Freedom or Islamic Tyranny

The great Italian writer, the late Oriana Fallacy speaking about the hate Muslims have toward Europe said, "what logic is there in respecting those who do not respect us? What dignity is there in defending their culture or supposed culture when they show not contempt four ours?… the mosques of Turin and Rome simply overflow with terrorists or candidate terrorists who dream of blowing up our bell-towers…"Oriana Fallacy was talking about the attitude that characterizes Muslims in Europe.

Is there any difference between the Muslims in Europe and the "Islamists"? Of course not. Both groups read the Quran, defend Mohammed, believe blindly in Allah, support Osama Bin Laden, hate America and Israel, and want the Sharia be implemented all over the world.

"Islamists" are not just a marginal group of frustrated-anti-social-pathological-religious extremists who have "hijacked" a "great" religion. "Islamists" are devout Muslims who in obedience to Allah and Mohammed are employing terror as a way to achieve the will of Allah. "Islamists" are not inventing something different from what is contained in the Quran. In other words, "Islamists" are true Muslims who are putting in practice what the Quran says about fighting unbelievers, Christians, and Jews.

That is the reason why they "deploy formidable capabilities." Those capabilities are basically the teachings contained the Quran. It is ultimately the example of Mohammed that leads the way for Muslims to blow-up themselves, crash buildings with planes, beheading non-Muslims and apostates, stone women caught in adultery, chop hands and feet of thieves, burn churches and synagogues, kill people who mock Mohammed, murder poets, rape women in the open air, and claim that the whole world belong to Islam. That is the reason they are winning, because nobody wants to admit that it is the Muslim ideology/theology the root of all these evil. There is not room for the so-called "moderate" Muslims. Even "moderate" Muslims blame America and Israel for all the "suffering" of Palestinian and Muslims around the world. Just take a look at CAIR website.

Dr. Pipes mentions the word "West." The question is who represents the "West"? It is Europe? It is America by itself? Or It is Europe, America, Canada, and Australia all together the "West"? If we limit the "West" to a geographical area, then Muslims are already there. They are changing slowly our political institutions. However, if we speak in terms of values, there is only one country that represents the true values of the West, and that is America, not Europe.

Islam has already defeated Europe: Look at Italy, France, England, Belgium, Spain, Belgium, and Swedish. Europe has trashed its Judeo-Christian heritage long time ago and that spiritual emptiness is being filled with the Quran.

And the price Europe is paying for its self-hatred is huge. Yes, as Dr. Pipes says, Islam has a strong religious appeal, which is only possible when the Christian faith is rejected as already happened in Europe. The soldiers of Allah are taking Europe because Europeans have lost their moral and spiritual compass. They have faith in nothing. They are ashamed of themselves. They have not moral courage. They have betrayed their heritage and are betraying their dwindling posterity.

Only American is left alone in the world as an icon of freedom, faith, courage, and prosperity. However, the enemy within is working hard to destroy our republic based in the best Constitution that the world ever knew. Once America is defeated the rest is just a matter of time.

As the late brave and fearless Oriana Fallaci said, "the more a society is an open and democratic society, the more it is exposed to terrorism. The more a nation is free, the more it risks the massacres, which have, taken place for so many years in Italy and in the rest of Europe. And which have now reached America." She was talking about Islamic terrorism. But Oriana was not the only one to warn us about the intolerant nature of Islam.

Nazra Quraishi, a kindergarten teacher in Michigan said in July 5, 2006, which was published in the Lansing State Journal, "Islam is not only a religion, it is a complete way of life. Islam guides Muslim from birth to grave. The Quran and prophet Muhammad's words and practical application of Quran in life cannot be changed…it is forbidden in Islam to convert to another religion. The penalty is death. There is not disagreement about it…please do not ask us Muslims to pick some rules and disregard other rules. Muslims are supposed to embrace Islam in its totality."

Pick your side, freedom or Islamic tyranny.
