D. C. Watson collects some interesting quotations that portray Muslims in the West in a somewhat different light from what you might hear from, say, Allen Colmes:
What have the spokespersons for the Muslim community in Western nations been saying in public? That they only want to be a part of Western culture? That they only hope for mutual respect? That they are living out their dream of being residents of welcomed plurality in the most advanced nations in the world? Well, not exactly.The nice thing about the United States and the West in general is the fact that we can make up our own minds. We can review information and arrive at our own conclusions. The following information is intended to give you another opportunity to do this.
Introducing those who have spoken publicly as representatives of Islam in the West:
United States: “We must not forget that Allah's rules have to be established in all lands..." ~ Imam Muzammil H. Siddiqi, Islamic Society of North America
http://www.jihadwatch.org/archives/009583.phpUnited States: “Ultimately we can never be full citizens of this country. . . because there is no way we can be fully committed to the institutions and ideologies of this country” ~ Ihsan Bagby.
http://www.nationalreview.com/mowbray/mowbray040303.aspGreat Britain: "We don't make a distinction between civilians and non-civilians…Only between Muslims and unbelievers. And the life of an unbeliever has no value." ~ British career welfare recipient Sheikh Omar Bakri
http://www.jihadwatch.org/dhimmiwatch/archives/2005/07/007262print.htmlUnited States: “To permit Islam to attain its rightful place requires that the ideology of Islam prevail over the mental horizon of the American people.” ~ Shamim A. Siddiqi
http://www.lorenzenfamily.com/paul/islam/militant-islam.htmlUnited States: “I have a vision in America, Muslims owning property all over, Muslim businesses, factories, halal meat, supermarkets, all these buildings owned by Muslims. Can you see the vision, can you see the Newark International Airport and a John Kennedy Airport and LaGuardia having Muslim fleets of planes, Muslim pilots. Can you see our trucks rolling down the highways, Muslim names.” ~ Imam Siraj Wahhaj
http://www.danielpipes.org/article/77
United States: TV Host Kathy Fountain to Ahmed Bedier: On the Palestinian Islamic Jihad and Sami Al Arian’s involvement: Fountain asked, "If he was associating with the Palestinian Islamic Jihad, doesn't that seem immoral, in your opinion?"Answer: "To a certain degree. Now, before 1995 there was nothing immoral about it." ~Ahmed Bedier, the Communications Director of CAIR-Florida.
http://www.americansagainsthate.com/releases/PR-BedierPIJ.htmBritain: "The real weapons of mass destruction are the desire for martyrdom. Millions of you are ready to be shaheed. Half a million martyrdom shaheed is enough for Muslims to control the whole of earth forever. In the end of the day, Islam must control earth, whether we like it or not."~ Abu Hamza al-Masri, Islamic Cleric
http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/news/articles/10435138?source=Evening%20StandardUnited States: “Islam isn't in America to be equal to any other faiths, but to become dominant. The Koran…should be the highest authority in America, and Islam the only accepted religion on Earth.” ~ Omar Ahmad, Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR).
http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=32341Australia: "I am telling you that my religion doesn't tolerate other religion. It doesn't tolerate. The only one law which needs to spread, it can be here or anywhere else, has to be Islam"~ Abu Bakr, Muslim Cleric
http://www.cnn.com/2005/WORLD/asiapcf/11/07/australia.terror.bakr/Canada: "We know what happened over the last week and how the brothers of the monkeys and the swine (Jews) assassinated and murdered one of the heroes of Islam, the Salah al-Din of this day and age, Ahmed Yassin." "Then what will happen? Listen to the good news after that. The prophet ... says that the stone and the tree will say, 'Oh Muslim, oh slave of Allah, that verily behind me is a Jew. Then come and kill him,'"~ Sheik Younus Kathrada
http://www.cbc.ca/bc/story/bc_abubaker20041022.htmlUnited States: “I wouldn't want to create the impression that I wouldn't like the government of the United States to be Islamic sometime in the future.” ~ Ibrahim Hooper, (CAIR).
http://www.frontpagemag.com/Articles/ReadArticle.asp?ID=6473Canada: “Any Israeli over age 18 is a legitimate target for suicide bombers because adult Israelis were required to do military service.” They are part of the Israeli army, even if they have civilian clothes." Mohamed Elmasry, President, Canadian Islamic Congress.
http://www.cbc.ca/story/canada/national/2004/10/25/muslimleaders_041025.htmlAustralia/New Zealand: "We are proud of the Islamic resistance in Palestine, Lebanon, Kashmir, and everywhere in the world that seeks to achieve its legitimate rights in accordance with the international resolutions, the human rights conventions, and the U.N. resolutions..."We are also proud of the Islamic resistance that liberated southern Lebanon, led by Hizbullah, the legitimate Lebanese national movement, that forced the Israeli occupation army to withdraw from southern Lebanon, dragging trails of disappointment and shame behind it.”
"We are also proud of what Hamas and the Islamic Jihad are both doing in the occupied territories. We support the resistance and support, with all our might, the martyrdom operations carried out by the Palestinian liberation movements, operations that are a legitimate act against the cruel occupation, according to all international norms and conventions.
"Also, whoever carries out a martyrdom [operation] is a pure Shahid and one of the men of Paradise. Moreover, he stands at the head of the Shahids." ~ Taj Al-Din Hamed Abdallah Al-Hilali.
http://www.jihadwatch.org/dhimmiwatch/archives/000924.phpUnited States: "The first principle is that terrorism, and terrorism alone, is the path to liberation. . . . If what they mean by jihad is terrorism, then we are terrorists." ~ Fawaz Damra, Convicted Imam, Ohio
http://www.miami.com/mld/miamiherald/news/state/12230983.htm?source=rss&channel=miamiherald_stateUnited States: “Let us continue the protests. Let us damn America. Let us damn Israel. Let us damn their allies until death.” “Mohammad is leader. The Qu’ran is our constitution. Jihad is our path. Victory to Islam. Death to Israel. Revolution! Revolution! Until Victory! Rolling, rolling to Jerusalem.” ~ Sami Al Arian
http://www.siteinstitute.org/bin/articles.cgi?ID=news5203&Category=news&Subcategory=0United States: "The Day of Judgment will never happen until you fight the Jews. . . . The trees and stones will say, oh Muslim, there is a Jew hiding behind me. Come and kill him!" ~ Hatem Bazian, Lecturer, University of California at Berkeley.
http://www.politicalusa.com/columnists/schlussel/schlussel_011.htmUnited States: “Muslims cannot accept the legitimacy of the secular system in the United States, for it "is against the orders and ordainments of Allah . . . the orientation of the Qur'an pushes us in the exact opposite direction as the forces that are at work in the American political spectrum."~Zaid Shakir, former Muslim chaplain at Yale.

