Great article. Thanks for the ping.
This may have been a great religion once, but it's been hijacked, just like the president says.
I've come to conclude it's no longer a religion but an army disguised as a religion.
Thanks for the ping.
Bttt.
Battle (of Vienna 1683)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Vienna
At 4 in the morning, on September 12, the Austrian army on the left, and the German forces in the center moved forward, in an attack (which was aimed at preventing another long siege) against the Turks. Mustafa Pasha launched a counter-attack, with most of his force. Then the Polish infantry launched a massive assault upon the right flank. After 12 hours of fighting, Sobieski's Polish force held the high ground on the right.
At about five o'clock in the afternoon, four cavalry groups, one of them Austrian-German, and the other three composed of Polish hussars, totaling 20,000 men in all and led by the Polish king, charged down the hills. In the confusion, they made straight for the Ottoman camps, while the Vienna garrison sallied out of its defenses, and joined in the assault. In less than three hours, the Polish forces won the battle, as the Turkish army beat a hasty retreat to the south and east.
The Turks lost about 15,000 men in the fighting, compared to approximately 4,000 for the Habsburg-Polish forces.
(The battle marked the turning point in the 300-year struggle between the forces of the Central European kingdoms, and the Ottoman Empire.)
Another bump.
If we don't stand up and stop this now.... America will become another EUrabia and history will repeat itself:
(Note these polls will reflect only those who are brave or stupid enough to admit their thoughts to the kuffar)
UK poll: 37% of Muslims in Britain think British Jews are a "legitimate target"
40% of (British)Muslims want sharia law in UK
'The day is coming when British Muslims form a state within a state.'
The Saudis have "radicalized" 80% of US mosques with their cash and wahabbi brand of salafyism (see here and here ) and are doing the same in many other nations.
THIS IS GOING TO BE THE CONTENDER FOR THE FACE OF "MAINSTREAM ISLAM"
It spreading as we speak. Now, when do we wake up and do something about it?
If the PC crowd, apologists and useful idiots tie our hands at home, we have to take the battle to its source and neutralize it there.
All roads lead back to Mecca and the current "custodians."
Thanks for the heads up to this good read.

BTTT
Bbbbbbbut it's only the 80% who are giving the other 20% a bad name. < / sarcasam>
Bttt.
This is a must read and tells the TRUTH about islam and what we are up against!
Brigitte Gabriel nails it...
"The West has been wallowing in a state of ignorance and denial for thirty years as Muslim extremist perpetrated evil against innocent victims in the name of Allah." [...]
"Yet apathy is the weapon by which the West is committing suicide. Political correctness forms the shackles around our ankles, by which Islamists are leading us to our demise." [...]
"Their grievance is our democratic process where the rule of law comes from the voices of many not that of just one prophet. It is the respect we instill in our children towards all religions. It is the equality we grant each other as human beings sharing a planet and striving to make the world a better place for all humanity. Their grievance is the kindness and respect a man shows a woman, the justice we practice as equals under the law, and the mercy we grant our enemy.
Where are the leaders in this Country that will stand up to this threat? Why are we appeasing our enemy?
Thanks for the ping, BG.
I find myself so conflicted on this issue. On the one hand, I call this a holy war and that term encompasses every Islamic citizen alive. On the other, I see the people of Iraq discovering freedom and I wonder if it's possible to spread that concept.
I think it may be too early to tell....
I don't think they value freedom the same way as we. Rather, I tend to think that the ideas of political, economic and religious freedom are not so important.
Their religion IS their politics. And as far as economic freedom, I have heard a number of folks who have been to Arabia. From what they tell me, a handshake from an Arab is just about worthless.
We've always heard about the "cunning" of an Arab trader.
