Efforts by Russian Muslims to counter the rising tide of anti-Muslim items in the Russian media are often so unprofessional, emotional and grotesque they increase anti-Muslim sentiment...

Sounds like what the Muslims are doing in America. I know that CAIR ain't exactly winning minds and hearts with its "Islam will dominate America" crap.

These Muslims are starting to really piss me off. Its time to issue some fatwas of our own and start the Jihad.

Amazing how a few airplane, theaters, and school attacks tend to cloud a county's judgment. /sarcasm

I wonder to what extent the Russian public buys the idea that
these attacks were due to Chechin issues as opposed to Muslim terrorism.

Time to revisit the SIKH HISTORY and THE HISTORY OF CRUSADERS. That's the only way EUROPEANS can defeat ISLAMOFACISTS.

if things continue on their current path then I have no doubt that at some point Christian militias will form in response to Islamic terror in numerous places just as they have in the far east

Islamophobia is not even a real word. No one is afraid of Islam. Plenty of people despise Islam, revile it, loath it, even hate it. But I know of no one who fears it.

It is interesting that Islamists have chosen the vernacular and tactics of the left-wing homo-advocates in labeling their opponents. If they are hoping for the same chilling effect on speech that the lefties have achieved, they may be disappointed.

Can we please stop with this 'Islamophobia' nonsense!!! There is no such thing. Most of us never had an opinion one way or another regarding Islam until the increasing momentum of their terrorism resulted in 9/11. Since then, with their every word and every action, outspoken Muslims seem to do everything in their power to increase antagonism against them, then turn about and whine when faced with the natual and rational antipathy their actions inspire. Boo-hoo-hoo and so forth...

This sick and demented religion needs to do a bit of inward looking.

I'm not 'afraid' of Muslims. I'm sure many of them are decent people just trying to get by, really not that interested in killing infidels.

But I do believe that regardless of the decent Muslims in the midst of Islam, the religion is a blight on the face of the earth. It has been the cause of more death, misery and destruction than all the fascists and communists that ever killed a Jew or a dissident.

If Europe finds itself swamped by a tide of illegal Muslim immigration, here's hoping they destroy all their nukes if the Muslims should ever win an election in France or any other nuclear nation. Because once a European nuclear power goes Muslim, this world will officially go on red alert.

In fact, I don't know what to believe. I'd like to believe what you say, but I look at it this way: If the Republican Party were committing acts like Muslims do in the name of Islam, I would have a very tough time staying a Republican - or if I did, I would very publicly protest the hijacking of my party.

In Holland the Anglos are still waiting for the Muslims to protest the killing of Theo Van Gogh. Here, I'm still waiting for that first Muslim 9/11 protest against terrorists flying planes into buildings, in the name of Islam.

While the rank and file Muslims are, as you say, generally quiet people trying to make a living, it's very difficult for me to trust them in the long run. Of the few that I know, just mention Israel and their whole personality changes.

What you said. Islamophobia is as moronic a word as Death/ Destructionophobia. Islam is NOT a real religion as we know it. It is a cult with mob overtones.

If the pope and his minions were preaching butchery and slaughter to spread Christianity, all RCCs would be expected to stand up and stop it.

That reminds me of a pun I invented...

The Catholic Church had invited the world's foremost religious leaders to an ecumenical interfaith conference in Rome, but the Pope realized as the Dalai Lama exited his limo that the Swiss Guards had forgotten to line up enough furniture to hold all the hats and coats and capes that ministerial types tend to wear.

However, the Pope couldn't just have a Cardinal run out back and grab an armoire out of the Basilica, he'd be recognized, and the historic furniture of St. Peter's couldn't be moved. Worse, if the lack of preparation got out, it would embarrass the Vatican in front of the attending leaders, not to mention the church in the eyes of the world.

So quietly, John Paul decided to ask some of the lesser-known conference representatives, who had arrived early, to make their way through the throngs of religious Roman laymen gathered for the occasion and see if they could quickly lay hands on the woodwork necessary to hold the myriad accoutrements.

His missive?

"Go forth, among the Papal--Sihk and Druze, shelf-find!"
