I have turned this over in my mind for weeks now, trying to decide whether to post this or not. It is SORT OF a vanity, but not entirely. I am reading a book that I was turned on to, titled The Sword of the Prophet: Islam, history, theology, impact on the world, by Serge Trifkovic. The book has a sub-title called 'The Politically Incorrect Guide to Islam'. It is published by Regina Orthodox Press and though this is a Catholic publishing house, the book is not about Catholicism but a history of how Islam began and what some political and church leaders, both Protestant and Catholic and other religions - DO NOT WANT TO HEAR - ISLAM IS NOT A RELIGION OF PEACE!
Far from me to recommend a book that will get your blood pressure up, but Serge takes apart this so-called religion, piece-by-piece. Read this at your own risk but if you have the chance, read it. A sample:
From Chapter 2, 'The Teaching': '......The Resurrection will be general and will extend to all creatures. Hell will be divided into seven regions, for faithless Muslims, for the Jews, Christians, various kinds of pagans, and "hypocrites." '
I decided not to relate any more passages from the book because of copyright and the fact that some of it is too violent or offensive, even for our firm beliefs here on the Free Republic. This is a bombshell book and though none of the information contained in it is new, it puts things in perspective. Muslims do not hate you because you are American - they hate you because you are non-Muslim. They are prepared to do whatever they have to do, to make the world into the one-world religion (theirs). This book is raw and unapologetic and, to be perfectly honest, GUTSY. Don't take my word for it but read it yourself.
Serge Trifkovic is a graduate of the University of Sussex in England. He received his PhD at the University of Southampton and his postdoctoral research on a State Department grant at the Hoover Institute at Stanford. He is also a regular contributor and, since 1998, foreign affairs editor of Chronicles: A Magazine of American Culture.

Others (Muslims) are as peace loving as any other people. If this were true, then you would be able to find a single Islamic country with freedom of religion. Unfortunately, one doesn't exist. Christians are persecutioned in every Islamic country. Your statement is bogus.
Also, you would be able to find a single muslim religious leader who actively speaks out against and repudiates terrorism. I have yet to hear one do so. I have yet to hear muslim communities in the U.S. do so. In fact, most news reports I see, the muslim communities in the U.S. are against the U.S. war on terror, and support the various terrorist organisations.
Thus, stating that muslims are peaceful goes against all known facts. There may be some exceptions, i.e. muslims who are peaceful, however, the Koran itself teaches to act peaceful and hide your intentions of domination when living amongst "non-believers" and outnumbered. Thus, it is hard to even take "peaceful" muslims at face value. As always, actions mean more than words, and sometimes even words are nice. Here, there has been no action, and no words, to prove muslims are peaceful.

(Koran 69:30-37)
"You (i.e. Muslims) will fight wi the Jews till some of them will hide behind stones. The stones will (betray them) saying, 'O 'Abdullah (i.e. slave of Allah)! There is a Jew hiding behind me; so kill him.' " (Sahih Bukhari Volume 4, Book 52, Number 177)

I read yesterday that Muslims must appear before a Mulism tribunal if they don't appear to be good Muslims.
Then today, I'm looking at a picture taken (from above) of worshipers -- by the hundreds -- standing within a Baghdad mosque. The symmetry within that pictured gathering was amazing and my thought about that was: Are Mullahs taking note as to who is there and who isn't? Is each position in that formation assigned to a specific individual?
Can anyone tell me if that is so?

What a load of lies. Mohammed was a child molester (Aisha) and thief who got his big start raiding caravans. Jihad was the way of Mohammed who led his "holy warriors" on battles and wars for booty, pillage, rape, seizure of slaves and concubines.
Islam copies Muhammad today with it's many stupid Jihads. Islam loves war and blood. India, Israel, Kosovo, Philippines, Chechnya etc.

I am simply amazed that Serge Trifkovic has not been targeted by the religion of peace for 'conversion' or 'elimination". This so-called, fabricated, religion, is a danger to the world and most especially the West. It is a great book!

Professional bandit is more like it. Franklin Graham is correct about the demon possessed pedophile.

Who says that Muslims hate you? The ones I know don't. :) As for the fanatics, the book may be spot onFanatic?? Does that mean anybody truely following their religion to the letter??? Hate has nothing to do with it. To be a muslim you must be willing to kill infidels and unless you are a muslim you are out of luck.
To: TFMcGuire
Very well said.
To: GoLightly
No the same can not be said of Christians. If you are talking about the Crusades they were started as a defense against the muslim hords slaughtering Christian communities. The history of muslim expansion and what it took to stop it is very bloody.
To: tentmaker
I don't think Islam is any different from any other religion in the matter of violence. You would be seriously wrong. Maybe it is time for some study on the subject. It is quite an eye opener.
To: tentmaker
The conflict in Ireland has been justified up one side of the island and down the other for years with scripture quotations while one group of Christians kills another.It has also been condemened by Christians around the world as being very wrong. Unlike the slaughter of "infidels" by muslims, where you can not find condemnation at all.
