“But pause for a moment to think of the horrible human cost of Islamic jihad.”
By practicing the political act of Jihad, Muhammad and his followers caused the death of about 270 million non-muslims.*

The problem with most Muslims is that they sincerely believe blowing up Korean tourists (or any other innocent person) is against Islam. That’s why I keep saying that most Muslims (except those playing Taqiyya) are not True Muslims .
They know nothing about their own religion. They don’t read their books and if they do, they think that this or that happened in a certain time, to a certain people, in some particular circumstances and should not be repeated.
As for the few of them who do read their books, they end up imitating their prophet (terrorism), or leave Islam (apostates), or simply shut up out of fear.
We need to educate the ignorant, encourage the fearful, protect the apostate and KILL the terrorist.
How to tell which is which? that’s another dilemma. God help us!

Well spoken sir. I have worked with muslims, and on the rare occasions religion has popped up, and I have mentioned an episode in Muhammad’s life which Islamists and jihadists are copying, I got blank looks. They never tried to justify it.
This led me to conclude that either they don’t know much about Muhammad (only the “good parts”), in which case, as you rightly point out, they need educating, ironically by non-muslims or ex-muslims; or they are simply ashamed of parts of their prophet’s life (almost certainly true), in which case this sense of shame will only get worse, and more and more of the “decent” muslims leave the faith, by educating them. Eventually, the only ones left will be “scum”, as predicted by their prophet:
“Muslims will be the scum and the rubbish even though their numbers may increase; the enemy will not fear Muslims anymore. This will be because the Muslims will love world and dislike death…”(Sunaan Abu Dawud, 37.4284)
“The problem with most Muslims is that they sincerely believe blowing up Korean tourists (or any other innocent person) is against Islam. ”
Do you have evidence to substantiate this wildly sweeping claim of yours that purports to read the minds of approximately 750 million Muslims hailing from all over the globe?

Israel could do her international standing with South Korea a lot of good if she takes out 4 jihadi clowns and tells the world it is revenge for this attack on innocent tourists. Such an action might be worth a lot in business contracts, too!

