To what extent do we compromise our freedom of speech for the monster we have invited to live with us

John R,

You said: "I thought the Pope was downright irresponsible by flouting Islam."

Read his actual speech and you will find that far from this the Pope Benedict was delivering a speech about reason and religious fanaticism. Comments were dragged out of context by the media to incite this wave of violence. A lot of muslims who have not even read the Koran, let alone Benedict's speech, then flew into a rage that we are getting quite used to.

The fact of the matter is this upsurge of violence was another demonstration of power by the mullahs who hold hostage the middle east and europe and wish to impose shariah law on us all. Facts matter little to these people and there is no way one can frame ones actions to placate Islamites unless you accept second class citizenship or convert to their religion. For most of us who are not infected with Neo Marxist masochism neither of these options are acceptable.

The Pope is not guilty of expressing disdain for Islam. I however am and you even veer towards doing so yourself with the last passage of your post: "So much faith, so little logic. A puffed up, hysterical, overheated reaction that it is almost comedy." This phrase by strange coincidence is exactly what the Pope was pointing out in his address. All that this incident has highlighted is the shortness of the leash that Europe's Islamic masters hold their dhimmis on.

When a movement so political and totalitarian as the Islamic faith threatens to change the demographic and philosophical spectrum across the entire post Christian stronghold of Europe nobody it seems is entitled to examine or criticise said philosophy - it must be put on the same level as Christianity. I put it to you that the sensativity to criticism it exhibits demonstrates that it is not at all on the same level ethically. If by insinuating that a religion that converts by the sword is not a religion the Pope insults Islam then this anti-religion deserves it. The consequences of not arresting its aggressive advance into Europe will lead to much more violence than we we are seeing here today.

Criticism is perhaps the most important weapon in this struggle - we have enough tanks, guns and bombs to carry it the rest of the way if needs be. Although if the population contraction continues in Europe we may not have enough people to use said tools to excise the Islamic cancer from our lands.

It is the failure to embrace critical thought that makes Islam the enemy. We have seen political systems like it before Nazism and Stalinist Communism. It will always be rooted in the past until someone with enough sense and enough strength blasts it out of its medevil delerium. If however the end product of critical thought is the self flagellating sexually neurotic contractionary culture we have developed then perhaps the Islamics are right to reject it. I choose to believe that it is not our phenomenon of critical thought that has caused the decline of our civilisation but its perversion by our enemies both domestic and abroad. It is Georg Lucas's polymorphic perversity at work - the continuation of his attempt to construct the perfect socialist man by destroying all values and identity in the west. His followers regard the Islamic barbarian as their tool in this quest but this is a dangerous and ultimately a conceit that will cost them the freedom to pursue and promulgate their own ideas as well as the west its sovereignty.

I say if war it is to be and Islam has made this inevitable then better sooner rather than later when we do not have the capacity to fight. If Pope Benedicts words carry us closer to this inevitability then it is a good thing. If not then at least we are beginning to see more clearly the contrast between the east and the west and Islams inimicability to democracy.

Cordially,

Homefront.
