Muslims seem intent to prove Islam's peaceful nature, even if they have to kill you to do it. Dave wrote about this a year ago, but the Dutch may have finally found a backbone :

A Dutch parliamentarian who believes Islam’s massive global growth is feeding on the worldwide fear of denouncing the violence-based religion, this week did what few men have had the courage to do, and confronted it. » read more »

From http://www.balaams-ass.com/alh... ...

Muhammed also suspected himself to be possessed of devils, when he first received revelations outside of Mecca. Khadijah encouraged him that it must be Gabriel. Muhammed, who was illiterate, could immediately recite the Koran fluently. This made other Arabs believe he was demon possessed.

During a recent interview for an Arab television network, Bush stated that "all the world, whether they be Muslim, Christian, or any other religion, prays to the same God." Now, based on what I have observed about Bush's "Christianity," this does not come as a surprise. His actions are clearly not guided by Biblical principle, so one should not expect that his statements would be, either. But I do believe that Bush is a shrewd politician. So, I am left to wonder what his purpose is in making this statement.

Clearly, Bush is not trying to appeal to evangelical Christians. Any Bible-believing Christian with half a brain knows that Bush's statements are not only false, but deeply insulting to Christians as well as to the Lord Himself. When Bush made similar statements several years ago, Christian leaders were quick to denounce them. Reading the denunciations, it appears that those leaders pulled their punches by insinuating that one must be a "theologian" in order to discern the truth or falsehood of Bush's universalism. It is not so. Only a small amount of research is required to understand that Bush's statement are not only false, but utterly blasphemous to the God of the Bible. » read more »

It would appear the killer at VTU had some kind of connection to Islam after all. He signed his note and had written on his arm, "Ismail Ax". "Ismail" is based upon the Arabic spelling of "Ishmael", the so-called father of Islam. In the Quran, the story of Abraham's near sacrifice of his son is twisted such that it's supposedly Ishmael who is almost killed by his father, and it is supposedly Ishmael who is the son of promise. (Many false religions do this: twist the truth just enough to suit their purposes.) Also, some Muslim accounts of that sacrifice have Abraham wielding an ax rather than a knife as noted in the Bible. The phrase "Ismail Ax" is a way of saying "son of sacrifice" and is a tribute to Islam. » read more »

I don't have much to add to this article.

As noted in http://www.jihadwatch.org/arch..., the new idiots in charge of Congress intend to empower Muslim terrorists in their efforts to kill more Americans. Not that profiling has been used correctly, but these elected traitors intend to prevent any such investigation of Muslims at airports. They want to make it illegal, in fact.

I never thought I'd live to see the day when my own government actively sought to help our enemies kill us. I mean, I knew their foreign policies helped to make our enemies, train them, equip them, and give them good reason to hate us; but I couldn't have dreamed they'd also hold the door open for them here at home and shove them toward the vulnerable crowds. » read more »

I just ran across this quote, attributed to Mahmoud Ahmadinejad: "Anyone who describes Islam as a religion as intolerant encourages violence."

I can't really add anything to that.

Here is an entertaining and informative multiple choice question: How might one best protect air travelers against terrorist activity?

a) Based on evidence from past terrorist incidents, rigorously investigate those passengers who are most likely to commit terrorist attacks.
b) Give members of an organization known to be a front for terrorists a guided tour of the procedures currently used to screen for terrorist activity.

If you answered "b," congratulations! You just passed the Homeland Security entrance exam. It seems that "b" is exactly what the DHS did a couple of months back. They took members of CAIR (Council on American-Islamic Relations) on a tour of the security procedures in place at O'Hare. » read more »

Since when do the French care about public nudity? Doesn't it stand to reason that the driving force behind this new law is the influence of the ever-growing French Islamic community? What's next, burqas on the beach?
