Considering the fact that Islam has been at war with the non-Islamic world for about 1400 years, it’s fair to assume that terrorism will continue, worldwide. Only in the modern age has it had the tools to gain this much momentum, or it’d have happened much sooner.

Anyone who has READ the Quran and Hadith knows that Islam has a “Prime Directive”: to take over the entire world and make everyone still alive into a Muslim. There are NO means which are unacceptable to Allah in achieving this goal, and every Muslim is required to labor at it all his life.

Our dumbed-down populations in the free world don’t bother doing any homework on their own, and the Muslim leaders know precisely how to capitalize on that. We keep falling for their propaganda, even tho, by now, much of their methods are utterly transparent.

They made the Pope apologize for telling the truth about forced conversions. The Quran originally prohibited it, but after Muhammad himself converted his first Muslim by force (in the Hadith), the prohibition has been moot ever since. They demonstrated, even killing people, demanding that the truth told be retracted. And they got it.

If YOU have not, yourself, read the Quran and Hadith, cover to cover, you don’t know diddly about Islam. “Islam: That great global religion of peace and tolerance” is anything BUT. But isn’t that what you were taught? Political correctness still says it’s a tolerant and peaceful faith, despite the daily proof to the contrary.

AND…if you’d read these two holy Islamic books, you’d already know that there IS no such thing as a Moderate Muslim. Islam permits no moderation whatever; you’re either a Muslim or a moderate non-Muslim. Nor is there such a thing as an Islamic “extremist.” None are necessary; Islam itself is ALREADY extreme.

Do your homework.

His statements were interesting in that while he was more moderated than what we have been hearing out of Whitehall, he did not actually lower the threat, merely said that “they have gone underground” in addition to the points you make. It is also probably worth noting that there may have been an element of chest thumping in this as well – as the reason for this increased secrecy by networks is his agencies abilities.

Are we safer: I think it remains almost impossible to say. While it is true that organized AQ directed plots in the UK (and US for that matter) have gone down – though Evans seems to say they may have just gone deeper underground – in the UK we have had two plots with potentially lethal repercussions seemingly pop out of nowhere. Bilal Abdullah and Kafeel Ahmed and then separately Nicky Reilly. All of which while nonlethal thanks to technical incompetence, were definitely very close calls that did not seem to be on the security services radars.

At the same time, it would seem as though a big coordinated attack is not likely to be on the horizon, as the services would seem to have a pretty good grip on these networks. What is more worrying I suppose is that the radical narrative seems to have spread wider than this – so more of these discrete things may pop up.

And btw, I agree with nothing that HollyB says.

While I enjoy watching the Inaugaration of President Obama, I am concerned about the constant showing of an aerial view of Washington DC to the world. Is that really a smart and secure idea? Isn’t that where the President of the United States lives?

I think that the President should turn over the Detaines to the Iraque Government, since they Committed their Crimes to the Iraque People. and let Deal with them they more money than we do.

Holly B. is right on the mark. Unless you’ve read the Qur’an and Hadith from cover to cover and have done your homework on its teachings and historical significance up to this point in history, you don’t know anything in regards to what your fed on the local media regarding Islam. Also, the historical fact is, the Qur’an, Islam’s holy book, does not provide any coherent biographical narrative on its prophet Muhammad, its sole prophetic person of which all Islam’s belief is hinged on. Before Muhammad, Islam was nothing, after Muhammad, they flourished. But, NO Historical record can be verified in regards to Muhammad’s birth and childhood, it is considered for the most part myth and/or legendary tales. Lastly, Muhammad himself beheaded over 600 non believers at the end of his life at the peak of his movement. His later teachings of conversion by force supercede all other peaceful teaching.

