Liberals in the media like to celebrate their "courage." Courage is when they attack Chrisitans, their social enemmies and Republicans, their political enemies. They call it "cutting edge." But don't expect them to attack Muslim practices of atrosity and oppression because they are really not that cutting edge nor courageous.

Thanks DS... this line needs repeating too: Meanwhile, querulous Americans still reliant on traditional media are left in the kind of darkness admired by Islamic states.

The organizers intention all along.

Those who side with them, whether they know it or not or not, are helping them implement aspects of sharia so the true nature of the mohammad and his deeds stay in the dark.

This is how islam and sharia works.. the power structure is base on fear, intimidation, and ignorance.

It's the way the "nomenclatura" of the islamic world wield power over their slaves and keep them under their control.

I do not intend to be a slave to evil cult of islam ever again.

Assuming Christianity is God's true teaching, and I do. Then attacking God would only involve attacking Christianity. It would in fact be counter productive to attack false religions.

Profound insight bump!

This is the problem:

Islamic imperialism, which is fundamental and intrinsic to Islam, has become aggressive because the Islamic world has become more powerful and the Western world is in disarray.

Part of Western disarray includes the assumption that Islam must be accorded extraordinary respect and that Muslims must not be offended in any way, because Westerners are afraid of Muslims and of offending them and because Islam is still somewhat foreign and mysterious to Westerners and so is the Muslims' fanatical devotion to it.

Muslims know this, and this intensifies their imperialistic aggression.

Westerners are afraid even to acknowledge that this is true. Muslims know this also.

The world is experiencing a clash of civilizations, a clash of the Islamic World with the Western World. Many Western Leftists refuse to acknowledge this also.

Much of the Western disarray is due to denial and hubris. These are particularly endemic in the Leftist enclaves of the West and among Western Leftists. They cannot take meaningful action to approach any solution to the problem because they are so blinded and confused by hubris and denial.

The first step toward a solution to a problem is acknowledging that a problem exists. Westerners have done this.

The second step is defining the problem. Westerners have not been able to do this.

Muslims have the advantage of clarity. They know exactly what problems they face and what their plan of attack is.

What I don't understand is why the elite and those in power refuse to believe what we are facing.

Truth is very un PC I guess, and many would rather die than face it. Just like every other time in history.

Thanks, Tol. I think that a big part of the problem is that Westerners in general are afraid to acknowledge that they are afraid of Islam and of Muslims. A large percentage of the world's population is Muslim. Muslims, even "moderate Muslims", tend to be fanatically devoted to Islam. Islam is incompatible with Western Civilization and is threatened by it, and Muslims (just how many Muslims is unknown) openly threaten to destroy Western Civilization and Western nations. Muslim fanaticism is baffling and frightening to Westerners, and everywhere Islam spreads, violence follows it; Westerners are reluctant to admit this. And Westerners don't know how to approach such a huge and difficult problem. It's a big one! We've got a tiger by the tail.

The rage is already subsiding. The Iranian mullahs are probably looking at the results of this trumped up rage and wondering why only a few thousand outraged moslems showed up and the rest of the 1.2 billion moslems are looking around kind of perplexed and embarrassed.
