Islamists constitute a small but significant minority of Muslims, perhaps 10 to 15 per cent of the
population. Many of them are peaceable in appearance, but they all must be considered
potential killers.
How does 600,000 to 900,000 -- in our country -- potential killers sound?

A lot of American Blacks are converting to Islam. What do we do about Muslims who are native-born American citizens?
As far as what do we do with the religion of Islam, what did we do about the humanist religion called Marxism, which at its peak held far more adherents than Islam, including many in the US?
Marxism was exposed, over and over, as a hateful philosophy which produced poverty, oppression, and misery for its adherents, until people in Communist countries started to see that Marx was a false god. The same approach needs to be applied towards Islam
Fundamentalist Islam is incompatible with a modern, technological lifestyle. In countries without large oil deposits to subsidize the population, the people are poor. What the mullahs are really afraid of is that their young people may decide they prefer to worship Britney Spears, that they prefer to study engineering rather than the Koran, and that they want a damn BEER in the evening if they feel like it!
Thus the mullahs are hysterically trying to create a wall of separation between Muslims and the West (by approving of terrorist acts whose predictable outcome would be the expulsion of all Muslims from the West and the end of all further interaction). The mullahs know that if the next generation loses interest in Islam, they are out of jobs
We need to recognise that Islam, as written in the Qu'ran, is as hateful as anything the KKK could have come up with. We need to make being a Muslim about as popular in general society as being a Klansman or a Nazi
Islam's claimed divine origin HAS made a big difference for it's millions of adherents, though, because if they truly believe as they profess, then they are bound by their collective belief to accept its every hateful, twisted, venemous word without question, even as they accept its more tranquil ones.
The problem as I see it, especially with respect to Islam, is that it is merely religious in form, but at heart it is essentially a political, social movement aimed not at saving souls or reaching a personal ennobled state, but aimed instead at controlling conduct.
Specifically, it is aimed at controlling conduct through the hijacking of the power of the state.
When our Constitution was written, I think that such a malignant perversion of religion was far from the thoughts of the founding fathers. They would never have accepted that the "freedom of religion" they enshrined in the Constitution could protect subversion.
Islam as it is now constituted, harboring seditious political elements bent on nothing less than the overthrow of the American system of Constitutional government is not worthy of Constitutional protection.
The Constitution is after all, not a suicide pact.
The idea of religious freedom is freedom from having anyone else's religion shoved down our throats, the Muslim's or the Christian's.
Besides your "evanglicalism" doesn't work. Islam is the fastest growing religion in the US (or was up 'til 9/11).
Just examine the case. If each Christian would convert one other person each year, in 30 years there would be over a billion Christians. In other words, if you convert one person to Christianity this year, the you and your convert convert one person each to Christianity the next, and this process continues for 30 years the entire country would be Christian four times over, in thirty years.
What have you Christians been doing?

MUSLIM APARTHEID: What the U.N. Wants Hidden
Christian Persecution in Sudan
Note that most of the Christians and Animists being persecuted are black, the Muslim persecuters are largely arabic.
Yes sir, stop the Muslims from forcing us the live under the soul-crushing weight of Sharia (rule by Quranic law) by forcing us to live under the crushing weight of rule by the Old Testament.
I gotta better idea. You practice your religion, I'll practice mine and the Muslims will practice theirs. Keep all of the different religion out of government. But most importantly, keep government out of religion.
It always has and always will need to be fought for.
"A Republic, If You Can Keep It"
The Arab leaders made deals with the African chiefs to enslave tribal mmembers for tribute or other rewards.
BTW, slavery is still practiced in only muslim nations today with Africa's Sudan enslaving many Black Christians in the name of allah.
This is also the thing that is enabling Islamic organizations to conduct massive disinformation campaigns, in many cases paid for by you, the taxpayer. Here in Gainesville, Florida, we have declared November to be "Islamic Awareness Month," and members of the local Islamic Council get to go around and give lectures on the glories of Islam.
We also have at least one dewy-eyed article a week in our local NY Times paper, the Gainesville Sun, about the "religion of peace." These articles are usually interviews with members of the Islamic Council of the University.
And in all of this, it should be remembered that these Islamic Councils were the same organizations that were set up as fronts by the professor from the University of South Florida in Tampa who was held in jail for two years for his known but hard-to-pin-down connections with terrorism. He was then re-hired by the University, although he has since been put on leave because it has been hard to portray some of his subsequent statements as "peaceful."
In short, we are doing everything we can to insure that Islamism wins. We are giving them platforms, we are offering them no meaningful opposition, and we are letting our combination of ignorance and innocence be used by them to lay the groundwork for their takeover from within.
Correct you are!
