Bush didn't understand it before 9/11 and when he said that Islam is the religion of peace - that gives us a clue that he still did not understand Islam. Calling this war - a war on terror - gives us another clue the government still does not understand Islam. He needs to call this war correctly - not call it a war against a tactic - but a war against Islam.
Clinton certainly escalated the Islamics actions against us. While the left worries that the FRench laugh at us - I know now that during his administration - the Islamics were laughing at us and that is what we should be more concerned with. He enabled them when he cut/run out of Somalia, lobbed a missile at Hussein and then did nothing else, and then helped muslims slaughter more Christian in Bosnia/Kosovo. And this enabled Al Qaeda to set up bases there and train muslims to kill us. 5 of the 19 of 9/11 came from there, all of the London and Madrid bombers came from there along with the fuses of the bombs. It is still a hotbed that the left, oh er I mean NATO, just sits back and watch muslims slaughter innocents.
Because the left hates Bush, they don't do anything else except to fight his policies and that only tells the muslims that the USA does not have the resolve to fight them.
Now, we see muslims wanting the koran used in courts of law - the koran, which says to lie to us, to decieve us in order to advance Islam. There is no 10 commandments in the koran - nothing that tells them to tell the truth to anyone. And the congressman who used the koran to take the oath of office - that was another joke. The koran is the same book that is telling them to fight us, the infidels, and Islamicize the world.
Right now, the muslims in America are in dar al Suyl (I think I spelled that correctly) basically it is a state of deception. They are to mislead us until they can achieve dar al Islam (Islamicize us). And they will probably have to go into dar al Harb (state of war) like they have in other countries - Lebanon, Eastern Europe, Western Europe, Southeast Asia, Africa, etc.
So, what am I saying - the Republicans have a closer idea as to what we are up against after 9/11 - but not because they have a clue of what Islam is all about - but because it is politically better right now.
I don't believe in 'moderate' muslims anymore. Why? Because all those millions of 'moderates' do nothing to stop the radicals. They dance and ulalate in the streets when their psychopathic murderers, oh er I mean 'martyrs', kill innocents; they knowingly mislead us as to what Islam is really about, ie: jihad ( it is NOT a peaceful, inner struggle!); and they are told by their koran (and hadiths) that if they cannot do the killing then they are supposed to support those who do by other means in order to attain heaven. And that is what we see today while they are in dar al suyl.
Robert did a great job and I really wish that more people will have a closer look into these problems.
I think he is more realistic than D'Souza. D'Souza thinks that 9/11 wouldn't have happened if it weren't for the liberals - and I hate to tell him but Reagon and Bush I both empowered the radicals during their term. It just wasn't as great as when Clinton empowered them (see my post above).
History does matter with Islam - and just because they got beaten back during one time period - Islam is a powser keg that we all sit on since its teachings in the koran tell them to wage violent jihad against us. All Islam needed was the right circumstances and right leader(s) to start its violence.
How can D'Souza explain the violence in Southeast Asia, Africa, Eastern Europe, and now Western Europe? they were not all liberals. ALthough the Western Europeans have a disease called liberalism that has given islamofacists carte blanche access to all of Europe. It is what we are fighting on two fronts now - liberalism and Islamofacists.
How do you not isolate the so called 'moderates' in this??!! They do absolutely nothing and are a-ok with the killings and dissemination of 'infidels' in mostly muslim countries. I am tired of this cowardice of 'moderate' muslims while they are a-ok with the killings of others.
And one more thing - the BIG difference between fundamentalist Christian (or any other fundamentalist) vs fundamentalist muslims - we treat those who bomb people and places as criminals and give them a trial and jail. Muslims do not - they praise them as jihadists and martyrs.
Many of the muslim's (moderates too) are against non-muslims and women. There are other laws - but they are mostly sexual in nature and fall into the laws against women while the men, mostly, get off with the 'crimes'.
SSgt, I do not understand why you feel that most Americans have no knowlege of the Islamic terrorism which has continued for centuries, and is threatening to explode upon us here in the United States. 9/11 was not the first time we have been attacked, just the first time on our own sovereign soil.
You have an awful cheek claiming to be "one of the few who is getting an understanding of it" Numerous people were aware of the fate that Islamo-Nazis intended for non-Moslems years before 9/11. You were probably warned by someone but chose to ignore the information.
Then you said, "but it has taken many books, and other readings and listening to people on the web".Lester Sumrall wrote a book more than 25 years ago warning against the coming Jihad and explaining that the Islamics hated us. Mr Sumrall was a Christian writer, but his books are still in print and there are others who also wrote warning us that we were not safe as a nation or as non-Moslems. Long before the web was developed, people cautioned us that we were not safe from the coming menace of Islamic Jihad just because we are not Moslem and not because we are a threat to them.
If you listen to what they say it is not to hard to figure out that they are the enem, period!
Once the oil runs out, then we'll see muslim power return to it's post-World War One level.
Robert, keep up the good work, more & more people are getting your message!
Your argument does not hold oil, er, water.
I also think that Spencer has a right to be alerted - I won't call it fear though. Look at Lebanon, and Eastern Europe, and what the muslims have done to that country - the 'moderates' sat back and did nothing while the radicals are chewing it up. It is now happening in Europe. And why? the same thing - the radicals and left wing apologists are chewing up that country for Islam while the 'moderates' do nothing.
We have seen the same thing happening in Pakistan, Kashmir, India, the Phillipines, Malaysia, Indonesia, Africa, and they are in South America too.
Look at how many people are in a tither over 9/11 and that it was a USA, or BUsh, or Jewish conspiracy. Look at what those who do know what we are up against have to fight - our own politicians, college people, and media in order to get across - 'we have a problem, Houston'.
One thing I have noticed - the mainstream media barely mentions anything at all except to point out how many people have died in Iraq. They hate Bush and are so blind that they can't think any further than that. They want Bush to fail. Unfortunately for them, Islamofacists hate them too. They just use them and will throw them away if the time comes.
Your critique of Lores as a speaker and talk show host is misplaced. What were you listening to that evening?
I had to listen to Lores on the radio stream, but there was no undue speech impediment or confusion on her part. Also I do not feel that Lores should have been expected to referee two experienced speakers as though they were children.
The fact that both D'Souza and Spencer were so passionate about their beliefs and subject knowledge, and chose to use the forum of Lores's show to air their differences of opinion, does not detract from her expertise as an accomplished and competent host.
I am a conservative talk show host listener with 20 years experience and I choose to listen to Lores on Sunday nights because she is articulate and well informed.