It doesn’t matter to me if people disagree with what I’ve said about Islam. What really DOES matter is whether they have done their OWN full research on this religion. Virtually nobody bothers. They form their opinions based on what governments and media say. All of it second hand. And much of it blatantly geared to protecting the oil interests, through political correctness. “Most Muslims are peaceful,” they’ll say. Really? Evidence, please. They may seem peaceful – for now. If they are genuine Muslims, though, each of them is waiting for the call to go jihading. The evidence of THAT is right there, in their OWN holy books. For all to see. Those who dare, that is.

In the REAL Islam, every Muslim MUST fight in jihad, because he/she will answer to Allah on Judgment Day to explain why they didn’t. What religion makes these kinds of demands on its believers? Not only MUST they jihad; they MUST hope to die in the process.

The more you learn about Islam, the more you realize how extremely anti-civilization, anti-nature and even anti-LIFE it is. It cares nothing about personal safety, a comfortable life, or a growing economy. Life is for one purpose – to jihad one’s way into salvation. It has NO other purpose, and it certainly isn’t a thing people are supposed to want to ENJOY. So, when Holland falls to Islam, it will only take a few years for this very beautiful, efficient and productive nation to begin resembling Zimbabwe.

I began studying Islam in ‘94, because I’d always thought Islam was a peaceful, tolerant faith, yet day after day, I was seeing proof that it is NOT. I WANTED to believe it was all being done by small splinter groups of extremists. I NEEDED to believe it, because the alternatives were utterly terrifying. So I began researching Islam with the goal of trying to verify what I’d always believed about its peaceful nature.

I am a realist, and a Scandanavian-style Freethinker. The one option that is NOT available to me is denial of reality. It is a harsh self-discipline that often requires brutal objectivity.

My researches were looking for every POSSIBLE merit in Islam. Instead, it stood my hair on end.

Those who disagree with my posting are the same people who would have praised me for my original opinion of Islam. My WRONG opinion about Islam.

I learned that Muhammad converted by the sword, instantly invalidating the early phrase in the Quran that “there shall be no compulsion in religion.” That one died on the spot. But Muslims still quote it to us as “proof” that Islam is peaceful and tolerant – even though they all KNOW It applies to no Muslim any longer. Not since their own Prophet converted his first Muslim – by the sword.

Disagree with me till you’re blue. But if you haven’t done your OWN homework on the subject, the bigotry is on YOUR part, not mine.

Reality is what rules events. Not warm-fuzzy illusions about a nicer reaity that ISN’T. A Freethinker in the venerable Scandanavian tradition, must impose a severe self-discipline upon himself to learn what reality truly IS. And to accept that reality, no matter how ugly or terrifying.

What my studies showed me (and ALL of it came from Islamic sources) was that Islam is a profoundly malevolent, bloodthirsty and predatory religion, bent on total global domination – by ANY means whatever. Anyone who reads the Quran and Hadith, cover to cover, will learn this beyond any possible doubt.

Though every day we can see that it is NOT small splinter groups of extremists who are performing the vast bulk of today’s global violence, and taking over whole countries, people persist in believing it. Such things can only be done with the full approval, and participation, of the majority of the world’s Muslims. And it was no “small splinter groups” who were doing nipups on 9/11. The entire Muslim world was in a delirium of bliss.

While it’s still available, go to this CNN page:

When you get there, look for the long list of quotes from Islamic sources, submitted by a man named Jorge. It isn’t complete by any means, but is lengthy and tells this unspeakable truth about Islam. Jorge did not compose those quotes. They’re entirely from Islamic sources. Islam seems to be the only predatory religion which can fully reveal its predatory nature and make other people deny that it is so.

Islam NEEDS no extremists. It already IS extreme. Read its own two holy books, and you’ll know what you now deny. If you have the guts to face the truth.

We are simply too afraid to admit what we already know is true. And if someone like me boogies into view and tells them they’re in denial, they get on their ears about it. Naturally, they would. The last thing they want is to fully accept reality. It is simply too terrible, too terrifying, for people to encompass. So they retreat into denial, and gnash their teeth at people like me, who try to wake them up to reality. They are hoping they can “will” this reality out of existence. When what they are really doing is giving it time and world enough to take us all over.

