One is talking about not "alienating" but annihilating, although it could be expected that some alienation would accompany the process.
You mean Islam has been absorbed by any culture it's come in contact with. It's been absorbed by which culture...? Any...?
Didn't think so.....
Sorry charlie. The meme of Islam will not stop until it subjugates all existence or is wiped out totally. Your choice.
I'm with Tancredo on this.
The Ummah must be made to understand that if they neither squelch their fanatics nor differentiate themselves from them sufficiently for us to squelch their fanatics with precision, then the entire Ummah will perforce need to be penalized by draconian measures made imprecise by the Ummah's own lack of cooperation.
Visualize the glassy plain where Mecca and Medina once stood.
Guess the author never picked up a Koran, and read the vile filth within it's pages.
More?
Who was the first?
It'd be real close.
Apples and oranges. The Vatican badly mismanaged the pedophilia scandal. Mecca is the hub of a religion that in many places openly promotes the destruction of Israel, beheading of infidels and their allies, funding of Madrasses that recruit and train terrorists, funds terrorist groups like Hamas, Hezbullah, Islamic Jihad, Al Qaeda, etc, etc, etc.
No, the difference is one religion tells everyone who isn't they should die...it's IN the Koran, and the christian / catholic churches do not teach its okay for Priests to screw little boys or each other.
Christian dogma does not demand your death if you don't believe. It merely says pray for those who don't, not BLOW THEM TO HELL AND GONE.
Tom Tancredo is a solid conservative and a loyal Republican. He is a pro-life, pro-military defense, supports tax reform and limited government. Tancredo also believes our borders should be sealed, employers who hire illegals should be prosecuted and illegals aren't entitled to government welfare handouts.
Islam calls for the extermination of infidels (non-Muslims).
The Catholic Church does not call for pedophilia.
The author is apparently addle-brained to not see that obvious distinction.
Destroying a 'religion' that has declared war on the world-and other religions- since it's inception is NOT the same as cleaning up a religion whose clerics are DISOBEYING their religion. Muslims are OBEYING theirs.
BIG difference.
I'm Catholic-and I am for the total cleansing of the Church-pitching out and prosecuting ALL priests who are having sex with children and EACH OTHER.
In the case of Catholicism-we can get rid of the bad priests, the religion doesn't condone what they are doing.
To cleanse Islam you have to eliminate the Koran( or most of it)along with its insane clerics, and 'extremists' and...well, see the difference???
And writing for the JWR, that's rather shocking!
I see James Lileks has embraced the ideology of the politically stupid (e.g., the Politically Correct). Islam is a dangerous cult! Only a fool (or one of Islam's brainwashed zombies) would believe otherwise.
The article by "Jimmy Lilyeeks" isn't worth much...He says we "need" more big name mullahs standing against the radicals....Won't happen, even if a few stood up they would be killed...The author is in denial, and our enemy must know that our reaction will be strong....I say give them a real reason to be pissed AND a fear of what we'll do...For fifteen hundred years nothing else has worked...
