Well, who'da thunk it?

"So often you hear that Islam is a religion of peace in America. But there is not a single word 'peace' in the entire holy book called Koran towards non-Muslims. Not a single word that is called 'peace.' And it's hundreds of times it says, 'Go kill those who are not Muslims.' And still it is called the religion of peace, unfortunately. Why that's so? Because we just don't know. That's the problem. Americans do not know, and they are -- it's easy to deceive them....

Maine recently received a visitor from Islam, a very important visitor that you will likely not read about in newspapers. In fact, all of Christendom has received this visitor, a convert to Christianity from the "religion" that Chesterton referred to as "something like a Christian heresy."

Dr. Daniel Shayesteh, a former member of Hezbollah in Iran, spoke at the Faith Baptist Church in Millinocket on Sunday, Sept. 19th. His lecture is transcribed here...

Islam is not a religion, in my opinion. It is a form of totalitarian government run by barbaric clerics.

The sooner Americans recognize this fact, the better the chances for the survival of freedom on planet Earth.

Even Imam Rauf would agree that Islam is a complete way of living. There is no need of nation states or governments when Islam is universal and Shari'ah is the Law.

I just watched the film Islam: What the West Needs to Know and need to make a correction. Apparently Islam is the religion of peace... But that peace is only achieved when the heads are removed from the bodies of all non-muslims. Sorry for the misunderstanding.

The Dist. just covered it very well. The ones' that want to kill us is all I am cocerned about and until I see a great increase in the voice against that, I will know all I need to know and undrestand.

Once great cultures have managed to stay in the cess pool and Islam is why!

The man who the article about says the same thing. He says "Islam is a political religion." He goes on to say that the second goal of Islam, after the first goal of destroying Israel, is to "destroy other religions. The priority is given to Christianity because the second priority for the destruction of religions in the Koran is Christianity. And also now, priority is given to America because America is the strongest Christian country in the world compared to other countries. And also, America holds millions of Jews in this country."

But the scariest part of what he said -- at least what is in this particular article -- is this:

Quote:
According to Islam, if you build a mosque in a non-Islamic country, after the building of that mosque, that country belongs to Islamic world and only to Muslims who live in that country. So if you have got one mosque in America, according to Islam, America is an Islamic country…

What Dr. Shayesteh has to say is crucial to understanding not just Islam, but understanding what the peril is for this country.

Towards more understanding of Islam:

Pajamas Media: Mainstream Islam rejects freedom of conscience

"On September 28-30, 2010, the Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC), in cooperation with the American Islamic College (AIC), is sponsoring a program at the AIC’s Chicago campus titled “The Role of the OIC and the scope for its relations with American Muslims....one must seriously consider the extent of OIC propaganda efforts aimed at the Islamization of our country. Perhaps in Chicago some intrepid (and informed) mainstream media reporter — underscoring how the OIC’s agenda is diametrically opposed to the U.S. Constitution — will ask the representatives of this avatar of mainstream Islam about its blatant rejection of freedom of conscience, described below..."

Please read the entire article, well worth the time for the historical and religious context.
