Before they press home Sharia Law, they will be sure to gun control a priorty. It will be one of the ways they prove they are a religion of peace, by siding with the liberals on gun control. These people are not stupid, they are evil. Big difference.
Not in the least bit is this true. Mohammad made his ticket Taking Allah from a pile of Arab Gods and raising him up against the God of the Christians and the Jews. The description of Allah is the description of Satan in the Bible, not God. If I put a boat label on a motorcycle, would you try to ride it across the lake? All gods are not the same, some people worship trees, that does not make God into wood.
"When you meet the unbelievers in the Jihad strike off their heads and, when you have laid them low, bind your captives firmly." - Koran 47: 4
Obviously this is not the same in practice. I'm sure in private GW Bush probably says "Jeez, I hate having to keep telling everyone that Islam is a religion of peace."
I find it so amusing that they gave Cat the boot. Then, he was whining on the Beeb about how everyone knows him and his activities to promote peace. Whatever mate.
bump and thanks!
Pat Robertson, Jerry Falwell, and Roy Moore agree...

No, more like:
"Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the religion of Truth, (even if they are) of the People of the Book, until they pay the Jizya with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued. (9:29)"
My point is you can find pretty much anything you want in the Koran. What the radicals have done is emphasized those verses that tell them to kill (anyone who doesn't believe what they do...ie Algeria, Shites in Pakistan, Saudi Arabia...etc. to the exclusion of any other verses.
It's like those Christians who take one or two verses from the Bible and make them the center of the faith, (I'm thinking of those who make Revelations the center of their faith).

Bump for later.
Believe me, I understand your point and agree that scripture can be twisted to fit an agenda or ideology. There is more to this, however, as it relates to the Quran, specifically the Mecca vs. Medina interpretations.
There is nothing in the New Testament that could be "mis-interpreted" as violent or as inciting violence.
There are no major conflicts in the world today that involve Christians or Jews, Hindus, Sikkhs, Buddhists,etc., who act violently and justify these actions based on their religious texts. However, there are over 10 major world conflicts that involve the followers of Islam. They are justifying their use of violence based on the Quran. I specifically mean the radical Islamists.

Today yes, but you don't have to go back all that far to find them. A Hindus/Sikkh war could happen (as an example)
"Quran, specifically the Mecca vs. Medina interpretations."
Given that I'm not the brightest bulb on the tree [feel free to disagree:-)] what do you mean?
Therein lies the conundrum. Couching it in "religious" terms conceals the political nature of Islam and its true face, while opposing it chips away at the most sacred pillar of our own culture and political system as well as that of most other Western countries: freedom of religion.
Most ignorant and naive well-meaning people among us can't entertain that contradiction. Who would have thought that an ignorant, illiterate thug 1400 years ago would invent the putrefaction that would bring down the culmination of the Greek democratic ideal not to be invented for centuries?
The first step (sooner or later) must be the official finding by the Federal government that Islam is not a religion as defined by the Constitution (clearly it is not). This would be followed by the immediate destruction of every mosque in the United States, followed by a period of at least four generations to allow Islam to reconstitute itself into a form similar to all other world religions, which universally respect and distance themselves from the secular and political political units we now define as States or Countries.
Without this explicit, clear, permanent and unambiguous separation, no present or future movement claiming to be a religion will ever be legal again in the United States of America.
The logic should be crystal clear. Any "religion" which claims our constitutional protection, while simultaneously seeking the destruction of every other religion, as well as the secular state which harbors it, will be subject to eternal and everlasting enmity with prejudice by our Republic. The rest of the world can go right ahead and commit suicide. We have taken Political Correctness to the brink. Let's make sure that when we step back that we remove the danger permanently.
You sir, are an idiot and part of the problem.
When the Constitution becomes the enemies' greatest weapon, it is time to take a hard look at why we have a constitution. Is it the end in itself? or simply a means to prevent certain really bad things from happening. As someone smarter than both of us put it, it is not a suicide pact.
Accepting your simple minded logic, the original thugees could simply call themselves a religion, waltz into our country kill with reckless abandon and you would not lift a finger because it would be unconstitutional!
This insidious enemy has found a way around our Constitution, and I'll be damned if I will stand still until he has completely replaced it with shari'a.
I have no trouble seeing them all supporting the "few" extremists among them; all 200,000,000 of them...
During WWII in Poland, after months and months of starvation a few Jews managed to get a few guns. They took a stand and decided to fight.
The Nazi's brutally put the "rebellion" down but it took months. Guns in the hands of civilians makes a tremendous difference.
