Europe will be Muslim in a dozen years, promises the Islamic Republic of Irans Supreme Guide (dictator) who is racing full-speed ahead to make as many bombs as possible with long-range missiles capable of delivering their payload anywhere in the world.
This past Friday, Yunis al-Astal, a leading Muslim cleric and Hamas member of the Palestinian parliament, declared on Hamas' Al-Aqsa TV that "the capital of the Catholics, or the Crusader capital," would soon be conquered by Islam and Rome become an advance post for the Islamic conquests, which will spread through Europe in its entirety, and then will turn to the two Americas.
The Islam hydra, with Saudi Arabia and the oil-money bloated Emirs and Sheiks of the Persian Gulf leading the Sunni charge from one side and the end-of-the-worlder bomb-seeking Shiite of the Islamic Republic of Iran with its proxies of Hamas, Lebanon Hezbollah and the Sadrists in Iraq closing from the other side will devour the free world.
Free people: are you listening?
Free people: do you care?
Free people: are you doing anything?
Disguised as religion, Islam has penetrated the democracies with the aim of replacing civility and liberty with the barbarism of theocracy and Sharia. Islams multi-prong attack aims to destroy all that liberty offers.
It is generally assumed that religion addresses issues of importance to daily life as well as matters that transcend it. Religion claims to exercise a civilizing influence by ordering the social life and promoting spirituality, as well as advancing an array of human virtues. Zoroaster, for instance, based his faith on the triad of goodly thoughts, goodly speech and goodly deeds. Moses framed the fundamentals of his faith in the Ten Commandments, and Jesus placed love at the core of his faith.
Yet, all is not well with religion. Purveyors of some religions advocate and promote ideas and practices that are harmful to the general well-being of mankind. It is imperative that a society institutes measures that guard against any and all organizations and ideologies, be they religious or otherwise that harms it.
As things stand now, our lives are governed by numerous boards at all levels of government, business, and community. All these boards are charged with the responsibility of looking after the welfare of the people they serve. The Food and Drug Administration, for instance, must pass on the safety and quality of the food we eat; the Aviation Safety Board works to ensure safe flights; a local school board strives to create the environment that best serves the education and safety needs of the pupils. Every community and business of any size is served by boards.
There are, however, no oversight boards that would check against things that contaminate the mind and present a clear threat of unraveling our democracys social compact as we know and cherish it. Shouldnt these dangers to our beliefs and way of life be monitored and combated or should they be given a pass to work their damage?
Presently, America is faced with a formidable enemy in a Trojan horse called Islam. This imminent danger makes it imperative to revisit the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution and make the necessary changes to legally defeat Islams subversion of the democratic system.
Muslims in Western democracies, most of them escapees of the misery of Islamic countries, exhibit such incredible gall and audacity as to shamelessly demand that their benevolent hosts surrender their liberty and legalize and adopt the Sharia in their societies.
The Muslims presence in countries such as Canada, Great Britain, the Netherlands and Sweden represents the tip of the sword of the Islamists protruding from the Trojan horse.
Once Sharia is recognized to any extent, it will reach out to rule, not only on matters that concern Muslims, but also those that may involve a Muslim and non-Muslim. Under Sharia, a Muslim man married to a non-Muslim woman is able to divorce the woman at will and automatically have custody of the children.
America, with a long history of protecting religious freedom, still clings to the hands off practice of leaving alone any doctrine or practice billed as religion. A thorny problem is in deciding what constitutes a religion and who is to make that call. The dictionary supplies a sociologically useless definition for religion: The expression of mans belief in and reverence for a superhuman power recognized as the creator and governor of the universe. Just about anyone or any group under this definition can start a religion, and they indeed doand some do so at significant costs to others.
Islam was birthed by primitives of some 1400 years ago and over time invaded much of the world at the point of the sword. Presently, Islamists, with their treasuries flush with petrodollars, are in a great position to realize their perennial dream of bringing the world under the rule of Muhammads Ummeh.
On the one hand, Pakistan is already a nuclear power and the Islamic Republic of Iran aims to be one before very long. On the other hand, Muslim governments and wealthy Sheikhs are funding Islamic schools, centers and front organizations in the West to work from within at the unraveling of the non-Islamic democratic systems. In a parallel attack, the Legal Islam is exploiting every provision of the law in free societies to promote Islam and silence its critics through expensive legal shenanigans.
Islam is incompatible with democracy and subversive of the way of life that blesses this nation. It is imperative that we fight Islamofascism with the same determination that we fought other enemies of freedom such as Nazism, Fascism, and Communism. It is, therefore, imperative that the Constitution be revisited in such a manner that it no longer grants a pass to any cult simply calling itself a religion.
Bluntly speaking, no one can be a faithful Muslim and an American at the same time. As more and more Muslims arrive in non-Islamic lands, as they reproduce with great fecundity, as they convert the disenchanted and minorities, and as petrodollar-flush Muslims and Muslim treasuries supply generous funds, Muslims gather more power to undermine the democratic rule.
The hydra of Islam is lashing out by its jihadists, sophisticated and well-funded lawyers, terrorist groups, and terror-sponsoring governments who have the bomb and those that are racing non-stop to acquire the ultimate weapon. There is no time to waste. Steadfastly confronting Islam is the only way to defeat a fanatical enemy who does not believe in negotiation or compromise. For Islam, it is winner take all. And the way that permissive, oblivious, and well-meaning free societies are reacting does not bode well for liberty.
Islam must be recognized for what it is: a Trojan horse carrying in its belly what will assuredly slaughter all who stand everything that is precious to free people.

