Read the article for yourself. Samuel Blumenfeld brings the broad sweep of history into focus, explaining how prior efforts stuffed the evil djinn back into the bottle for a while -- the American war on Tripoli, 1801-1805, and France's forcible colonization of Algeria, in the 1830s.

We are in a war between civilization and islam.

Up with civilization - down with islaam.

Works for me.

Maybe, years from now, Hillary will pull strings to have the New York terrorists freed from jail to boost her numbers in the polls. After all, history shows us it's been done before.

My dear brother and sister FReepers,

At this, of all times in my lifetime, I would like nothing more than to be able to read these threads and reply to them.  I have much I would like to say.

BUT, I cannot!

Why?

Because I am trying hard to raise the finances needed to keep FreeRepublic up and running so that we can continue to share valuable information and respond to it.

I beg you, if you have not yet donated to FreeRepublic this quarter,  do so now!

If you have already donated, THANK YOU VERY MUCH AND GOD BLESS YOU, please ping your friends, and FReep on...!

I realize you are giving to lots of Relief efforts and I encourage you to do so.  But we need to help FR too.  Where would we be right now without it?

If you have no money, please come and bump the Fundraiser Thread.

I would really like to reach our goal quickly so that I and the rest of the dedicated FReepers who are working the Fundraiser Threads can participate in what is undeniably the most important time in FreeRepublic's history.

WHERE WOULD YOU GET YOUR NEWS FROM IF FREEREPUBLIC WASN'T HERE?<--click here

Support FreeRepublic! Support the U.S.A. <--click here

"It is obvious that terrorism and religious intolerance is as much a part of the Islamic world as openness and religious freedom is part of the Western world."

So what's the big surprise? Islam has been the enemy of Christianity from the start. During the early ages, their slogan was something like "Under this sign conquer!" The sign was a sword. It's time that Americans realize this. We ignore it at our own risk.

Good thread.  Thanks for post it.  It would be good for people to read the whole article.

It's time for us to stop being so P.C. and have an open discussion about this.

The other night I was listening to a debate between Ann Coulter and that terror apologist Sam Husseini. Coulter asked rhetorically why it is that Islam, in this day and age, is able to get some individuals to commit such atrocities.

Husseini countered that it was the perversion of Christianity that led to folks like McVeigh and lone murderers of abortion doctors.

Coulter responded by saying that there's no way those folks could set up a network of hundreds planning an attack that would kill hundreds or even thousands without some who are involved, even if sympathetic, to be sickened and not turn in the whole lot.

This needs to be talked about.
