Great post, sir. How easily evil seeps into pagan and idol worshipping cultures and infests their people with a murderous heart.

On the bright side, Christ always wins. Not long after a few hundred Spaniards conquered the them, about 9 million Aztecs converted to Christianity. This incredible phenomenon can be traced directly to the conversion of Juan Diego, a Mexican Indian, and Our Lady of Guadalupe who appeared to him in 1531.

In high school, the history books we used always tried to condemn Cortez. My teacher went out of his way to try to show us just who the Aztec's were and why Cortez felt he had to destroy them. In short, the Aztec's were evil.

We may be facing the same situation now.

Profound. Good post.

I remember discussing this topic in college with a great professor. First impressions on the conquest were that it was merely a "bunch of angry white guys with no more wars to wage" and the New World was a perfect place to send them. Not so.

Superb.

The day will come, of course, when the Muzzies overreach.

All fascist movements make that mistake.

Be Seeing You,

It is therefore incumbent on all those who wish not to someday submit to an Islamic yoke to demand of Moslems that they publicly renounce the Koran Call to Jihad.

"I am a Muslim living in Britain, and I give my allegiance only to Allah." According to Sayful, the aim of al-Muhajiroun (The Immigrants) is nothing less than Khilafah - "the worldwide domination of Islam". ... Islam is clear: Muslims living in lands that are occupied have the right to attack their invaders."

So ... Britain is a land which has been invaded by the British. It rightfully belongs to the Muslims, who are therfore justified in attacking the invaders.

Mentally Unstable Religion of Evil.

It sounds like warmed over higher criticism applied to Islam instead of to Christianity.

It would have been interesting to see the Aztecs and Arabs meet on the battlefield.

I'm somewhat skeptical about the whole "Islam only used to justify Arab imperialism" idea. If Muhammad never existed, who was leading all these nomadic invaders at first?

Now he does not consider himself British.
"I am a Muslim living in Britain, and I give my allegiance only to Allah." -Sayful

Now they do not consider themselves American.

Muslims have been a threat to the life and liberty of their neighbors for 14 centuries. Nothing has changed.

Great article.

But, I still say we had our own jihad, right here in the good ol' US of A.

Only, we called it "Manifest Destiny".
