"... a little wider view of history."

Or a fictional one.

Interesting that the Islamophile is on second. It should have been the other way around.

"... Therefore, I would never allow an "Islamic" state to be formed where the U.S. used force to overthrow a hostile government. Of course, the people would be free to personally subscribe to Islamic belief and morality, but it would not be enshrined in law. All beliefs would be allowed. This is what I think is necessary to pacify that troubled part of the world..."

Yup! You're naive all right. But that's OK. There are NO illusions about Nuclear Weapons. When it all goes down, the USA will do it right, this time! This time IS, the last time.

Stay well armed and safe...............FRegards

Ultimately all history is false. Only outright fiction is true.

Apparently Karen Armstrong is describing an Islam that exists only in her peace filled fantasies of the Prophet. It does NOT describe the death cult he founded that is practiced by hundreds of thousands world wide.

Great news! I just checked www.heritage.org, and found they have the Robert Spencer segment available on the Internet. Visit: http://www.heritage.org/Press/Events/ev111406a.cfm

Please give this wide circulation.

I'm watching the Karen Armstrong segment.
She seems to be in a servile ecstacy in explaining what a fantastic
guy Mohammed was.

Aside from being a suck-up to the Islamics, the affectations in
her delivery are good for a couple of chuckles.

She needs to watch the PBS show that appeared soon after 9-11 on Mohammed.
I think it was titled something like "Legacy of A Prophet".
Although an apologist puff-piece funded by Muslims (Saudis), it
revealed Mohammed to be a good leader of thugs, great in acuquisitions
and having assistants that pulled his chestnuts out of the fire a
few times.
In other words, a smart, lucky guy.
Sort of like L. Ron Hubbard without a scimitar.
