CW2 Ping

I'm pinging the CW2 list to this essay, because I believe this discussion and it's outcome will be a factor in any future CW2.

If you submit, no. If you choose to resist, most assuredly yes!

Islam is a violent political ideology with its own set of laws(Sharia Laws) that require strict adherence or face severe punishment. Religion is only one component and is used to impose Islam on non muslim societies.

Islam is violence. My readings in the Quran and the Hadiths tell me that Allah, thru his prophet and subsequent followers, demands my ai-lai-lai-lai-lai-lai devotion, or my contrite, humble, passive, feeble dhimmi submission, or my infidel death.

Soviet Communism had the same definition of “peace” (as does the “American” left) -

Peace is the absence of opposition.

” Quran 9:5 “Fight and kill the disbelievers wherever you find them, take them captive, harass them, lie in wait and ambush them using every stratagem of war.”

9:112 “The Believers fight in Allah’s cause; they slay and are slain, kill and are killed.” “

SJB 2: 4-6 “ Jail all muslims not born here, the deport them, for they are here to destroy our way of life”

IRS regs do no allow churches and religious organizations to maintain a tax free status when they become a political organization.

Therefore when an inman encourages as part of his religious teachings, the overthrow of our government, his mosque is no longer eligible under the IRS regs to maintain tax free status.

One of the quickest ways to get these people out of our country is to take their money.

“individual anomalies and Islam is not responsible for what they do.”

They're all on the same page, following the template. No doubt promised their own glory for their absolute complicity.

re: Does Islam Breed Violence?

Not only does it breed it, it teaches it, it encourages it, it applauds it post-terrorist attack and it rewards it, sometimes with cold hard cash.

Here's a simple exercise. Make a worksheet with two columns, one for violent attacks and the other for the religion of the attackers. Fill it out based on attacks of the last 30 years, around the world, and you have your answer.

Does Islam Breed Violence?

A fair question. A muslim colleague and I were discussing all of this and he raised a valid point - there are approximately 1.5 billion muslims in the world and approximately 1.4 billion of them are not involved in terrorism.

We often lose sight of this fact (yes, including me) and tar all of them with the same brush. Our disingenuous media feeds us only the stories about Islam that they know will inflame us.

Don't misunderstand my points, here, I'm not necessarily arguing either way about the question the article raises. I do think that some balance needs to be introduced into the discussion and an awareness that, for most muslims, their daily lives are little different from ours - going to work, being able to provide for their families, etc. Most of them don't wake up in the morning wondering who they will murder today.

Just something to think about.

Truth be told, violence is the animating force of Islam. Islam is a religion born through violence, raised by violence, which thrives on violence, and which dies without violence.

Sad to say, it can only be killed through violence, too. There is no reasoning with Islam, no middle ground, no treaty you can reach, no place for tolerance. The only times Islam has been driven back - at the Gates of Vienna, for example - this has been done militarily at the cost of many lives.

It will have to be so again. But who will fight?

I think Hasans family knew what he was up to.

I think Hussein Obama needs to be pressed on this. We need a commission, like the 911 commission.
