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.

Eastern turkey near the Iranian/Iraqi borders is a fundamentalist breeding ground. The clerics in that region preach a lot of hate.
That area should never, EVER be allowed to join the EU.
Europe has to look forward to their priests being murdered and nuns being stoned to death if they allow Turkey into the EU.
I don't think the civilized world has yet come to terms with the magnitude of the problem. You are basically talking about millions of people who will have to be contained and dealt with. How can you do this without looking like a Nazi? You probably can't. Reaching consensus on such a thing will be near impossible. But eventually, if current trends continue, it will be a matter of survival.
Crucifixes, Bibles, Star of Davids, Hinduism (BIG no-no as they are "mushrikun" polytheists), Buddhism ("shirk" idolaters) as it's is all rejection of the shahadah "there is no god but allah and mohamMAD is his messenger." Human rights, equality between the sexes, the concept of "live and let live," asking for your land back after a muslim have beheaded your kin and stolen it, representing living forms, relaxing to have a beer, refusing to submit or be slaughtered, all come to mind. Quite a slippery slope here.
Above all... do not blaspheme against mohammad or reveal the truth about the man, his brutality or perversions, because its the foundation all the lies and the house of cards is based on. Enforcing elements of sharia in the west seems to be the answer to these clowns. It has the added benefit of leaving encouragement and a historical record of muslim settlements and achievements so the land can be claimed in jihad in years to come.

Yes, it was a quote from another poster I sent you because it seemed relevant to your comment re the options presented here.
Oh, I now understand that it is a quote from someone else. Actually, that of which we dare not speak, is more horrific than the mere threat of thermonuclear annihilation. The socialists, communists, and Marxists fear this weapon. It is so profound in its effectiveness that there is no mention of it in the Geneva Convention text.
bttt
none of this matters. there is simply too much money involved to end the war on terror by actually going after muslim terrorists.
since american taxpayers provide terrorists with money, arms, and the wherewithall to terrorize the world...and then the american govt gets to create new laws limiting freedom for americans. in addition to increasing defense and civilian contracts associated with the bogus war on terror...it's a win win for all those in the loop which includes the terrorists.
rule one: follow the money
rule two: follow the money
rule three: follow the money
besides cheap labor, which western europe seems to get anyway, I don't see a single reason for Turkey to become a member of the EU.
Their economy is always in the toilet. Unemployment rate that makes France look good. Lots of tribal sub-human savages living like its the 7th century in the eastern part of the country. Population close to 70 million people. Most who identify more with the middle-east than europe. Government that is moving backwards in democracy and rights of women.
