This has been making the rounds in email - i don't know who the author is.

In case we find ourselves starting to believe all the anti-American sentiment and negativity, we should remember England's Prime Minister Tony Blair's words during a recent interview. When asked by one of his Parliament members why he believes so much in America, He said:

"A simple way to take measure of a country is to look at how many want in ... And how many want out."

Only two defining forces have ever offered to die for you:

1. Jesus Christ
2. The American G. I.

One died for your soul, the other for your freedom.

This is why we should not put criminals in jail, it only make them more criminal.

We shud reward criminals when they commit crimes that way they will quit doing criminal things.

Criminals are just like everyone else, except they commit crimes. Are they not fathers and mothers and fatherf@#$%ers and motherf#$%ers like the rest of us?

Oh, that explains everything. This is why the majority of muslims do not speak out against violence carried out in the name of their "religion" by the "few abusers" among them as they understand that this will cause more violence. This also explains why several US tax funded organizations wish to end Free Speech rights in whatever formums they can and silence any and all *words* of criticism... It will just lead to more violence.
And of course - those who perpetrate violent acts are not responsible - as someone made them act in such manner.

They are the victims of the following: oppression, Zionism, imperialism, racial discrimination, America, colonialism, neo-colonialism, post-neo-colonialism, more Zionism, misunderstanding, media distortions, lies, misconceptions,yet more Zionism, Western cultural hegemony, the end of the Caliphate, intolerance, and even more Zionism.

Islam needs a new slogan.

Islam: Peace Through Decapitation
Islam: No Dogs Allowed
Islam: No Girls Allowed

If pointing out the inherent violence in islam causes muslims to become violent then all the better. It is important for all people to continue to push the point made by Byzantine Emperor Manuel II Paleologus and quoted by Pope Benedict XVI.

Show me just what Muhammad brought that was new and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached.

The Byzantines were utterly destroyed by the enemy (muslims spreading islam) which illustrates the danger of the moment.

Islam can truly be a "religion of peace" when claiming that it is violent, or defaming its "prophet" is a crime - noone will be able to make
an accusation against it, or its "prophet" and get away with it.

I don't see why calling Islam violent is such a big deal. It is-everyone knows that. In fact, Muslims always seem to enjoy gloating about the violence-Bin Laden with 9/11, palestinian suicide bombers and A-Nut's constant calls for the end of Israel being among the many examples of such gloating. These idiots take pride in their bloody work so how is calling it bloody wrong? It's no more wrong than calling snow white.

THE MYTH OF ISLAMIC TOLERANCE & PEACE

A myth about islam has been formed in the West during the past 100 years. Advocates of the myth have accepted islams own selfunderstanding of islam as a religion of peace without being aware of the fact, that islamic understanding is founded on the religious thesis, that islam can not make war.

When muslims use weapons it is always an action of peace in order to defend their religion, regardsles of the weapons being used for attack or defence. And it is being done in the service of Allah. It is only infidels who makes war.

This concept has determined all history of islam.

The islamic myth is very firmly fixed and aggressively defended against any objection.

In Waltham Forest this week we have "Islam awareness week, where non-muslims will be able to discuss "the great things Islam has done for Britain" apparently. When muslims talk about how peacefull their religion is they truly believe it. They know that muslims around the world have committed more attrocities than any other group but the koran says they MUST act this way and so by their logic these attrocities are helping to promote Islam and can be nothing but peacefull. Sadly we are in the grip of a government that is happy to see it's own people die, it's MP's commit voting fraud and the imposition of sharia laws into our society. What we need is a FRANK discussion about Islam, but as usual we will not see any such thing. The first person to stand up and point out one of the many, many failing of islam will immediately be branded a "racist" or "islamophobic (a ridiculous word introduced by shariaists to stop the rightful questioning of the islamic "religion") and the conversation will end there.

Hey, Boys and Girls

Shaheedinshallah wants to mix it up verbally (at least verbally) with Robert. So he posted this reply to Robert (http://inshallahshaheed.wordpress.com/):

"Robert, are you actually trying to threaten a Muslim? Are you trying to threaten a member of the Ummah of Muhammad (sallallahu ‘alayhe wassallam) with boys that fill their bellies with McDonalds and who have homosexual feelings for each other? Are you trying to threaten me with school girls – whom you call men - that are adulterers and drunkards?! Are you trying to threaten me with children that are the scum of the earth and who are slaves of their desires and worship the revelations of their Government?"

Posted by: Ynkedoodl2 at November 30, 2006 1:58 PM

Notice that calling Muslims 'peaceful' doesn't make them peaceful and never has. So why would calling them violent have the effect of turning them violent all of a sudden? Muslims are NOT impervious to suggestion by non-Muslims. The Kuran tells them NOT to be anyway --and surely this is the case.

Muslims of course are violent to begin with--just as the Kuran calls upon them to be.

Muslims believe non-Muslims are stupid. Sometimes they are but not as often as they may have been led to believe.

Calling Islam violent makes Muslims act violently

Ali Bardakoglu seems to be admitting that Muslims act violently. Of course he's blaming non-Muslims for "making" the Muslims become violent, but he is admitting that Muslims are violent. Which, given any reasonable look at the statistics, is a verifiable and demonstrable fact. And which, given any reasonable amount of common sense, should have consequences for our policies and strategies.

Hmmm. Let's see. If I recall from my undergraduate philosophy courses, the obverse of that statement should be:

Thanks for the link. That reply really reinforced for me that Islam is the religion of peace. I wonder if the author knows that in Islam, not all of the virgins that the Islam warrior gets are female. Also, here in Germany, I've seen quite a few Turks in McDonalds.

