What We Should Expect from Muslims
http://www.aei.org/publications/filter.all,pubID.22827/pub_detail.asp ^ | July 2005 | David Frum

Western Muslims feel badly misunderstood. The vast majority of them utterly abhor terrorism against the countries in which they live. And yet they sense suspicion from their fellow citizens.

Meanwhile, those fellow citizens are feeling increasing frustration with their Muslim neighbors. Since 9/11, security forces have foiled some 40 major plots against Western nations. Many if not most of those plots have been the work of local Muslims. Hundreds of European Muslims have journeyed to join the insurgents in Iraq. Extremist preachers exploit the freedom of Western societies to incite terrorism against them.

Moderate Western Muslims--and careful politicians--prefer not to acknowledge this reality. But euphemism is breeding resentment on all sides. We'd all benefit from speaking clearly. Let us be explicit about what we expect from Muslim communities:

The moderates simply must kill every last extremest and only then get back in touch.

If you read this article it clearly states the intent of Islam here in the USA. They intend to dominate us and subject us to the Koran weather we like it or not.
OK, So how am I supposed to be good with this stated intent.
No, no now, not ever. We have the second amendment here and the knowledge of our God given right to stop you by what ever means necessary.
It is time that the people of our great nation take heed to the stated intent of the Islamic religion. If we need to purge our lands of Muslims to ensure our Christian survival, then let's get started. As long as their holy men continue to threaten our lives, and our way of life, then I think we need to believe them and react accordingly to insure our own survival.

Frum's list of what they should do is, in fact, a list of what makes them Muslims. Ergo, follow his list and stop being a Muslim.

Never hachee, Liberace.

To properly frame this issue, kindly view this file first- allow it time to load, it is well worth it:

...and in the words of my old friend from long-lost boards, ALOHA RONNIE-- Never Forget...

I simply don't give rip anymore what these creatures think, feel, or fear anymore:

Islam, The Alleged Religion of Peace® ( TARP™ )? Click this picture:

No, I am not exaggerating. Click the pic, go to "last," and read backwards.
If you are not informed about this stuff, you will be made sick. If you are informed, you will be made mad, all over again.

Worse than being an infidel is being an apostate.

Acknowledge Reality; accept Responsibility

They are afraid they will be killed.

Isolate and Exclude Extremists

They are afraid they will be killed

Cooperate actively with police and security services

They are afraid they will be killed

Stop carving out special exemptions

They are afraid they will be killed.

Accept Islam's status as one religion among equals

They are afraid they will be killed.

NOW HOW DO WE KNOW THAT???

Everywhere I look where muslims have settled they think to think they should be allowed their own little lands and not integrate into the society they settle into.

No, their actions speak way louder than their cheap words.

So called moderate Muslims should be asked clearly: Are you seeking the imposition of Sharia law in (fill in the name of your country)?

If they can not answer quickly and directly "No", then they are siding with the terrorists.
