The man we supported and helped, Bosnia's fundamentalist Muslim president Alija Izetbegovic, wrote before the war there that there can be no co-existance between Islamic and non-Islamic societies.

Now that this issue comes closer home, we realize that Islam is not Southern Baptist, Anglican, Methodist, Catholic or Greek Orthodox. Islam recognizes only one nation -- the nation of Islam. It is therefore incompatible with any other. It co-exists with others because it has to, but Koran teaches the believers that they should spread the religion, even by force. After all, Islam means submission, not peace. It treates non-believers as enemies. Koran online is availbale. Read it.

There is a medical term that mostly describes what you are talking about. In the human body it's a cancer.

The way religious folk get along in the US is to relegate the more difficult parts of their faith to the background. This is particularly important for Christians who are obligated to take their faith into all the world. Else, we'd have 'em lined up at our doors 10 deep every day.

One day in a discussion with a couple of mullahs, one gentleman asked me how it is that Christian missionaries will go anywhere and everywhere, but Moslem missionaries don't go to the worst places.

I told him it was that prohibition on Moslems living or working in places with legal systems incompatible with Islamic principles. After all, the places that need the missionaries, if not their religion, the most, barely have law, to say nothing of having law compatible with a high order of civilization.

You will notice that Moslems live in the United States. That is because our system of laws is compatible with Islam. That was determined first by the Ullema in Cairo, and by others later. With 5 million or so Moslems, that actually makes us pretty much one of the major Islamic states in the world.

All is not as it seems, eh?!
