things affiliated with the Jewish Home for the Aged by Mt. Zion.)

I remember many years ago, the first time I tried to find each of the landmarks--I found the city a bit confusing, and drove all around the area. (I thought Shearith Israel looked like a chruch. I not only drove past it multituidnous times; I WALKED past it about four times.)

While this isn't really a "Jewish" section of the city, per se, for someone who didn't know better, this would be the place to go.

VDH: The Waiting Game

In another powerful article, Victor Davis Hanson on the West’s increasingly enervated response to Islamic terrorism: The Waiting Game.

Hezbollah’s black-clad legions goose-step and stiff-arm salute in parade, apparently eager to convey both the zeal and militarism of their religious fascism. Meanwhile, consider Hezbollah’s “spiritual” head, Hassan Nasrallah — the current celebrity of an unhinged Western media that tried to reinvent the man’s own self-confessed defeat as a victory. Long before he hid in the Iranian embassy Nasrallah was on record boasting: “The Jews love life, so that is what we shall take away from them. We are going to win because they love life and we love death.”

Iran’s Mahmoud Ahmadinejad trumps that Hitlerian nihilism by reassuring the poor, maltreated Germans that there was no real Holocaust. Perhaps he is concerned that greater credit might still go to Hitler for Round One than to the mullahs for their hoped-for Round Two, in which the promise is to “wipe” Israel off the map.

The only surprise about the edition of Hitler’s Mein Kampf that has become a best seller in Middle Eastern bookstores is its emboldened title translated as “Jihadi” — as in “My Jihad” — confirming in ironic fashion the “moderate” Islamic claim that “jihad” just means “struggle,” as in an “inner struggle” — as in a Kampf perhaps.

Meanwhile, we in the West who worry about all this are told to fret instead about being “Islamophobes.” Indeed, a debate rages over the very use of “Islamic fascism” to describe the creed of terrorist killers — as if those authoritarians who call for a return of the ancient caliphate, who wish to impose of 7th-century sharia law, promise death to the Western “crusader” and “Jew,” and long to retreat into a mythical alternate universe of religious purity and harsh discipline, untainted by a “decadent” liberal West, are not fascists. It is almost as if Alfred Rosenberg has returned in a kaffiyeh to explain why Jews really are apes and pigs, and why we must recapture the spirit of our primitive ancestors.

U.S. Muslims Warn of Threat From Within

This is the sort of thing we need to see on a much larger scale -- if and when it is sincere. From AP, with thanks to JS: More about CAIR here, and about the Fiqh Council's anti-terror fatwa here. Posted by Robert at 08:59 AM | Comments (99) "There is no bright line between "moderate" Muslim and "immoderate" Muslim. There are the texts, which are clear. There is the history of Islam, of Jihad-conquest, and of mistreatment of non-Muslims -- every possible kind of non-Muslim -- over a very long period..."

Taqiyya is with tongue only; not the heart. A believer can make any statement as long as the ‘heart is comfortable'. Meaning: I hate you but I smile at you in public.

I sure hope someone is paying attention.

DEBUT OF ATLAS ON THE AIR SPECIAL GUEST BRIGITTE GABRIEL

Brigitte_and_pamela_4

               My new show ATLAS ON THE AIR is debuting
THURSDAY SEPT.7th  on BlogTalkRadio  9pm EST -10pmEST

I will be chattin' on Brigitte Gabriel, my sistuh! I love Brigitte. Strong, brave, truth teller. She is extraordinary. Her book is out September 5th. It will be a wildly interesting day as I have PM Benjamin Netanyahu speaking earlier that day so I will be your eyes and ears (and mouth of course.)
Brigitte's new book, Because They Hate: A Survivor of Islamic Terror Warns America, (great title right?) describes how she lost her childhood to militant Islam. In 1975 she was ten years old and living in Southern Lebanon when militant Muslims from throughout the Middle East poured into her country and declared jihad against the Lebanese Christians. . For seven years, Brigitte and her parents lived in an underground bomb shelter. They had no running water or electricity and very little food; at times they were reduced to boiling grass to survive.

Because They Hate is a political wake-up call told through a very personal memoir frame. Brigitte warns that the US is threatened by fundamentalist Islamic theologyBecause_they_hate_1 in the same way Lebanon was— radical Islam will stop at nothing short of domination of all non-Muslim countries. Gabriel saw this mission start in Lebanon, and she refuses to stand silently by while it happens here. Gabriel sees in the West a lack of understanding and a blatant ignorance of the ways and thinking of the Middle East. She also points out mistakes the West has made in consistently underestimating the single-mindedness with which fundamentalist Islam has pursued its goals over the past thirty years.

