Hello, Sam,

You must be living on some other planet.

Islam has always meant Konquer, Konvert, Kill the dirty Kaffir. The Prophet , Holy, if you please, commands, " Fighting is prescribed for you." Koran 2:216; ... " Slay them [the unbelievers] wherever you find them" Koran 9:36

Christians - like some of my relatives of Byzantium, from Constantinople - have been running for their lives for centuries, from the horrors inflicted by Islam when Muslims conquered by the sword all the formerly Christian lands . (The Crusades belatedly, several centuries too late, tried to liberate those originally Christian countries.) Read Victor Hugo's Les Orientales, about t Turkish vengeance with Christian heads hanging from buildings of Constantinople. Read about the continued pograms conducted in Constantinople by the Turks and their government against Christians - most recently in 1955, thoroughly documented in MECHANISM OF CATASTROPHE. by Dr. Speros VRYONIS.

N.B., it is no accident that the Muslim vocabulary has one thousand synonyms for the word sword.

C'mon, Sam. Get with the program. Get real.
