So, i send a message ofr the Americans: never, never permits in the future a mass-immigration of muslims.The muslism rise drammatically the level of criminality by raping italian girls, sells drugs to our boys at the shadow of Church, they conquer entire palace or city-zone and expelling all the native population.

before their coming, you can go out in the street even at the 3 am and never happened to you; now the people are scary about street-violence, and our politicans nevr do anything to stop this.

And now mosques are blooming from sicily to norway, and you can’t know what they do into this refugees.

In France, germany, holland, UK this situation happened since 70’s.

So, the europeans now knows the hate of Islam that will be destroy our culture.If europe was more strong and determinate to defend our culture, now we never see this.

In Vino Veritas,

I don’t remember the IRA ever claiming that what they were doing was God’s will. If they had done so, of course I would have wanted to hear Catholics worldwide denouncing them. (It takes little imagination to realize that Catholics would have in fact done just that.)

I agree, Bostonian.

I am going to try again to make a distinction (if possible) to a member of the nuance-understanding community.

The distinction is between 1) a belief system and 2) the adherants of the belief system. Do you have that fixed in your head? Good. Now, let’s go over it again.

A very small minority of the believers tell us that it goes against Allah for people to write their own laws. It puts the writers of the law on the level with Allah himself. Secular law of any kind is the vilest apostasy, or so these people say.

In the name of their religion, to please Allah, these people commit bombings, beheadings, kidnappings, more beheadings, etc. etc.

The majority of the believers, on the other hand, commit no violent acts and are quite innocent. (No, they should not be rounded up into detention centers; that is crazy talk. If you read Fallaci more closely, I doubt that you will find any such talk.)

Disturbingly, however, this majority does not particularly condemn the violent acts of the minority. In particular, this majority does not say unequivocally that these violent acts go against the belief system itself. This majority does not say to us, the kaffirs, that in fact these radicals are apostates.

So the question remains unanswered: does this belief system (Islam) logically call for a war against the non-Islamic world or not? Can this belief system co-exist peacefully with others or not?

I’d like to think the mindless hate Fallaci spews won’t find supporters in America, but slavery and “The only good Indian is a dead Indian” come to mind.

The low turnout at that odious gathering is a good sign. Maybe America is beyond mindless bigotry and we can avoid getting dragged into other countries’ primitive squabbles once we withdraw from Iraq.

*Drawing attention to a murderous ideology that happens to be a religion and noting that its adherants are not, by and large, disavowing the violence

and

*Calling all adherants of that religion “violent subhumans”

But let me put it another way. Is Osama Bin Laden an apostate?

It’s no wonder such a small crowd turned out to see that fading harpy of hate. She may have been great once, but what a religious bigot she’s turned into in her final days.

Even an atheist like Fallaci might want to hedge her bet this close to the final curtain….

I await monkyboy’s response with less-than-bated breath.

I must have missed the part where Fallaci describes her own plans for global domination.

But speaking of global domination, I have heard a lot of extremist Muslims talk about how democracy is the vilest apostasy that must be stopped, and about not resting until the entire world is Muslim, because Allah wills it.

And come to think of it, those guys chop heads off schoolgirls; blow up train stations, buses, dance clubs, embassies, and pizzarias; and issue fatwas against people who “defame” their religion.