We need to declare the treasonous speech in the mosques in the west as treason and take the Imams out and arrest them, try them and then execute them. I would recommend the arrest be carried out in the mosque with a large number of police dogs. I'd recommend police pigs, but I don't think there are any. As an execution method, I'd recommend death by being eaten by hungry pigs. I'm sure that would be considered as cruel and unusual punishment by the Supreme Court, but what the heck, I think dying by airplane into my workplace is also cruel and unusual.

Here is a comment I left on that Shaheedinshallah character's blog:

“Christianity is false and has become a man-made religion through its changing of the Bible…”

Sorry if this is a question you have answered repeatedly, but what exactly has been changed in the Bible which has caused it to become “man-made?” Also, what in the Quran is undeniably true, apart from what it SAYS is true? (e.i. Allah is god, Muhammad is his last and greatest prophet, other religious teachings that Muhammad instituted long after Christianity began.)

Anyone can say that something is true because it SAYS that it’s true, but what can be pointed to in an objective way to show that Islam is the true way to god? Also, I’d love to know from you about how our Bible has become “changed” in that it is now corrupted any more than the Quran HAS been a corrupt document ever since it’s been instituted as something “holy” by your so-called “prophet” (a prophet who never actually prophesied about anything).

Posted by: yohannbiimu at November 30, 2006 5:42 PM

The only thing that seems to matter to you at all is the Democratic Party, so I'm puzzled as to why you bother posting your obnoxious comments here on Jihad Watch.

Not sure what a troll like you gets out of fighting those you should be supporting who are also against radical Islam -- those who are on your side.

You keep advocating 'tolerance', but all you do is dish out an extreme LACK of tolerance. Maybe there's a forum you could start that better suites your need to fight with people. You could call it RepublicanChristianMoron Watch.

Posted by: champ at November 30, 2006 6:12 PM

Not surprisingly, Shaheedinshallah removed my post on his blog. Apparently, as the Quran does, he assumes that because he says it, it is undeniable fact, and that any who questions it is an infidel.

With apologies, a bit of doggerel:

“Islam is a peaceful religion.”
They’ll tell you that straight to you face.
And they’ll swear that it’s true,
Unless, of course, you
Aren’t a Muslim, then it’s not the case.

Sunnis, they all hate the Shiah.
The Shiah hate Sunnis as well.
But there’s no debating,
When it comes to hating,
They both hate the damned "Infidel".

Just who is an "Infidel", really?
It’s you and your kids and your mom.
If you’ve an aversion
To enforced conversion
You’re targets to “peaceful Islam”.

“Islam is a peaceful religion.”
We hear it all night on TV.
Each time that it’s said
We can count on more dead,
Who are peaceful as peaceful can be.

“Death!” cries the “peaceful religion”.
They shout it ‘til they’re out of breath.
“Death to the Jew!”
"Death to the Hindu!”
And “Death to America! Death!”

“It’s just a small group of fanatics.”
We’re told after each new assault.
“Ignore those who rant.
“Heed not those who chant.
And, besides, it’s America’s fault.”

“Islam is a peaceful religion.”
With hypnotic rhetoric they
Continue to gull us,
To soothe and to lull us
Until that “most glorious day”

When Islam, the “peaceful religion”
Has forced the free world to its knees
And the masks they now wear
From their faces they tear
And we see the true face of disease.

“Islam is a peaceful religion.”?
How long must we live with this lie?
It’s time for the Free
To rise up and decree:
“Our Liberty shall never die!”

We must tell this “peaceful religion”
Our tolerance is at an end.
We’ve been patient and kind
But you’re going to find
We won’t break just because we can bend.

Know this, Oh “peaceful religion”
And know it without any doubt.
Though we try to be fair,
You don’t want to be there
When our patience and kindness run out.

Very sincerely yours,

Interesting NY Sun article on Turkey and the Pope today. A couple of excerpts:

If, as Mr. Bardakoglu also lectured the pope, it is "Islamophobic" to say that Islam "was spread over the world by the sword," why is it that almost all the major conflicts in the world today occur on the fault lines between Islam and other faiths? Even in Turkey, the most secular of Muslim countries, persecution has reduced the proportion of non-Muslims in the population from a majority in Byzantine times to less than 1% today. It is still a crime in Turkey to refer to the Armenian genocide. And it is still dangerous to be an observant Christian or Jew. Synagogues in Istanbul were attacked by Islamist terrorists in 1985 and 2003, killing scores and wounding hundreds of Turkey's tiny Jewish minority.

[...]
Mr. Erdogan just could not resist ambushing the man who was supposedly his guest. After their private audience, Mr. Erdogan emerged to wow the waiting press by claiming that the pope had dropped his opposition to Turkish membership of the European Union. Mr. Erdogan then flew off to the NATO summit in Riga, leaving embarrassed Vatican officials to issue denials.

[...]
Mr. Erdogan and his ruling party are Islamists, dedicated to tearing down the wall that Ataturk erected to separate religion and politics. It is no accident that Mr. Erdogan refused to allow his country to be used by American forces against Saddam Hussein and still refuses to support Iraqi democracy.

On a visit to Oxford a few years ago, Mr. Erdogan took questions from the press. I asked him what he thought was meant when he was described as a "moderate Islamist," which seemed to me an oxymoron. The prime minister chose to interpret this as a question about Islam, rather than Islamism — apparently he does not recognize a distinction between religious and political Islam. "Moderate Islam," he said, did not exist, except in the minds of ignorant people in the West. Islam was one and indivisible. To divide Muslims into "moderates" and "extremists" was itself Islamophobic.
