Why this blog?
Until this moment I have been forced to listen while media and politicians alike have told me "what Canadians think". In all that time they never once asked.
This is just the voice of an ordinary Canadian yelling back at the radio -
"You don't speak for me."

Never a sniper around when you need one…
Why are we allowing these @sswipes into our countries?????
If one of those idiots made a fatwa condemning violence, and demanding peaceful relationships amongst all people then maybe the problem would resolve itself.
Why don’t they do that? Hmm?
It’s long — about 20 pages –but well worth the read. Reading it, you have to conclude that Condi Rice is insane and that the Bush administration has not just buried the “Bush doctrine” but have joined with the jihadists. Bostom has a book out soon on the subject.
Andrew Bostom on Islamic Jew Hatred
Why is this façade able to continue? go to http://www.thereligionofpeace.com more then 10000 jihad attacks since 9/11!!! Jews have 159 Nobel Prizes how many do Muslims have? And don’t count the one given to Yasser Arafat, that guy swam in the money stolen from the Palestinians while “his people” starved to death. He was a refugee peasant which rose from the ashes to lead his people but when he died he had amassed an 800 billion personal wealth!!! While he had 13 boys strap bombs to there waist filled with nails and broken glass!!! Anyways the dynamite wick is slowly burning!!

I’ve wondered about that myself Tex. Who are all the people getting these pics,films,etc??? If they can get in that easy,then why not somebody from a 1000 yds? (Oh damn. Here come the lefties with the conspiracy theories about Bush/Big Oil/ etc)
And we wonder why planes fly INTO TALL BUILDINGS!!
When do we come to our collective senses here?
You know, its that freedom of speech thing. They use it to condemn and attack us and also protect themselves. In the end our general freedoms will be the key to their success and our demise.
How long till Doreen comes over and accuses Kate of “demonizing Muslims”?
You know, I’m reminded again of why I ultimately appreciate the capacity to use force.
A lot of people think force is a bad thing. And I can understand why they feel this way, because I hate and despise violence and the use of force. And yet at the same time, while despising it, I am greatly relieved in the capacity to use it.
You look at this video clip, and it’s easy to see that there are no other options with these people.
You can’t reason with them. They live in an alternative universe. You can’t come to any meaningful compromise with them. And I despise that they give us no options. They force us to have to dirty our hands with them.
Right now we’re trying to fight a war that includes the parameters of only killing the people that we have to. That’s very dangerous for us. The safest thing would be universal saturation bombing for about a couple of years straight, and turn a lot of these countries into Dresdens of the Middle East. If the old Soviet Union were in our place, they would do exactly that.
But we have to go to extra risk and place ourselves in more danger so that we can try to limit our targets to the actual threats to our mission. That’s not easy to do, and sometimes there are regrettable incidents when non-combatants get in the way.
And yet despite all these horrible things, in the end force is our salvation, and the only possiblity that they allow us. And in the end I thank God that we have the capacity and the ability and the will to confront this and prevail victoriously.
It’s a little bit weird to have appreciation for something that you fundamentally hate. But that’s one of the paradoxical facts. The most horrible thing that we know can be our greatest blessing.
me no dhimmi,
if Condi and W are insane re:Annapolis, what does that make Olmert, Livni and crew? (and people think that Jews are smart)
Greg in Dallas…..not that wierd…to paraphrase…a man that will not fight for his freedom or life,deserves neither. I’m ex-military.Seen some ugly s&&t.Difference is,that s&&t was NOT done defending one’s life or freedom,it was done by tinpot dictators,religious fanatics(yeah Islam),etc. to further their goal of total subjugation. Yet this is what the left bows down to and thinks they can appease.
The sissiest kid in my high school class joined the Forces at the same time as I did.Wouldn’t hurt a fly.But as soon as he had to,well,the SOB can check my back anytime.
IMHO, I think the difference is YOU know the difference between using force for right and protection,and using it for subjugation and terror.
“If one of those idiots made a fatwa condemning violence, and demanding peaceful relationships amongst all people then maybe the problem would resolve itself.
Why don’t they do that? Hmm?

But langmann….doesn’t the title say it all? A good deed does not require a fatwa? Sorta like our no good deed goes unpunished? Oh wait…
Justthinking,
I appreciate your service. I know what you mean — I’m a VietNam vet, and I’ve taught hand-to-hand combat and have been an amateur boxer. Despite these things, or maybe because of them, I detest violence, and yet I am very pleased with my capacity to deal with it effectively.
