Re: Paul Christopher is right..

In the paradigm of the majority of Islamic teachers, the time will come when every NON muslim will be forced to make one of three choices: convert to islam, die, or become a slave.

Daniel Pipes has made it plain, even if he has done so with careful language.

I am but a casual commentator on a website; not-so-casual commentators on purely Islamic websites have made plain that Islam is the only choice available, and they are not interested in alternate points of view except to make plain that they will follow their hadiths and the plain instruction in the al quran.

The day may come for one or another reader of this site to have this reality literally explode in their faces; I pray for all those who must endure such violence.

What is not acceptable in our western world is to use the mass media to call Islam what it really is...

I have no problem doing so; I am only a website commentator. And a very casual one at that.

Let it be that any opinion I am here sharing is attributed to me, and me alone.

I pray that all who will know of islam will study the al quran and see for themselves what danger lies therein to all humanity.

You have my apologies, Mr. Pipes, if I have offended you or your readers; my intention is to state what I see.
