The sad fact is that our ignorance of history and our refusal to confront Islam and deal with it will be our fate.
A dang good book on this - I read it cover to cover and wished it had not ended - well written and fun to read:
Jihad in the West: Muslim Conquests from the 7th to the 21st Centuries (Hardcover) by Paul Fregosi .
It give the history of Islamic attempts to conquer Europe, with lots of dates, battles and names. This is just the sort of chronological history that is usually taken as the archetypal boring read. Fregosi has a talent for enjoyable reading.
The Islam have been trying to kill or enslave all of the rest of humanity for over 1300 years now. Perhaps it is the combination of state and religion, which concentrates power even more than usual in the hands of a few. Whatever it is, it is a deadly cancer on human history.
We are no where close to fighting back with the vigor required to overcome it.

Here are a few that would be shocking to the author and have significant meaning to any Replayer, a grandchild of this generation. Sorry so morbid.
"Freedom through sacrifice"
"Freedom isn't free"
"Teach children genocide"
"Mercifully euthanize progeny"
"Liberty or death"
"Euthanasia spares suffering"
"Nuke'em for morbid"

I know the 3 words. A great prophet once spoke them. The great prophet's name: Fred G. Sanford. The words: "You big dummy".

Three words Grady would say, "Th..Tha...That'ssss not nice."

I really want to thank you for bumping this thread. I missed this article, and the follow on article. A deep shame, actually, since I followed a lot of his messages over the years, and haven't thought about reading them in recent times.
What a big mistake that was. Wow, what a great story, and what a slashing attack upon the closed minded idiots of the world.
Thank you!

Read this.
And know that I, personally, would gladly die to kill one Islamic in such a society. By sword, gun, knife, or -- yes -- suicide belt, I would take as many with me as I could before I passed on.
Is life really so sweet that one must live in utter slavery to an evil religion?
I say not. Some things are worse than death.
