I read in Goldberg's book Bias that a river of hatred flows from the cities and villages of the Mid-East right into the cockpits of the 9-11 highjackers. It is high time the non-Muslim world wake up to a fact that Israelis have known about Islam for years. Islam is a repressive political system (like Communism and Fascism) as well as a repressive religious system the likes of which humanity has not seen in history. It is an enigma to folks steeped in Western values of toleration. We'd better dummy up and begin to see Islam for what it really is--a malignant and backward socio-political ideology out to squeeze all of humanity in its repressive vice.

"Islam is a ...repressive religious system the likes of which humanity has not seen in history."

Yes, I cannot think of another. Of course SOME of the repression of women is cultural, it's pretty bad in India too and not just amoung the Muslims there. But I look back on the days I knew nothing about Islam as days of blissful ignorance. I knew it repressed women though, even when I knew nothing about it.

Jesus said "render unto Cesar that which is Cesar's" Islam wants to be religion and law all at once.

I am quite sure that the world's conflict with Islam will only grow. And I'm sorry to say I don't think that conflict will be confined to just the terrorists.

Europe and America should end ALL immigration IMMEDIATELY. They need to re-think the entire process and figure out what to do with the people already there. This will also end the re-inforcement of isolation that a continuing influx of new immigrants cause in the overseas community.

And I would like someone to ask some pol how they square immigration vs. unemployment in the US, and maybe in Europe too. Maybe esp. in Europe. Why do they need immigrants when they've got 10% unemployment rates?
