(source: Remarks by the President to the UN General Assembly | The White House)
in his official capacity as President, to the deliberate blind eye turned by authorities in Yorkshire to the sexual abuse and torture of pubescent girls by Pakistani immigrants (e.g. teenage girls being doused with petrol and threatened with being burned alive if they told others of their sexual abuse)...not to mention the deafening silence from women's rights activists about forced clitorectomies...
or to mention the Islamists in Iran executing homosexuals by hanging, or by throwing them off of buildings. For some reason, the American left prefers to pelt Catholic Bishops with condoms, rather than confront open, explicit, filmed executions of homosexuals.
Or, if you want to control for the variable of *time*...recall that Islam started in the 600s. Prapagandists or know-nothings like to portray the Crusades as wild-eyed fanatical Christians laying waste to peaceful Muslims seeking only to mind their own business-- when in fact the situation was nearly the exact *opposite*: Islam was founded in (roughly) AD 600 in the Middle East: and yet, recall that the Muslims were defeated *militarily* in FRANCE -- quite far away from the Middle East -- in the Battle of Tours in 732. (Thank you Charles Martel !)
In other words, about 300 years after the sack of Rome by the Visigoths, the Muslims were trying to take over France. Long, long before the Crusades.
And recall also, nearly a THOUSAND years later, the Ottoman Empire (again, Muslim) nearly overran VIENNA -- you know, home at one time or another, to Brahms, Beethoven, Haydn, and Mozart -- in 1683, being stopped by the Poles (thank you Jan Sobieski !)
Let that sink in, mmm'kay?
732 -- the Muslims have taken Spain and nearly overrun France.
1683 -- the Muslims nearly overrun Vienna. This is AFTER, for instance, Columbus, AFTER Martin Luther, AFTER Shakespeare, AFTER the Pilgrims land a Plymouth Rock.
Aw, Hell, get this. AFTER the founding of Harvard. Yes, the *real* Harvard.
Oh -- you might also want to note. ISIS/ISIL taking captives as ransom, is hardly a new thing in Islam. You may recall -- or not -- the US Marine Corps anthem...
"From the halls of Montezuma
to the shores of Tripoli..."
That latter, the shores of Tripoli -- refers to the Barbary Pirates.
These were pirates of Muslim outposts in Northern Africa, who captured merchant vessels and ransomed or sold the crews as slaves. In 1795, Algeria ransomed 115 captured Americans, for over $1 *million*. Yes, in 1795 dollars. This was about 1/6 of the entire US government budget at the time.
The continuing, hmm, "peskiness" of the Barbary states, was what led to the formation of the US Navy.
One or two more tidbits.
In March 1785, Thomas Jefferson and John Adams went to London to negotiate with Tripoli's envoy, Ambassador Sidi Haji Abdrahaman (or Sidi Haji Abdul Rahman Adja). When they enquired "concerning the ground of the pretensions to make war upon nations who had done them no injury", the ambassador replied:
It was written in their Koran, that all nations which had not acknowledged the Prophet were sinners, whom it was the right and duty of the faithful to plunder and enslave; and that every mussulman who was slain in this warfare was sure to go to paradise.
Ummm. Yeah.
THAT Thomas Jefferson.
You know, The Declaration of Independence, "We hold these truths to be self evident..." and all that stuff.
Hardly a Medieval dead-and-gone thing.
NOTE: some of this material was copied from Wikipedia (The details on the Barbary Pirates, for example, tho' I knew of their existence and Jefferson having dealt with them, on my own); some paraphrased, some knowledge of my own.

Why would US soil be any different that anywhere else in the world. I fear the Islamists are underestimating the American people, wouldn't be the first time.
ISIS should start its beheading campaign in Washingtoon DC. The US Senate and the EPA would be good places to start. (/joking)
They actually don’t care at this moment, because Obama is useful to them. He’s an Indonesian Muslim, which would mean he’s Sunni, and his Kenyan father appears to have been Sunni as well. This would mean he’s part of the majority Islamic group.
