My solution is as horrific as you claim. I would declare a war on islam. I would start by deporting all muslims to the land of their ancestors. Let their native countries deal the problems that they, themselves, have created and perpetuated. Let them fight among themselves and destroy themselves instead of us. All aid should be cut off so that they were forced to live on either oil revenue or revenue created by ingenuity, resourcefulness and inventiveness.

Agreed. Of course a moonbat like peskin thinks the idea of forcing muslims to be self-sufficient and stop living off the west amounts to an extremist position. This is why he responded with that sarcastic post. ... See all content Hide content

Rongrand:

Laura is right a majority of Americans Christians support Israel. It’s the secular-progressive movement that wants to destroy the Judeo-Christian principals the country was founded on.

There is no reason for Christians not to support Israel or our Jewish brother and sisters.

Why anti-Semitic ******** Why anti-Israel ********* Why anti-Zionist *********** Why?

Jews are peaceful people led by G-d back to the Holy Land to live in peace.

Fought wars only in defense of it’s sovereign rights and to protect her people.

Why not anti-Hamas ******* Why not anti-Hezbullah ******** Why not anti-Islamic terrorist. Why not.

These all represent hate.

Please tell me then, why Israel and her people??

Ron: you are utterly original….perceptive…incisive…..truthseeking…. an enormous pleasure to read and learn from your brilliant comments.

No wonder you are often described by Yamit and your numerous other admirers as a Goyishe Kopp.- Which in yiddish is the highest compliment possible from a Jew to a Gentile. Mazel Tov. ... See all content Hide content

I continue to tell you time and time again that the vast majority of Americans support Israel,

There is no such animal as ,”moderate Muslim.” There is either a Muslim who pratices their faith (domination) or an un practising one. Islam is a horrible way of life period!

What does moderate Muslim mean? Adjectives such as moderate or radical are never used to describe people of other faiths. In describing Muslims, why is the adjective “peaceful” not used?

The phrase moderate Muslim has been used to describe Mahmood Abbas, yet Abbas has not only tolerated, but promoted antisemitism within all levels of Palestinian society and has not only tolerated , but facilitated Jihadist Jew hating elements such as the al Aqsa Martyr’s Brigade which is considered a terrorist faction of Abbas’ Fatah party.

Calling Muslims such as Abbas a moderate, renders that adjective practically meaningless.

Almost invariably when a Muslim Jihadist attacks America or Americans, the voices most heard from the so called “vast majority” of Muslims characterized as moderate is the sounds of silence. If there is a condemnation, that often is quickly followed by some excuse tending to suggest that in spite of the unquestionably evil crimes of Islamists, they might have some justification for grievances bound up in some alleged sin committed by a Western nation or a concern raised that such Islamist terrorist attack not cause a wave of anti-Muslim fervor or Islamophobia or both.

On the word “islamophobia”, it should be wiped out of our lexicon and should not be tolerated from any mouth.

Phobias denote irrational fears. There is absolutely nothing irrational with fear, not of all Muslims of course, but of the Islamists who have committed and are committing the vast majority of terrorist attacks, not just against non-Muslims, but Muslims as well, all in the name of Islam.

There have been so many instances where seemingly friendly, tolerant, law abiding and peaceful Muslims in America, Canada, Britain and the EU suddenly reveal the double life they have been leading either when they cast off their sheep’s clothing as they commit some heinous terrorist act or their true Islamist natures are revealed when they are found to have been secretly supporting Muslim/Islamist hate filled terrorism and propaganda, financially or otherwise.

These closet Jihadists often live amongst a peaceful Muslim community, evincing all signs that they are like the rest of their peaceful community. When they then reveal their true natures in the blood of their victims, their fellow community members say they are as surprised as anyone.

That claimed surprise however might not always be the case. Should one take the word of anyone just on their say so on something as significant as claiming they had no forewarning whatsoever about a Muslim’s jihadist beliefs? People often reveal clues to their true identities and natures.

Non-Muslims however are not the only ones fearful and intimidated by Islamists. So too are many peaceful Muslims who fear lethal or harmful consequences to them should they blow an Islamist’s cover or even boldly and unequivocally speak out against Islamism.

There are a relatively few number of Muslims and non-Muslims who have unequivocally spoken out against Islamism. Those who have not yet been murdered or maimed by some revenge seeking hate filled Islamist, have to live in hiding, under 24 hour protection or both.

In light of these real fears, the troublesome questions for non-Muslims and even the majority of peaceful Muslims, is first, which Muslims can be trusted to be truly the peaceful, tolerant and law abiding Muslims they appear to be and what can and must non-Muslims and peaceful Muslims do to rid the world of the lethal scourge of Islamism?

