There is a division of the house. On one side are the politically correct in government, the leftist mainstream media, and a raft of Islamist apologists. One and all are tripping over each other in reassuring us that the mass murderers such as Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan and suicide bombers who detonate their explosive vests in crowded marketplaces and even mosques are individual anomalies and Islam is not responsible for what they do.
On the other hand are those who have been fed up with the numberless daily horrific acts that are clearly committed under the banner of Islam throughout the world. In all fairness, there needs to be a distinction. Numerous criminal acts are also committed, on a daily basis, by non-Muslims. The critical difference is that non-Muslim criminals do not hoist a religious banner to justify their misdeeds, while the Muslims proudly claim that they commit their heinous acts in obedience to the dictates of their religious faith.
Would someone, please, explain what motivated Nidal Hasan who had been, at tax payers expense, educated from college all the way through medical school and post medical-school training, to turn his deadly weapons against a nation that gave him everything he had?
If Islam had nothing to do with what Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan did, why:
* had he repeatedly preached the ascendancy of Islam to the U.S. Constitution?
* had he publicly supported Islamic suicide bombing?
* had he proclaimed his highest loyalty to Islam?
* had he been in contact with violent anti-U.S. Islamists and a virulent Yemeni Imam?
* did he distribute copies of the Quran to people the morning of his bloody attack?
* did he keep screaming Allah-o-Akbar as he heartlessly sprayed over a hundred bullets, killing thirteen and injuring some thirty innocent men and women?
Here is the truth, as bitter as it may be. Islam is the culprit. Islam is anything but a religion of peace. Violence is at the very core of Islam. Violence is institutionalized in the Muslims holy book, the Quran, in many suras:
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: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)."
Qur'an:8:65 "O Prophet, urge the faithful to fight. If there are twenty among you with determination they will vanquish two hundred; if there are a hundred then they will slaughter a thousand unbelievers, for the infidels are a people devoid of understanding."
Qur'an:9:38 "Believers, what is the matter with you, that when you are asked to go forth and fight in Allah's Cause you cling to the earth? Do you prefer the life of this world to the Hereafter? Unless you go forth, He will afflict and punish you with a painful doom, and put others in your place."
Qur'an:47:4 "When you clash with the unbelieving Infidels in battle (fighting Jihad in Allah's Cause), smite their necks until you overpower them, killing and wounding many of them. At length, when you have thoroughly subdued them, bind them firmly, making (them) captives. Thereafter either generosity or ransom (them based upon what benefits Islam) until the war lays down its burdens. Thus are you commanded by Allah to continue carrying out Jihad against the unbelieving infidels until they submit to Islam."
And the Quran is considered by Muslims as the word-for-word literal edicts of the Muslims god, Allah.
Right from the start, violence served as the engine of Islam under the command and supervision of Muhammad himself. For one, the Prophets son-in-law cousin, Ali, was titled the Commander of the Faithful for his unsurpassed feats of butchery. Ali with the assistance of one or two of his thugs, beheaded some seven hundred captives, most of them Jews, in only one day. This man, highly esteemed by the prophet of Allah, had a sword that had its own nameZolfaghar. Alis portrait, holding the menacing sword, adorns the homes and shops throughout Shia-lands. And this man, Ali, is revered by the Shia at the same level as Muhammad.
On the Sunni side, Muhammads co-revered is Umar, another unabashed killer of untold numbers. And of course the choice weapon of these champions of the religion of peace was the sword. And to this day, a sword adorns the flag of the birthplace of the religion of peace, Saudi Arabia.
