United we stand divided we fall!

'The Vatican confronts Islam" is a very pertinent and informative article. Enough is enough. I have been writing and saying this for a long while now. I have seen Muslims given the olive branch and red carpet time and time again. And in return all we get are beheadings, riots, jihads, murder, and mayhem. And we seem satified with the status quo!! Unbelievable! The only way to deal with Islam is to demand that they reciprocate our gestures or remain where they are. Thank God that people see that the Jews are not the problem as Muslims so often claim. When Sadam bombed indiscriminately, when Algeria butchered the Islamists, when Turkey hunted the Kurds, when Muslim butchered Muslim there is very little protest from Muslims. And virtually none from the UN. But when little Israel defends herself and selectively destroys the threats All Islam is in uproar at home and in the UN. If we do not demand reciprocity now, then Islam will be the worse off for it.

We need to teach Islam what kindness, patience, love, and law mean. When they begin to show respect for us then we will show respect for them. When Muslims change their behaviour then the world will be a better, safer, and happier place to live in. May the real God help us to live together in peace and not manifest the wicked, blind, and senseless hatred we see coming from Islam.