Look what Emerson and Spencer have to say about her latest work;

“Brigitte Gabriel eloquently reminds America what is truly at stake in this struggle against terrorism: our families, our way of life, and our hopes. Ms. Gabriel's personal account of her own experience is riveting, compelling and spellbinding. This is a must read for the entire American public . . . This book contains monumental revelations that will shock and disturb you. But it is also a story of an indomitable spirit--Brigitte's-- that will move you.”
--Steve Emerson, author of American Jihad: The Terrorists Living Amongst Us, Executive Director, the Investigative Project on Terrorism

“Brigitte Gabriel's story is at once intensely personal and possessing global significance . . . the story of her family and her childhood encapsulates the threat that faces the entire free world today. Brigitte Gabriel's words should be read, and studied carefully, by all the law enforcement and government officials of the West -- as well as by everyone who values freedom.” -- Robert Spencer, author of The Politically Incorrect Guide to Islam (and the Crusades)

So join me for a riveting hour with a giant.

You'll be able to check on all my upcoming shows on the Blog radio blog and you will be able to call in and CALL IN:(347) 996-3444.

Future guests include Dr. Andrew Bostom, Nidra Poller .........

British police arrest 16 in anti-terrorism raids

By Adrian Croft Sat Sep 2, 9:55 AM ET

LONDON (Reuters) - British police said on Saturday they had arrested 16 men in two separate anti-terrorism operations just three weeks after uncovering a suspected plot to bring down U.S.-bound airliners over the Atlantic.

MORE UK TERROR ARRESTS:   There's a roundup of blog reactions on these arrests here.

AMERICA! Convert to Islam or Die

The enemy does not veer off course. The left (and the UN, and the Eurabians, and the communists) may turn itself inside out to avoid the 800lb barbarian in the room but the adherents to Islam are doing it  by the book (the Koran). Islam requires that an enemy state be given the chance to convert to Islam before being attacked and killed. Very much like the letter Ahmadinejad sent to Bush here and the fatwa Osama issued back in 1998 against America.

The "Azzam" Threat: A prelude to Future Jihad in America

Convert or die

invitation.jpg
R.S.V.P, infidels

Watch the new al Qaeda video to see what an "invitation to Islam" sounds like. I've transcribed a sample of American al Qaeda Adam Gadahn's rant:

"Islam is the only religion acceptable to God and came with the revealed book, the Koran, which abrogates all previous revelations, like the Torah and Evangel... God recognizes no separation between religion and state..." Reuters' brief report doesn't mention Gadahn's targeting of Pipes, Emerson, Scheuer, and Spencer.Don't miss yet another jihadi propaganda video recently released of terrorists who love Michael Moore. Who is Adam Gadahn? Watch here. FBI bulletin here. All about Adam Gadahn here. Speaking of Muslim conversions, make sure to watch the Centanni/Wiig conversion video if you haven't yet. Re-watch it, then read Diana West: By the way, the "Holy Jihad Brigades," kidnappers of Centanni and Wiig, announced Saturday that they'll be targeting more non-Muslims: Update: Robert Spencer responds to Gadahn... The Counterterrorism Blog weighs in on Jihadism's second generation, tons of video analysis and hyperlinks, and more from Andrew Cochranlink: 138 comments "Why nuke Mecca? We can simply confiscate the black three-piece meteorite, a stationary target which their "religion" prohibits them from moving. It's located in an open air mosque and it's not far from the water."

BOMB IN CHICAGO TRAIN STATION

Like sheeps to slaughter right?  The jihad media strikes again (or should I say doesn't?)

Have you heard about this one? Nah, I didn't think so. A story like this and no one touches it? But every dukes of hazzard car chase is  given ample air time (except, of course,  cars driven by Muslims mowing down pedestrians in front of Synagogues.) I am telling you folks, we are fighting for the soul of America. Oh and BTW, heads up in Grand Central Station.

Perhaps the most disturbing fact in this report comes from recent polling, which shows the American public to be almost as susceptible to conspiracy theories as the Arabs.
The Futility Of Applying Reason To Insanity

With the anniversary of the 9/11 attacks fast approaching, the government has busied itself with answering questions raised by conspiracy theorists who fervently believe that the World Trade Center towers had help in their destruction. The State Department and the National Institue of Stantards and Technology both released reports this week proving once again that when big airplanes loaded with jet fuel plow into skyscrapers, it tends to destroy the buildings: The full report, released a year ago, and the new study, in a question and answer format, are available online at http://wtc.nist.gov. The State Department report can be found at this link. Rick Moran at Right Wing Nuthouse applauds the government's efforts to respond to the conspiracy nuts, but deplores the need for it:

"I think fear drives a lot of this, After all if it is Bush and a few other dangerous people, then all of this will be over when he is gone. It is safe to go after Bush....They refuse to believe Americans were targeted because they are Americans, Israelis because they're, well, Jews actually, and that Death stalks us all..."

