My latest at PJ Media:
After 9/11, understandably, there was a great deal of international focus upon the jihad terror threat. Western governments quickly decided, without a shred of evidence, that what had happened on that terrible day was completely un-Islamic, and that jihad terrorism had its roots in alleged Western misconduct, not in Islamic texts and teachings. That has opened the door to a huge number of ills, most notably the “Islamophobia” myth that Muslims are victims of particular harassment and discrimination in the United States, and thus deserve special favors and consideration. But while the jihad threat was and is real, it is clear now that the far greater immediate threat to freedom was the American Left.
It’s all reminiscent of a scene in The Godfather, after a meeting of the Five Families, the major organized crime organizations in this country. The meeting came after Santino “Sonny” Corleone, the son of the biggest boss of them all, Don Vito Corleone, is gunned down in a war among the Families. Speaking of two of the crime bosses, Don Corleone says: “Tattaglia is a pimp. He never could have outfought Santino. But I didn’t know until this day that it was Barzini all along.”
So it is today: the threat we thought was coming, which is nonetheless still very much a real threat, is positively benign in the face of the much greater threat. And just like Tattaglia and Barzini, the two are partners.
There is more. Read the rest here.

I love that line. I ran both 1 and 2 before I went to law school at least 200 times each, and enjoyed them as much the last time as the first. For me, movie projection was one of the best jobs I ever had. I have the DVD’s and still watch them.

Don’t we have CIA or Think Tanks that study what Islam is? If I was some naive Democrat who decided to look into it and history and I clearly saw Qur’an is a Warlord Manual for conquest and complete control of its members to do the dirty work for them and their Empire (for Allah of course) and everyone here has looked into it and seen……why does not our Government realize it is a Supremacist danger same as naziwhite Supremacy? Would we let nazigroups have meeting halls and private schools to teach? I cannot understand except that maybe we decided to monetarily and with oil profit at our countries expense. NOT WORTH IT. So why don’t they admit what it actually is and how it operates like the mafia as well.

Interesting Frank.
I have seen Part I and Part II at least 10 times and each time I always learn something new…
Frank Anderson says
James, for most of 2 years before I went to law school I worked all day for the electric cooperative and then drove over 30 miles to the theatre where I worked about 5 pm to past midnight. That allowed me to save about a third of what I needed in cash to pay for law school. I was much younger then, over 40 years ago!. On weekends, the shift was more than 12 hours, because the show was in the order of 3 hours long.
gravenimage says
Very impressive, Frank.
I look at the hours I worked when I was in college and just have to shake my head–I could never do this now.
Frank Anderson says
GI, I had a dream that harmed me by never being properly questioned. It was an obsession that many have today causing law schools to admit and graduate about 3 times as many lawyers as there are jobs. I have written a number of comments on another site about the investment education represents and the goal of recovering it in addition to a profit by an increase in annual earnings when the education is put to work, and before it ceases to be useful.
I explain the investment, from my work during my third trip to college studying accounting, and particularly cost accounting, there are 3 parts to consider as invested input 1) What wages are lost by attending? In my case from 1977 to 1980 over 75000 dollars 2) What is the value of the work done to earn the highest possible grades and class rank at the best school that will accept you? 3) ALL money from every source needed from the time you start to the time you start making instead of spending money.
Just looking at law school, where 88 semester hours are required to graduate, that is about 1500 class hours, plus more than 6000 hours studying, writing and doing research, 7500 hours total. Even then, 40 to 50 dollars per hour puts that figure huge. Then, I spent over 60,000 dollars on tuition, and all other expenses before going to work after being off 3 years and 3 months. So I had well in excess of 250,000 dollars invested then. Where if I had stayed in my position before law school, I would have been earning over 25,000 per year, after law school I was paid 33,000.
Now the investment is more in the range of 500,000 to 750,000 because where tuition was 75 dollars per semester hour when I started, it is now about 2000 dollars at the same school today. Very few lawyers will see an annual increase from the salary they would earn without law school by 60 to 75 thousand per year.
And the real disappointment was that my work as a lawyer lasted 3 years 1 month and 13 days before I was fired. It took 10 years and the total loss of everything to restart. About 1 person in 3 who graduate from law school will actually practice law, and most of them will leave the practice in 10 years or less.
I was 25 when I was working those 2 jobs and had the good fortune of enjoying them, unlike many things I have had to do since.

