One must fight everyday to stay free. The next significant front of this long war with Islam is Legal jihad and it is already happening with significant frequency.

. . warns that the 57 Muslim nations of the Organization of the Islamic Conference . . .

Now we know where Barack got his "57 states" from!

You can expect these conditions to prevail in this country soon enough. The sizeable anti-Christian crowd in this country would like nothing better than to see Christianity disappear and replaced with ANYTHING — even if it means the forcible conversion to Islam.

Didn’t Someone already predict 2000 years ago that His teaching will always be a thorn in the side of mankind? (Who in his “right” mind wants to be held responsible for his actions?) There is very little change from the conditions that Christians had to endure under Rome or now under modern society.

Muslims have succeeded in intimidating much of the world so that by actual and the threatened violence the Western World accepts restrictions on freedom of expression lest Muslims be offended.

This is just another case of "perception is reality", driven by the old propaganda trick that if "you repeat a lie often enough, no matter how outlandish and irrational..."

I personally don't buy it. I will never buy it. And I a convinced that I am not alone.

The rehabilitation of Nazi Germany may actually happen in the dim distant future, based on the "argument" that it's patently unfair to condemn a large cultural group when it included, in numerical terms, a handful of truly noble, good, heroic people. Some actually made the ultimate sacrifice in doing "good". But the overwhelming majority is what drove history and perpetrated atrocities beyond description. A few good men cannot expiate that.

I live in a period of history when evil has spread again, and the atrocities are worse; More widespread, not limited to a few countries surrounding the source of the evil, and unashamedly cloaking itself in the armor of religion, the very element that made that last last assault on civilization so noteworthy but this time claiming to be the victim, not the perpetrator.

This is the mind-boggling inversion of reason and logic, and it "seems" to be working due almost entirely to a new, also irrational, element: political correctness. There is no easy way to overestimate the combined effect, when individually we make the choice to be blind, but we collectively pay the price of stupidity in universal murder and mayhem.

The world is no longer prepared (if it ever was) to passively submit and accept an existence of the Eloi and the Morlocks by any name, or under any pretext religious or otherwise.

Evil is evil whether there are a billion of them or three billion of them.

The world has responded by suggesting that they "lighten up".
They refused.
The next attempt was to say "Time to back off".
Also ignored.

We are fast approaching the "Stop or else!" stage. When that state is clear to the rest of the world combined, the result will be swift, huge, violent and permanent.
Not at all pretty. But, of course, the "monsters" will claim victimhood, as they always do.

Religion? I don't buy it. Never have; never will.

History is full of religious persecutions. Believers dying for their faith.

This is the first (and hopefully the last) example of that twilight zone, where the minority vermin actually believe that they can overwhelm humanity.

Believers killing for their faith.

Good luck to them.

“Wake up!”

In order to do so, the federal government has to wake up first, and I see no indication that it is ever going to happen. We are NO different from the way that Europe accepts Islam.

Do not expect government to take the lead in this matter. Even if they knew that their grandchildren would someday get their throats cut, it still would not make any difference to them. Why sacrifice job security?

The Organization of the Islamic conference has actually succeeded in attaining passage of UN resolution in the General assemble called "Combating Defamation of Religions."

What standing does a religious group have at the U.N. anyway?
Why is it tolerated at all?

As the most powerful nation on earth, one of our most basic (rabidly defended) "rights" is the separation of Church and State. Why do we tolerate it in an all-powerful "world" body?

If there is one "most powerful" reason to abandon the U.N., this is it.

Why haven't we done so?

What will it take, dammit!??!

No, attempting to creat a Conference of the Christian Conference, to counter the Murdering Muslims at the UN would be simply playing into their hands.

Religion out of the U.N.!

Why do we tolerate the UN? The US has been vilified in that global body for many, many years. We have hosted its presence in our country, and have been spit upon around the world.
Send the UN away. Stop funding the organizations that seek only our demise.

Islam is a cult. It is multi-national in scope, and barbaric in its intent. There is no middle ground with Islam. Our choice is to convert, be enslaved, or die. I choose none of the above.

Fundamental anything is toxic and stems from a place of fear, prejudice which translates into hatred toward one’s neighbor. Everyone, even Muslims, knows that Christ was correct when he said to love your neighbor as yourself. But, many would rather die in their sins.

Islam is a system of law (Sharia), a social welfare system (Lebanon), a system of government (Taliban), a group of societal norms (treatment of women,) as well as a religion. It is completely incompatible with the English and American tenets of law, a republic with democratic elements, and civil and human rights. It can only be compatible if exercised in the same manner as other religions - subordinate to our legal system, government system, civil rights and beliefs in freedom of the individual - including non-Muslims.
