and yes, i WAS giving it from their point of view.
if you misunderstand your enemy, you make mistakes, and can fail to find the best solution.
they are fanatics. but they are not crazy.
Sun-Tzu says victory is more certain, if you know your enemy.
MOST FReepers dislike Islam, but few truly understand it.
Islam IS my enemy. it IS the religion of Satan, as i have said MANY times on FR.
...and to learn more about my enemy (and, other reasons, i explain in this link below), i was INSIDE a masjid.

i was on the OTHER SIDE of the Taquiyya wall.
So i know the truth, up close and personal. So i can better argue, against C.A.I.R. and liberal apologists, who speak falsely about a “tiny minority of extremists” who “misunderstand” their own religion.
My apologies that I misunderstood your post...but I think you might also understand why that was so...as Mesta mentioned “sometimes Elendar’s posts are like that”.
Ok then...now you have my undivided attention. For I am very much aware of the Islamic threat...but surely not from the “inside”. Only from those who have either come out of Islam and writtten about it, or gone in and escaped from it. For the most part just a great deal of research ever since 9/11.
It’s not just understanding Islam...it’s the massive confusion it creates among those who believe it. You almost have to twist your own mind to understand where they are coming from.
I am going now to read the link you left here...
It seems we haven’t been able to make the point strongly enough. You, I, and many others have been trying for years to undo the damage bush did by proclaiming islam a religion of peace. I think some Americans are finally waking up, even as our own military and government is instilling the “virtues” of islam into its ranks. We are in so much danger.