Thank you, Frank. And yes–it is a problem in many fields that more students are admitted than there are jobs.
James Lincoln says
Frank Anderson,
From a non-attorney who knows and has talked with a fair number of attorneys:
The return on investment “ROI” for law school today is not encouraging. For your money, which they are very willing to take, the typical law school will give you a decent education with no promises regarding future employment opportunities.
There is also the “opportunity cost” of missed investment opportunities with the money used to bankroll the legal education.
That being said, a *minority* of today’s law school graduates can still do pretty well if they are lucky, get in the right firm, have specialized education / training in a certain niche of law, make partner, etc.
That being said, it can still take years to even break even.
I agree, it’s a big gamble in today’s world – and medical students are facing some of the same problems unless they are on a military or public health scholarship…
Frank Anderson says
James, the largest part of any educational investment, which is never discussed, and always paid by the student are the Lost Wages-Opportunity Cost AND the value of the student’s work during the program. No matter who else pays the cash, the student pays those components. According to cost accounting principles, all 3 components should be included when evaluating the profit or loss on the investment. There is no free lunch.
Frank Anderson says
Additional: I have a friend and client who borrowed his way through college and law school with NO other professional alternative, graduating in the top third of his class at a nationally accredited and highly ranked law school. It took him 4 years and 3 tries to pass 1 bar exam. His first year of practice netted 600 dollars, 1200 his second and 600 his third. 14 years spent to find out the practice of law was a disaster. His 140,000 dollars in student loans was ruled non-dischargeable when I handled his bankruptcy and dischargeability complaint.
My ex-partner left a 250,000 dollar a year CPA practice in the middle 1980’s to attend law school on a total ride scholarship because of a near perfect LSAT score. He graduated about #13 in his class of 200. Since firms were looking to hire junior associates instead of senior partners right out of law school, he never found regular employment and practices more for a hobby than his expected pay level.
When only 1 in 3 who graduate will ever practice law, and most of those who practice last 10 years or less, what does that make law school and people like me who obsess their way into the practice without the thoughtful analysis which should be applied?

The more I visit your website and read your articles and the comments, the more I realize that you are a strange individuals, I hope that few and fewer will trust in you and your likes are few in our human species, you can be destructive, and simple minded people can be received by your filthy ideology.
In this article, you are reacting as if what you believe is the right, and all are wrong , so, more than 50% of the Americans are stupid because they voted for Mr Biden, bu5 you and your likes claimed voting fraud, despite the supreme court kicking you and your ilk in the butt and ordering you to try and think.
You worship Mr trump , despite having been impeached twice by the Congress and Senate, for the first time in American history.
I have no problem with trump, I like many of his acts, and because perfection does not exist in our realm, I disliked some of his reactions or actions, we all commit mistakes, honesty is the best path.
You claim ad if 9/11 was an Islamic terrorist act, despite the very well known fact that Islam, Muslims and their Quran prohibits murder of innocents, but you bring and talk about some quraanic verses that encourages killings, while you totally ignore the explanations of when and if these verses are valid all the time, as if almost 2 billion Muslims are criminals, or are stupid people, on top of that, you ignore, intentionally or unintentionally the case law (law case) in all constipation … … pardon my style of writing, English is my 4rth language, plus I’m not good at literature even at my language of birth … try to be a decent human being, contribute to the well being of the prices, stop your attempts at creating violence and murder, one day, you will exit this existence, and you will meet the creator, who is what we call justice and fairness themselves … at this stage of your living, you are governed by the satanic fields, hate and anger.

gregbeetham says
You are ignoring abrogation where it concerns the Koran, perhaps conveniently? You also don’t address the exclusive Islamic problem of the persecution and murder of Jews and Christians in Islamic countries and the huge number of Islamic terrorist groups that pop up wherever there are more than a few Muslims.
Terrorist groups like ISIS, Bokoharam, Al-Qaeda, Hamas, Hezbollah, Al-Nusra, Taliban, Al-Shabaab etc. are murderous groups that originate only due to Islam, there are no equivalent groups that originate from any other ‘religion’. Not that Islam is a religion, it’s more like a cult obsessed with death (the death of anyone who is not a Muslim).
When it comes to ‘hate’ and the killing of disbelievers Muslims are the world champions hands down.
Sam says
Oh my god, I re read my comment, it’s horrible, too many mistakes in English grammar and spellings, please forgive me?, hard to type on a phone.