Somebody once asked me why I’m so angry all the time. Actually, I’m not. To coin a phrase from a girlfriend of mine I guess I just get in “work-mode”. Especially when, from morning to night, I read articles like this and know beyond a shadow of a doubt that our Special Forces could clean these fuckers up like a mess spilled on the kitchen floor. Every time I see these things I want to SCREAM at people like John McCain and all the rest who are sitting on their dead asses while Christians are being Biblically slaughtered all over the world. I’m practically kicking over the furniture when I realize that the Muslim Brotherhood is dictating National Security and every other kind of policy right from within the White House.
(It doesn’t help that I’m studying Revelation and Islam is almost slapping me in the face trying to convince me it’s the “Antichrist”.)
Never in this country’s history have we ever been able to attach “treason” to “presidency” like we have with this criminal administration. And that’s not hyperbole; Obummer and almost every one of his collaborators have commited felonies. Every single one of them has come before Congressional Hearings and Lied, Denied and Plead the 5th when it comes to those felonies.
Every time I see their ugly faces I react physically. I even wrote and erased a note the other day wishing they wouldn’t put pictures of punks like Aslan, and that fairy asshole with the blue glasses and others because every time I see their face I just want to put a fist through it.
I’ve been an activist in the past. I used to take on issues like Freedom of Information, (Public Documents), Driver’s Rights. Job Training, etc.
And not since I’ve taken on Illegal Immigration, (I worked in construction) and Family Law and Father’s Rights (My boys were abducted with the help of the courts after I was injured on the job) have I reacted so viscerally to an issue.
Like immigration and the millions of fathers who have been turned into criminals (thanks largely to illegals who have stolen their jobs) I see CLEARLY what Islam is doing to this country. And when we finally start getting kicked in the ass it won’t be anything like “Press One For English”. In just a few years we’re going to follow Britain who are shortly going to reap the benifits of allowing their people to become terror tourists. I don’t think it’s unreasonable to take it personally when we get on our knees like Boston University did when they accommodated Muslim demands and moved entire sections of books, erased the Dewey Decimal System and afforded Islamic “holy” books a place of special honor in the BOSTON fucking library. The SAME goddamned place that ideology murdered Americans during a marathon!!!
Basically pissing on everybody else’s “holy” books. And ME, personally, as far as I’m concerned.
I once joked to Robert that I was once one of those “road rage” drivers who was “cured” one day by a couple of off-duty CHP.
I still have a temper. Nothing even close what it used to be. (I even meditate.) But my blood boils when I see this kind of stuff happening progressively. And with no signs of stopping. AND almost encouraged by those whose job it is to stop it. (Like the tacit approval given to those Audio Terrorists in their “boomer cars” spreading like a disease all over the country.)
I’m not the sharpest blade in the drawer. As a matter of fact I usually qualify by introducing myself as a “dumb-ass construction worker”. But a little bit of knowledge can be a deficit sometimes and not the asset it’s supposed to be. A friend of mine told me once, (I might have even read it in Mere Christianity. I’m not sure.), that if you were were able to suddenly see all of Satan’s demons that are supposed to be floating around you, that you’d go insane.
I feel that way sometimes with my mind full of “Indoctrination U.” by Horowitz. Andrew Bostom’s two “Legacy” books. Muslim Mafia by Gaubatz and Sperry. Because They Hate by Brigitte Gabriel. Invasion by Malkin. The Haj by Leon Uris. Reliance of the Traveller, The Al-Queda Reader, The Professors, The Grand Jihad, American Jihad, The Looming Tower, Plunder by Greenhut, The War Against Boys, Taken Into Custody, Mean Justice, One Nation Under Arrest, Until Proven InnocentStolen ContinentsThe Government RacketJusticeNot Vengeance and on and on and onandonandon. And sometimes it’s just damned hard to “turn it off”. Especially when I can see “it” coming.
I’ve got a “STAND WITH ISRAEL” sign in my front window. (A big ugly thing I made myself with spare cardboard.) The street in front of my house is like a freeway most of the time. (Another reason I get so crazy. lol) I’ve been here almost four years. Not one single person has ever asked me about that sign. I remember when I was a kid. I was thirteen and had run away from home. (I’m 56 now) I found myself in Long Beach walking through this neighborhood. This guy had a sign saying something about a “well” in the front yard. So I knocked on his door. He was an old guy who told me he’d been there when his “neighborhood” had been nothing but open fields in every direction. And he’d dug his own well. Years later the city came along and forced him to hook up to the city’s main and charged him for water. One thing I still remember; He told me hundreds of people had knocked on his door just as I did.

I had a Stand with Israel sign in my yard for about two years and a couple of months ago it just disappeared. I’d like to put another up but figure out a way that it can’t disappear. I agree with much of what you say. Talk about blindness with Kerry, McCain, etc. Obama lives in another dimension.

My heart breaks for the folks that have to live in regions that they are bombed at any given time. I’m so thankful at the present time my grandchildren do not have to live with that reality. I could not imagine the fear of living in that region of the world. I fear that we will one day know this feeling more than we want to. If the law makers in this country keep ignoring the fact that the radical jihadists want to bring this fear to America. We need to get them to get with the program. We need to get this administration out and get someone who knows what is going on or one that has a backbone and will stand up to our enemies.

Islam is a religion invented by a self serving self proclaimed fake prophet to justify his own activities as a plundering warlord, murderer, robber rapist and paedophile using the gullibility of mostly under educated and intellectually, emotionally and sexually immature individuals whom he forbade from fulfilling their unrealistic desires and fantasies in their life, but promised them rewards he was unable to deliver in some after-life.
In order to better motivate the gullible who had no patience to wait for the after-life, he offered to share the plunder he made on earth, including slaves and sex-slaves, as long as they give a substantial portion to him.
While extreme and criminal in content and context, some unsavoury elements of his monumental fraud simply copied and largely expanded on the unfulfillable promises made by other religions who relied less on plunder and violence.

