The Islamic Pandora’s Box has been opened and no amount of energy spent trying to push the true face of Islam back in will be successful. The inherent violence, intolerance, and inbred anger of Islam is now out for all to see. The world is watching and the “handful of terrorists who have high-jacked a peaceful religion” doesn’t pass the “laugh test” any longer.
An Islamic mob of over 500 marched through the streets of Knightsbridge, England, chanting, “Massacre those who insult Islam!” and issued warnings of further terror attacks by screaming, "Britain, you will pay, 7/7 on its way." Embassies have been burned. Nearly 50,000 Muslims took to the streets in Sudan chanting, “"We are ready to die in defense of you our beloved prophet." A Catholic priest has been killed, and churches burned. These people are not “terrorists,” but supposedly the average peace-loving Muslim. It doesn’t seem take much to turn a “peaceful” Muslim into a rampaging killer.
All of this chaos and destruction is over a few editorial cartoons.
The threats of kidnappings, riots, and boycotts are coming from Muslims all over the world. Diplomatic action against Denmark has been recommended by the Egyptian ambassador. Muslims in Norway are trying to pass laws that anything short of praise for Islam should be considered blasphemy and severely punished. The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) felt it had the right to dictate to the president of the United States concerning which terms would be acceptable when referring to Islam in the State of the Union Address.
Islamic hysteria is in full voice to bend the world to Islam’s will. Of course, Islam never considers as blasphemy the daily insults to Jews or Christians. Papers all over the Middle East and on the Islamic web sites display cartoons depicting Jews and Christians as pigs and monkeys and as murderous infidels butchering children with swords in the shape of a swastika. Cartoons showing the attack on America on 9/11 are very popular. Apparently, the death of 3000 people is not something Islam finds offensive.
Muslims lose touch with reality after being brought to a fever pitch by the imams and mullahs, especially during Friday prayers. Men often explode out of the mosque looking for someone to kill to ease their Islamic rage against an infidel world. Muslims feel Islam has been slighted and the world must pay. If these raging Muslims can’t find the guilty person to punish, any non-Muslim in their path will do.
What constitutes an insult to Islam? Basically, any non-Muslim is an insult to Islam. If someone does not believe that Mohammed was a prophet, that is considered an insult in Islam. Uttering any doubts that the Quran is not a perfect book written by God through Mohammed, is considered an insult to Islam. Depicting any picture of Mohammed is considered an insult to Islam. It doesn’t take much to trigger mass hysteria and Islamic mobs screaming, “Death to the world.”
The artists who made the editorial cartoons that have set off this hate-fest are now in hiding, fearing that they will end up as Theo Van Gogh who had his throat slit and a knife left sticking out of his chest on a public street in broad daylight. Islam will not forget. These cartoonists are now dead-men-walking and they know that carefree walks in park are now a thing of the past.
An interesting twist is that a Jordanian newspaper also published the cartoons and the editor was promptly arrested. Mr. Momani stated that he wanted Muslims to stop and think about how the world is now viewing Islam. The poor man asked the leaders of Islam to be reasonable. As a Muslim himself, he should have known better. This brave editor pleaded: "What brings more prejudice against Islam, these caricatures or pictures of a hostage-taker slashing the throat of his victim in front of the cameras or a suicide bomber who blows himself up during a wedding ceremony in Amman?"
As a Muslim, Mr. Momani should have realized that in the eyes of Islam the beheaders and bombers are heroes who praise Allah with their good work. But a cartoon with Mohammed claiming paradise is running out of virgins is an unforgivable sin. Butchers of innocent hostages are held in high esteem in Islam but a leader in the new Hamas government of the Palestinians had this to say to an Italian paper about the cartoons: “The cartoonists should be punished by death.”
Let’s summarize. Slit a man’s throat in the name of Allah for no reason at all—good work and Allah is pleased. Draw a cartoon about Islam—this is punishable by death. That, in a nutshell, is Islam.
The Syrian government has claimed that all the destruction could have been avoided if the Danish government had apologized for the terrible sin against Islam. While the paper that originally publish the cartoons has done just that, the Danish government refuses to cave in to Islamic threats. Nor should they.
In truth, no one should cower because of Islamic threats. The Danes have done nothing to apologize for and should stand their ground as should all the countries who have published the cartoons. In fact, The Danes and every country around the world should continue to publish them to show the world’s solidarity against Islam and for freedom of speech. Sooner or later, the daily staged rage-riots will exhaust Islam and force it to realize that Islam does not give orders to the world.
If there is anything good to come from all of the fury Islamics have put on full display for the world, it is that passive people, especially those in Europe, have now been witness to true Islam. We have all seen the terrorist arm of Islam while the gullible continued to cling to the idea that Islam is peaceful and accepting and tolerant. It is none of those things. Islam demands acceptance while accepting nothing. Islam demands tolerance while giving none. Islam claims it only wants peace in the world while starting wars and rioting and killing at the slightest perceived insult. Horrified Islamic religious leaders will attempt to downplay the violence knowing Islam has exposed its hateful nature, but it is too late.
At last, true Islam has shown its face to the world, and this time the world was watching.

Yes.
Was that muhammad?
You touch on a very serious question: what to do about it? With the hatred, lunacy and hysteria seemingly bred into all the people, what can be done to keep the hatred, lunacy and hysteria from being transferred to the next generation and the next?
It's a terrible thing to contemplate. Either way.
Well said, each and every word.
If anyone thinks you are joking, they should read Horowitz's "Unholy Alliance."
"Remember the photos of Muslims on 9/11 on the Jersey side of the river taking pictures and high fiving each other?"
I also remember the palestinians in the street on 9-11, joyously celebrating the WTC "kills".
Roger that! I feel the same way.
I like your tagline. It is similiar to President Reagan's:
"Communism is a form of insanity."
I think that both Muslims and the Democrats apply to that statement.
So where do we go from here?
I've often thought at least one step should be a total global blockade of the nations that sponsor Islamafascism (i.e., Muslim countries).
By that I mean:
(1) No country allows the immigration of individuals from these countries. Period. No exceptions.
(2) Muslim immigrants already abroad can remain in their host countries only under very stringent circumstances.
(3) Forced deportation back to the "Muslim world" will be achieved.
(4) Once the "Muslim world" is defined, outlaw all commercial travel to and from.
(5) Throw away the key.
There's a saying in Spanish: "The devil knows more for being old than for being the devil."
Welcome, geezer!
I remember the dancing,and thinking to myself-what a great spot for a cluster bomb.
I tend to agree with you, but don't blame Ms. Stock. She's probably trying to convince our pols, not the Freepers.
Everybody knows what must be done, but it is horrific and offends our sensibilities; therefore we dare not speak of it. Nonetheless, it must be done. Millions more will perish in the meantime. Islam is an ideology infinitely more sinister than Leninism and Nazism combined.
Obviously more than we have had. Why is the southern border still open? And the northern one, for that matter.
The priest was killed in a Turkish village by a teenager, according to Fox News reports this morning. Suspected but not confirmed links to cartoon hysteria.
I think it's time to use the nuclear arsenal. Take out their major religious cities. Same tactic that was used in Japan.
A city a day until the Imans issue a order to stand down. A horrible thing to do but I'm convinced it is necessary to preserve our way of life.
Apparently, the death of 3000 people is not something Islam finds offensive.
But Barbara, it's not like they were PEOPLE, they were
after all Kuffar, unbelievers, not really human at all....

You are obviously a young man.
It had these strange maniacal memobers of some unnamed sect. They were basically pure evil.
It just struck me that it is really about Islam they just wouldn't call it that.