For the first 5 years after I got back from VietNam I would walk out of a movie if it just had the cavalry coming over the hill. I had had enough of it for a liftime. But as I get older, I find that the post-combat view of violence that I held has been replaced by a stoic realization that you and I can say to these people who want to kill us, “No you won’t, because I’m going to blow your brains out.” It’s just that simple. There’s a satisfying finality to that realization.
Is there a moderate in the house?
Here’s two moderates for you:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2WLoasfOLpQ – Wafa Sultan
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c0DRlBa4KVI – Nonie Darwish
My concern isn’t with these lunatic clerics. There’s about a thousand surveillance satellites trained on them 24/7, and a small army of trained intelligence officers keeping tabs on their associates and their every move.
No, my worry is with websites like this one, which intentionally or otherwise create precisely the sort of anti-Muslim climate that does no good except risk turning an otherwise moderate or indifferent Muslim into someone who might actually be responsive to these imams’ messages of hate.
If I’m a young Muslim Canadian who just happens to stumble across SDA, am I going to think:
(A) “Ah, nice to see folks realizing that not all Muslims are terrorists.”
or
(B) “Wow, lots of Canadians seem to hate me.”
But Michel, I just posted two links to moderates.
In what way does that make SDA a hotbed of hatred?
The thing is, Michel, you’ve got to listen to the
chicks on this one, dude. Go listen to what Wafa
and Nonie say. We’ve got some male nutcases running
around lad, threatening the commons, and it’s up to
us men to finally throw down the gauntlet and stand
our ground.
Michel, maybe your hypothetical young Muslim would think “hey, these clerics are lunatics, I’m glad I live in a country where we can condemn them as such without fearing for our lives”.
POLL: Afghans’ Criticism of U.S. Efforts Rises; In the Southwest, Taliban Support Grows
(abcnews.go.com/PollingUnit/story?id=3931809&page=1)
Michel..if only we had built more basketball courts!
Why don’t you love us? why are you upset that we aim to destroy your way of life with our non commital/ studied indifference?
Why do you westerners force us to be quiet and tacitly support the lunatics that run our asylum?
Why Why Why?
There is no moderate Islam, there is only Islam.
Greg…damn..didn’t know you did Vietnam.You’ve seen more then me. Funny. After 3 years as Army,I remustered to Airforce. 1st posting Greenwood training as electrical on the Auroras(you call them PC-3’s).Spent 6 months in that little spot called Burbank..Some little aircraft plant called Lockheed..:). The guy that eventuallly trained me as FE was a Nam vet. Door gunner he was.The eletrical engineer that trained me on on CP-140’s? Little guy called Robbie Robbison.Man did he know his s&&t and teqilla!!!
I am sick of hearing about moderate muslims. Where are they at condeming the actions of their leaders? Are we suppose to sit back and not comment on the barbaric nature of islam? We already have the feminist and left government parties doing that.
The muslims think we are all weak and stupid. They use our tolerance and kindness against us. Do not let them think for a minute that we would surrender to their fucked up god, and his barbaric oppression.
Wow, lots of muslims seem to hate me! Just for you Michel.
But Michel, a lot of people DO hate Muslims. Ever stop to ask why?
Don’t shoot/behead/sexually mutilate/fly airplanes into the messenger.
Why are we allowing these @sswipes into our countries?????
Joe Canuck
Because no one listens to “we the people” IE, the majority of Canadians who want to cut immigration rates.
a survey
another survey
Yet another survey
Better to listen to the champagne clinkers at the MSM’s than the majority of Canadians….
But Michel, a lot of people DO hate Muslims. Ever stop to ask why?
“Islamophobic – anyone who objects to having their transport blown up on the way to work.”
Will the CBC ever have documentaries about the victims saying how immigration ruined their lives?
You know when you live in PC times when you can’t complain about people who would kill you.
The system works for them not you, apparently.
Indeed, Joe Canuck…”Why are we allowing these @sswipes into our country”?
They are about as far removed form our way of life as they can get.
They seem intent on coming to our Western democracies and remaining foreign bodies, as a result they should be treated as such and rejected.
Actions speak louder and ring truer than words. The Muslims are trying to spread the myth Islam is the religion of peace while it’s proving throughout the world it’s anything but.