CAIR's 9/11 PR Push Continues

Here we go again, as mainstream media runs interference for CAIR’s spurious claims of an ominous rise in “hate crimes” against Muslims, just in time for the five-year anniversary of the September 11 Islamic terror attacks: US Muslims plagued by discrimination after 9/11 attacks.

Here is a novel idea - why doesn't CAIR get off their butts and start helping Americans fight terrorism instead of spending $50 million trying to convince us terrorism doesn't exist?

Journalists Change Story, Attempt Comeback

The story of the alleged Israeli missile or rocket attack on two Red Cross ambulances was one of Hezbollah's decisive propaganda victories in the recent conflict in Lebanon..and when photos and video footage of the ambulances were scrutinized, the story appeared to fall apart. Zombie performed the fullest analysis, which showed, among other things, that the ambulance that had been alleged, in hundreds of news stories, to have suffered a direct missile hit on the center of the red cross on its roof had in fact sustained no such thing. Some journalists are now trying to rehabilitate the ambulance attack story. Blog of the Week Riehl World View, which has been one of the leaders on this story from the beginning, has updated coverage and links. The Age,

"As you research, will you keep an eye out for the muslim connection, please? It is there, I have looked at the terrorist training camps in Mexico, there are several that can be found."

I know some of this right now and it is primarily associated with the EPR in Mexico. Al Qaeda documents uncovered in Pakistan were reviewed in a British MI6 Report which linked Al Qaeda with the EPR, in whom Al Qaeda seemed to place some hope for assisting it in carrying out attacks in the U.S.

L'État, c'est moi

Global Guerillas has a piece about the 'mercenary industry', continuing its focus on 4th Generation Warfare. It says the proliferation of private security agencies in Iraq "serves as yet another sign of the return of the pre-Westphalian warfare" and advises watching the documentary "Shadow Company" by Nick Bicanic and Jason Bourque, which has solid interviews with industry insiders/pundits/analysts like Robert Young Pelton, Doug Brooks, and Peter Singer" as an introduction into the phenomenon. Chester has been on the subject of privatized warfare before. He wondered whether the Supreme Court's Hamdan decision didn't go some way towards putting nonstate combatants on par with states. He wrote in an essay for Pajamas Media that:


Hamdan’s main focus was trial by military commission, but one of its most important side-effects is that it seems to grant a recognition to a non-state organization without territory, an identifiable system of government, and lacking any legal mechanism capable of ratifying the Geneva Convention. Yet it is covered by the Geneva Convention. One must ask what other types of non-state or private organizations could achieve this sort of legal recognition if al-Qaeda could?

Going by recent events in Lebanon, Hezbollah has achieved a stature and de-facto recognition that many states would envy. It's funny how Hezbollah and other terrorist groups, though receiving money and training from states to attack other states (called "proxy warfare") are never referred to as "mercenaries". Instapundit has a post on Darfur looking at the issue not merely through the usual Islamist/nonIslamist prism, but in the context of the UN's condemnation of the right to self defense. Reynold's post says:

DARFUR UPDATE: "In the face of ongoing genocide in Darfur, the international community's failure to accept the 'responsibility to protect' (that's United Nations language, officially adopted) innocent civilian lives has taken its last, abject form. The National Islamic Front (NIF) regime in Khartoum, made up of the very men who have for more than three years orchestrated the systematic destruction of Darfur's African tribal populations, has been told directly and unambiguously that there will be no U.N. peacemaking force without its consent." Kind of puts the U.N.'s disavowal of a right to self-defense in perspective, doesn't it?

The UN's 'disavowal of self-defense' highlights the muddle into which thinking on state/nonstate actors has fallen. The UN argues that people have no legal right to defend themselves and those matters should be left to the state. The state? If Khartoum can can use the nonstate Janjaweed militia in Darfur and Iran can use the Hezbollah in Lebanon, what sense does it really make for the UN to argue that individuals cannot privately defend themselves?

wretchard said...

