“You probably didn’t even look at the holy book of Islam. You didn’t even try!”
Once again the insults are the same. Arrogant, presumptuous and crude.

My Koran has a total of 434 pages of which 288 contains some form of violence, invariably directed at the infidel or the apostate. I will not list here all of the supporting Islamist literature and related reading material I have accumulated. However, as I mentioned earlier, most importantly, I have read our enemy’s own words, and they leave us in no doubt whatsoever of their intentions.
No matter how enthusiastically you attack me you cannot change the basic horrors of Islam and the hegemonic goals of the Islamists.

Actions speak louder than words.

Dear Roger,
Do you have any Muslim friends? Have you ever tried to talk to a Muslim? You are making generalizations about 2 billion people, and this is quite brave, and stupid. This is like saying, all Germans hate Jewish people. They DONT. You are just talking over your head, you don’t have any idea how those people feel. What would they want with your Judeo/Christian west? You probably didn’t even look at the holy book of Islam. You didn’t even try! Yet you have the nerve to talk about this subject like you are talking about a sport.

“You people are such pawns. Wake the [edited] up.”

I admire your novel use of the English language Jeremiah. Did it take you a long time to create that sentence or was that a quotation?

I actually lived in Amish country for a while and I can assure you that they have no intentions of destroying Judeo/Christian society and subjugating the Western World to their particular belief system. The mere fact that you brought up this ludicrous analogy to support your delusional point is evidence of your ignorance, might I say, of your arrogant and self-satisfied ignorance?

As for sharing Prof. Huntingtons’s views on the battle of cultures — Yes, I have read them and Yes, I do agree with him. Our enemies have taken great pains to describe the battle in exactly these terms: Their civilization against our civilization, Islam against the Judeo/Christian West. Perhaps if you had taken the time to study some of their pronouncements you, too, would have a better understanding of what we are up against.

As for that putting me in the company of others, I suppose one could argue that by my accepting the laws of gravity that somehow puts me in the company of Rasputin.

Your Hitler remark is too repulsive to respond to.

And as for your final dramatic and self-serving admonishment for us to “Wake the F. up”, I believe this is your rather crude attempt at condescension — suggesting, of course, that you, Jeremiah, are awake to what’s going on in the world while us “pawns” are asleep. Somehow I tend to doubt this, Jeremiah. Somehow I don’t think that you are all that aware.

There is, I suspect, a massive and rather nasty ego at work here that has little or nothing to do with this discussion and everything to do with self-promotion.

Good night, sweet Jeremiah. I will respond to you no more.

Besides being symbolic & peripheral, Roger, attacking the hijab, because it is a form of harassment, plays directly into their victim card strategy.

Thank you Jay.
And Ben — I disagree. Fighting back against Muslim headscarves is the first step in fighting back against Islam. We have to start somewhere, and this potent symbol of our enemy is a good place to begin. There is nothing I would like better than to purge Islam from the West entirely, but unless there’s a drastic change in our political will this just isn’t going to happen anytime soon. But we can keep the enemy from making anymore headway into our civilization, and then slowly roll it back. First, outlaw headscarves, eventually outlaw Islam.

Are we too innocent and naive to recognize Evil when it shows its ugly presence so plainly at our door?

Sadly, yes.

If you dye a skunk’s white stripes, it will be difficult to recognize at a safe distance, subjecting innocent bystanders to unnecessary risk of being coated with an indelible stench.

If you amputate a rattle snake’s rattles, you8 make it difficult to recognize, subjecting innocent bystanders to the risk of a painful and potentially lethal bite.

Likewise, a Muslim’s hijab or turban is a warning sign, while part of a uniform, it serves to alert us to the presence of an enemy.

You don’t make skunks or rattlesnakes safe to be around by concealing their identity. The same principle holds true for Muslims.

It is time to quit fixating on the superficial and pay attention to the substantive issues which nobody has the courage to confront.