This recent episode with the British teacher is a glaring example of their whacked out religio.Crazed hordes took to the streets even calling for her execution because a pupil named Mohammed wanted to call a teddy bear Mohammed. I’d say that would be blasphemous to teddy bears everywhere at this point.
It appears they have a daunting task to bring their f**ked up mess into 21st century civilization and evolve into something resembling humanity. Until they do, we have a global problem and anything but peace in our time.
They’re taking life and death advice from a guy who hears talking stones and trees??
Dat be one f’ed up belief system dare Andy
Michel – rewatch the video that opened this subject. Now, tell me where the hate lives. We don’t stand up in our Christian churches and advocate killing anybody let alone Muslims. I have come to believe that there is a huge faction of Muslims that are radical and facist. That is where the hate lives. If I were a Christian in Saudi Arabia I just might get the idea that alot of people hate me and I would have good reason to believe that – especially if I were a Jew.
dinosaur:
Then you need to stop taking surveys, bitching and moaning on blogsites and ‘get it on’ Barry White style.
The reason Canadian government policy is immigration pro is that Canadians are not propogating, and as we all know, you have to have growth in population to continue to have economic growth (sustainable). Our growth comes from the immigrants who come to Canada every year, many from the eastern part of the world where this craziness lurks. Doesn’t make em all crazy nutjobs, but it does propogate cultural bias, misunderstanding and hatred towards those who are not crazy nutjobs…
Anyone have an idea for a crazy nutjob detector? Go to the Dragon’s Den and get some cash and start innovating baby.
Cheers!

“But Michel, a lot of people DO hate Muslims. Ever stop to ask why?”
Sure, I’ve asked why. Around here, my answer is, because a small group of angry psychopaths find solace in killing others using a perverted notion of Islam that treats Westerners as infidels rather than fellow human beings, and certain terrified folks over here find solace in discriminating against others using a perverted notion of patriotic conservatism that treats Muslims as a single monolithic group rather than a diverse set of individuals.
“Now, tell me where the hate lives.”
I never said that fanatical clerics aren’t spreading hate. I know they are. Everybody knows they are.
I’m saying that their hate, or the fact that Jews are hated in much of Saudi Arabia, shouldn’t justify our own hate.
“We don’t stand up in our Christian churches and advocate killing anybody let alone Muslims.”
No, but certain folks here have, at various times, advocated strongly for banning all Muslim immigration to Canada, deportation, even nuking entire nations.
If you’re a first-, second-, third-generation Canadian of Muslim faith and Iranian descent with family back in those Muslim nations, and you were constantly greeted with those messages, how might that make you feel? Hurt? A bit angry, perhaps?
I’m not saying that you shouldn’t criticize the fanatics. You should. I’m saying that, in doing so, you may want to be careful with your choice of language. Too broad a brush will tar much-needed potential allies.
Uh leto way cool left wing spin let me bring you to reality, ok.
First you don’t seem to care too much that the government doesn’t give a rats a__ about what the people want in a so called democracy. You decide if it makes you a fascist.
Next our immigration rate has nothing at all to do with population growth. Nothing! Show me any evidence that immigration is tied to a falling population, one order in council or law because I’ve looked and seen none. I’m willing to be proven wrong so prove it, because our population is growing with no immigration and it does so in spite4 of the fact that immigrants count as part of the death rate too.
In fact it’s a total lie Leto, our pop is slated to grow according to statscan until 2030 without 1 immigrant showing up.
Without one! Thus we don’t need the Khadirs here if it’s just about population but it isn’t.
I have that on my blog if you want post 15.
Course the MSM’s spin it that we need lots now for when it “might” drop in 2030. And there are a few possibilities never considered,
a) If it doesn’t drop. Ie if the truth gets out that women not having kids before they are 30 leads to an increased breast cancer risk.
b) if it’s more than 33 million and doesn’t drop to 33 million who cares.
c) if it does drop below 33 million will that be bad?
In fact, since we said every third world sot has more rights here than us evil white folk in the sixties our population has gone from 20 million in 1967 to 33 million now, so we needed to add 13 million people in case the population fell? LOL.
And if the population falls that’s good for the lower classes anyway. Always has been since the black plague I know this because I unfortunately read the odd History book. not the revisionist crap written in the last 20-30 years either.