The State monopoly on the use of violence to enforce justice, like all monopolies, is tolerable only for as long as it works reasonably well. When it begins to fail due to political correctness or inefficiency, a black market for security will emerge. People who have followed Iraq the Model will note how "neighborhood patrols" soon begin to emerge where the state is perceived as being unable to provide security. The "Minutemen" on the southern border derives largely from the perception that the border patrol has failed.

Unfortunately I don't own a television set. But ABC's Path 9/11 is certain to raise the stakes in one of the biggest memetic battles of the War on Terror: who to blame for the attack on Manhattan. In a broad sense, a fairly large part of the public has already concluded it's America's fault, as put forward by Ward Churchill's Justice of Roosting Chickens. But for those unwilling to accept the "little Eichmanns" theory of guilt, there is apparently enough grist in the coming miniseries to make everyone unhappy.

There is no point in having a discussion with fools. Regardless of actual events and facts, they consistently regurgitate manufactured and clearly false information to support thier claims.
Here is a great example:

Islam no more impels violence than Christianity or Judaism for that matter. We shouldn't demonize a religion of a billion people who mostly mean us no harm.

That said, there really are some Muslims who want to kill Americans, and they are doing it because they believe that their religion impels it.

It's how the religion is interpreted.

And too, when there is violence in the name of religion, I fail to see the difference b/t any of the religions save for the style of one side as more 'civilized' or 'sanitized' than the other.

This completely mindless statement typifies the willing denial of actual events and facts. I will not even refute this idiocy (in this crowd) with actual events and facts because it is so plainly obvious. But unfortunately this is what passes and 'thought' and 'insight' and doctrine in todays Left.

We have reached an impasse in our societal evolution. When one side refuses to recognize actual events and facts, there can be no accomodation and there can be no dialog because language has ceased to exist between us. All that remains is force.

I'm afraid it will get very ugly in the next few years. What happens if/when the Lefties fail to win in 2006, and outright lose in 2008? As before, they will refuse to believe the actual events and facts that they lost - because it does not fit with what they believe. And that trumps actual events and facts in thier sunshiney imaginary world.

I think we will start to see a very real threat of domestic terrorism when the Left, out of desperation and a bid for relevance, allies itself with the islamofascists.
This is the true threat islam imposes on the West.

Grim Milestone: Tens of Thousands Killed Since 9/11

UPDATE: Frequent commenter Garduneh Mehr, who's Christian family fled the Mullahs of Iran, points out my mistaking the number of Islamist attacks with the actual number killed. Bizzy Blog has the number of killed by acts of terror at 6,560.

This number is woefully low. For instance, in the past two years alone about 1,700 Thais have been killed because of an Islamic insurgency in the South of that country. And in August, the jihadis killed at least 1000.

So the real number must be way higher than I originally posted. In the tens of thousands.

That's right. Tens of thousands of innocents have been killed since 9/11. All of them were killed by Muslims in the name of Allah. Most of the victims were Muslim.

So, while the Left circulates the Grim Milestone meme that more Americans have now died since 9/11 than on it, please keep those numbers in mind.

A 2 1/2+ year bump to your vigilance. My stomach turns to the knowledge that there are mosques in the U.S. The founding fathers would NEVER have considered islam a religion and given it protection under the Constitution. Only our present 'idiots-in-charge' would permit such a thing.

How the Feminists’ “War against Boys” Paved the Way for Islam
The Islamist/Leftist Convergence, Exhibit B

Islamists, leftists, and the BBC all agree: it’s time to appease Al Qaeda.

And Inayat Bunglawala, media secretary of the radical front group known as the Muslim Council of Britain, is right there to second the motion: Time to start talking. (Hat tip: Moonbat Media.)

The comments from Guardian readers to Bunglawala are a real hoot.  Those comments were a hoot. Looks like the Brits have seen the light, been connecting dots, they even gave koran quotes.    link: 102 comments "More Muslimn BS, more whining, more victimization, more L3 PC crap, more "religion of peace", more..."   Brits say "Islam is stinking up the joint"...

Damn right, it is a bloody shame.

Seriously, Howard's popularity just keeps going up and up. He seems to do better with the people the more up-front, straight-up he gets. Isn't this just predictably so? This is exactly what 98% of people want from their leaders: "Level with me"

GWB should not be polling as low as he is. He can size up a situation very well. I'm sure his assessments are excellent. But it is timidness and a seeming retreat from public debate that doesn't have him levelling with the folks out there. Howard can be found on talk radio most days of the week - you can talk to him. He returns all his mail. He is accessible to the masses. This should apply for GWB as an example of strong principled conservative leadership with a constant dialogue with the people.
