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.

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!

[Red Badger]

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

[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.

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

[Elsie]

The first item "NC: JUDGE DISMISSES LAWSUIT INVOLVING COURTROOM OATHS," personifies the attitude represented by Islam's leading edge, that U.S. customs, legal tradition and structure should be overturned, in this case to the extent of allowing anyone claiming to be a Muslim to be sworn in at court proceedings on a Quran instead of a Bible. Few examples demonstrate in such a black-and-white manner the fundamental way in which these groups reject this society. Taking a page from the ACLU their argument turns on a twisted interpretation of the Establishment Clause since, "only one book qualifies as 'Holy Scriptures."

The degree to which this society would have to reject its traditions in order to accept the absurdity of using a Quran during the swearing in process shows how thoroughly such groups reject the prevailing culture.

This is really a non-issue.

We have, for years, allowed those who did NOT wish to 'swear on the Bible' merely affirm that they were, indeed, going to tell the truth in testifying.

Even some Christians do this; basing their actions on:

NIV Matthew 5:34-37
34. But I tell you, Do not swear at all: either by heaven, for it is God's throne;
35. or by the earth, for it is his footstool; or by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the Great King.
36. And do not swear by your head, for you cannot make even one hair white or black.
37. Simply let your `Yes' be `Yes,' and your `No,' `No'; anything beyond this comes from the evil one.

NIV Hebrews 6:16
Men swear by someone greater than themselves, and the oath confirms what is said and puts an end to all argument.

NIV James 5:12
Above all, my brothers, do not swear--not by heaven or by earth or by anything else. Let your "Yes" be yes, and your "No," no, or you will be condemned.
