In My Humble Opinion:
First we saw riots in the suburbs of Paris where disenfranchised Muslim youth set fires to cars and battled the police. For two weeks the youth went on a rampage of destruction and arson which threstened so spread. Now, because of a cartoon we have witnessed rioting spanning several countries in Europe with no end in sight. Outrage over cartoons portraying the prophet Mohammed in a somewhat negative manner? If Christians reacted to just a fraction of intolerance that we are met with on an increasing basis from the secular humanists in the US, can you imagine what would be happening?
Muslim apologists tell us that Islam is an enlightened religion with essesntially the same goals as Christianity. Really? Somehow I find that very difficult to believe and expert studies of the Koran do not bear that theory to be true. From the very beginning of Islam it has been spread by force and by sword. But let’s forget about the fact that non muslims or infidels are given three wonderful options consisting of converting to Islam, being killed, or being subjugated to nearly slave status paying taxes to your Muslim lords. Yep, that’s it, that is the only option and if Muslims have their choice, their preference is option number two or killing all infidels.
Ok, so muslim apologists tell us that despite a nearly unceasing onslaught of terrorist attacks spanning the globe in non muslim areas, that the terrorists are a small faction of the Muslim population and that the terrorists are a minority in the Muslim world. Really? Where is the evidence of all of these so called moderates then? Why aren’t the Muslim moderates standing up in force to counter the negative image of Muslims being created by the daily bombings, burning, and beheadings of all of these loving and tolerant muslims? I seem to have missed all reference to beheading non believers, burning everything in sight, and suicide bombings when I read the Bible.
Islam is reported as one of the fastest growing religions in the world. Muslims have flooded into Europe, Asia, and even the US for decades now. Despite being naturalized citizens of their adoptive and respective countries muslims still seem very willing if not eager to participate in fanatic activities such as rioting, burning, and bombing with very little prompting. How can that be? If they are born and raised right along side the other citizens and given the same oppotunities of everyone else then what could possibly compel them to behave that way? Yes I know that there are no lack of scholarly explanations with regard to socio economic impedus which affect the overall mindset and blah, blah, blah. The bottom line is this, these people, under the banner of Islam are ready, willing, and eager to burn, bomb, and kill with as little provocation as some cartoons.
Folks, the warning bells and whistles should be blaring at this point. Now we have a militant muslim leading a major Arab country and thumbing their nose at the UN over restarting their nuclear program? Oh my, does anyone belive for a second that the collective we is going to stand by and let Iran reach nuclear bomb capability? I really don’t think so and the question then becomes, what will the reprecussions be to strikes at Iran? Do the crusades come to mind?
But then, don’t take my word for it. If you are in doubt, pick up a copy of the Koran and you can spend all the time you want reading about the love and peaceful teachings of the prophet Mohammed as given him by Allah. And you can even be rewarded with 70 virgins in paradise and untold riches just for strapping on a bomb belt and blowing up as many infidels as possible. Hmmm, somehow I seem to be missing all of the love and tolerance as taught by the Koran here. But then again, this is just my humble opinion.
