I am familiar with "The River War" and the writings of Churchill.

My reference was to this board: Free Republic.

And, yes, I am familiar with the practice of taqiyyah and kitman. But I am not prepared to believe that they universally apply to all Islamics in all of their relationships with the West and Westerners. Not any more than I am willing to believe that capital punishment and war are proscribed by the Ten Commandments -- though some Christians believe that it is.

Just as there are many different readings of The Bible, I understand there are basically four schools of interpretation of the Koran. Only one of them is jihadist and necessarily inimical to all other cultures (including other Muslims, obviously).

"Holy Hypocracy" is part of all branches of Islam, as I read them. Therefore, I remain convinced that Islam and its believers are inherently antithetical to Judeo-Christian based Western societies.

History, alas seems to support my position. In this debate I wish the facts were otherwise, as I would like to be proven wrong.
