The recent attack in Texas against a “draw Mohammed” event ended up with two dead jihadis and widespread criticism of event organizer Pamela Geller for “inciting” or “provoking” the assault on our First Amendment right to free speech.

I haven’t read this yet. Just bookmarking it for later when I have time.

I also want to add this link to the thread, one of the best articles I’ve ever read on the whole cartoon controversy:

We need to make war on the notion that jihadis are “nutjobs,” who have come “unglued” because they have been “offended.”

Greta and BOR both pushed this line in the past week.

Jihadis don’t behead or shoot people because of EMOTION. They are acting out of PRINCIPLE. And the principle is Sharia Law.

Islam and America are not compatible. Islan is oppression and fear and death. America is freedom and liberty and life. They will always hate us and seek to destroy us.

Remember who the Muslims REALLY worship, the same god whom Jesus said was from the begining a “liar, a thief, and a murderer”.

Laura Ingraham laced into Geller which surprized me. Don’t know if Ingraham was playing to the media crowd. But what Geller did the way I look at it is; “A tempest in a tea pot”.

The only group making an issue out of this does not deserve any consideration because of their radical over reaction to to any demonstration of critcism to Islam.

Ingraham or anyone else who believes that “no cartoons = no enticement” should be the practice and that includes the Vatican are just plane wrong.

In a way that can be expected from other religious groups beause they see themselves being critized. In the case of the Vatican with Pope Francis who too ofren goes off half cocked probably associated this effort with the Parisian je suis Charlie group which does mock every religion and a belief in GOD.

Leftists and other demented people believe it's possible to reason with a religion that does not tolerate reasonable discussion. I'm sure there are millions of Muslims who believe in the principles of a free, democratic society.

Unfortunately, many of Islam's adherents and its leaders do not believe in those things. For them, it's either Islam's way or death/servitude under Islam.

It is not for Dem societies to try and understand Islam. It is for Muslims to try and learn to live peacefully in free societies. If they can't, they should be punished or banned.

Muslims who have a legitimate understanding of God as the one, infinite Supreme Being, and worship him, are monotheists, worshiping the true God, despite the fact that their ideas about God are distorted, muddled, and false.

Islam itself, however, is Satanic. The damaged, infantile personalities it fosters, and the monstrous cruelty it enjoins, mark Islam as demonic.
