Islam's useful idiots will ignore the truth

"Islamist anger and aspirations truly do motivate their terrorist enemies. Ignoring this fact will not make it disappear."

These statements are certainly true but the doctrine of Islam and the clerics who inculcate its hate, intolerance, and supremacy into muslim minds are the motivators of terrorists. The Qur'an inspires Muslims and clerics motivate them to jihad and terrorism. Their spiritual advisers are often well-known and respected (in Muslim circles) Islamic scholars or imams.

It amazes me that there are still people who absolutely refuse to believe that Islam is NOT a religion of peace, but is in fact a manifesto of perpetual war. It enrages me that politicians, pundits, academics, and even our president continue to lie to the American people about this malevolent creed. They have chosen multicultural relativism over rationality and have obfuscated the magnitude of malevolence that envelops Islamic societies where women are enslaved, human rights are nonexistent, and hatred of Jews and Christians is ubiquitous. Hate, intolerance, jihad, supremacy, and imaginary victimhood are the madrassas' core curriculum and the only textbook is the Qur'an. It seems like a few of the self-appointed 'experts' on Islam could learn what it teaches before they launch their campaigns to educate the ignorant.
