We're rascists if we say that Islam is not helping the peace process, but they are not if they advocate (and practice) the killing of Jews.

I'll tell you what, when Israelis start strolling into Cafe's in downtown Damascus and blowing up innocent women and children, I'll be prepared to start listening to the lying sacks of pig excerement an MEMRI.

To hell with these people.

Title is misleading. Muslims did not "try" to silence him. They succeeded.

Al-Khadry concluded his rant by repeating his Nazi allegation and accusing me of using “made-up evidence” to create “a crisis of Muslim presence that could be dealt with in one of very limited ways, 1) Mass deportations, 2) Sterilization (for lack of Judeo-Christian purity, 3) Incarceration, 4) Mass Murder.”

Like the liberal/left, the rabid Islamics have a way of projecting their own behavior, what they would do, on the rest of us.

Note well what he says, for if ever in power to make the decisions, I believe this is EXACTLY what a hardline, developing ISlamic state in Europe...or here...would ultimately do.

In the aftermath of the ritualistic near-decapitation of Theo van Gogh in Amsterdam, as well as the death threats and frivolous “hate-crime” lawsuits directed against honest scholars writing about Islamic extremism, some Muslims and their western sympathizers appear determined to control, by fair means or foul, what is said and written about Islam in the West.

Yep. Just ask Michael Graham about his CAIR experience...

Any additional background information on Professor Mohamad Al-Khadry of West Virginia University? Any additional background on Richard L. Rubenstein?

Thanks for the post.

By linguistic slight-of-hand, ADC further distorted my meaning by a simple change of tense. Mindful of the 732 C.E. Battle of Tours, the 1453 conquest of Constantinople, the 1571 Battle of Lepanto, and the Turkish siege of Vienna in 1683, I described Islam as having been “Christianity’s greatest adversary. In ADC’s letter that objective historical statement is changed to Islam is Christianity’s greatest adversary.

A difference without distinction...

Saudi Arabia - Conversion by a Muslim to another religion is punishable by death. Bibles are illegal. Churches are illegal.

Yemen - Bans proselytizing by non-Muslims and forbids conversions. The Government does not allow the building of new non-Muslim places of worship.

Kuwait - Registration and licensing of religious groups. Members of religions not sanctioned in the Koran may not build places of worship. Prohibits organized religious education for religions other than Islam.

Egypt - Islam is the official state religion and primary source of legislation. Accordingly, religious practices that conflict with Islamic law are prohibited. Muslims may face legal problems if they convert to another faith. Requires non-Muslims to obtain what is now a presidential decree to build a place of worship.

Algeria - The law prohibits public assembly for purposes of practicing a faith other than Islam. Non-Islamic proselytizing is illegal, and the Government restricts the importation of non-Islamic literature for distribution.

Jordan - Has the death penalty for any Muslim selling land to a Jew.

Sudan - Conversion by a Muslim to another religion is punishable by death.

Pakistan - Conversion by a Muslim to another religion is punishable by death. Bans proselytizing by non-Muslims. Christians regularly put in prison for charges of blasphemy.

“a crisis of Muslim presence that could be dealt with in one of very limited ways, 1) Mass deportations, 2) Sterilization (for lack of Judeo-Christian purity, 3) Incarceration, 4) Mass Murder.”

2) wouldn't seem to accomplish much, 3) would be too expensive, 4) would be too messy and many innocent people would also have to die.

I got to check out the MEMRI site. Although I'm sure I already know what the religion of peace is saying in those sermon's at mosques.

It seems that in life all roads converge into only two paths...a high road and a low one.

Real Jews and real Christians and all decent and honest people take the high road, and muslims and atheists (true Democrats) take the low.

I also checked the MEMRI site. The diaspora video with the blood libel is very disturbing and nasty propaganda. If this is what is being fed to local Moslem populations then clearly the Middle East will remain a tinderbox for years. It also suggests that in order to root it out and prevent a second holocaust, the US and UK need to bring tolerance and democracy to Iraq.
What a way to start the day!

When did a religious designation become a race?
