The Muslim world is at war with Western civilization. The question is: Do we have the intelligence to recognize the attack and the will to defend ourselves from annihilation? I've never heard broad Muslim condemnation of their fellow Muslims' murderous acts committed in the name of their god.Don't expect it because Muslims understand that they are at war with the west and these action that we call barbaric are acts of war against an enemy. Muslim atrocities, and the collective Muslim response to those atrocities, might be better understood knowing their belief system as spelled out by a few, among many, passages from the Quran: "Fight those who do not believe in Allah" (Surat At-Taubah 9:29). "I will instill terror into the hearts of the unbelievers, Smite ye above their necks and smite all their finger tips of them" (Quran 8:12). "The unbelievers among the People of the Book and the pagans shall burn forever in the fire of Hell. They are the vilest of all creatures" (Quran 98:1-8). "Fight against those who believe not in Allah, and those who acknowledge not the religion of truth (Islam), until they are subdued" (Surat At-Taubah 9:29). so what are we going to do about it?