And Islam, by the nature of its very doctrine, appeals to mans base nature. It promotes intolerance, hatred, discrimination, and much more:
Qur'an:61:2 "O Muslims, why say one thing and do another? Grievously odious and hateful is it in the sight of Allah that you say that which you do not. Truly Allah loves those who fight in His Cause in a battle array, as if they were a solid cemented structure."
In reality, Islam is like a deadly contagious disease. Once it invades the mind of its victim, this debilitating disease is capable of transforming him to a helpless pawn that has no choice but to execute what he is directed to do.
Of the reported 1.3 billion Muslims in the world, millions are already trapped in the terminal stages of this affliction while millions of others are rapidly joining them. The people enslaved with the extreme cases of Islamic mental disease are highly infectious. They actively work to transmit the disease to others, while they themselves engage in horrific acts of mayhem and violence to demonstrate their unconditional obedience to the dictates of the Islamic cult of violence.
The savagery and variety of the actions of these Islamic captives are seen daily around the globe. Many of these acts, committed under the banner of Islam, have become so commonplace that the world has come to view them as the normal part and parcel of a troubled humanity. And, from time-to-time, the world is shocked into a passing and momentary realization of the evil deeds these Islamist robots commit and quickly gets over it and does nothing to seriously address this affliction of humanity.
The recent dastardly mass murder at Fort Hood, committed by Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan will be forgotten by the public before very long. Life will continue on its deadly course, pushed along in a variety of ways by agents of death, Islamists. Only the families who lost their loved-ones and those who survived the bullets have to live the rest of their lives with incapacitating injuries, in the main, wont be able to put the episode behind them.
The mass murderer Nidal Malik Hasan did not riddle people with bullets under the pressure of momentary insanity. The insanity, ironically, in a man who was trained to help people with sanity was introduced in him from the moment of birth and from the very early years when he prostrated himself five times daily toward Mecca in expression of total submission to the dogma of hate called Islam.
Islam is a mental retrovirus that has mutated into numerous varieties and degrees of severity, over the past 1400 years. Everyone born in a Muslim family, as well as those who convert to Islam, contract a particular mutation of the Islamic Virus. As is the case with all retroviruses, the Islamic Virus burrows deeply in the person and erupts, from time-to-time with potentially devastating consequences.
The Islamic Virus first divests the person of his most fundamental human attribute. It takes away his right to make decisions himself and absolves him, in return, of any responsibility for his actions rendered in blind obedience to it.
A true Muslim does not and cannot believe in freedom of choice. In the religion of IslamSubmissioneverything is up to Allah, as clearly and repeatedly stipulated in the Quran .The Raison d'être for the Muslim is to be an unconditional submissive to the will and dictates of Allah. Everything that a good Muslim does is contingent upon the will and decree of Allah, he is indoctrinated to believe.
Humanity is facing a deeply troubling dilemma. On the one hand is the desire of enlightened people whose aim it is to forge a world of diverse people into one universal society ruled by peace and justice for everyone while, on the other hand, Islamists are hell-bent on imposing their stone-age system on everyone. Tellingly, the Muslims themselves are at one anothers throat regarding which of dozens of Islamic sects dogma should rule.
For now, Islam is busy with what it did from the time of its birth, fighting the non-Muslims and infighting.
Truth be told: Violence is the animating force of Islam. Islam is a religion born through violence, raised by violence, thrives on violence and dies without violence.

