Isham is a political ideology in addition to a religion. Would we tolerate a "defanged" Nazism if the Germans' had called it their native religion?

After all the Aryans were supposed to be "God's" master race by birthright (whether they actually invoked god or not).

Has the author done any research?

He's spent a lot of time actually LIVING there.

Large areas of Bosnia were ethnically cleansed of infidels.

And the reverse is also true.
4/244/01 Bosnian Serbs blocked a takeover of their part of Serajevo after an int’l. judge gave it to the Muslim-Croat federation.
(WSJ, 4/25/01, p.A1)

4/30/99 Serbian forces began a forced evacuation of Prizren and 10,000 people crossed the border to Albania.
(SFC, 5/1/99, p.A6)


5/2/99 Serbian police ambushed a convoy of ethnic Albanians near Studime and 109 people were killed.
(SFC, 6/19/99, p.A12)(SFC, 3/8/02, p.A14)

3/31/99 Dzakovo, Kosovo, a witness reported the Serbian paramilitary forces invade a mosque during morning prayers and killed some 80 people.
(SFC, 4/6/99, p.A8)



Just a couple of quick examples

Some televangelists are the "professional wrestlers" of religion. Con artists pushing their stage show for a willing audience.

I am unfamiliar with any born again Christians murdering those Christians who have left the church. The closest comparison that could be drawn are parents who have their kids kidnapped from a cult so that they could be deprogrammed.

You will find more paranoid secrecy and thought control under a religion like Scientology. They DO seek to silence their critics.

As to Jack Chick, there are a lot of atheists that buy his packets of comics to get a cheap laugh. An underground comix publisher even did an overview of the tracts that were published.

Islam is a sham. It is the only specifically antiChristian faith (apart from Satanism which doesn't even believe there is a God).

Islam is specifically antiChristian because it is the only faith outside of Christianity to recognize the existence of Jesus yet it denies His divinity, His crucifixion, and His resurrection. Other than that, they follow the same texts as us < /sarcasm >

The koran is a corruption of the Judeo-Christian Bible and the only "reformation" for muslims is to return to the original text, not the rantings of a child-fornicating, enslaving, warrior.

If Nazism had taken hold in Argentina after WWII, would we have tolerated it as "merely a nuisance"?

Keep saying it!
So you 'cure' a cancer within a monster. You still have the monster.
There is no place in this world for the monster-for it will forever be what it is: a cesspool that breeds evil.

I believe "wideawake" is correct---Schwartz is a practitioner of Sufi Islam. I believe he also writes fairly regularly for "The Weekly Standard".

Just refer back to my comment in post number 9: Schwartz' affiliation with the cult of death, Sufi or otherwise, indicates that he isn't thinking straight, and Weekly Standard or otherwise, he should be politely dismissed. Islime is by its nature intolerant, and that derives from its foundational words (Koran, Hadiths, Sunnah). Intolerance that is systemic and built in BY DEFINITION is not possible to be removed, nor moderated. As much as I enjoy Schwartz' writings, as well as those of Daniel Pipes, their constant exhortations to support islime-ic "moderates" are starting to ring hollow. In islime, those who deviate from the ravings of the pedophile phalse prophet are viewed as apostate, and as subject to death as a Christian or Jew who refuses dhimma....and so-called "moderate" muslimes are viewed as apostate.

So again I ask, why should we pay any attention to Schwartz beyond his periodic statements of the obvious?

The piquant twist is that Stephen Schwartz is a convert to Islam. He is a self-avowed "Jew-for-Allah" who has taken to calling himself Suleyman Ahmad, but he keeps this significant fact concealed from his readers. Why? He provides the answer, too:

"Since accepting Islam, I have proceeded carefully in informing my friends, neighbours, co-workers, and others . . . I want to proceed in a way that will do the most for the welfare of the Ummah and for better relations between all believers in la ilaha illallah."

Since "the welfare of the Ummah" is his main motive, everything is allowed, including lies and slanders.

Please keep in mind that the Serbian "paramilitary forces" are nothing more than Communist thugs who cut their teeth repressing the Serbian Orthodox Church. I know you weren't attempting to lump the Serbian Christians in with that group, but there are some on Free Republic whose anti-Serb hatreds run so deep that they find it easy to ignore that distinction.

They're usually the ones who run in circles squawking "Milosevic! Srebrenica! Milosevic! Srebrenica! Milosevic! Srebrenica!"

Neither of which had anything to do with the Serbian Christians whose ancient churches in Kosovo are being lost to the world at the hands of the Soros-supported Islamofascists.

About the Balkens has always been, there more than enough blame to go around to tar everyone there.
My problem is with those that portray ALL Serbs as pure as the driven snow and ALL Muslims as evil incarnate.

While certain folks certainly accuse anyone who would dare post anything in support of any Serb on the face of the planet of taking that sort of stance, the truth is that most of the pro-Serb posters on FR simply challenge the concept that all Serbs are "evil incarnate" and do not deserve justice in any form. These are the folks who just can't bring themselves to condemn the burning of the Serbian Churches in Kosovo, for instance.

You'll also find those same folks going to great lengths to avoid accusing any Muhammedans of any wrongdoing in the Balkans regardless of the evidence.

I guess you don't understand Wahhabism. It IS the Syphilis of Islam. Christians, Jews and Muslims HAVE coexisted peacefully in the past, but Wahhabism and the other fanatic cults which preceeded and accompanied it, have changed the face of contemporary Islam.

Not all Muslims are haters of the west and non-Muslims, but all Wahhabists are. Wahhabism is anti-American, anti-western, anti-Christian, ant-Jewish. Its totally evil and those who practise it are either totally evil or they are superficial Wahhabists, cynically covering their feelings with a thin veneer to maintain status.

And the WORST thing about Wahhabism is the fact we feed it with our petro dollars. The reason that Saudi Sheiks walk hand in hand with American presidents is because they need American money to fund their terror machine.

Sufism and other moderate forms of Islam are just as proscribed in Saudi Arabia as Christianity and Judaism. The seizure of power in Saudi Arabia by the Wahhabist Saud clan was accompanied by the massacre of thousands of non-Wahhabist Muslims.
