“Where does it say in the Quran that you can’t do suicide bombs?”

He said it. If I had, it would have been "Islamophobic." As it is, he could find justification for the practice, as some Muslims have, in the Qur'an's promise of Paradise to those who "kill and are killed" for Allah (Qur'an 9:111).

This is a few weeks old, but as we missed it then, it is well worth noting now. "Dix informant: Men spoke of sniper training," by Geoff Mulvihill for The Associated Press, December 2 (thanks to Diana West):

CAMDEN, N.J. — Jurors in the case of an alleged plot to attack Fort Dix heard recordings Tuesday in which some of the five defendants talked about buying weapons, sniper training and killing soldiers.

One of the men, Eljvir Duka, asked whether a rifle would be a powerful enough weapon.

“Can you shoot an American soldier from a mile away and kill him?” he said.

Duka’s words were captured on recordings secretly made by an FBI informant in February 2007, during a trip he and the defendants made to Pennsylvania’s Pocono Mountains. The informant, Besnik Bakalli, testified that he hoped the trip would be a vacation but that he believed it was really training for jihad — holy war.

Government prosecutors used the recordings and Bakalli’s testimony to support their claims that Duka, his two brothers and two other men were plotting to kill soldiers on the Army’s Fort Dix. Defense lawyers, who have not yet been able to question Bakalli in cross-examination, say the men were not seriously planning anything. [...]

The suspects, who were in their 20s when they were arrested, are all foreign-born Muslims who have lived for years in the comfortable Philadelphia suburb of Cherry Hill.

All five men could face life in prison if they are convicted. They face charges of conspiracy to kill military personnel, attempted murder and weapons offenses. [...]

During one taped conversation, one of the suspects, Shain Duka, asks a group of men, “Where does it say in the Quran that you can’t do suicide bombs?”

A few moments later, Shain Duka says the suicide bombs deployed in Iraq against U.S. military targets were permissible. “The way they do in Palestine,” he said, referring to Israel, “I’m not for that.”

If I remember correctly from the news articles at the time of the attacks, all of these guys were illegal immigrants in addition to being Bosnian Muslims.

"Islam is a political ideology. It is a system that lays down detailed rules for society and the life of every person. Islam wants to dictate every aspect of life. Islam means ‘submission’. Islam is not compatible with freedom and democracy. Mohammed was a warlord, a mass murderer, a pedophile, and had several marriages – at the same time. Islamic tradition tells us how he fought in battles, how he had his enemies murdered and even had prisoners of war executed. Mohammed himself slaughtered the Jewish tribe of Banu Qurayza. He advised on matters of slavery, but never advised to liberate slaves. Islam has no other morality than the advancement of Islam. There is no moderate Muslim" You cannot reason with Islam or fight against it with democratic rules. Only a system with a totalitarian political ideology like Communism can confront the Islamic insurgence and expansion. Unless majority of the just world and United Nations have the courage to expose / ban Quoran as a literature that incites extreme violence and destruction of non muslims, unless muslims denounce these passages as offensive to humanity , followers of Islam will keep perprating heinous crimes against humanity, will keep on expanding their influence. Democtatic countries will be defeated by Islam as Muslims living in democratic countries use democracy to further the cause of Islam .And in the end world will be left with one Islamic Caliphate, and a non Muslim Communist country like China. In the end it will be their fight. How should we start a petition to get all secular countries and the UN to expose and ban Quoran as a literature that incites hatred and violence , responsible for most of the terrorism and murders in the world in recent years?

Marjie, a good place to start would be to join one of the groups listed at The Anti-Jihad Resistance listed as a link on the main page of Jihadwatch, http://www.antijihadresistance.com/.

The groups have a good idea of your concerns so you don't have to reinvent the wheel and they are looking for others to join and to help.

Don't look to the UN for help. CAIR and OPEC probably control the UN indirectly by controlling the governments of the UN members. The first place to start in the war against Islam would be to deport illegal alien Muslims. Instruct Immigration to stop granting visitor and student visas to Muslims from hostile countries. They also don't qualify for citizenship because they are loyal to Islam/Quran/Sharia and not to America/Constitution/Democracy. We need to end our dependency on oil so Islam does not have the money to wage war against the West.

Everyone should view Anne Korin's Oil Solution on You Tube.
