The real problem

In its own right there is nothing disturbing about Muslims trying to convert non-Muslims. However, the real problem is that Islamists are using the notoriety of terrorism, and the publicity it gives Islam, as a tool to advance their own agenda.

This is actually a small part of a larger problem. The root of the problem is the fanatical propaganda network that has been established by Islamists around the world. The lie machine has corrupted Islamic thought since 1920 when the most vile human ever to live began his campaign against the Jews in Palestine, the grand Mufti of Jerusalem, al-Husseini.

Now large portions of the islamic world believe that the Jews were responsible for September 11th. Children are taught since infancy to hate the Jews and to love marytrdom. Al-Husseini's campaign has plunged the Middle East back into the dark ages and the plague of hatred spreads its misery wherever it goes.
