The Islamic States of America?
frontpagemag.com ^ | September 23, 2004 | Daniel Pipes

Posted on 09/23/2004 5:44:57 AM PDT by Fithee

The hardest thing for Westerners to understand is not that a war with militant Islam is underway but that the nature of the enemy’s ultimate goal. That goal is to apply the Islamic law (the Shari‘a) globally. In U.S. terms, it intends to replace the Constitution with the Qur’an.

This aspiration is so remote and far-fetched to many non-Muslims, it elicits more guffaws than apprehension. Of course, that used to be the same reaction in Europe, and now it’s become widely accepted that, in Bernard Lewis’ words, “Europe will be Islamic by the end of the century.”

Well, after all, Europe is ripe for the picking.

Once America becomes Islamic, who will work? Muslims are too good to perform labor of any kind. They need infidels to do the day-to-day slave labor. Look at Saudi Arabia.

“Europe will be Islamic by the end of the century.”

Yet another reason to reject the precedent that we have to ask the UN or Europe whether we may defend ourselves! Yet another reason to reject as President he who suggests we must.

no offense to you, but the title of this thread offends me in the extreme. it is not funny; after hearing of more beheadings I have lost my capacity to find any solace in humor or sarcasm or hyperbole or whatever other literary device that might be called.

this is a time for sobriety and focus; as in pinpointing the targets for the nukes.

My instincts tell me that this is and will be a real problem. Like fire, it is best to fight it before it spreads. Nothing in the Islamic world is better for the people of the world or this U.S. of A.

Be blind and be burned.

I'm quite sure that nobody finds it funny. If you are looking for a target however, maybe you should begin looking right next door.

These people are bent, in fact, on taking over this country from the inside.

Periish the thought! Yes, indeed, that is the goal of the Islamic terrorists - to force their "religion" on the entire world.

If the ACLU has anything to do with it, Europe will be Islamic next week, and in two weeks, America will be too. ACLU keeps backing the rights of Muslims, while condeming the rights of Christians and Jews to pray on public school grounds.

I thought we were equal under the law, but some are more equal than others according to the ACLU.

The thought of Europe being Islamic by the end of the century scares me to death. I've always wondered why man doesn't seem to be able to progress past a certain point - all the money & resources we have to spend on protecting ourselves from this violent philospophy. Money that could be spent on more productive things. It's scary that they want to destroy our way of life.

Europe will still be here under the new banner of the EU.

The Bible refers to it as the Last Empire.

I used to think communism would never make it in this country, but even with the Soviet system gone and other red governments on the ropes, there is a growing element seated in this nation. With Islam ,the danger is even greater. This element will hide behind constitutional protection from a document it intends to destroy just their commie precursors..

Um, that's the title of the essay by Daniel Pipes that was posted. And every word of it is true. We need to wise up to the fact that Islam is the enemy. There are miliant enemies and fellow-traveller enemies within Islam, but there are ultimately no friends to our way of life.
