What are they going to do about it?

In this week's Jihad Watch videoblog at Hot Air, I survey some of what the Pew Research Center poll results tell us about Muslims in America, and ask, What is the Muslim community in America going to do about it -- if anything?

it is time for the communities to just wake up....soon they will have to make the decision "fight or die"....

I sent this to my Congressman and Senator's Boxer and Feinstein.

Here's a link to contact individual Members of Congress:

An excellent video by Robert. Thank you yet again for clearly and logically framing the argument.

Sadly, the reaction of so called mainstream Muslim organizations, as well as the lack of any large scale revulsion that I can see among American Muslims over Jihadist activities that kill and maim so many has led me to conclude that there is much greater support for Islamic supremacy among American Muslims than they want us to know. Consider the Pew Survey, 26% of 18-29 year old Muslims are willing to admit they think suicide bombings might be justified to "defend" Islam. I'm willing to bet that was only the percentage that was willing to admit it and actual support is much higher than that.

Combine this with the violent reactions worldwide by Muslims over such trivial things like the Danish Cartoons or Pope Benedict's quote of a Byzantine Emperor so many centuries ago and it's clear to me where so called moderate Muslims really stand. Hint: it ain't with us Infidels.

I'd flip the question around: "What are we non-Muslims going to do about Islam in America?"

Blind acceptance of this cult is not the right option to take. Offend a few million people now, or await the civil war later?

I'll take Civil War for two hundred, Foehammer.

Good commentary. I do hope there will be follow-up commentaries by you on other aspects of this poll - such as 40% thinking Arabs weren't behind 9/11, 38% opposed to Muslims marrying non-Muslims, 57% believing that Muslims in the US should not adapt US customs, 50% thinking the Quran is to be taken literally word for word, etc.

Also, on your main page, can you have a link to the original pdf up, so that one can refer to it anytime - just in case Pew decides to pull it if Muslims start to howl?

The civil war will come, because the dhimmis in the left elite will bring it on. No, they don't believe they will nor, to be certain, will they be willing to take any responsibility for it. Assuming the Dems win in 2008, the shuckin and jivin to be "nice" to Islam will reach new heights of the ridiculous.

Just remember, the time to compromise is....after the war.

10 percent of the more than 1,300 Soldiers and nearly 450 Marines in the survey admitted they had mistreated civilians or damaged property “when it was not necessary.

mOslems in America aren't going to do anything about it, especially given the latest (and shockingly unexpected) blurt from, of all loonies: CAIR
In essence, "islamism is islam".

Does it get any clearer than that?