………………………………
Just ludicrous. Firstly, “Sam” does not explain why Muslims celebrated the atrocity of 9/11 by handing out sweets and dancing in the streets and lauded the Jihadists as the “magnificent 19” and regarded them as “martyrs” if they supposedly hate violent Jihad.
Then, he ignores the fact that Muslims only consider other pious Muslims to be innocent–Infidels are *always* fair game for Jihad.
Then, all the schools of Islam regard the Qur’an as good for all time–the claim that its diktats were only for use at one point in history is not at all borne out.
Further, of course, is the fact that there have been almost 40,000 Jihad terror attacks just since 9/11–are *all* of these done by Infidels wanting to make Islam look bad as “Sam” here implies? Or is it that there are just a lot of pious Muslims who misundersant their own faith? In which case, why isn’t “Sam” preaching to them they have gotten their peacuful faith so very, very wrong, rather than pestering the good Infidels here at Jihad Watch?

No one here is claiming that all Muslims are Jihad terrorists–but they do all adhere to a creed that teaches Jihad terror, and *very few* of them are actively opposing these horrors. Then, a majority of Muslims, even in the West, support the imposition of violent and oppressive Shari’ah law. This is, in fact, what Jihad is intended for–to force Infidels to submit to Islam.
And what does case law have to do with constipation? This is just impenetrable.

………………………………
“Sam’s” problems with English are a minor point–really, the problem is that so much of his apologia for savagery is perfectly clear.
And how does opposing violence and murder contribute to violence and murder? This is what is known as projection. In fact, opposing this savagery is not satanic–it is in fact the provenance of all decent human beings.

Agree, jo. The Marxists see everything as a liberation struggle, But under Stalin, Soviet scholars classified Islam as a bourgeois, capitalist form of fascism.
They realized that Islam is not communistic, and even an enemy to communism.

Firstly, if “Shari’ah finance” was *really* better than anything in the world, then the Muslim world would be thriving–but except in places with either unearned oil wealth or hard-working Infidel minorities that most parts of the Muslim world are economic basket cases.
Then, there is the fact that interest *does* exist in the Muslim world–it is just hidden in fees and other incidentals. This makes sense, since no one can afford to lend money long term without reasonable interest.
We purchased our home with an interest-bearing loan, which we re-financed twice, once when we had proven we had a good track-record of paying our mortgage, and once when interest rates came down. This loan was neither unfair to the borrower or the lender.
And what else do we know about Shari’ah law? It ranges from systematic persecution of women and non-Muslim religious minorities to child “marriage”, amputations for petty theft, and stoning of rape victims. Noting “magnificent” there.
And the bit about dress codes being Jewish makes no sense at all–it was not Jews who wrote the Hadith, nor does Israel have dress codes, either for Jewish women or anyone else.
And it is not Jews who are imprisoning and murdering women and girls for not wearing Hijab–it is Muslims.

Where have Muslims said that they have regretted celebrating 9/11? Citations, please.
Then, as horrifying as 9/11 was, it is *hardly* an isolated incident–just among the worst of them. As I noted, there have been over 38,000 Jihad terror attacks just since 9/11, all over the world.
Then, we’ve seen this before–the claim that Muslims *just have to* rape and murder Infidels in Jihad terror attacks because of Iraq and Syria (or Afghanistan). But these were in *response* to Jihad terror. The claim that Jihad terror is caused by defense against Jihad terror simply makes no sense.
Then, it completely ignores the fact that Islam itself teaches Jihad terror, and pious Muslims have been waging Jihad terror for 1400 years now.
Then, what about the specifics? “Sam’s” claim that Muslims have the right to rape and murder Infidels because some Infidels took the Taliban and Islamic State out of power is simply grotesque. Is he saying that the Taliban and Islamic State–with their persecution and murder of non-Muslims, enslavement, and stoning of women, is mainstream Islam? Isn’t this itself damning?

Pious Muslims do not consider Infidels to be innocent. That verse from Qur’an 5:32 chides *Jews* for supposedly not living up to their standards–it does not address Muslims at all.
Jihad dates back 1400 years–the claim that it is a recent phenomenon and the fault of the ‘filthy Infidels’ is quite false. And where has the US stolen Muslims’ wealth? Of course, “Sam” has no examples at all.
Then, the idea that Muslims have tne right to butcher Americans because tiny Israel is allowed to survive is just sickening, but sacrecely surprising.
Finally, Jihad is a core part of Islam–the “Prophet” himself waged violent Jihad, and it is preached througout the Qur’an.
And Jihad is confirmed by Al Azhar and influential Imams and Mullahs–it is orthodox Islam.

