Many, many years ago I read "Holy Hatred: Religious conflicts of the 90s" by James A. Haught. This text documented the Muslim violence occurring in the U.S. (including the first Trade Center bombing). It's a great text (almost like a historical document -- although, I didn't agree with the relativistic assumption of Haught's that all religions were equally violent -- interestingly, if one simply counted the number of entries for Islam, it accounted for about 75 percent of the text...but Haught chose not to notice, I guess. But aside from the moral relativism, the book is still a worthwhile read. It also documented the early assassinations of Muslims against Muslims happening in the United States (followed by Muslim attacks on non-Muslims). Interestingly, some of these violent groups seem to knock off other Muslims first (usually their critics), then gravitate to murdering non-Muslims...(Hamas fit this same pattern -- so too with Hezbollah.)
Got a Q.
A number of college students want to use these as evidence for arguments in classes, as well as embedding them at their various personal websites.
(They're good about source acknowledgements)
Any objections or stipulations?
They seem to be taking root, even out here in California. (Yes, there ARE still plenty of us rational folks still remaining out here).
The Frontpage Piece shines a bright light on what CAIR is up to. They must not succeed. Excellent analysis as usual by Robert.