I have noticed that Muslim terrorists have little difficulty in placing bombs to kill people. Pious Muslims are turning the world into a paranoid world and the paranoia seem proportional with the Muslim population….the more Muslims you have the higher the paranoia is….ban Muslim immigration as Muslims who arrive, their inculcated hostility undeclared at customs, packed carefully in their mental package, and to be unpacked as soon as they are safely in the country will in one way or another cause trouble.
Inchoatesays
Our major lethal problem ( i.e. here inside America) is accepting the reality that we are in a new World War with Muslims originating from inside all of their areas of their trans-border Muslim influence worldwide. This started years ago with the attack on our Marine barracks in Beirut, others may cite still earlier Muslim attacks going back to the Barbary Coast Pirates’ day.
We cannot continue with the now outdated but traditional ideas that wars are fought between legally established nations with working borders. No more red and white striped barriers raised and lowered across roadways with quaint guardhouses with pointed roof tops and flags.
We must accept and reciprocate the new trans-national guerrilla warfare mentality that our Muslim enemy so successfully employs against us.
Muslims repeatedly state that they are at War with non-Muslims. We steadfastly refuse to accept that Declaration of War against us from Muslims.
Forget United Nations conferences and investigative committees issuing the usual demands for cessations. These U.N. committees will be by their established routine quite naturally anti-American.
There’s an excellent article on this very subject in the Middle East Review of the century ago Sykes-Picot Agreement-established “national” borders being no longer relevant and just why that is so.
[..am not able to paste a link here, but Google will help out those interested….start by entering “Sykes-Picot Agreement”]
Last, the World no longer can count on American blood and boatloads of cash being fire-hosed everywhere. We may be waking up, finally, that there is no gratitude from the World for our past century of shedding blood on our mutual behalf. The usual “Yanks Go Home!” after the major crisis du jour seems to’ve been settled is about to be replaced with American neo-Isolationism.
Personally, I’m in favor of that.
You’re right; this is an unprecedented type of war. And among the qualities that make it so is another you did not explicitly mention, though it is implicit in one thing you wrote:
“Muslims repeatedly state that they are at War with non-Muslims. We steadfastly refuse to accept that Declaration of War against us from Muslims.”
The West refuses to accept that declaration of war because the West remains deceived by the Stealth wing of the jihad, by which a majority of Muslims pretend to be non-violent and relatively un-fanatical about their religion. Sure, they don’t pretend very convincingly to us Jihad Watchers, and often in various ways (e.g., in surveys and polls) they reveal the sinister face from behind a slipping mask in between the lines. But so far, it has worked for them, because the majority of Western people desperately do not want to believe the horrible truth, that some 900 million Muslims constitute a diverse global army waging a multifarious war against us.
Another unique feature of their warfare against us, directly related to the Stealth Jihad mentioned above: it involves behaviors and tactics that seem benign, and only push the envelope (relatively) mildly, in the guise of “minority rights”, exploiting our White Western shame and phobia at being “racist” (the worst crime in the eyes of Politically Correct Multi-Culturalism), and accompanied by a massive influx of immigration into the West never before seen in all history since Islam began 1400 years ago. This particular tactic Muslims deploy is acutely ironic, for it conjures up in our “correctly” haunted minds the memory of the Holocaust and other similar “genocides” (of the American Indian for Americans; of various primitives of the Third World for Europeans), and relentlessly puts up interference against anyone who calls dire attention and concerns to the problem of Muslims — casting them as potential victims of our perennially and intrinsically wicked propensity to actualize our supposedly innate White Western Racism against these poor, precious masses of Brown People only streaming into our lands to find a “better life”. This with acute irony and with astonishingly Orwellian cleverness portrays what are in fact an army of Brown Hitlers as Innocent Victims, and what are in fact Innocent Victims as Potential White Hitlers itching to “do it all over again” — now against the New Jews, the Muslims.
This is not my portrayal — it is how Muslim apologists slyly frame the whole issue; and how our majority of guillible, naive, politically correct dupes in the West go right along with this narrative, thus enabling our mortal enemies with sincere eyebrows arching self-righteously in ethical narcissism over Wilsonianly starry eyes bruised like abused housewives behind the rose-colored glasses of Denial.
Anushirvansays
Sometimes I am wondering what tourists (Western, Korean or otherwise) are actually trying to prove by visiting unstable Muslim-majority countries ?
It’s as if these people are assuming that the whole Muslim world will conduct itself according to the tourists’ wishes, and Muslims will have to oblige.
“Yeah, you people, we are actually visiting this country of yours, without us spending our good money on your goods and services, you would not survive. We’ll be doing your local economies a favor, so you’d better reciprocate by refraining from making things unsafe for us philanthropists as long as we are walking around flaunting our stuff. You can get back to your violence as soon as we have left.”
Or something like that. I suppose there’s some sort of ill-conceived logic behind that, as if all the Muslim violence will grind to a halt as soon as the bobo world traveler starts wading in. Fool’s logic, if you ask me.
The Islamist universities in Iran and Saudi Arabia teach the violent passages of the Quran. The graduates of these universities then travel the world to teach the doctrines of violent jihad. To eradicate the source that seeds the minds to commit violence in the name of Islam, these Islamist universities should be destroyed and the administrators imprisoned. Otherwise, the violent doctrines of Islam will continue to be legitimate, and the graduates will be welcomed and respected wherever they travel, to so many in the future. Other than military confrontation, how should the West shut down the Islamist universities in the nations of Saudi Arabia, Iran, Turkey, Malaysia, and wherever?
Western leaders know the source of violence perpetrated by Islamists.

