Greetings Scotsman. Like many on this forum, I consider Islam to be much more than a religion. I regard it as the mortal enemy of Western civilization, and that it has been for nearly fourteen centuries. I’m also reluctant to accept the gesture of that animals family as anything but the ‘public face’ of Islam...the mask it shows Dar Al Harb. I will never trust one of them, or regard any of them as my countryman.
I once read a comment on the subject that made a lot of sense to me...it went something like "Communism is a religion that masquerades as a political system whereas islam is a political system that masquerades as a religion".
