But he, like many Occidentals, simply doesn't “get” it. These are not just random acts by individuals acting on their own behalf.
What they are doing is actually acting out the life and commands of Mohammad as carried through to them by the Koran, Haddiths and Islamic tradition and history.
Most individual Muslims do not get involved in acts of violence against the government and Americans - right now. Their numbers here are still too low. But that doesn't mean that in their heart of hearts, they don't support people who do. Their silence is defeaning. Sure, you can quote one or two here or there. But they certainly don't speak for the majority of Muslims.
In nearly every Islamic Country Sharia is the law of the Land. That's not an accident. Its because most Muslims SUPPORT it and Islam requires it. Under Sharia, all non-Muslims become second class citizens. Religions other than Islam are barely tolerated. Public acts of worship by non-Muslims are forbidden. New churches and Synagogues are forbidden. All work must stop during the required prayer periods. Consumption of alcohol and pork, even by non-Muslims, is discouraged and punished, dance is forbidden, clothing is regulated, beards are required of men, dogs are considered “unclean” animals, women become the possessions of their husbands or fathers or brothers, horrific public corporal punishment and mutilations and executions are required for the most trivial offenses, death is the penalty for a Muslim who converts to another religion and death is the penalty for trying to convert a Muslim to another religion.
Think of a state and culture run by the Inquisition on steroids and you have an Islamic society.
And if we tolerate the presence of these people in our midst, they will not rest until they impose that upon us, by force of numbers through immigration and reproduction, and/or use of violence.
Islam is more dangerous than Nazism and in the sum total of the world's history, murdered more Africans, Asians and Europeans than all the fascists dictators killed in the 20th century.
This is not ME speaking. Its HISTORY talking and not ancient history. This happened in Lebanon, once a Christian Arab nation, within the past 50 years and is going on right now as we speak in Egypt (10% of the Egyptian population is Coptic Christian), Ethiopia, Nigeria and other places in the world where there is a large Muslim Population. When their numbers reach a critical mass, its inevitable.
Just look at the pastor set to be executed in Iran because he will not renounce his Christianity. Look at Pakistan where muslims kill Christians and burn churches on a regular basis. You don’t have to convince me how evil islam is. I know.