Here's some beauties from Oz:
SHEIKH MOHAMMAD OMRAN: We choose to come to Australia as Australia welcomed us to come. You didn't choose to come to Australia anyhow. And we believe we have more rights than you because we choose Australia to be our country and you didn't. So don't come to me now because you are the majority or you are in the power now to say to me, "Well, this is only my way or the highway". I won't accept that.
(THE AUSTRALIAN): The leader of the nation's first Muslim political party says all Australians should be living under Islamic law dictated by the Koran.
Keysar Trad, of the Islamic Friendship Society : Anti-terror laws could, ironically, justify a terror attack.
SHEIKH KHALID YASIN: There's no such thing as a Muslim having a non-Muslim friend, so a non-Muslim could be your associate but they can't be a friend. They're not your friend because they don't understand your religious principles and they cannot because they don't understand your faith.
PETER OVERTON: I think the average person out there would be amazed that you don't think Osama bin Laden was responsible for September 11.
SHEIKH MOHAMMAD OMRAN: There is a mastermind behind these things and the mastermind 100 percent he is from the US Government.
Federation of Australian Muslim Students and Youth president Chaabon Omran : There is nothing in Islam that condones the killing of innocents and non-combatants.

"we must not forget that allahs rules have to be established in all lands" - reminds me of a joke
the late pres zia ul haq is having his weekly consultation with allah - it goes like this -
zia - oh allah, when will pakistan be free from the threat of the infidel indians?
allah - oh my servant zia, not in your lifetime
zia - oh mighty and allknowing allah, when will pakistan be free from corruption?
allah - oh faithful servant, also not in your lifetime
zia - o lord of the worlds, grant me but one more question, when will pakistan become truly islamic?
allah (stroking beard gently)- mmmm o my son, not in my lifetime

Keep the truth coming at us, we don't need no watered down version that passes as some politically correct whatever. I really like your articles DC Watson.

I like to think of myself as a God fearing liberal, but sometime, when I'm alone, I like to daydream about what the world would be like, if the West had the same kind of attitud than militan Islam.

Muslims arrive in Western countries like an arrogant irredentist force. Here in Oz we had the mufti suggesting that Islam had a presence that pre-dated Aboriginal history.
I find it amusing that the first thing that Muslim eleutheromaniacs find so confronting is FREEDOM, the one thing they allegedly desire. Fancy a population that has the right to reject religion; where women are free to wear short skirts; where people speak their minds; where criticism of the clergy remains du jour; and other signs of democracy at work.
To walk up to one of these muslim anhedonic misogynists and tell him to stick the prophet and the black rock where the sun don't shine is like a declaration of war.

we need to get all this information out to the general public about what those mullah have said. We have show that not all religions are equal, and have to equate islam to a cult, as most Westerners know cults are dangerous!

These anthologies of telling quotes that D. C. Watson provides should be printed out, and then -- like his list of those who have been charged, arrested, or convicted of Jihad-related crimes, distributed to all the doubting thomases among one's acquiantances.
