trying to fight fascists with understanding and compassion will lead to a world without these values..

I am an engineer who works with many muslims. Also my wife was raised to be a muslim in Malaysia. Fortunately, my wife doesn't practice Islam because her father married a second wife leaving her mother and herself with little property. I was raised American-Catholic and for the most part secular.

After 15 years of observing, tolerating, and trying to sympathize with the muslims I am fed up.

The articles on Daniel Pipe's website are not exaggerations... His articles are an accurate portrayal of the Islamic people. Over 15 years I have seen this type of muslim behavior occur over and over. When a muslim realizes that they are not in power they immediately start talking like a humanist liberal but once they are in control their is no compromise. I am sensing that liberal westerners in America and Europe are starting to realize that giving these people even a little bit of power is a huge mistake.

Its time that we stop the nonsense of these people. Liberalism is great during peacetime and we should cherish our liberal heritage but trying to fight fascists with understanding and compassion will lead to a world without these values..
