I have recently begun further study on the concept that Islam as a flawed faith. The Qur’an leans unevenly on violence, aggression and conquest and thus is an obstacle to peaceful, civilized humanity.

Some of your past articles have shed light on this concept. “Benedict the Brave” speaks of the Pope and his attempt to shed light on this concept also.

Why is it, that when some outspoken pundit (or Pope or other world leader) raises a legitimate question concerning Islamic doctine, or a newspaper prints a comic strip satire about some Muslim oddity, the Muslim community seems to go hysterical, kind of like a child throwing a fit or tantrum? Although a child doesn’t burn property and make physical threats, the Muslims actions seem so immature and outragous, how are we supposed to respond to such thin-skinned behavior?

Benedict the Brave

Absolutely accurate on all points !! But, no one is listening. I think the pope is only now awakening to the truth. And, where is there a leader who will do the right thing ?

If the West doesn’t start repatriating the Muslims back to their lands of origin the world will rue their own negligence.

Personally, I believe it is already too late, given the mindset of world leaders.

The story however, and the circumstances surrounding it should espouse more fear and concern than is evident. I am sure that the truth is slowly dawning on those that pay attention: There may be no answer to the muslim problem. Remember in school when there was a class bully? He/she got away with murder most of the time because of the cowardly way that they attacked and an unwillingness for others to step in and stop it. The passives sat impassively while acts of terrorism on a personal scale were committed against others. Fortunately, the school bell eventually rang, the ***hole was packed on a bus and off he went..in a few months, that year was over, and the bully was gone for good. In this case, there may be no bell. No bus. Just an infernal unholy war. Where the true stench of sulfur will be present and obvious. An ignorant muslim preacher calls for a holy war because he quotes someone from over 600 years ago. The pope spoke the truth. As a result, a bunch of hoodlums attacked and burned some churches. They should come visit the south like that, and prepare for a good ole country ass whoopin!

We are already so heavily infiltrated that urban warfare to rival that in Baghdad will be the rule of the day. The articles this week in WND suggesting that muslims are being urged to leave the U.S. are dense smoke from a fire that is already burning. Extremists have no respect for life. They live in a world that is duplicitous at best. The rules/laws/religious edicts are bent to meet their current mindset. The Ishmaelites live their lives with a constant grudge from a conflict in a tent long ago. Abraham should have done far more than just send Ishmael and his mother packing.

Sounds like an American politician. If you can get an American politician to tell the truth in the first place.
