Nifty piece imho, showing why moderate Islamists are as great a threat as those conducting violent jihad.

...showing why moderate Islamists are as great a threat as those conducting violent jihad.

I believe that the term MODERATE ISLAMIST is an oxymoron. An undefind state..as does the author.

[johnqueuepublic]

Couldnt agree more.

From the article...."The Koran, the Muslim book of scripture, should be the highest authority in America, and Islam the only accepted religion on Earth."

Over my dead body!

"Islam isn't in America to be equal to any other faiths, but to become dominant. The Koran, the Muslim book of scripture, should be the highest authority in America, and Islam the only accepted religion on Earth."

I would relieve myself on his dead body.

Inside the mosque, there are no moderate Muslims.........

[johnqueuepublic]

I have similar feelings, unfortunately the PC crowd running the GOP is clueless.

[johnqueuepublic]

You noticed that did you?

[Red Badger]

The Koran is a nice piece of toilet paper............

[sageb1]

"The non-violent, relentless pressure of the cultural/legal jihad thus complements the violent."

The cultural/legal jihad is the more dangerous of the two, as it operates under the radar of the general (uninformed) public. Excellent article.

It's painfully obvious that if the so-called moderate Muslims existed, they would be more outraged at the things being done by members of their own so-called religion. Since the early 80's Islam has grown to become the number one terrorist breeding tank on earth. Their purpose is not political,as the MSM and, sadly, our own government, would have us believe. It's not about economic reality , i.e., the poor or have-nots, nor is it about nationalism, ideology or even world politics. It's about religion. They kill in the name of their false god and swear to spread their cancerous filth to every corner of the globe until only they remain. Religious fervor is a dangerous tool when wielded by infantile minds...........

"The Koran is a nice piece of toilet paper............"

Personally, it gives me a bad rash.

Christian missionarys never forced religion on any people with a threat of death if they didn't convert.
Islam is totally opposite. And arrogant in their intentions. Convert or die.

I choose death......them first.

[johnqueuepublic]

Thanks, will pass that along to the authors.

I would slightly disagree, if you read what Pipes says, Islamism is really no different than Nazism or Communism, sure there is a religious cloack that it's wrapped in, but the domination of a nation by sharia seems to me to be both a political as well as religious goal.

[johnqueuepublic]

One only has to look at the [non] extent of religious freedom in the Muslim world to see the difference between Christianity and Islam.

Just today, the US government began delivering F-16 fighter jets to Pakistan:
US delivers two F-16s to Pakistan
Islamabad, December 13, 2005

The United States on Tuesday delivered two F-16 fighter planes to Pakistan, the country's air force said.

"The two F-16s are of the same category, which are already operating with Pakistan Air Force," it said in a statement.

The purchase of these F-16s from the US was finalised a few months ago, it said.

Pakistan was expected to buy 75 F-16s from the US in a multibillion-dollar deal. However, the two countries reached an understanding in early November, allowing Islamabad to delay it at least until April next year.

The two planes, which have been flown to Islamabad on Tuesday, are upgraded versions of the old aircraft that Pakistan had received in the 1980s and would be added to the existing fleet of more than 30 F-16s.

If Hitler had made Nazism an official religon, would we have won WW2?

A moderate Muslim is one who is content to let a radical Muslim cut off somebody's head.

It's not about economic reality , i.e., the poor or have-nots, nor is it about nationalism, ideology or even world politics. It's about religion.


I completely agree with this view that a barbaric religious fervor is at the heart of this, plain and simple. Your point is both profound and yet obvious for all to understand...and yet it seems lost in a mire of analysis. Case and point: Iran's president makes inflammatory, provocative speeches, and yet we analyze his statements to death. The West has a hard time taking political statements at face value; we assume all politicians don't really mean what they say; we assume all politicians have ulterior motives. But this time he DID mean it. He meant it LITERALLY.

Comparisons to communism and fascism mostly muddle our understanding of something so barbarically simple, blunt and dangerous because there IS no mask or front here. This is not communism cloaked in environmentalism. We better toughen ourselves and remove the cataracts from our eyes or we're in for terrible and ugly surprises.
