Islam’s Burning Rage
FrontPage Magazine ^ | Rich Trzupek

Posted on 09/15/2010 6:22:55 AM PDT by Michael van der Galien

In this supposedly enlightened, modern world of ours, many people take a perverse pride in mocking those symbols and beliefs that other people hold dear. Judaism and Christianity are among the most popular targets of today’s iconoclasts, embodied in the stupidity of Andres Serrano’s “Piss Christ” through the deadly serious Zionist conspiracy theories that permeate the highest levels of the United Nations. Yet, somehow Jews and Christians endure these slings and arrows, remaining confident and secure in their faith in spite of the insults. At the other end of the spectrum, we have one major religion in the world so terribly insecure about itself that it cannot bear the slightest provocation, no matter how obscure or tenuous the source is. Rather than holding that religion – Islam – accountable for maintaining a skin so thin that it encroaches upon the freedoms it supposedly hold so dear, the Left continues to enable a hyper-sensitive Muslim worldview. According to the Left, Muslims are a particularly aggrieved part of the victim class and thus the regular rules of public discourse do not apply when they express their grievances. History tells us that leftists aren’t doing anyone any good, not Muslims and certainly not the civilized world, by according Islam this special status.

The firestorm of controversy that surrounded the ultimately unrealized plans of an obscure Florida pastor to burn a few copies of the Qur’an was truly remarkable, without any analog in the modern world. If Terry Jones had announced an intention to put any other book in the world to the torch, no one would have taken any notice, much less threatened to set off a firestorm of righteous indignation.

Jihadis have a lot in common with commie far left wing liberals in that if they do not get their way they throw extreme temper tantrums, destroy private and public property like flag burning etc. and generally makes nuisance horses asses of themselves. The world would be a whole lot happier place if we got rid of them all, liberals included.

islam is far more then a religion. It is a political/society construct meant to oppress poeple and mire them in a 7th century living. It hates freedom and liberty and seeks nothing less then the destruction of western civilization to achieve its goal.

"It hates freedom and liberty and seeks nothing less then the destruction of western civilization..."
Exactly, for anyone to say we are not at war with Islam shows a deep misunderstanding of Islam. Islam has been at war with the world since the 7th century, the politically correct will either wake up and kill them or wear the mantle of second class citizens in what used to be their countries.

Europe is seeing that truth laid out in their own time every day as they are becoming more and more just another Muslim nation. Soon we will stand alone.

The Jews and Christians know who God is and have Truth on their side.

The Muslims aren’t so sure about their faith and think that their god is too weak to defend himself, so they must do it for him.

Could it be because the god of Islam is “father of lies” the enemy that Jesus warn us about?

To quote a verse in Judges concerning Gideon...

Jdg 6:30 “ Then the men of the city said unto Joash, Bring out thy son, that he may die: because he hath cast down the altar of Baal, and because he hath cut down the grove that [was] by it.

Jdg 6:31 And Joash said unto all that stood against him, Will ye plead for Baal? will ye save him? he that will plead for him, let him be put to death whilst [it is yet] morning: if he [be] a god, let him plead for himself, because [one] hath cast down his altar.”

If the mmohammedan’s allah is a true god let him come down and plead for himself because one has burned his koran.

The clear difference between Judaism, Christianity as opposed to Islam is that defenders of the former do so with words and good deeds and the latter does so with violence, murder and destruction.
