Islam is the greatest threat to democracy and freedom since the Nazis

Hello Friends,

I have spent many long hours educating myself about Islam, its rationale, its history, and its operation. it seems to me that over the past 25 years most "non Muslim" goverments especially in Europe and the US have forgotten what the concept of democracy is all about.... FREEDOM. freedom of expression, freedom of women as equals, freedom to critcise, freedom to defend our democracy and everything it manifests in our imperfect societies. now as you are all no doubt aware, the biggest flaw in our democracy is that it guarantees the rights of all to a point of view, even if this point of view promotes murder, oppression, occupation and subjugation all in the name of religion.... yes, you guessed it.. ISLAM.. now i dont have two or three days to trawl through the thousans of entries in the Koran promoting and defending the killing of non muslims, or the praising of those killed thrying to do it, i also have not got the time to explain in great detail the facts that demonstrate that all muslims are basically "programmed " by their religion to spread their "faith" by whatever means neccesary including the sword, well in fact predominantly the sword, if we look at islam historically it has always utilised terror, oppression, and mass murder to achieve its aims,,,, and to be honest.. nothing has really changed.

I would of course love to continue this discussion and defend my point of view,

as churchill said... an appeaser is a person that feeds a crocodile hooping it eats them last.......