Fact is a population decline means: rent goes down because property values fall; it also means wages go up as if you want someone to work you better pay more. I mean the realestate in toronto wouldn’t possibly hold the same price with 1/2 as many people would it? Imagine all those people living in basements able to afford their own houses. The horror, as lefties see it. Because they don’t care about people who can’t afford their own homes they think the only solution is more government housing til we are as rich as the Russians were when the USSR collapsed.
Then there’s the environmental aspects of fewer people, fewer people means less urban sprawl, Toronto looks ugly compared to when I was a kid, fewer pollutants, fewer roads, fewer of everything some environmentalists care most don’t.
Luckily they didn’t know the joys of massive 3rd world immigration after the Black plague hit Europe or the Beatles would have all been hung after they sang “Please Please me.” by the nearest Imam,
Luckily in 300 years that will be the case because we’ve trapped our children into a future that looks bleak.
Imagine when whites are the minority and they have hiring quotas.
And how much does hiring quotas put back our population? Every western country has had a declining birthrate since we opened our doors to the third world. People keep telloing me they wouldn’t want to bring children up in times like these. Now who makes it times like these, you leto you do.
The Canadian govt is indeed interested in immigration due to our lack of populating our own country..what the previous liberal govts did was ensure that the type of immigrants coming here, would be incompatable with our way of life, but great for their electoral prospects.
We will all rue the day that liberals cut immigration from western european nations.
It is cultural genocide to replace a population with those committed to our destruction.
AAAHHHHH the religion of peace ! Refreshing, open minded, tolerant and loving.
BWWWAHAHAHAAA!!!! —
You have it right on the mark, kursk.
All the proof anyone needs is glance at the Liberal support in Toronto for starters, where there is a huge concentration of immigrants, all loyal to the Liberals. They’ve been fed lies and kept loyal to the Liberals through the cheapest of scare tactics.
Years after 9/11, Michel, some of us are still waiting for the counter-demonstrations from all these invisible moderate Muslims. Instead, their silence is read as approval and consent. Imagine that!
Not surprisingly, some of us are getting impatient waiting for this and getting a bit bitchy. imagine that.
Can you explain how radicals have “hijacked” a religion that’s holy book tells all Muslims to kill infidels? How is that hijacking? Isn’t that just being devout?
Please don’t tell me the bible says crazy stuff too. It does. But Christians and Jews encourage _interpretation_ and scholarship. In fact, the Catholic Church has forbidden biblical literalism as a heresy.
Muslims do not do any of these things. They encourage memorization not study or interpretation.
It is no coincidence that Jews and Christians are more literate than Muslims too, win more Nobel Prizes, etc.
Basically, a lot of us are sick of Muslim lunacy and have been for years. We’re also sick of being criticized just for mentioning this aloud.
Muslims need to start watching what they say and do. I think we’ve been VERY patient with them so far given what they get up to.
Hey they’re just being good Muslims.
They’re saying and inciting exactly what they’re commanded to in their holy war books.
What joins every Muslim regardless of sect? The Quran. However, the pillars of Islam are not described and the Quran has no context without the Sira (bio of Mo) and Hadith (actions and sayings of Mo).
Their claim of being one of the three Abrahamic religions is false, other than the stories they pilfered and changed. Allah does not mean God in Arabic. Allah is the name for their god. Ilah means God in Arabic. The Jewish and Christian God is not named allah.
The clerics in the video are just repeating what the Islamic clerics and princes have repeated for centuries.
(Sira) Ishaq:327 “Allah said, ‘A prophet must slaughter before collecting captives. A slaughtered enemy is driven from the land. Muhammad, you craved the desires of this world, its goods and the ransom captives would bring. But Allah desires killing them to manifest the religion.'”
So kill first, kill many, until they leave their land.
Mohammad as a thief and brigand craves all the material goods of the vanquished and to rape the women before selling them into slavery.
But Allah would rather that Mohammad kill them all to manifest Allah’s religion based, obviously, on blood sacrifice.
Could there be a more clear description of Satanism?
(Hadith) Bukhari:V5B59N512 “The Prophet had their men killed, their children and woman taken captive.”
Raped and then sold into slavery.
Qur’an 33:26 “Allah made the Jews leave their homes by terrorizing them so that you killed some and made many captive. And He made you inherit their lands, their homes, and their wealth. He gave you a country you had not traversed before.”
