Thanks for the ping Luis.

The last paragraphs of this piece pretty much summarizes my thought's on the matter.

I see people like Osama Bin Laden using Islam as a political force to install himself in power, maintain that power and eventually profit from it. He is quite simply exploiting Islam for his own benefit.

IMO, one of the wisest things this President did was to draw a distinction between waging war on Terrorism and waging war on Islam itself. This short circuited the notion of a "Holy war" and attempted to market our action against the Taliban and now Saddam as a police action instead.

So far, it has been fairly successful.

Regarding: "Death Cults"

I should have figured I would find you here TLB.

Look, I don't want to hurt your feelings or anything.. So don't take this personally. I do want you to think about it before answering.

But, did you ever think that maybe Osama is exploiting exactly the kind of hate and racial & religious tension that you express here daily?

He's looking for zealots to talk into helping wage a holy war. Wouldn't someone like you be a prime candidate for recruitment, if the shoe were on the other foot?

Wouldn't he see your religious fervor and tag you right away as someone he could sell on this whole notion of a "Holy war" between Islam and the West?

More Christian civilians have died in the southern Philippines, at the hands of an Islamic terrorist group that is about to restart preliminary peace talks with the government.

islam is the enemy of christians and the jewish people in fact all humans....



The Muslim public-relations group CAIR—Council on American Islamic Relations—has a tough sell in post-9/11 America. But if its goal is simply to promote Islam as a "religion of peace" and to distance American Muslims from terrorism, why can't CAIR begin with a simple acknowledgment that the terrorist threat to America is real? Instead, CAIR's modus operandi has been to attack Christianity with the same, simplistic broad brush it claims is tarring Islam.http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/877539/posts?page=

"The ultimate goal is that the entire world be under Islamic law."

This has been my understanding of Islam as well. Thanks for pinging me to a good read.

Regarding: "Death Cults"


The nation has been invaded by a fanatical, murderous cult. And we welcome them. We are so good and so pure we would never engage in discriminatory racial or "religious" profiling.

People who want our country destroyed live here, work for our airlines, and are submitted to the exact same airport shakedown as a lumberman from Idaho. This would be like having the Wehrmacht immigrate to America and work for our airlines during World War II. Except the Wehrmacht was not so bloodthirsty.

TLB.

All I see is a guy manipulating people to gain power for himself.

And what I don't see is a wave of thousands of American Muslims committing acts of violence or otherwise following osama's lead.

Allah is the adversary passing itself off as the true God, Adonai.

As long as there are great numbers of people 'worshiping' satan, there will be great trouble.

Amen and Amen

Full armor.

Not yet you don't. They are working within the system here to take over the country and once they do if we are stupid enough to let them then watch out. They will slit your throat quicker than anything.

Whatever it is, I bet a large portion of it involves oppressing innocent people, doesn't it?

God won't like that.

I will spell out what I would do.....

For the sake of national security the practice of Islam would be banned because it is a murder and terrorist cult, there is no protection of religion as they try to hide behind now. All islam centers would be closed. The Nation of Islam would be outlawed and Louie would be detained. All muslims in the military would be out. All muslims in our govt would be out. All muslims teaching our students would be out.

Cair and the AMC would be shut down.

If the war with Islam ends we can go back and decide what to do next.

This is a starting point.

I know you will say we are not at war with Islam, but we are at war with Islam and until we decide we are we can never win this fully. The whole world is at war with Islam.

As Ann said and she had it right on day 1...

The nation has been invaded by a fanatical, murderous cult. And we welcome them. We are so good and so pure we would never engage in discriminatory racial or "religious" profiling.