Islam will win. We’ll acknowledge, readily enough, that people like me were telling them the truth – once it’s too late to do anything about it.

The whole purpose of Mr. Geert Wilders’ campaign to teach us the realities of Islam, is to help us come out of this denial – before it is too late to stop it. It may already be too late. Muslims have almost totally intimidated the Europeans by their sheer numbers and their eagerness to terrorize the population into submitting to them out of fear. Much of Europe has already been terrorized and intmidated into letting itself be Islamized.

Think, for just one minute. WHY on EARTH would ANY Muslim desire to live in the free world? EVERYTHING there is blasphemy to them. Living there is an ordeal for them. Yet they came to Europe – in droves. They’ve almost established themselves as a majority of VOTERS in some countries. Do you have to be spoon-fed what that will MEAN? For democracy? For the LIVES of the people who do NOT want to become Muslims? Give me one reason why these Muslims come to the free world in such humungous numbers. Seeking liberty? Give me strength. Islam spits on personal liberty. Are they having an orgy of collective masochism? Does anybody still remember Glasgow? Islamic doctors, highly respected for MANY years, suddenly turned into violent jihadis. Education is no bar to this malevolent faith. It only takes a desire for absolutism, for violence, for hate, and a deep inner sadism. Education cannot filter those things out of people who want them.

Islam is a “permission-giver.” That which is unspeakable becomes righteous, if it serves Islam. Even genocide. It gives people permission to ACT on their own worst human traits. Many people love that. Ever wonder why the Islamic States have not condemned Sudan and gone in to make a “regime change”? Because they think it is unnecessary. The genocide serves Islam. It is therefore clean and good. How can you call yourself civilized and NOT be outraged that all of Islam supports Sudan’s genocidal regime?

Terrorism, it seems, WORKS. Terrorism, thy name is Islam. Other terror groups are few, and are imitating Islam, but none are as vile, as profoundly predatory, as Islam.

Time is running out for most of the free world. Mr. Wilders sees it, while most other Europeans have their heads in the sand. He’s trying to wake them up. He can’t save them from Islam, alone. Holland is already as good as gone – some reports from people who live there confirm this – and they’re gut-deep scared, too. The rest prefer denial.

Mr. Wilders isn’t trying to promote hate, bigotry or intolerance – and certainly not racism. It is Arabs who are the most profoundlly malevolent racists on the planet. Have we forgotten that it was THEY who originated the slave trade centuries ago? And still practice it?

Mr. Wilders knows – only too well – that he’s a walking dead man. They WILL get him one day. Yet he is vilified and castigated, ridiculed and his courageous effort to help the rest of us out of denial is called a “circus.” This Paula Newton who wrote the article in question, is no journalist; she is a knowing promoter of Islam. Her article was blatantly prejudicial and anti-democratic. She should be fired. I’ve never seen a more bigoted and prejudicial writing from any western journalist. She has violated the most basic ethics of journalistic objectivity.

Yet SHE is CNN’s International Security Correspondent? Yegods.

Being tolerant is a good thing. But there is such a thing as taking it too far, like supporting people who would gladly slit your throat, simply because you EXIST. And are not a Muslim.

I can tell you, from personal experience, that multiculturalism can work. It requires enormous tolerance and patience, though – plus a genuine belief that all people are essentially more alike than different – which they are. EXCEPT for Islam. Multiculturalism is wasted on them. They despise the very concept of it. To them, all other cultures but the Islamic should be destroyed – MUST be destroyed. No other culture, and no other faith, holds these “values.”

At least have the decency to do your homework on Islam before you disagree with me. You have no standing to disagree by using ignorance pitted against informed knowledge. I can easily blow off such things, because I know what is really going through their minds. They’re too scared to back out of their denial.

But know this: Cowardice is everyone’s right. And so are the consequences of indulging in it.