Food is mostly imported, yes. Agriculture has suffered badly through mismanagement and is no longer sufficient to feed the people even in many farming communities. Partly because of insufficient water availability with a poor maintenance of the Qanats (underground water streams that require regular removal of silt).
Look at AntiMullah postings on Egypt. (News Views? World Views?) That’s a similar problem with different givens.
Sadly enough for the most part, no.
Caring takes personal thought and effort...

Thanks for the ping!
Such is the way of governments that do not acknowledge Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour. The Islamic peoples are enemies of Israel and sorrowfully are enemies of God and His Christ. All governments and religions that do not beleive the truth of the God of Israel and His Christ are subject to the powers of darkness and walk in the ways of Lucifer, the prince of the power of the air.
(Islam is destined for the scrap heap of history.)
Indeed, when the God begins the 7 year tribulation, the following 1000 year rule of Jesus Christ on earth will follow when the nations of the world go up to the mountains of Israel to destroy Israel led by the antichrist, and God in the person of Jesus Christ will return and destroy them and leave but one of six to return to their nations to tell them how that God is indeed with Israel.
Can you provide a reference for that? That's a pretty exciting concept.
Islam will die one day, but only at the hand of Messiah Himself. Islam will be THE last days religion that attempts to rule the world, IMO.
This is my main source. Also, I believe Islam to be bereft and vacuous. Rote prayers, often spoken in a language the people don't understand, doesn't fulfill the heart's longing to be in relation with the Living God. I believe Islam is so violent because there's such an emptiness at the bottom of it, they lash out in frustration.
The US Army War College's journal had an interesting article on The Quranic Concept of War (the title of a book by Brigadier General S. K. Malik of the Pakistani Army). From reading the article, and from my own readings of Qur'an and Hadith, I've come to the conclusion that the vast majority of Westerners do not understand the full concept of JihadJihad is not just armed fighting. It is not just car bombings or crashing planes into buildings. Jihad encompasses any and all acts which serve to advance Islam and the power of Muslims, or weaken the power of non-Muslims.
The end-goal of Jihad is to produce an environment where non-Muslims are afraid to speak out against Islam, and where Muslims do not experience any opposition to their spreading Islam by word and deed
In accordance with this, many activities can be seen as being part of Jihad:
- The fatwa against Salman Rushdie is part of Jihad, because it intimidates other writers from mocking Islam
- Filing "hate speech" charges against anyone who is critical of Islam (as happened in Australia to Rev Daniel Scott) is part of Jihad, since it intimidates others from speaking out
- Murdering artists who make movies critical of Islam (as happened to Theo van Gogh), and politicians critical of Islam (Pim Fortuyn ) is part of Jihad, because it makes others afraid to speak out
- A Muslim co-worker complaining about you to your boss because you made remarks critical of Islam, in an attempt to get you fired, is part of Jihad, because it creates a work environment where others are afraid to negatively discuss the topic
- Gaining a degree of financial control over media outlets (like the Saudi Prince who bought a large percentage of Fox News) is part of Jihad, since it allows Muslims to shape how they are portrayed in the media
Perhaps it is best to listen to the truth coming from the mouth of the horse. The Internet site aljazeera.net published an interview with Ahmad Al Qataani an important Islamic cleric who said: In every hour, 667 Muslims convert to Christianity. Everyday, 16,000 Muslims convert to Christianity. Ever year, 6 million Muslims convert to Christianity."
Doesn't say 6 million Arabs at all. Sure, North Africa has many Arab transplants, but the rest of the continent is full of native peoples. The cleric quoted can't possibly expect the reader to believe that all 6 million come from those North African countries that have an Arab population. And taking that figure at face value, we have to also take into consideration the number of converts to Islam every year.
But when it comes right down to it, I'd rather look to Christian sources such as missions groups who are already there and working and compiling statistics rather than relying on some random Islamic cleric quoted in Al Jazeera (where does he get his figures anyway and why is that site accepting them as factual?).
Speaking of Africa, the article goes on to say
These are huge numbers. If this trend continues we can expect to see Islam become insignificant in Africa in just a few decades.
That may very well be true. But I'd be shocked if we actually have a few decades with which to work.
Also, I believe Islam to be bereft and vacuous. Rote prayers, often spoken in a language the people don't understand, doesn't fulfill the heart's longing to be in relation with the Living God. I believe Islam is so violent because there's such an emptiness at the bottom of it, they lash out in frustration.
I don't disagree, except to say it's more than that. It's also a political ideology, a cult movement that enslaves so completely that despite its spiritual bankruptcy, it creates a social, emotional, familial, cultural, economical, political and spiritual chasm that is very difficult to climb out of. Islam is not just so violent because of its own vapidity, it is violent because it teaches hatred and violence as a means of dispensing God's will upon humanity. Islam is from the devil himself, created, in my opinion, to be the last enemy.
I pray Islam IS suffering in Africa, but at the same time, due to the influx of Islam, Europe is dying, and thanks to leftism and political correctness, I'm afraid we're only a decade or so behind.
Thanks FARS.
>> based his faith on the triad of goodly thoughts...
LOL! Goodly good :))
Hindu English, what do you want? Full of goodly stuffs :))
ROFLMAO!
Many are predicting a bloodbath there. Quite possible.
Once the Turks genocided the Christians in the 20th century they were left with their own sordid scum. If this Turk “mullah” comes into the picture, the only question will be: what does the Turk military do? I predict it will do nothing. The “secular” military has always been a ruse...a ruse to fool naive Western capitalists and their desire to put money over lives. After all they are all muslims.
The only wild card will be the Kurds.
A bloodbath, maybe, but in the end, the Islamicists will come out with the short end of the stick.
