During the Cold War, the Soviet Union funded "peace movements" throughout the west - because for the Soviets "peace" meant "the absence of opposition".
In our time the new peace movement is Islam. And so we are told today, from the podium of a mosque with "extremist" "links", that the very word Islam means "peace". Actually, it means "submission" - ie, the absence of opposition.
The only difference between then and now is that instead of being chanted by scrofulous hippies protesting outside a Nato air base the old line's being peddled to us by the President of the United States. Odd.

On the German “migrant” crises: Brilliant:
“Angela Merkel couldn’t turn Greeks into Germans, how in the world does she think she can turn Afghans into Germans? That’s the question she doesn’t seem to have asked herself.”
Recall Barry carrying a copy of ‘The Post American World’ and Steyn writing a couple books,’America Alone’ and another, name escapes me.
Like Orwell’s book ‘Nineteen Eighty-four’ it was written as a warning but places like North Korea adopted it as assembly instructions.
Steyn warns, while Obama says, “This whole decline and fall thing ... we could make this work.”
IRS colonoscopy for Mr Steyn forthcoming.
Nicely pointed out -
That, and a few other glaring warning of things to come, ie: candidate Obola the refusing acknowledge the American flag, 20 yr membership to radical church “g0damn the US of KKK”, his wife’s statement “for the first time I’m proud of this country”, and his many Marxist ties, we’re Ample warning to this country’s sheeple.
This idiocracy is screwed.
RE: “Recall Barry carrying a copy of ‘The Post American World’
Merkel is openly, deliberately, knowingly, murdering Germany.
Any other explanation is just absurd bullshit.
Germans wanted a country with no new Germans. They got one.
Merkel is trying to replace the tax base and will destroy Germany in the process.
Oh and this is why homosexual marriage is a dead end for the tax collector.
There's a conflict between the population-reduction agenda and the welfare-state agenda. So far, the population-reduction agenda is winning, and I think that's a trend. Young Moslems are not going to support elderly Germans: the elderly Germans will just have to die.
As I have often observed, the root of semitic words are the consonants: salam (peace) and islam (submission) have the same root, slm. The “Islam is a religion of peace” and “Islam means peace” are not lies to a Muslim but rather betray what from the perspective of a Christian, Jew or Western secularist is the severely defective conception of peace held by Muslims: there is no analogue of “the peace of God which passes all understanding” in Islam; there are no negotiated peaces in worldly affairs, only “hudnat”, pauses in warfare; the only peace Islam understands is the peace between the conqueror and the conquered, between master and slave — to the Muslim peace always involves submission.
Thus a Muslim can assert either “Islam is a religion of peace” and “Islam means peace” in good conscience, and is only being deceptive if he or she says this to hearers whom the speaker knows will misinterpret the statement because they hold a non-Islamic understanding of peace. Muslims being remarkably resistant to understanding non-Muslim points of view, it is unclear how often these things are actually said as deliberate deceptions. I suspect less often than most FReepers think is the case.
One is reminded of the Russian “mir,” which means both “peace” and “fortified city.”
You are correct but the intricacies don’t really matter ,, it’s going to be “us or them” in the end.
That quote is the one which stood out for me as well. It cuts right to the heart of the problem.
Why do we here in the USA think we will have any better chance?
