I don't want them to wear armbands or be confined to camps. I want them removed from this country, plain and simple. I don't care if they are naturalized citizens or citizens of immigrants or not. The supposed 'religion' is a disease of the worst kind and needs to be erradicated.

ATTAINING "CRITICAL MASS"
Among every four humans in the world, one of them is Muslim.
Islam is now the second largest religious group in France, Great Britain and USA!

There is no point in beating around the bush. The fact is that Islam is a militant, intolerant, incendiary religion whose adherents, whenever they establish "critical mass" of about 10 percent of a given population, begin to foment violence, revolt and Jihad --- in essence, a declaration of war on Western Civilization. A World War Three!

Battleground Europe...

Do the Math, Stupid!
Every Western woman in Europe is producing an average of 1.4 children. Every Muslim woman In the same countries is producing 3.6 children." The "youths" get ever more numerous, the non-youths get older. The fifty million Muslims of Europe will turn it into a Muslim continent within a few decades. (from Masada 2000)

Mark Steyn has an updated version of an old joke:

A ten dollar bill is in the middle of a crossroads. To the north, there is Santa Claus. To the west, there is the Tooth Fairy. To the east, there is a radical Muslim. To the south, there is a moderate Muslim.

Who reaches the ten dollar bill first?

Answer: the radical Muslim. All the others are mythical creatures.

They ARE here to kill us and to change our form of government. If they've changed their values, I'd like to see evidence of it. Verify but trust.

Jews weren't terrorizing people in Germany when they were ordered to wear armbands. The analogy is false

Slight difference, eh?

As a group they have not inspired much confidence for ability to do anything positive in the last 1500 years or so.

IGNORANCE SEEN AS KEY PROBLEM

Really? Methinks we've had a pretty good education over the past five years.

We're not "ignorant"...we're enlightened.

I forgot to add : Klein's hoax suggestions sound a LOT milder than what these vicious creatures really are doing to nonmoslems in places they're trying to conquer like the Sudan and the Molluccas...or in Egypt and other places where nonmoslems have been reduced to dhimmitude...maybe even parts of European countries where the native nonmoslem women are having to cover their heads or dye their hair blonde to avoid being harrassed, attacked, gangraped, and even scarred for life.

Yeah, that's it! It's just us poor old dumb crackers who aren't smart enough to understand the wonder that is Islam.

There is 'ignorance', but then there is "knowledge"

When a Leftist says you are "ignorant", what he really means is "you are not sufficiently indoctrinated into believing the Party line"

I think it's a joke I can remember for retelling purposes.

The war in Iraq has contributed to such perceptions.

It may have re-inforced prior perceptions that al-Rueters has decided to ignore:

9-11

The WTC attack in 1993.

The videotaped beheadings of innocent people.

The killing and mutilation of servicemen in Somalia.

The bombings of the US Embassies in Africa.

The bombing of the USS Cole.

The shooting of 6 Jewish women in Seattle.

The running down of pedestrians in San Francisco.

The treatment of women in Islamic culture.

The demands by Muslims for us to conform to their way of life or die.

The Madrid bombings.

The London bombings.

The slaughter of Christians by Islamists in Darfur.

The bombings, killings, rapes of innocent men, women and children who are also Islamists.

The killings of innocent Christians in the Phillipines.

Virtually every one of the thousands of terrorists attacks through the world over the past few decades perpetrated by Muslims.

I could go on, but you get the picture. And throughout all of this, so-called Muslim leaders and organizations, like al-CAIR, are silent about the atrocities. But, they have no problem calling us bigots, racists because we do not trust them and we do not trust them precisely because of their lack of criticism of radical Islam.

They have no problem telling us all these problems are our fault. Their reactions show that Muslim leadership supports these atrocities.

Gee, I wonder why so many of us do not trust Muslims?

al-Reuters has decided once again to show us exactly whose side they are on.

That was from his new book, America Alone. I don't know if he has used it in a column. The book is not just a collection of old columns, like many books nowadays are.

Yeah. 9/11 had nothing to do with them.

Several American Muslims interviewed on the subject of prejudice over the past few weeks said ignorance was at the core of the problem.

Oh, I don't know that I would call muslims "ignorant." "Savage" maybe ... Wait! They're talking about US????

"There are 1.3 billion Muslims in the world and some people think they are all terrorists."

Not "all." Only the live ones.

"Ignorance is the number one problem. Education is of the essence."

Then maybe you'd better to to educatin'. Cuz you got some realllllllly stuuuuuuuuuuuupid ragheads runnin' around. As for me, I learned all I needed to know about islam on September 11, 2001.

There are no hard figures on how many Muslims have been subject to harassment or prejudice

But we can generally conclude that whatever the number, it is not high enough.

"My car is small, but at least some of our hearts in this land of the free are large."

"My car AND MY BRAIN are small ..."

"... Muslims have a lot to offer to the United States and the improvement of our country."

They can help rid it of those pesky trappings of civilization, like running water, equal treatment of women, and a woeful lack of beheadings.

I work 2 jobs and usually am to tired to take public transportation home.

So I take a cab. They are usually Islamic but generally OK.....but twice this month the views of the driver were treasonous and dangerous. If I wasn't so tired and blindsided I would have called him out....or on better thought I will from now on complain hard enough to the taxi co. to make sure he losses his job and also call the FBI with name and topic of conversation.

It is the nature of Islam to kill or to use force. It is a form of coercive irrationalism