In Mohammad’s and his companion’s words, this is what Islam is and how it spread and continues to spread.
Tabari IX:69 “Arabs were the first to respond to the call of the Prophet. We are Allah’s helpers and the viziers of His Messenger. We fight people until they believe in Allah. He who believes in Allah and His Messenger has protected his life and possessions from us. As for one who disbelieves, we will fight him forever in the Cause of Allah. Killing him is a small matter to us.”
Muslims are commanded to make perpetual war (forever) until the whole world is for Allah and his prophet.
So how do the Muslims cover their tracks? Well, deception. Afterall, Mo said “war is deception.”
Here’s a verse that they love to quote to prove that Islam means peace:
Qur’an 5:32 says: “On that account: We ordained for the Children of Israel that if anyone slew a person – unless it be in retaliation for murder or for spreading mischief in the land – it would be as if he slew all mankind: and if anyone saved a life, it would be as if he saved the life of all humanity.”
That sounds good until you realize that the line was plagiarized verbatim from the Mishnah Sanhedrin (Jewish texts) and that it’s followed by:
Qur’an 5:33: “The punishment for those who wage war against Allah and His Messenger and who do mischief [non-Islamic behavior] in the land is only that they shall be killed or crucified, or their hands and their feet shall be cut off on opposite sides, or they shall be exiled. That is their disgrace in this world, and a dreadful torment is theirs in Hell.”
That’s the context. The way Muslim apologists present Quran 5:32 is deception and out of context.
In 1786, Jefferson, then the American ambassador to France, and Adams, then the American ambassador to Britain, met in London with Sidi Haji Abdul Rahman Adja, the “Dey of Algiers” ambassador to Britain.
During the meeting Jefferson and Adams asked the Dey’s ambassador why Muslims held so much hostility towards America, a nation with which they had no previous contacts.
Sound familiar? (“Why do you hate us so much?”)
In a later meeting with the American Congress, the two future presidents reported that Ambassador Sidi Haji Abdul Rahman Adja had answered that Islam “was founded on the Laws of their Prophet, that it was written in their Quran, that all nations who should not have acknowledged their authority were sinners, that it was their right and duty to make war upon them wherever they could be found, and to make slaves of all they could take as Prisoners, and that every Musselman (Muslim) who should be slain in Battle was sure to go to Paradise.”
So scholars like Doreen who wonder about the supposed “recent radicalization” and then blame it on a couple of radicals here and there, because overall, “Islam is a religion of peace,” are more dangerous to us in their ignorance than the terrorists are with their bombs.
Sorry for the long post.
Michael, not to pile on or anything, but I just wanna know:
Why, when Kate posts any bad act by any Muslim such as this dilly posted here, why is it that -I- am always the problem?
“No, my worry is with websites like this one, which intentionally or otherwise create precisely the sort of anti-Muslim climate that does no good except risk turning an otherwise moderate or indifferent Muslim into someone who might actually be responsive to these imams’ messages of hate.”
If I object, that’s going to make ’em REALLY mad? Gee, faced with Mr. “Kill-The-Jooooos!” I think I’ll take that chance.
There’s a difference between freedom of speech and inciting to riot. Its a distinction you should study.
Justthinking,
that sounds like interesting duty. And since you lived down here at least you realize that America is not quite as bad as the left suggests. I think that if I had it all to do over again, I might go the Air Force route myself.
Immigration.
If government would stop taxing and regulating everyone into slavery and clean up our toxic cultures and turn them into a more family-friendly environment, North Americans would start to feel a lot more comfortable about having larger families.
The way it is now, the culture is so toxic that governments cynically fill their mandates with immigrants foreign to our cultures and our way of life.
Michael,
The US really appreciates Canada’s new role in the world because of the Harper election and the initiatives in Afghanistan.
It is to be wondered if France and Germany would have taken the more conservative directions that they have had Canada not begun to move in a more conservative direction. We always knew that Canada had a more persuasive voice in Europe than ours, and thank God Canada has started to use it.
And Michael, there’s no need to bend over and kiss your backside because people are in the Canadian forces, but you do need to have at least a little appreciation for the fact that your peers are willing to undertake these missions.
And now for a word from the Islamic scholar Michel:
“my answer is, because a small group of angry psychopaths find solace in killing others using a perverted notion of Islam that treats Westerners as infidels rather than fellow human beings, and certain terrified folks over here find solace in discriminating against others using a perverted notion of patriotic conservatism that treats Muslims as a single monolithic group rather than a diverse set of individuals.”