There isn't a lot of Muslim representation in my tagline.
Speaking of which: what do you think of my tagline? Are the entities, groups, organizations therein good for America and Americans? Do they operate and function for the positive interests of America and Americans?
What do you think?
In an attempt to discuss the merits and substance of the issue at hand, I posed the query above to Liberator and now do the same with you.
Again, you need not answer but do give it some thought, if possible.

I had NO idea there were as many pro-Muslim crackpots like you infecting this forum.
I think you have the wrong take on it. They aren't so much pro-Muslim as they are anti-Jew. They will side with anybody that hates Jews because they are stuck in the mental rut that blames all Jews for everything that has ever gone wrong.
Which is really ironic,when you stop and think about it. After all,without Jews to hate they wouldn't have any reason to get out of bed in the morning,or even to live.
It really wouldn't be an exaggeration to say they are parasites that are dependent on Jews to live their daily lives.
Like many others,he thinks it is justified to tell any lie necessary to push Jewish victimhood because many of them were murdered by the Nazi's.
I have no problem with their claims that Jews were picked out to be murdered and WERE murdered by the Nazi's. Anybody who claims this didn't happen is either a damn fool or a damn liar.
My objection is that the whole focus is put on the Jews,and not a word is mentioned about the Gypsies,Slavs,homosexuals,petty criminals,and even normal Germans that the Nazi's also murdered. I heard about the Holocaust and the murder of the Jews from the time I was a little boy in the 50's,but it wasn't until I was a adult and out of school before I learned about all the others the Nazi's murdered.
Hell,the Nazi's even murdered German children that were born with birth defects or mental problems.
The historical REALITY is there was nothing special about the treatment the Jews got in Nazi Germany or occupied countries. Yes,they were picked out to be murdered,but they were just one group and fewer of them were murdered in both number AND percentage than some other groups.
Actually the most notorious jihadists, including the key leaders of the 911 hijackings, were upper middle class and well-educated.
The same thing can be said about the communists that were born in the US. Yeah,there are some poor commies,but every one of the leaders comes from a wealthy background of privilege.
Where are all the Christians carrying signs calling for Muslims to be beheaded if they don't convert to Christianity?
The Christians post their fantasies of nuking the black rock at Mecca on websites.
"By your sword you shall live, and your brother you shall serve. But when you become restive, you will cast his yoke from off your neck." Genesis 27:40
The United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) estimates that the annual worldwide total of honor-killing victims may be as high as 5,000.[1]
Try harder.
"By your sword you shall live, and your brother you shall serve. But when you become restive, you will cast his yoke from off your neck." Genesis 27:40
I guess that means if they are Muslim countries,it doesn't count,huh?
A "Muslim country" is defined either as a country ruled by sharia, or at least acknowledging Islam as its official religion, capisce
"By your sword you shall live, and your brother you shall serve. But when you become restive, you will cast his yoke from off your neck." Genesis 27:40
Current estimates are that about 10-25% of all Muslims are of the Wahabbi school which DOES teach violence and terrorism and DOES claim that is part of Islam.
Estimates by whom? Estimates by jewish propagandists don't count.
"By your sword you shall live, and your brother you shall serve. But when you become restive, you will cast his yoke from off your neck." Genesis 27:40
Care to guess which MUSLIM nation funds Wahabbi schools and Mosques?
Care to guess why the biggest Wahabbi nation has never its billions of dollars of American military hardware against either the United States or Israel - if they are so violent and terroristic?
Care to guess why American businesses do billiions of dollars of trade with that Wahhabi nation if they are so violent and terroristic?
Even among madrassa graduates, what percentage of them actually ends up doing terrorist activities.
OMG! The eevil terrorist Muslims are funding schools and making non-Muslims pay taxes!!!!
BWAHAHAHAHAHAA!!!!!!!
"By your sword you shall live, and your brother you shall serve. But when you become restive, you will cast his yoke from off your neck." Genesis 27:40
Think MAYBE the fact that things like "Honor Killings" are not considered to be murder may have something to do with that?
No.
I'm not surprised by your answer and spin. Your whole life revolves around making excuses for and covering for Islam. You will tell any lie you have to tell and stretch any fact you have to stretch in order to do this.
Where are the Christian countries who have an official policy calling for the total destruction of another country and people?
Where are the Muslim countries saying that?
Post the policy/policies verbatim.
The policies of the Muslim countries have to do with making the Jewish state give back the land it has acquired unjustly and by force.
You naturally will have a problem with that if the people taking the land unjustly and by force happen to be joos.

Per my link the United Nations estimates there only 5,000 honor killings worldwide every year by all people everywhere Muslims or not.
That is not a drop in the bucket compared to the murders.
So after being soundly rebutted on the facts, you turn to name calling, like the dumb$hit you are.
"By your sword you shall live, and your brother you shall serve. But when you become restive, you will cast his yoke from off your neck." Genesis 27:40
Where are all the Muslim air forces and marines that are murdering Christian innocents with hitech weaponry?
What a lame-ass answer!
Actually that's a pretty good answer.
Christians are too chickenshit to do their dirty work up close and personal, so they will spend trillions of tax dollars to do their deeds until this country runs out of money, which is exactly where we are headed.

Yes,you are spinning and making excuses again.
According to your turd flingers the big reason Islam is incompatible with the West is because Islam wants to the government to be ruled by the Koran.
Now you want to claim that even a country that hasn't gotten to first base in that process is still an Islamic country.
Lame, lame, lame.
"By your sword you shall live, and your brother you shall serve. But when you become restive, you will cast his yoke from off your neck." Genesis 27:40
Yeah,some do,but there are fewer of them than there are Muslims who post stuff like "Death to America and death to the ifidels!" on Islamic web sites.
Show me an Islamic website that has "death to America" posts.
I can show you at least two that have "Nuke Mecca" with far more posters.

Only because they can't get the Filipinos they hire to do all their work for them to do the fighting.
What are the Muslim propandists supposed to be estimating?
The number of people they have in their groups?
LOLOL!!!!!

So Filipinos are in the Saudi armed forces?
You are quickly becoming irrelevant...

Yeah,cause all these killings that aren't even considered to be murders and that are ignored by the authorities are reported directly to the UN,huh?
Do you know the meaning of ***estimate*** dum bass?
If they were reported by the authorities, they would be **statistics.****
God it is fun smacking you around. But I do have some work to do today before the storms come in next week.

American Indians didn't use their Air Force or Marines to attack America
Yeah, and they didn't give out 20 Medals of Honor for slaughtering 300-some unarmed men, women, and children either.
