‘We are not at war with “terror”, that would make no sense.’
‘Hear, hear,’ said a voice at the back. ‘Terror is just a tactic used by Islam,’ she continued. ‘We are actually at war, not just with Islamism, but with Islam itself.’
But there is such a thing as moderate Islam, I say. Muslims aren’t all terrorists. There are some like Ed Husain (author of The Islamist) who argue that there are many peaceful traditions of Koranic scholarship to choose from. Isn’t it a mistake to dismiss this gentler, acceptable branch of Islam?
‘I find the word “moderate” very misleading.’ There’s a touch of steel in Hirsi Ali’s voice. ‘I don’t believe there is such a thing as “moderate Islam”. I think it’s better to talk about degrees of belief and degrees of practice. The Koran is quite clear that it should control every area of life. If a Muslim chooses to obey only some of the Prophet’s commandments, he is only a partial Muslim. If he is a good Muslim, he will wish to establish Sharia law.’

Somebody gets it...
She sure does..
I love this gal.

I think this is right.
I read their book with an open mind.
I was able to find all those quotes about hating Jews and Christians, killing infidels ect.
Their book is simply the Bible, stripped, massacred and hijacked into a hate book.
That stuff they spew is in the book. So they are not making it up.
They are simply following their field manual written by mohammed.
Yup, somebody gets it. But, we need a lot more people to “get it”. Islam is nothing more than a cancer on the body of civilization. Last I knew, you remove cancer as quick as possible.

I believe that all moderate islamic practices are mere window dressing for their real motives. Maybe everyone isn’t at war with islam, but I am.
I agree 100%. If there were, I would think we would have heard them express outrage and condemnation when they started lopping off the heads of missionaries and other innocent people. If you need to bake a family's son and serve the body to that family in order to make that family embrace your position, you have a problem with your position.
We are working, fighting, and dying alongside many muslims in Iraq and Afghanistan, so I’m not ready to buy into this. At least not yet.
They are working to reestablish islumist control over their countries, probably to include the reestablishment of sharia law once American forces are out of the picture.
Nevertheless, our most immediate enemy is not "Islamofascism," nor the those who follow the religion of islam or the precipts of that religion. It is the Islamic Imperialism- Sharia, to them- that they espose as a political program.

‘We are actually at war, not just with Islamism, but with Islam itself.’
Agreed. So when the heck are we restarting the Crusades? It is time.
I think that any Muslim no matter how moderate or ingrained with decency will eventually respond in an Islamic matter if there was an open global war against Islam. They are just sleeper agents, its the absolute teachings of their cult religion that demands they destroy any nonbeliever, even household pet rats when scared and threatened will attack and thats just what every single Muslim is.
Its the religion that must be destroyed, people can change beliefs.
When I think of an Islamic war I think not of killing Muslims, I think of ways to eliminate Islamic teachings, discredit it, advertise its fallacy, make people understand that its a suicide cult and has no future place on earth.
“‘We are actually at war, not just with Islamism, but with Islam itself.’”
Our politicians should have attended Hirshi Ali’s presentation to be educated about the true intent of the ROP. But, then again, if they would have accepted Ali’s rationalization they would have had to stop Muslim immigration immediately, something that will never happen. After all, one’s political career takes precedence even if it means the destruction of this nation.