gravenimage says
“Sam” may not be a Muslim–unlikely, but possible–but he certainly spouts apologia for the horrors of Islam. So the idea that we should like him if he just enables a savage ideology while (supposedly) not adhering to it himself makes no sense.
And if “Sam” really speaks eight languages, this is impressive–I only read and speak three, and am not fully fluent in German or French. But it really matters what you do with language, not the mere matter of having acquired it. If you use language to flog evil, you cannot expect good people to applaud.
Then, what is it that “Sam” intends to have published? Unsurprisingly, he does not say. And few writers are paired with ghost writers by publishers unless they are widely considered to have something special to say–as, for instance, high-profile politicians or great atheletes.
Most other people who make use of ghost writers pay through the nose for their services, and output the results through vanity publishers–hardly something to brag about.
Sam says
First, any act of terror is unaccepted, regardless who commit it, Muslim or Christian, it’s an ugly barbaric act.
Killing an innocent should carry the death penalty, no matter who does it, Muslim or non Muslim, this is my stance on murder period.
I can see that you are good at languages, this is nice, try and correct your moral values, Muslims need your help, they do not need your hate, it’s killing them … and your creator will reward or punish you, be careful.
My book will be a philosophical, metaphysical spiritual book, and I badly need someone to help me in the writing process, I posses no writing talent, as simple as this.
gravenimage says
“Sam” likely realizes that pious Muslims do not consider any unbelievers to be innocent, and deem them all fair game for Jihad terror.
Then, the idea that opposing the horrors of Jihad and Shari’ah–the latter of which “Sam” openly lauds–is indicative of poor moral values is simply grotesque.
And how is my pointing out that Islam is violent “killing [Muslims]”? This is known as projection. “Sam” has now said several times that we will be punished–presumably by the vicious “Allah”–for opposing the bloody horrors of Islam. *Ugh*.
And the idea that someone who supports this bloody barbarism is going to present his views on what is philosophical and spiritual for public edification is really perverse. No wonder he is incapable or writing it.

Well thank you Sam I am so glad I made you laugh. I have to say I’m very impressed with your credentials, a scientist, and an engineer, very impressive, and on top of that your negotiating with some publishers. Wow you really are something and it doesn’t stop there, you also speak 8 languages, and your son also speaks 8. I can honestly say I have never known anyone so clever, both you and your son must be geniuses.
I could never compete with you, as I’m just an ordinary astronaut, and I only speak 3 languages, you make me feel quite inferior.
I will try my best to be a nice human being, and will try to educate myself, obviously I could never attain such a high standard as yourself but I’ll do my best.
By the way Sam, I have never felt hatred for a person in my life, and I wouldn’t hate you even if you were a muslim, but I don’t like you. I don’t like you Sam, for the simple reason you have chosen to take the side of evil, and thats the only reason.

“Sam’s” problems with English are a minor point–really, the problem is that so much of his apologia for savagery is perfectly clear.
And how does opposing violence and murder contruibute to violence and murder? This is what is known as projection. In fact, opposing this savagery is not satanic–it is in fact the provenance of all decent human beings.
——————————————————————–
At your website, every crime that was committed by a person who happen to be a Muslim by name, his/her crime is attributed to Islam as an ideology, which is nasty and hateful at, very very shameful, don’t you have a moral compass? no decency what so ever?, as if referring a rape or murder committed by an American of Christian faith is attributed to Christianity, is this right? I watched you several times on YouTube, and you look and feel too stupid, how did you arrive to this low point of humanity?
Personally, I do not agree with the entire Islam, but I love parts of it, I love Christianity in most of it’s teachings, I despise Judaism as a criminal deceitful dirty ideology, I love Buddhism and I do not agree with any murder, I do not kill even a spider that comes into my house … give me a break , try to become a responsible human being with decency and compassion, money is not everything.

…………………………….
“Sam” does not note that in most of these Jihad terror attacks that the Jihadists themselves atrribute their violence to Islam–and that Islam teaches violence.
The idea that opposing these horrors mean you lack a moral compass is not just immoral–it is the very inversion of morality.
Again, “Sam” has never shown where Christianity teaches violence, or where violent people are acting in its name. Citations, please. (Not that I will be holding my breath, of course).

Well, this is *very* strange.
“gravenimage” is a pseudonym–I do not use my given name here, largely because Muslims have murdered those who dare to criticize Islam–especially those who do so through Muhammed cartoons.
So far as I know, the only “Gravenimage” that has appeared on YouTube is a musical group, which I have no association with.
To my knowledge, I have never once appeared on YouTube. Who does “Sam” think I am?

