Putting Islam on the Same Level: "The Three Great Religions"

Submitted by Dallas (Canada), Dec 11, 2009 at 08:38

National Geographic has a very nice-looking special book on the newsstands called "The Holy Land". I found myself railing inside about the equal billing that Islam is still getting as One of the Three Great Religions which share the Holy Land. I suppose Nat Geo is trying to be apolitical but geeze... I can't help but see the elephant in the room when Islam is billed as equal.

Islamic actions ranging from the Da'wa which Gadaffi and others - the promise of the Islamists to dominate with demographics - Arafat's remarks about the mother's womb, the conscious takeover of Britain, the until-now tolerated public demonstrations and incitements to murder any "offenders of Islam", to the common daily atrocities all over the world in the name of Islam... all these actions create a visceral reaction now when I see Islam being portrayed as a religion equal to Christianity and Judaism. There are a million other examples. They have done it to themselves and it takes EVENTS to wake people up.

It's been the frog in the pot syndrome up until now, and just maybe the frog is starting to notice that the water is heating up.

The term "Islamophobia" (implying that this is a phobia and an IRRATIONAL reaction) is a manufactured apologists term to deflect the issue back to we who are merely experiencing a natural response to the barbarism of Islamic practices.

The myriad excuses and complaints about the oppression of the Muslims by the West... these ring so hollow and no longer have any validity. The Big Lie is finally beeing seen for what it is. Truth will prevail.