Who are you to say they have a “perverted notion of Islam?” Can you please provide the evidence?
Have you ever read the texts? The commands and rewards in order to be a good Muslim?
The problem with most dhimmis in the west is that there’s a disconnect. ‘A Religon cannot possibly command its adherents to be terrorists; to rape, pillage and kill; to mutilate just for the joy and Allah sanctioned reward of it.’
The thing is, one must remove the veil of ‘religion’ to look at Islam critically and expose it for what it is. We did that with the ideologies of communism and naziism. Why not the foundationally violent, racist and supremacist ideology of Islam?
A politician in Dutch Parliament has the most sane proposal as a start. Mr. Wilders in his speech proposed what all western democracies must do, based on their own constitutions:
“Madam Speaker, the Koran is a book that incites to violence. I remind the House that the distribution of such texts is unlawful according to Article 132 of our Penal Code. In addition, the Koran incites to hatred and calls for murder and mayhem. The distribution of such texts is made punishable by Article 137(e). The Koran is therefore a highly dangerous book; a book which is completely against our legal order and our democratic institutions. In this light, it is an absolute necessity that the Koran be banned for the defence and reinforcement of our civilisation and our constitutional state.”
And yes, end Muslim immigration.
Michel,
You’re young. In this ‘war’ that can be a problem.
When I see those raving idiots, I see Hitler. Same rhetoric, same plan.
Go to the library and for the next month take out some books – or, if it’s easier for you, watch the History Channel.
Amazing that you’re worrying abt the feelings of the Muslims and not the feelings of the Jews. Or, is it?
GE
Michel = Doreen = Sybil.
“”Madam Speaker, the Koran is a book that incites to violence. I remind the House that the distribution of such texts is unlawful according to Article 132 of our Penal Code. In addition, the Koran incites to hatred and calls for murder and mayhem. The distribution of such texts is made punishable by Article 137(e). The Koran is therefore a highly dangerous book; a book which is completely against our legal order and our democratic institutions. In this light, it is an absolute necessity that the Koran be banned for the defence and reinforcement of our civilisation and our constitutional state.”
This, as a bare minimum, is what must be done in every civilized, peace-loving, democratic country in the world. Otherwise, the barbarians will inherit the earth.
All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident.
— Arthur Schopenhauer
“My concern isn’t with these lunatic clerics.” by Michel
It seems to me these lunatic clerics are preaching to a large following. If I was a Muslim and thought these clerics were lunatics, I wouldn’t attend their sermons, speeches, or whatever; therefore, it is obvious the clerics’ followers do not believe the clerics are lunatics at all.
Ever wonder why practicing Muslims do not assimilate into western culture in which they live, but keep to other Muslims when outside of their workplaces. Muslims believe non-Muslims are infidels – all of them.
“Instead, their silence is read as approval and consent. Imagine that!”
Your misreading of them is your problem. It’s only if you conflate all Muslims with fanatical terrorists that you’d put the onus on the former to denounce the latter.
Most white-collar criminals happen to be white, but since I don’t equate whites everywhere with the tiny fraction who are also corporate thieves, I don’t expect all white people to march against the Ken Lays of the world. Likewise, most pedophiles in Canada also happen to be white, but since I don’t equate whites everywhere with the tiny fraction who are also child molesters, I don’t expect that march to materialize down Yonge St either.
“Can you explain how radicals have “hijacked” a religion that’s holy book tells all Muslims to kill infidels?”
Kathy, I understand you live in Toronto. Take a look around. Do you see roving gangs of Muslim fanatics on killing sprees throughout the city? The vast majority are peaceful; the radicals are violent. Both read the same holy books. The latter have hijacked the former.
NO, Vitruvius!
Wafa Sultan has rejected Islam. She teaches us that the problem isn’t islamism-islamofascism-militant islam-radical islam-political islam, but I-S-L-A-M.
As does Ayyan Hirsi Ali.
And that it needs to be C-R-U-S-H-E-D. Like Nazism.
Nonie Darwish maintains however that she’s still a Muslim. She isn’t. A cultural muslim maybe like I’m a atheist but cultural Christian.
There is NO moderate Islam. Only tepid Muslims who are perhaps semi-aware, semi-devout but waiting to see which way the wind blows.