It is no answer to the first question to say that out of an abundance of caution, non-Muslims should suspect every Muslim of being an actual or potential Islamist and be on guard accordingly.

Such kind of suspicion of all Muslims, will quickly descend into racism and the majority of truly innocent Muslims who are against Islamism or who themselves live peaceful and law abiding lives and have no Islamist views and do not give any support to Islamism, will suffer.

That is not right or acceptable in our Western civilization.

Besides, if all non-Muslims adopted such a racist attitude, Muslims who are against Islamists not only will not be willing to join non-Muslims in that effort, but many could well be driven into the arms of the Islamists.

The imperative is however that both non-Muslims and Muslims must find a way to deal with ridding the world of Islamists that in different ways is an existential threat to both.

How Western non-Muslims and indeed the peaceful law abiding majority of Western Muslims deal with this issue is, needless to say, complex. It seems obvious however that it is incumbent on both to begin to deal with this potentially harmful and lethal problem and work towards finding acceptable solutions, however imperfect those solutions might be.

A good place to start would be for our Western leaders to begin to speak truths based on evidence and not wishful thinking or thinking clouded and obscured by political correctness.

Citing statistics to suggest a majority of Muslims being on one side of the other, is utter nonsense. There has been no study yet done to give any reliable indication as to whether the Islamists constitute a majority or not. As regards which Muslims qualify for the description, Islamist one must include not only the heirarchy of the terrorist army from generals to foot soldiers, but must include also all those and there are a very great many, who support Islamists financially or otherwise in varying degrees.

Western leaders must no longer mouth bromides and platitudes, like Islam is a religion of peace, that Islam has been hi-jacked by a small handful of radicals or that the vast majority of the world’s Muslims are peaceful, hard working, law abiding and as tolerant of non-Muslims as non-Muslims have been tolerant of Muslims.

Over the last 40 years or so, we have come to know that Islamists number far more then just a relative few. Estimates are as high as 20% of the world’s 1.5 billion Muslim population or 300 million.

Supplementing those estimates are the numerous reports that not just anti-semitism, but anti-Westernism is rampant throughout the Middle East and many parts of the Muslim world.

Coupled with those reports are various reports that a great many Muslim clergy and many Muslim leaders have been preaching, teaching and promoting hatreds against non-Muslims, the beliefs that Muslims are superior to non-Muslims in all respects and that Muslims have a solemn duty to engage in Jihad to convert, kill or subjugate all non-Muslims so that Islam reigns supreme in the world.

Islamists openly base their hate filled beliefs for non-Muslims and their beliefs in the inferiority of non-Muslims, on the literal words of Islam’s foundational writings. They quote the literal passages from their Koran, Sira or Hadith to justify what to non-Muslims are completely evil and heinous thoughts and deeds.

That is more then just a little proof that Islam as a religion has within it, various tenets, edits and beliefs that inspire many of its adherents to be hate filled Islamist supremacists who see non-Muslims through their intractably hate filled eyes as inferior and only worthy of death, conversion or subjugation.

These Islamists inspired by Islam believe it is their primary purpose in life to wage war against the inferior non-Muslims until Islam dominates the world and that there is no greater honor in Islam then to be killed as a martyr in that cause which then opens the door to heaven for them to partake for all eternity of all the joyous wonders heaven has to offer, including having for their pleasure, the reputed 72 beautiful and eternally virginal virgins.

Such an Islamist view, understanding, belief in and practice of Islam apart from being antithetical to our Western Judeo-Christian culture and civilization, is a consummate racist creed, if not the worst of the racist creeds in the world.

Our leaders in all sectors of society had better begin speaking these truths and forsake the disingenuous all encompassing platitudes, such as Islam is a religion of peace. For many Muslims, Islam is just that and while it is important that non-Muslims say that, they along with peaceful Muslims must not hesitate to also say that for many other Muslims, Islam is a supremacist religion of hate and war against non-Muslims and as such, it must be eliminated.

It will take courage and political will for Western democratic leaders to not only speak honestly in this regard, but to also develop strategies and tactics to more vigorously find, deal with and eliminate Islamists both within and outside our Western nations as well as protect us all, non-Muslim and Muslim alike from Islamists.

As earlier stated, while the task of finding a way for non-Muslims and peaceful Muslims to get over their fears of Islamists and join together in helping to find and root out Islamists will be very difficult, it is nonetheless a task much worth pursuing. ... See all content Hide content
