I actually saw it this morning posted by Rana...

I did see it in the past, then never again... I wonder why. I truly can't compute why people would think otherwise or be clueless about islam. I don't get it, but then again KK, you're probably right, as always, - a lot of people are just dumb

It is hard to see the difference between this level of commitment to a religion represented by one Devine deity in this case Mohammed and say Marx and Lenin, Hitler and the National Socialist party, Mia and the CCP, they all seem to end up in the same space, a theocracy of sorts with a kleptocracy running the show. The issue at hand is a group of people that say yield to our way of life, or die. Thusly, after the Muslims writ large, fired up by their leadership kill all 16+/- million Jews in the world, who’s next? The children of a Christian and Jewish Union? How about after that? mixed race? mixed ethnic unions and their off spring? They will keep going until they are either stopped or just run out of people to kill. Cambodia under Pol Pot comes to mind as a good historical reference in the 20th century. The question is when and how does this resolve itself? One wonders at the ceasefire and hostage exchange apparently under way in “Gaza” between Hamas and Israel. Is it possible the price that Hamas is paying is so great that the three Hamas leaders holed up four star hotels in Qatar, figured out they can’t spend their billions of they are with Allah, aka dead? The discussion of moral exceptionalism works if you are safe in an Ivy covered institution never knowing the working end of an assault rifle from a broom stick. But if those that think that by aligning themselves with a violent, uncompromising group of super rich thugs hiding out in hotels calling all to martyrdom is somehow their friend and aligned, well let’s see how it all plays out. Their words, we hate you. What is there left to interpret? Oh, of course how silly to forget, turn the other cheek, reason with them, negotiate, pay them off. It will get better. They will come to understand us, and we can all join hands around the world and sing the coke coca song in perfect harmony. Their words, we hate you, and we are going to kill you all. Enough said.

Why don't they tell us how they really feel?

I have to wonder if the expressed desire to convert the world to Islam is driven by hatred of unbelievers or if it is caused by the desire to plunder, rob, and steal what the Islamic world can not provide or produce.

Konstantin, if this did not come from you I would think it has to be a fake -- even though I know the content is true, it seems incredible that they would write it and disseminate it in these explicit terms. See how much I trust you? Thanks for highlighting this.

Saw this posted on X a day ago. Initial reaction was and remains - is it true and if so how representative is it of the Muslim community?

There is only one great religion where the piety contest ends in murder.

Reading this, my mind wandered to those who believe returning to Christianity will fix the divisions in Western society, specifically those who believe a secular society does not offer enough to people from faiths such as this, and that Christianity can serve as a stronger countermeasure and unifying force.

Here's why that's a waste of time, and I don't want to allow our society to fall backwards by pandering to people like this. I firmly believe in doing so, we would be basically allowing the terrorists to win.

Konstantin when I read this article I was more filled with hope than with despair, and I will explain why. “There is a thin line between love and hate.” Not by the meaning that such strong emotions which are opposites can shift rapidly from one to another, but for the meaning of my own experience of the love you can have for hate. It’s all consuming just like that of when you fall in love. Hate becomes the first thing you think about when you wake up in the morning, and the last thing you think about when go to bed at night. You eat , sleep and breath this hate. You are utterly obsessed with it and would do anything for this hate, to the point that your life would be meaningless without it. To me it is very much like love just darker and more destructive. When I finally realised I had to let go of my hate it left me feeling empty. “What do I do now without this hate? Who am I without this hate?” I had to rediscover who I was , as I was not truly myself when consumed by this hate. However, unlike love hate eats itself, it’s unsustainable and self destructive. I feel that the hate that I experienced is just the tip of the iceberg compared to the hate the Islamic faith has for the West and for all who rejects Islamic faith. The hate that I was going through nearly destroyed me, I have a feeling the Islamic hatred for the west will not fair any better. So, I believe their hate feeds there cause but its like the snake eating itself Ouroboros, unsustainable. This hate that drives their fight has not amounted to much over the hundreds of years, and it is what keeps them where they have always been; there is no growth for them. They have found away to use the “sinful” values of the Western world against us but I still don’t think it will get them very far. My grandmother would tell me, “You can believe in all the lies you want but the truth always comes out, one way or another.” The West’s greatest value is going to triumph over the Islamic hate for us and also the lies we are telling ourselves about the Islamic faith. This value we have is so simple but strong, it is growth. We desire growth, to create, and build. We have a thirst and curiosity for knowledge and truth. We strive to be more and to be better. Love is life and growth and hate is death and destruction. I have hope that the West, as broken and as weak as we think we may be, we will still triumph over this hate.

Ummm, wait; aren't those Hamas leaders living ensconced with their lattes and billions of wealth in Qatar while their people languish in poverty and are treated as human shields. Is that really what Allah wants? Hypocrites!

Sounds like a good portion of Iranians are pro Israel, America and democracy, and are even risking expressing it inside of Iran!

...and they're here in their millions. Gert Wilders in Holland, instead of being a fascists, might've very well been right all along.