Imagine if you had been there. Be thankful that you weren’t. But pause for a moment to think of the horrible human cost of Islamic jihad.
………………………………….
I think about it every day. One constant reminder is the tally of Jihad terror attacks since 9/11 on the right-hand side of this page—22,462 as of this writing. Most of these attacks involve multiple murders.
There are times when I’ll post, and in refreshing the page I’ll find that the number has gone up by one or two—and I’ll know that that bland numeral almost certainly reflects the death of innocent people, just as that distant puff of smoke did in the video above.
These people hate the West and America. We need to wake up to the danger. Our leaders are useless.
The principal stated aims of al-Qaeda are to drive Americans and American influence out of all Muslim nations, especially Saudi Arabia; destroy Israel; and topple pro-Western dictatorships around the Middle East. Bin Laden also said that he wishes to unite all Muslims and establish, by force if necessary, an Islamic nation adhering to the rule of the first Caliphs.
According to bin Laden’s 1998 fatwa (religious decree), it is the duty of Muslims around the world to wage holy war on the U.S., American citizens, and Jews. Muslims who do not heed this call are declared apostates (people who have forsaken their faith).
Al-Qaeda’s ideology, often referred to as “jihadism,” is marked by a willingness to kill “apostate” —and Shiite—Muslims and an emphasis on jihad. Although “jihadism” is at odds with nearly all Islamic religious thought, it has its roots in the work of two modern Sunni Islamic thinkers: Mohammad ibn Abd al-Wahhab and Sayyid Qutb.
Al-Wahhab was an 18th-century reformer who claimed that Islam had been corrupted a generation or so after the death of Mohammed. He denounced any theology or customs developed after that as non-Islamic, including more than 1,000 years of religious scholarship. He and his supporters took over what is now Saudi Arabia, where Wahhabism remains the dominant school of religious thought.
Sayyid Qutb, a radical Egyptian scholar of the mid-20th century, declared Western civilization the enemy of Islam, denounced leaders of Muslim nations for not following Islam closely enough, and taught that jihad should be undertaken not just to defend Islam, but to purify it.
Salah says
“But pause for a moment to think of the horrible human cost of Islamic jihad.”
By practicing the political act of Jihad, Muhammad and his followers caused the death of about 270 million non-muslims.*

But so far, it has worked for them, because the majority of Western people desperately do not want to believe the horrible truth, that some 900 million Muslims constitute a diverse global army waging a multifarious war against us.
Another unique feature of their warfare against us, directly related to the Stealth Jihad mentioned above: it involves behaviors and tactics that seem benign, and only push the envelope (relatively) mildly, in the guise of “minority rights”, exploiting our White Western shame and phobia at being “racist” (the worst crime in the eyes of Politically Correct Multi-Culturalism), and accompanied by a massive influx of immigration into the West never before seen in all history since Islam began 1400 years ago. This particular tactic Muslims deploy is acutely ironic, for it conjures up in our “correctly” haunted minds the memory of the Holocaust and other similar “genocides” (of the American Indian for Americans; of various primitives of the Third World for Europeans), and relentlessly puts up interference against anyone who calls dire attention and concerns to the problem of Muslims — casting them as potential victims of our perennially and intrinsically wicked propensity to actualize our supposedly innate White Western Racism against these poor, precious masses of Brown People only streaming into our lands to find a “better life”. This with acute irony and with astonishingly Orwellian cleverness portrays what are in fact an army of Brown Hitlers as Innocent Victims, and what are in fact Innocent Victims as Potential White Hitlers itching to “do it all over again” — now against the New Jews, the Muslims.
This is not my portrayal — it is how Muslim apologists slyly frame the whole issue; and how our majority of guillible, naive, politically correct dupes in the West go right along with this narrative, thus enabling our mortal enemies with sincere eyebrows arching self-righteously in ethical narcissism over Wilsonianly starry eyes bruised like abused housewives behind the rose-colored glasses of Denial.

