I agree. Personally, I don't think I need to forgive. That's a particularly Christian thing (to me) and I'm not Christian. But I can appreciate it in someone else.
My feeling (after crying so much for this boy that I had to turn away from the computer), is that we should kill them all. I am trying to be better than that; that's why I think this child is a better person, spiritually, than I am, but my gut feeling is to get rid of them all, one way or another (no muslim immigration, war on terror, whatever).
HHMMmmm....
That's the same sentiment the Muslim's have for us!
You have just hit the nail on the head! As Santayana reminds us: "Those who do not learn from history are forced to repeat it."
As Americans, we must WAKEUP and do it soon! We must enact laws that will inhibit the further immigration of Muslims to our country. In his book, Slavery, Terrorism & Islam, the Historical Roots and Contemporary Threat , Peter Hammond notes:
The persecution of Christians by Muslims has become a taboo subject in Western circles. Over thirteen centuries of religious discrimination and persecution, causing the suffering, oppression, murder and enslavement of countless millions has been buried under a thick whitewash of myths of “Islamic tolerance”. The deceit, cowardice and silence of all too many Western journalists and academics continues to facilitate the religious discrimination and persecutions of radical Muslims to this day.The intellectual dishonesty of those Westerners who engage in academic gymnastics to justify the invasion of other people's lands; the looting, pillaging, raping, murdering and enslaving of whole peoples, needs to be exposed. The hypocrisy of those who justify the military aggression of Muslims, but condemn those who inflicted defeats upon these Muslim invaders needs to be challenged. The fiction that “Jihad has never been an aggressive, but only a defensive concept”, should be dismissed with the contempt that such deception deserves. What were Saudi Arabians defending in Spain?
He also provides a timeline of how immigrant Muslims slowly progress in imposing their Sharia laws on their adopted country. (Sorry, I have that timeline at work.) It is absolutely frightening! They begin slowly and 'peacefully', asking for equal rights. (We've seen this in Michigan, where they were successful in having one community enact legislation allowing them to erect a loudspeaker on their local mosque to call Muslims to prayer. Meanwhile, the christian churches are now banned from sounding their carillons. The next law they will seek to pass is that of having foods labeled as 'halal'. And it progresses slowly from there. He cites examples of countries that have accomodated these 'small' requests and how, over the course of time, the demands grow, along with the violence - i.e. the riots in Paris this year.
Proportionately speaking, here in the US, the Muslim population is still small enough that we have not had to deal with riots. But these prayerful Muslims reproduce like rabbits in order to grow their ranks and justify their demands. It is just a matter of time.
What can we do to stop this?
