The left and right arms of Islam

I whole-heartedly agree with the tenor of this article, but especially the last statement....

"Ultimately, soft Islamism presents dangers as great as does violent Islamism."

Only a blind, naive fool can be taken in by "moderate Muslims". While I tend to earnestly believe that most Muslims would like to live in peace, the vast majority of their leadership are on the extreme right and outer fringes of insanity; boosted by all those faces of Muslim men with dental school teeth, bared in rabid anger against the West, in particular the United States.

As I've written on numerous occasions, Islam is like a human body with two arms - the left side appears to be very meek and even timid, while the right side is controlled by foaming-at-the-mouth hatred of all things Western.....not just our ideals, but also our lifestyle and clothing - and of course our religion, whatever it might be. (If it isn't in line with their sick interpretation of an already sick religion, then Christianity, Buddhism, etc., will continue to be attacked until only dim memories remain.) Both arms - both sides, in any event, are controlled by the same brain, and that brain dictates that Islam triumph over all non-Muslims. They have no choice but to pursue jihad, by their logic, because "Allah, blessed be his name" - spat! commands subservience.

While the left side lulls idiots - liberal media, Hollywood types, into thinking that if we just gave up Israel, the world would be a happy place, the right side continues to blow up buildings, people, statues, etc. Sadly, by the time that even the liberal/Hollywood types, and even "Christian" theologians see the reality of "True Islam", it will be too late; and just as sadly, there is no future undiscovered land for freedom seekers to emigrate to. America truly is the world's last best hope. But like Rome, if we can't come together in common cause and effort, and keep buying into that multicultural/diversity lunacy, then we too will fall. There are many great books from former Muslims ("apostates") who reveal just how sick and twisted this "religion of peace" is. Please read them, and tell your friends and family the truth.