Sometimes I am wondering what tourists (Western, Korean or otherwise) are actually trying to prove by visiting unstable Muslim-majority countries ?
It’s as if these people are assuming that the whole Muslim world will conduct itself according to the tourists’ wishes, and Muslims will have to oblige.
“Yeah, you people, we are actually visiting this country of yours, without us spending our good money on your goods and services, you would not survive. We’ll be doing your local economies a favor, so you’d better reciprocate by refraining from making things unsafe for us philanthropists as long as we are walking around flaunting our stuff. You can get back to your violence as soon as we have left.”
Or something like that. I suppose there’s some sort of ill-conceived logic behind that, as if all the Muslim violence will grind to a halt as soon as the bobo world traveler starts wading in. Fool’s logic, if you ask me.
Tough luck, I’d say. Keep being delusional, keep getting yourself killed.
No one should ever visit a Muslim country, point final. But some people can’t ever be rational.

The Islamist universities in Iran and Saudi Arabia teach the violent passages of the Quran. The graduates of these universities then travel the world to teach the doctrines of violent jihad. To eradicate the source that seeds the minds to commit violence in the name of Islam, these Islamist universities should be destroyed and the administrators imprisoned. Otherwise, the violent doctrines of Islam will continue to be legitimate, and the graduates will be welcomed and respected wherever they travel, to so many in the future. Other than military confrontation, how should the West shut down the Islamist universities in the nations of Saudi Arabia, Iran, Turkey, Malaysia, and wherever?

Imagine if you had been there. Be thankful that you weren’t. But pause for a moment to think of the horrible human cost of Islamic jihad.

I think about it every day. One constant reminder is the tally of Jihad terror attacks since 9/11 on the right-hand side of this page—22,462 as of this writing. Most of these attacks involve multiple murders.
There are times when I’ll post, and in refreshing the page I’ll find that the number has gone up by one or two—and I’ll know that that bland numeral almost certainly reflects the death of innocent people, just as that distant puff of smoke did in the video above.
God, I hate Islam.

The group that claimed responsibility for this bombing are linked to al Qaeda. They are growing. Here are their aims:
http://www.infoplease.com/spot/al-qaeda-terrorism.html
These people hate the West and America. We need to wake up to the danger. Our leaders are useless.
The principal stated aims of al-Qaeda are to drive Americans and American influence out of all Muslim nations, especially Saudi Arabia; destroy Israel; and topple pro-Western dictatorships around the Middle East. Bin Laden also said that he wishes to unite all Muslims and establish, by force if necessary, an Islamic nation adhering to the rule of the first Caliphs.
According to bin Laden’s 1998 fatwa (religious decree), it is the duty of Muslims around the world to wage holy war on the U.S., American citizens, and Jews. Muslims who do not heed this call are declared apostates (people who have forsaken their faith).
Al-Qaeda’s ideology, often referred to as “jihadism,” is marked by a willingness to kill “apostate” —and Shiite—Muslims and an emphasis on jihad. Although “jihadism” is at odds with nearly all Islamic religious thought, it has its roots in the work of two modern Sunni Islamic thinkers: Mohammad ibn Abd al-Wahhab and Sayyid Qutb.
Al-Wahhab was an 18th-century reformer who claimed that Islam had been corrupted a generation or so after the death of Mohammed. He denounced any theology or customs developed after that as non-Islamic, including more than 1,000 years of religious scholarship. He and his supporters took over what is now Saudi Arabia, where Wahhabism remains the dominant school of religious thought.
Sayyid Qutb, a radical Egyptian scholar of the mid-20th century, declared Western civilization the enemy of Islam, denounced leaders of Muslim nations for not following Islam closely enough, and taught that jihad should be undertaken not just to defend Islam, but to purify it.
