Islam has an almost perfect formula for success. The vicious, bloodthirsty killer, cloaked in religion. A great bait and switch devise, suckering unsophisticated persons in with a strict religion and eventually giving them over to the Hun. Over a thousand years of history of deceit, murder and horror, and yet, because it's a "religion" it is given a pass with the tired plea, "It's a religion of peace, it's only a small percentage of bad eggs, don't be an Islamaphobe." It is not a religion, but a political movement cloaked in mysticism. It's time to strip away the religious excuses and destroy the heart of this scourge.

I have said this for YEARS AND PEOPLE JUST CALL ME CRAZY!!
To be a "good" Christian one must adhere to the Bible as a whole and in its entirety. If you do not you are NOT a "good" Christian. This is a FACT.

Primarily what Jesus said when confronted by the Pharisees when asked what the greatest commandment was.

Hebrew and Greek Original
MR 12:28 And one of the scribes came, and hearing their argument together, and seeing that he had given them a good answer, put the question to him, Which law is the first of all?
MR 12:29 Jesus said in answer, The first is, Give ear, O Israel: The Lord our God is one Lord;
MR 12:30 And you are to have love for the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength.
MR 12:31 The second is this, Have love for your neighbor as for yourself. There is no other law greater than these.

In essence the 10 commandments which in itself is 100% peaceful.

Now to be a Good Muslim the same principal applies you MUST adhere and follow your holy book to be a "good" Muslim. So we have to ask what are the BASIC fundamental tenants of the Holy Writings? Let's see.

Qur’an:9:88 – “The Messenger and those who believe with him, strive hard and fight with their wealth and lives in Allah’s Cause.”
Qur’an:9:5 - “Fight and kill the disbelievers wherever you find them, take them captive, harass them, lie in wait and ambush them using every stratagem of war.”
Qur’an:9:112 “The Believers fight in Allah’s Cause, they slay and are slain, kill and are killed.”
Qur’an:9:29 “Fight those who do not believe until they all surrender, paying the protective tax in submission.”
Qur’an:8:39 “Fight them until all opposition ends and all submit to Allah.”
Qur’an:8:39 “So fight them until there is no more Fitnah (disbelief [non-Muslims]) and all submit to the religion of Allah alone (in the whole world).”

Here is the FACT and the Reality. The ones we call "Radical" and "Terrorists" ARE THE GOOD Muslims according to their holy book. This is undeniable. This is why ISIS kills other Muslims!! Because they are NOT adhering to their holy writings.

Keep in mind the "Moderates" are NOT good Muslims according to their specific basic tenants.

The media has to be controlled. One might argue that colleges brainwash all journalist. There is a school of journalism in Berkeley that seems to have a fast track ticket for them. But I think it’s something deeper, more sinister.

But, never reported (maybe not understood) is what goes on inside a Muslim community behind the scenes. It’s called “We Know Where You Live.” It really means we know where your family lives, and particularly your children. This is how the people are controlled by the militants. This is what goes on in third world societies. Even when those societies are in America; the police can’t stop it.

You can call it Militants regarding Islamic communities or people, or Black Hand for Chinese, or Cartels for Mexicans, those various peoples dare not cross them. End of story. This is pretty horrific for Americans to believe, it is basic for Third Worlders. Talk about politically incorrect. I’m just getting warmed up.

Ask yourself, why Russians are never kidnapped by Islamic terrorist, or very few other crime syndicates or groups. If you don’t know it’s because they can and do play the same game, but often harder. To go after the perpetrators’ family is uniquely taboo in America and many western cultures. That America condition is not unknown in the Third World.

Well America, like Jack Nicholson said, “You can’t handle the truth.”

I am not afraid

Over the past few years I have developed a habit of tuning into the BBC and Al Jazeera every couple of days if news is slow and almost immediately when something big is happening. In the long run, I have found the reporting of network and cable news to be infested with bias and outright lies. I have found the BBC to be a little better and unfortunately, I have found more unvarnished truth on Al Jazeera.

Last night I was watching a panel discussing Boko Haram, who they are and why they and others such as ISIL and Al Qaeda do what they do. Two scholars, one Arabic and an American college professor, quite casually spoke of them as "Traditional" Islamic groups that took the Quran seriously and believed in strict Sharia law. Some individual members of these groups were singled out for perhaps exploiting the traditional faith for their own ends but the conclusion was that this is what happens when there is widespread hopelessness in the lives of a large group of people.