What aspects of Islam does “Sam” love? So far, he has only mentioned Shari’ah finance, which just hides interest.
Anything else? How about child “marriage”? FGM? Wife beating? Slavery and sex slavery? Rape? The mass slaughter of Infidels who do not submit to Islam?
Again, “Sam’s” implication that if you oppose these horrors that this means you are not a responsible human being is simply grotesque,
Sam says
Mainly the financial system, but also the penal code and the crime law.
Saudi Arabia which i despise is one of the safest countries on this planet.
If you read the real Islamic Sharia rules, laws and regulations, you will respect a lot of them, that’s if you manage to get a real and not a false fake source as this website gets.
FGM is not an Islamic rule, it’s mostly African tradition that was practiced before Islam, perhaps due to the excessive heat, and and early reaching puberty , so this practice has been in existence 1000s of years ago, in the tropical areas in Asia and Africa, is it a good practice, NO, not at all, it’s barbaric and savage, is it A Muslim practice, well, the Salafists claim that there is a Hadith of Mohammed encouraging this ugly practice, other well educated Muslims say that there is no Mohamed Hadith regarding this, personally, I have no clue if there is or there is none.

………………………….
The penal code and crime law in Islam include imprisoning women for resisting forced marriages or trying to flee them, caning and flogging victims for drinking alcohol, imprisonment and judicial murder for “blasphemy”, and stoning women to death, including rape victims. *Ugh*.
More:

………………………….
Saudi Arabia has executed people for falling in love and for practicing “witchcraft”. *This* is what “Sam” considers “safe”.
Meanwhile, it allows child marriage, wife beating, and the systematic abuse of foreign workers.
How “safe” is life for any of these victims?

What would I respect? Even the less savage aspects of Shari’ah law involve the systematic oppression of women, children, gays, minorities, and any freethinkers. Just hideous. “Sam’s” problem is not that those at Jihad Watch are ignorant of Shari’ah, but that so many of us are well versed in these horrors.

FGM may pre-date Islam, but so does beheading and stoning women to death. But Islam has sacralized all of these horrors.
The claim that FGM is not Islamic is *quite* false–it is accepted as Islamic by Islamic clerics:
“Muslim cleric urges female genital mutilation”
https://www.jihadwatch.org/2016/05/muslim-cleric-urges-female-genital-mutilation
“Somaliland: Muslim clerics issue fatwa making female genital mutilation mandatory”
https://www.jihadwatch.org/2018/02/somaliland-muslim-clerics-issue-fatwa-making-female-genital-mutilation-mandatory
There are many more.
In fact, all of the orthodox schools of Islamic jurisprudence consideer FGM either recommened or mandatory.

If “Sam” were actually against these things, then why would he spend so much time here lauding the creed that sacralizes these atrocities?
As for the claim that I am lying, note that “Sam” has never been able to point to anything I have said that is untrue. Again, citations.
And I have never made a cent from my opposition to the horrors of Jihad and Shari’ah, despite “Sam’s” bizarre claims that he is watching me on YouTube.

