No, you don't.
And you do? I think you're pretty clueless. Better read (or reread it if you ever bothered to do so) that article and a few more on the evils of islam. You sound like a liberal appeaser. The French will soon rue the day they ever let muslims into their country. They are going to be islamisized in our lifetime. In fact, Western Europe will cease to exist before this century is over. Do the demographics Jack...islamofascists will own Western Europe this century. There will be no appeasing them. To them, it is a war for the world...literally. Islam is not a religion of peace. While it has some basis in Judo-Christianity, it is a cult of evil founded by a psychopath who was a murderer, enslaver, thief, pedophile, and those are his good traits. If you think you can trust the adherents of this blasphemy, then you are in the minority among conservatives.
But the plan of salvation also includes those who acknowledge the Creator. In the first place amongst these there are the Mohamedans, who, professing to hold the faith of Abraham, along with us adore the one and merciful God, who on the last day will judge mankind. |

Nevertheless, the religiosity of Muslims deserves respect. It is impossible not to admire, for example, their fidelity to prayer. The image of believers in Allah who, without caring about time or place, fall to their knees and immerse themselves in prayer remains a model for all those who invoke the true God, in particular for those Christians who, having deserted their magnificent cathedrals, pray only a little or not at all. |
"Crossing the Threshold of Hope" by Pope John Paul II |
Don't even try telling me what the pope says. I could care less. Catholics have so distorted Christianity that they are separate from Christians. Didn't you reread the article. Just look at the title! ISLAM'S CHOICE: CONVERT, BE ENSLAVED, OR DIE. Those are your choices should islam take over the world. You need to do some serious reading up on islamic history. They may believe Abraham existed, but they totally perverted the word of God starting in the 7th century. Their idea of salvation is not the same as ours. I'm beginning to think you're a hopeless case. But I'll tell you what. You make friends with muslims and I'll keep my distance from them. Then we'll see who gets screwed over first.
"Really? If you're so secure then what's with the internet tough guy pose?
What tough guy pose? I say what I mean-I mean what I say. What is your problem with that?
"Prof. Moshe Sharon teaches Islamic History at the Hebrew University, Jerusalem"
...then Prof. Moshe Sharon should be looking for a new job soon.
If you’re not very good at persuasion, you should BECOME good at it. It only takes know-how and practice. This is a war of memes as well as guns. And in the meme-war, the citizens of the West are on the front lines, and what we do will make the crucial difference, because about half the West is resistant to this information. So persuading a few people each can tip the balance. The most important thing we can do is this: Influence the opinions of the people around us who either don’t want to get involved or are under-informed.

Near the end, I have some suggestions on how to improve your ability to influence opinions. I would appreciate it, and so would my readers, if you would add to the list of ideas. What works best for influencing people to change their mind about Islam, Iraq, and terrorism?
And here, let’s share with each other stories of conversations we’ve had with people who don’t know this stuff, and maybe who were resistant at first, but were won over. And then share with each other HOW they were won over.
This is a war of memes and we had better win.
Has it really been eight years? Good show!
