George Bush, like many Americans, is clueless about them. Hence his amazingly dim-witted reference to the "War on Terrorism"

After reading that, I honestly don't care what this "perfessor" has to say.

I judge people by what they do, not empty rhetoric.

The Two Towers, the Pentagon, the terrorism in the Middle East and across the World speak endless volumes to me.

We are at war with militant Islam... no quarter asked, and none given.

This gentleman, whether he's sincere or an agent of influence, is now arguing against a rising tide of genuine understanding. He and his arguments will fail; they're counter to the actual facts on display, which are too easily accessible to be obscured or falsified.

Islam, whatever its origin or potentialities, is de facto a war ideology, a call for the totalitarian domination of the entire world and its subjugation under the sharia law. Robert Spencer and others have demonstrated that this is embedded at the heart of Islam: in its Quran, supposedly written by God Himself, and in the several hadith of the life and career of Muhammad.

Jews and Christians have renounced the Book of Leviticus and all claims to the use of force in spreading their faith. Muslims trumpet such a privilege to the skies, and exercise it every day.

  1. No other major religion claims the right to topple secular governments.
  2. No other major religion claims the privilege of executing apostates and heretics.
  3. No other major religion establishes categories of humanity with differing levels of rights.
  4. No other major religion condones slavery.
  5. No other major religion has animated its fanatics to steal airliners and crash them into office towers.
  6. No other major religion is so markedly, violently hostile to criticism.
  7. No other major religion shows such unwillingness to condemn those of its members who have taken the lives of others as part of their "jihad."

Why hasn't the discussion ended there? Why do people continue to pretend that, in reciting the simple facts of the case, Ann Coulter and the Reverend Franklin Graham are doing anything but drawing our eyes toward that which stands unabashed in our midst? Why, after all that's been said and done these past few years, do they think they can draw a veil over the eyes of the West?

Wonder how many trees where killed to write this garbage.

In your opinion which of the ten parts is garbage?

I researched several religions that I was curious about and Islam was one of them. My research was not deeply steeped in the details of the religion, however, what I read in the article follows the basic research I conducted.

Perhaps your studies of the Islamic religion were more complete and allows you to recognize the parts of the article that were incorrect. Which parts were incorrect?

I was going to refute each point, but what the hey, the supports of Islamists will say it is lies, much as those who say Trent Lott is not a racist.

The only solution to the supporters of the Islamists is a 230 grain double tap, as they try to acquire there 72 Virgins, then a burial clothe of pig skin.

Islam is anti-Christ, and what more needs to be said?
Jesus is either who he said he was, or he was a liar. There were over 500 witnesses who saw Jesus die on the Cross, and there is not one witness that the so called "Angel of Light, or Gabriel" was sent by God to a
man named Mohammed. No one seems to ask for Mohammed's witnesses, and he has none.

They will rue the obscene crimes they have committed against innocents, in the name of their porcine "god". They will rue the day, they earned our universal enmity.

They sought our fear, our submission, what they have awakened, is our rage.

I agree with you stomper...along the lines of "i fear we have awakened a sleeping giant".

Yes, but I did not know how to spell it before...
