As a religous movement, I have no problem with Islam. As a political movement, I’m completely against it in the same way I’m against socialism. The problem is, the lines between ‘religion’ and ‘political’ are very obscure in the Muslim world. In fact, you can make a case that Islam is completely political having nothing to do with faith. That’s the beauty and genious of this movement. Seriously, the KKK was famous for wrapping itself in religion but, reasonable folks stood back and said, “I dont think so.” Are the Black Panthers a religous movment? What if they said they were?

Islam has found the perfect grey area to exist in in our society. They are neither political nor religous but, they are both political and religous, too. They wrap themselves in the freedom of religion, protecting them from criticism yet, they are truly political in nature...able and often calling for violence as they see necessary. there is no doubt they would use the Mosque to openly criticize democracy and freedom while promoting Sharia law.

I’m just saying, this is a sticky-wicket for America. We all believe in the constitution yet, it is not a suicide pact either. If they insist on building a Mosque and tweaking 90% of the country then, I say we build a Pig farm, a Synagogue, and a Planned Parenthood Center next door. Plus, an adult book store/strip club should be built across the street. We can play this silly game, too.

Islam hasn't show much of thier MSM advertised trait of a "peaceful religion". In fact, we haven't seen much of an indication that it is even a religion; it's rather a cult, or even an international Gang.

Assuming we don't "like" because we're not lining up to join their "religion" is stupid. Islam is far eastern communism at best. Their laws and customs are ruthless and cruel...total domination.

Some Americans join them...the radicals who hate America, lots of lost souls in prisons, and phoney presidents. But by and large looking at the long list of atrocities committed by muslim men between the ages of 16 and 49...there are some pretty good reasons to NOT like muslims.

Yep, like asking Americans their opinion of the Japanese before Pearl Harbor? “WHO?” “The Japanese?” “They guys at the laundry?” “No those are Chinese?” “There is a difference?” “I would say there is, they hate each other” “Whatever.”

So when some hollyweird star started prattling on about racism as a cause for WWII, I was amazed, because he had it backwards.

Of all the Bravo Sierra, “Americans” there are over 300 million of us, line up with many principles of the Islamic Faith, respect for Family, Education, hard work, industriousness.

Americans however, and the majority of Muslims in the US do not align themselves with cut throat terrorists.

Could it be that a group of Islamic terrorist murdered a Americans when all they were doing was going to work.

We don’t have to like uncivilized savages.

"What the hell kind of ‘culture’ disdains dogs???"

Dogs are used to protect property, so perhaps, a culture of brigands and thieves would have reason to disdain dogs.

Dogs are used to protect people, so perhaps, a culture of cut-throats and murderers would have reason to disdain dogs.

Dogs are used to detect illicit drugs, so perhaps, a culture of smugglers would have reason to disdain dogs.

Dogs are used to detect explosives, so perhaps a culture of bombers would have reason to disdain dogs.

Of course, this is all speculation on my part...

Why? Just a few reasons come to mind:

ISLAM IS THE MOST RACIST, BIGOTED RELIGION, AND THE KORAN IS FILLED WITH HATE FOR ALL OTHER THAN MUSLIMS:
(It is taught in textbooks in some Muslims countries today that Christians are monkeys and Jews are pigs)

Christians will be burned in the Fire. 5:72

Whoever says Muhammad was black must be killed…(Ash-Shifa, Tr. Aisha Abdarrahman, 2004)

Ahmad ibn Abi Sulayman, the companion of Sahnun said, “Anyone who says that the Prophet was black should be killed. (ibid, p.375)

In one Hadith, Mohammed referred to Blacks as Raisn Heads (Sahih Al Bukhary vol. 1, no. 662 and vol. 9, no. 256), and as pug nosed slaves in Sahih Moslem vol. 9 pages 46 and 47.
Christians are wrong about the Trinity. For that they will have a painful doom. 5:73

Give tidings (O Muhammad) of a painful doom to the rich and greedy Christian monks and Jewish rabbis.9:34

Jesus was not the Son of God. Those who say he was (Christians) are going to hell. 19:35-37

Scourge adulteresses with 100 stripes. Do not show them any pity. Have a party of believers watch the punishment. 24:2

THE KORAN PROMISES COUNTRIES TO CONQUER AND THE SPOILS THERIN:
Sura 33 “And he bequeathed to you their lands, their homes and their possessions, together with land you have never trodden” (33.27) .

MUSLIMS ARE INSTRUCTED IN THE KORAN TO BE STILL UNTIL THEY HAVE THE NUMBERS IN THE COUNTRIES THEY HAVE INVADED:
“Be patient with unbelievers until you have strength” (86.17).

THE KORAN INSTRUCTS MUSLIMS TO BE DECEPTIVE:
Quran 3:28 Don’t have unbelieving friends unless it is to deceive them. Remember the final goal is to Allah.

Allah’s law (Sharia) is binding to all…4:135

Allah accepts only Sharia and no other laws…7:29, 57:25

Allah is the Law-giver; He appointed Muhammad to implement the only correct laws (Sharia laws)…45:18

Quran 9:33 ISLAM WILL PREVAIL OVER ALL RELIGIONS ——————————————————————————————

THE FOUNDER OF CAIR HAS TOLD US PLAINLY OF ISLAM’S OBJECTIVE IN AMERICA:

“ISLAM ISN’T IN AMERICA TO BE EQUAL TO ANY OTHER FAITH, BUT TO BECOME DOMINANT. The Koran ... should be the highest authority in America, and Islam the only accepted religion on earth. Everthing we need to know is in the Koran. We don’t need to look somewhere else.” OMAR M. AHMAD, CHAIRMAN OF CAIR,the mainsteam Muslim advocacy group.

Well, you have to admit, the author makes a great point.

Muzzies don't seem to have a problem with other faiths building places of worship whereever they want in Saudi Arabia, Iran, etc.

We're all familiar with the Cathedral that's being built in Mecca are we not?

“Spengler buy a clue”

Hint: Before dubbing the author of the article “clueless”, perhaps you might want to review his writings.

“Spengler” has a remarkable resume, and among other things, was a financial adviser to President Reagan.

Plus the so-called mainstream or peaceful Muzzies never come out and disavow any of the atrocities.

Donchaknow?

If we show them tolerance,
they’ll show us tolerance!

(in actuality, they see ANY gesture of tolerance as weakness and a signal to attack)

None that I am aware of. Too busy blowing people up and chopping off heads, I guess.
