Facts: - "Islam" means submission. But to what? To faith, the antithesis of reason. Now some may say Catholics (and I am an atheist, just to make that clear) use faith. Well, they do, but Aquinas essentially attempted to use reason to prove the existence of God. The pure faith-based epistemology of Catholicism is Augustinian, and Augustine was a serious fanatic and head case. - Shari'a condones the death penalty for homosexuality. Nice, isn't it? But it gets better because as you know, a married Muslim woman who is raped, without sufficient "witnesses" gets stoned to death for adultery. Yes, there are sites on the web that actually show a woman being stoned to death by a Muslim mob. But remember, it's the will of Allah. I think the religious right is nuts. Creationism is moronic. But even the Westboro "God hates f*gs" people, evil as they are, disgusting as they are, even the worst thing they ever dead doesn't come close to what shari'a decrees and Muslims enforce. - Taqiyya, meaning "dissimulation," is a precept of Islam, when dealing with apostates. Who are apostates? Simple! Anyone not a Muslim: atheists, agnostics, Mormons, Jews, Catholics, Buddhists, Gaia worshippers, you name it, if you ain't with Allah, you are an apostate. What's the penalty for apostates? Oh, yeah, death ... well unless you pay to serve in dhimmitude to be a second class citizen living at the best of the Muslim majority. That's the vision of the caliphate. It's been done before and unlike the Catholics, there is no Muslim Aquinas. You see taqiyya on the world stage, where speeches given in English preach peace and speeches in Arabic (often translated by MEMRI) preach death to Westerners, death to the Jews, death to apostates. - In Egypt and in Africa, Christians are murdered, raped, and persecuted every day. Churches are burned down or otherwise razed. This is the "proper" treatment for apostates, you see. Those are the lucky ones. The unlucky ones are captured and sold into real sexual slavery often under the age of 10. - Islam is a political movement. It is not a religion. It seeks world domination. It can only get that if qua Bacon, evil triumphs only when good men do nothing. Or to update that, when everyone is politically correct. - Anyone who thinks otherwise is advised to post a list not of 4 Christian wackos who bombed abortion clinics but of tens of thousands of terrorist actions (including something about planes flying into buildings). Yes, there are Christian wackos, Jewish wackos, even Taoist wackos. Mental illness can occur anywhere. Here you are talking about a political movement that uses terror as a weapon. It is not psychopaths who commit terror (although they often use uneducated pawns to do the "dirty work" of suicide bombings). The planners -- and in some cases the executors (see 9/11) are well-educated, rich, privileged, intelligent and absolutely, utterly evil. Just like the current head of Al Queda is a medical doctor. bin Laden was among other things, an engineer. - You can criticize any religion and Christians and Catholics for ritual based on faith; for early wrongs like the Inquisition; for being creationists (typically Protestant Evangelicals); for being prudes; and for a host of other things. But today and for the last few centuries, excluding specialized cases (e.g., the IRA), they're not terrorists. They're not murderers. They're not trying to destroy Western Civ.