I will withhold final decision on the truthfulness of that discussion but considering the source I thought it was extremely interesting.

Define normal in a pluralistic society. I would think there's room for all kinds of oddballs.
Take me. I was drawn to the Gulch by Ayn Rand movies. I like the way a lot of people think here.
As for Islam, it's my belief that it is an invention of the devil that has been way far more effective than idiots into Satanism.
Yes, I'm a Christian. I have a problem with climate change hustlers but none at all with the science of evolution.
A Southern Baptist preacher would tell me I'm going to hell for that. I say uh-uh. Jesus is my door to a better place.
If that's not normal, I don't want to be. I'm happy.
As it was repeatedly said in The Scorpion King flick, "Live free and die well."

I am hot and heavy in a debate with those who refuse to believe anything like no-go zones for Keffirs exist in the UK. They make much of a gentleman named Steve Emerson, whom someone, somehow, bullied into retracting an earlier statement he had made citing Birmingham, England, as a no-go zone, or at least identifying a no-go zone(s) in that city.

Does Obama really exist? Does Islam really exist? Or are they both just superstition or somebody's perceived imagination? What if we learn that they are the "brochure" from Hell aimed at trying to get you to reconsider the desire for Heaven?

Uncommon; I won't argue that Mohammed, if he existed as a real person, was a schizophrenic psychopath and any ideas, beliefs, or religion founded on him and his actions are easily converted to the purposes and rationals of evil as they are for good. But I hold that the same is true for any religion or religious belief. One does not require reason or rationality in order to justify any action if one accepts magical super beings and immeasurable dimensions of immortality. Religion at it's base is about control of other humans. It's always been that way and it will always remain so and whether for overt or hidden motives of evil or good, it's bad for humans--often deadly.

As to the motivation of atheism being a faith in the belief of nothing existing outside of this physical life, I'll take exception. Again, there might very well be those that base their atheism on a belief or faith, but for myself it's simply that magic and superstition or their effects are not something that I can determine any way to measure. I have no need for a motivation regarding an atheism vs. god belief. Show me a god or have someone send me a brochure from a heaven and I might (just might) reconsider.

You've been a good teacher. :-)

I am watching-but did I tell you I can't watch horror...true story :) keep me pure

=) Plus, the muzzies have a proven 1400 year history of success that validates what you say.

The very deliberate and patient infiltration by the Muslim brotherhood is one of the most effective. It uses numbers to achieve its ultimate goal of overtaking greater and greater areas. When it doesn't have the numbers, it just waits patiently, then begins to enforce sharia law, and effectively, because now there are enough Muslims Ina community to enforce/threaten the local constabulary and residents. And it's methodical. And patient. And ruthless.

It really has little to do with the 'religion' part of islam. It has everything to do with Mohammed's megalomaniac & homicidal tendencies.

I've said this before and I'll say it again: in a fight between atheists (who ironically have faith that nothing exists outside of this physical life) and the muzzies: I'll put my $$ on the muzzies winning out. Why? The muzzies have faith (are you seeing the consistency here?) that they will get their 72 virgins in the afterlife. (Mohammed never stated if the virgins were boys or girls, or after one has deflowered all 72, if the 72 somehow magically, get their virginity back...one of those things Mohammed never answers) What motivation does the atheist have? (Aside from instinctual self-preservation)

Faith is the foundation of any belief. Anytime someone has faith in something & holds fast to it, no matter what, that subject then becomes a 'religion' to that person, whether they are aware of it or not. Examples:

The Marxist has faith in their murderous ideology and that someday, somehow, when it is finally 'done properly', the State will magically "wither away" just like their messiah Carl Marx & his lover Engels says it will. And then, the Utopia of a classless society will finally be realized. Communism is the religion, Marx is the messiah and their faith completes the 'religion'.

Here's another example:

The environmentalist (I stress MENTAL, in that word) has faith that global warming is in fact directly caused by man-made activities & over-population & cow-farts & therefore, all those activities, population & cows must be controlled or eliminated. Al Gore is their messiah and their faith completes the 'religion'.

Are any of these grounded in reality?

It's religion. It's that simple. When you believe in magic you have no grounding in reality.

I really wonder how the author of this piece lives a normal life in a pluralistic society.
