Islam in Texbooks is deception of true Jihad.

Many experts on Jihad know that Islamists groups are trying to take over through political organizations and trying to impress young minds, that Islam is to be praised and so misunderstood, and through education of the young people in colleges in American textbooks. I have been to numerous educational informational seminars being taught by experts, as well as Dr. Pipes factional and well researched information. Jihad is the Arabic word that means to struggle or "exert one's utmost." In the context of the Koran, Jihad means the struggle for good against evil. (The Evil being anyone who fails to accept Islam.)

Islamists realize their methods of forcing people to adhere to torture or beheadings, suicide bombings, do nothing for their cause or bringing people into descipleship of Islam, except by violence, so they are infiltrating the minds and political systems to bring in new advocates, probably with more success, but just as destructive in the long run to destroy the freedoms and religious freedoms of all peoples.

Recently I read an article by Frankie Sturm and Jim Arkedis- Torture helped al-Qaida not the United States. They say torture doesn't work. Submit a man to torture and he will say anything to make the pain stop.

The fact is we received alot of valuable information from Waterboarding which is more psychological than physical. Do these people believe Iran, Russia, and North Korea don't use torture to get information!!!!! Once again they are using an apologetic strategy. Who do these people take sides with the innocent, or the terrorists?

They are saying its evil to get information that could save more lives than the lives of the agressors who want to create havoc. Our political system is so screwed up, I wonder if we will ever recover? I'm glad we have excellent investigators like Dr. Pipes putting the truth out there!