ISIS is Sunni, so even though Bambi may not be the greatest practitioner in the world, he’s one of theirs.
If he says this on the campaign trail, I foresee a 50-state landslide.
Well, there’s the backlash against one of the Marines and a Sailor for shooting back....
Seriously, you’re right. Under the current administration, the chance for serious action is almost nil, and the enemies of this country know it.
It was up to the men who were attacked to fight back by breaking the rules against having weapons.
I’d be very curious to hear the various candidates asked how they would respond to an ISIS beheading in an American home. It would be much more illuminating than questions about what words they’ve used in the past to describe women.
Well, I guess the White House better get busy working on their prepared statement so when this occurs they can once again EXPLAIN to America how this is only “Workplace Violence.” /s
That’s a racist question. /s
Why would they attack their biggest supporters?
I’ve been a conservative Christian living in the most unchurched county, in the most unchurched State in America. Port Townsend, Washington. I don’t know what I was thinking when I moved here. My house is up for sale. I was thinking of where I would like to live, but I think you are right. There are safety in numbers. I think now it will be a military town like Bremerton (Naval base puget sound) or Oak Harbor (NAS Whidbey), It seems no matter how hard I tried witnessing, either agressivley or subtly, In nearly 20 years I couldn’t seem to get through to many of these witches or homosexuals @ all. It will be nice living in a town that doesn’t spit on you, or throw rocks and sand at you and your VFW comrades as you March in any of towns local parades. I’m as much a sinner as anyone else (But I do have a get out of jail for free card on me. Thank you Jesus, I’ll try not to take it for granted) At least I tried. Would you like to see some people more removed from reality that San Francisco, Berkeley or the mainstream culture, wherever? Then come tour “Beautiful (and it IS that) Port Townsend! Washington St! The Lesbian and Devil worshipping capitol of America “
>>Already happened in Oklahoma. Recall the 2 women who were attacked by a Jihaddi at work? One managed to get away and live, after her boss shot the perp. For another, it was too late and the woman was beheaded by the perp.
>>Workplace violence.
Ummm....yeah. That was my point. If a Jihadi terrorist kills Americans at work, the government tries to pass it off as workplace violence.
So, as I stated in my post, if it happens in your home, then it must be domestic violence.
>>They are here! Many are homegrown. Look at the number of mosques [aka, training centers] that have sprung up in the last 30 years.
Really?? Wow, I didn’t know. /s
potential voters as soon as obama can get them in as honored guests or dipoolomatic immunity or members of the communi-tay or whatever
You'd think messages from Caesar Zero's cell phone would be classified. This must have been stored on Hillary!'s server.
What a coincidence. The cough cough reverend {yea right} Al Sharpton is calling on black churches to back Nobama’s Iranian deal. Look for some false shepherds to start calling for islams defense and even alliances within certain churches formed to join in on the carnage. Always remember that with false shepherds such as these it has never been about GOD nor Gospel but rather power over others.
Finally! A dream come true for leftist everywhere in the US. No longer do they have to bemoan the evil military fighting in some foreign county, now lefties can participate in their very own home town!
No more resources wasted on the evil military, resources which should be going to feed the homeless and stop climate warming.
And since most of ISIS consists of Arabs -— Bambi, being a foreigner, is fit only for suicide missions; further, since Bambi is black, he is also slave material. Thus Spake the True Master Race ... Arabs.
Before you get on your high horses, please remember that Christians have killed more people than any other religion has./s
And if anyone believes that, then they are the real problem, and not the solution.
“And do we expect anything other than this when the Muslim Brotherhood in the White House and thru out our government are the ones what are bringing this to us?”
Your statement is true. Muslim Obama has brought Muslims into our government in many departments. His main adviser, Valerie Jarrett grew up in Iran and said she wanted to bring more Muslims into America and into government.
Obama/Jarrett wouldn’t care if Americans were beheaded but would raise holy hell if a Muslim was killed. I am 81 and hope I live to see Obama out of OUR White House.
And the head Muslim continues to golf and extort the Clintons.