I wonder how long it will be before the treasonous creatures on the left get their hand bitten off by the poisonous Islamic reptiles they think are their friends.
Wellington says
So many times the enemy within is far more destructive than the enemy without. Robert Spencer has it correct, i.e., Leftism is a greater threat to the West than Islam.
Just imagine if virtually all the West looked upon Islam as a menace to freedom and equality under the law—which it surely is. In such a scenario the Islamic world wouldn’t have a chance. Indeed, such a world, if isolated and treated as a hostile parasite, would wither on the vine. Yet, tragically, the opposite is occurring. Islam is being given renewed life precisely because much of the West is presently in full stupid mode. And who is leading this stupidity in the West? Why the Left of course.
Saleem Smith says
Yes. The Left naively believes that they can make peace with the proponents of Islamic theology @ law. Unfortunately devout Muslim’s tend to stringently obey all of the hateful and intolerant commands contained within of the supposedly perfect Qur’an and Mohammed”s Sunnah as they are told to do so.
Speaking as an ex-Muslm living with Islam’s formal and informal death penalty for apostasy, I see the followers of Mohammedanism similar to the way I see Scorpion’s and Hyena’s in real life.
Qur’an 4:59: O you who believe! Obey Allah, and obey the Messenger, and those charged with authority among you. If you differ in anything among yourselves, refer it to Allah and His Messenger, if you do believe in Allah and the Last Day: That is best, and most suitable for final determination.
Qur’an 33:36: It is not for a believer, man or woman, when Allah and His Messenger have decreed a matter, that they should have any option in their decision. And whoever disobeys Allah and His Messenger, he has indeed strayed in a plain error.
Qur;an 33:21: There has certainly been for you in the Messenger of Allah an excellent pattern for anyone whose hope is in Allah and the Last Day and [who] remembers Allah often.
Hadith: Sahih Bukhari Volume 1, Book 8, Number 387:
Narrated Anas bin Malik:
Allah’s Apostle said, “I have been ordered to fight the people till they say: ‘None has the right to be worshipped but Allah.’ And if they say so, pray like our prayers, face our Qibla and slaughter as we slaughter, then their blood and property will be sacred to us and we will not interfere with them except legally and their reckoning will be with Allah.” Narrated Maimun ibn Siyah that he asked Anas bin Malik, “O Abu Hamza! What makes the life and property of a person sacred?” He replied, “Whoever says, ‘None has the right to be worshipped but Allah’, faces our Qibla during the prayers, prays like us and eats our slaughtered animal, then he is a Muslim, and has got the same rights and obligations as other Muslims have.”
Here is a recent statement from a group of Bangladeshi apostates living in the UK, explaining the reasons why they have abandoned Islam:
One who claims to be a messenger of God is expected to live a saintly life. He must not be given to lust, he must not be a sexual pervert, and he must not be a rapist, a highway robber, a war criminal, a mass murderer or an assassin. One who claims to be a messenger of God must have a superior character. He must stand above the vices of the people of his time. Yet Muhammad’s life is that of a gangster godfather. He raided merchant caravans, looted innocent people, massacred entire male populations and enslaved the women and children. He raped the women captured in war after killing their husbands and told his followers that it is okay to have sex with their captives (Qur’an 33:50). He assassinated those who criticized him and executed them when he came to power and became de facto despot of Arabia. Muhammad was bereft of human compassion. He was an obsessed man with his dreams of grandiosity and could not forgive those who stood in his way…
The statement continues:
Muhammad was a narcissist, like Hitler, Saddam or Stalin. He was astute and knew how to manipulate people, but his emotional intelligence was less evolved than that of a 6-year-old child. He simply could not feel the pain of others. He brutally massacred thousands of innocent people and pillaged their wealth. His ambitions were big and as a narcissist he honestly believed he is entitled to do as he pleased and commit all sorts of crimes and his evil deeds are justified.”
James Lincoln says
Wellington,
You are correct, Leftism is currently the greater *current* threat due to the fact that they actually *encourage* muslim immigration.
If not stopped, and muslims become a significant percentage of the population, the muslims will then push the Leftists aside.
Western Europe has a head start on the United States, but with Leftist leaders, it doesn’t take long to change the demographics…
Frank Anderson says
When so much effort is being made to kowtow to muslim sensitivities, how many or how few does it take to become significant in destroying a non-muslim society? The old story about the camel getting his nose in the tent during a sandstorm ought to be considered. There are times when hospitality is totally misplaced. Self destruction is allowed; but destruction of others as a direct consequence of insanity is not. We are being sold out by traitors and collaborators. We are not committing suicide: We are being murdered. Did the Jews in Nazi Germany commit suicide by being Jews?
Clifford Fodor says
There’s too many variables here.
* We should mentioned that the ACLU got the Supreme Court to ban Bible reading and prayer back in 1962. We are not a Christian nation. Yet, the Bible and Christianity is our greatest weapon against Islam.
* Liberals aren’t the ones who declared Islam to be a “religion of peace.” It was conservative Republican President Bush who said that. Big Oil companies want cheap Arab oil. And Pres. Bush was for Big Oil.
* You also have Muslims taking revenge on those who would expose the truth about Islam. Remember Daniel Pearl? Newspapers and the rest of the MSM are too cowardly to tell the truth about Islam.

If you think it’s bad I the USA, if you want to see how bad it’s going to get, go to Europe, where many of the larger cities are now Islamic hellholes.
gravenimage says
Sadly true.
OLD GUY says
Black Gold dictated the action of our government to protect the big oil investments in the Middle East. They had to paint a picture of islam as love and peace to the American and free world population to justify doing business with the enemy of freedom. After all islam is a dictatorship that robs mankind of freedom where ever it gains control.
gravenimage says
We are actually bigger oild producers than is the Muslim world at this point. In fact, of the five top oil producers, only one is still Islamic.

I used to wonder how anything as primitive and superstitious as Islam would be able to take over the civilized world once again. Now I know. Ride on the back of an even bigger, if younger, agent of tyranny.
