self ping for later...
That may (or may not) be true when Moslems interact with each other, but isn't also true that the "rules" do not apply to interaction with "non-belivers"? In other words they can justify any action against non-belivers simply because they are non-belivers.
Because this is a denial of reality, it takes energy and attention to sustain. It also means that when anyone else disrupts the peace and tranquility of the mental utopia, it is taken as an attack on the personal identity of the liberal victim.
It is my personal opinion that every person, in their late childhood, makes a fundamental decision about where “reality” will be for them: will it be the real world, which means they realize their thoughts must conform to that reality in terms of facts and principles, or are they free to build a reality of their own, in their own mind.
This is why it is so essentially important for the future of the nation that children be able to escape the liberal public education system and go to schools of their own choice. Liberals own the primary school education establishment. Liberals control the teacher credentialing mechanism; you cannot get a teacher's license unless you graduate from one of the schools they control. They also control the accreditation machinery. A school cannot get government funds unless it is accredited by liberals. They control the degree-granting mechanisms of higher education.
The only answer is homeschooling and vouchers to allow parents unable to homeschool to send their children to alternative schools that will be more to the parent's liking.

Islam as a religion of peace is only that to another Moslem. If you happen NOT to be Moslem, then you don’t have the priviledge of peace...You are an “unbeliever” and should be killed....
Some religion of peace, eh?
Is Islam all bad? No. Some aspects are pretty positive. But the bottom line is that Islam is a barbaric and destructive force. Look at the Islamic world -- it's backward. Look at how the Islamic world has interacted with outsiders for 15 centuries -- lots of violence.
All bad? No. But bad enough to reject utterly.
Yeah, what was that article not too long ago?
British students went on a field trip to a mosque and the Imam told them they were no better than dogs.
Everyone should read The Politically Incorrect Guide to Islam.
This “fragility” of the “liberal” worldview is the reason that they will not allow, and will use force if necessary to stop, any opposing viewpoints.
The “peace” to which they refer is when the entire world is Muslim, dhimmi (slave), or dead.
#11. No matter how many times you repeat something, that will not make it true.
Reminds me of the Whitney Houston song:
I believe that children ARE our future
Teach them well and let them lead the way
Show them all the beauty they possess inside
Give them a sense of pride to make it easier
Let the children's laughter remind us how we used to be
This, and the demon kids chasing Judas, make these the two most darkly funny scenes in recent cinema.
Hillary is a not so closeted Marxist and Obama, HA, that (expletive deleted) is now quoting Karl Marx only using nicer words - as pointed out by Brit Hume a week or so ago. And as in his not so apology, apology, about Rev Wright where he blamed the evil corporations and Capitalism for today's problems.
There are 65 card carrying members of the Democratic Socialists of America sitting in Congress right now (aka Congressional Progressive Caucus) - led by Bernie Sanders and Pelosi. The DSA website used to have a direct link to Congress and its members, but was removed when they were outed.
These people should be in Federal Prison for sedition. They are a direct threat to the Republic. And 'Liberals' they ain't.
Don’t agree on the prison time -
but... they shouldn’t be allowed (by the press, us, etc - not the gov’t) to hide their affiliations and core beliefs from the voting public.
“I think you have a warped view of Islam.”
I wonder how most of us came to the opinion we have regarding Islam? It couldn’t be terrorist bombings, beheadings, etc. could it?
If he (we) have this view of Islam, he came by it honestly enough.
Christians denounce actions like these committed by other Christians . Where are the muslims denouncing the atrocities committed in the name of Islam?
I haven’t heard a lot of Christians or Buddhists or Jews telling me to “submit or die”.
Maybe YOU have a warped view of Islam. Go read some of the works by Bernard Lewis and get back to us.

The liberals think you can
Great article, great post.
“In the absence of religion people are likely to do whatever they think they can get away with.”
Religion inspires us to become better people, but I don’t think it is correct to say that without it, people will do anything.
I saw a survey recently where people were asked what made them behave properly, and religion was far down on the list. The number one thing that made people behave was social pressure—the fear that their friends would find out what they did and look down on them for it.
Religion is not very strong in many parts of Europe, but it is not really too dangerous to go there.
