MOHAMMEDIAN IDEOLOGY

Submitted by DONVAN (United States), Jan 20, 2004 at 15:49

We can never come to any rational policy or understanding of Mohammedism so long as we approach it as a religion. We should ignore the religious veneer and confront the violent and despotic ideology of Mohammedism. This means some difficult but necessary approaches. Like previous totalitarian dictatorships, the advocates of this ideology should be registered as hostile to the state. Mosques should be monitored and members and clerics,imams,ayatollas,and the cast of players should be suspect. We will not .."Secure the blessings of liberty " so long as we trap ourselves because we are intimidated by a ideology posing as a religion.
Neither should we be given pause by the apparently overwhelming numbers who claim to be followers of Mohammed.
