That's one thing. See any of the things I listed. Madness. He bowed to the king of Saudi Arabia (home of the batshit crazy Wahhabi flavour of Islam) like a servant - the leader of the free world bows down to Islam. I'll let Pat Condell elaborate further, because he does it so well:
Check it on YouTube, sources to everything he says is in the description of the video.
Appealing to a madman's delusions of grandeur is one of the most intelligent things you can do.
What do you think was going through his head when he did that?
"I'm mother. f***ing. Obama."
That's what.
On a more serious note, I don't indulge short bullet-pointed lists like that when it comes to forming an opinion. It lacks a crucial element that every important piece of information needs: context. Without context it could be used to convey any meaning. Anyone's reluctance to provide context on their source material should be suspect. He also uses a diverse number of publications for his sources, a fair number of which are relatively obscure. I don't know about you, but I can't say I've ever woken up in the morning and gotten my news from The Daily Beast, or Newsmax. Gate Stone Institute is particularly suspect since it seems to claim that it reports news that the mainstream media is too blundering and incapable to do right, which usually in reality means that they care a little too strongly about certain issues and want other people to join them in their fanaticism. In other words, tell everyone that the big bad muslims are
building a Mosque at Ground Zero so they'll join in with your cause. You can never be certain of what obligations to truth these sources have.
You are wrong. Islam does not wish to adopt to your culture, it is either Islam's way or the high way. History has shown this with tons of Jihads going to places such as India, killing anyone who doesn't convert to Islam. Convert to Islam, serve Islam in dhimmitude or death; that is the ultimate goal for the world according to the Quran.
A recent example; in Syria the rebels spend their free time killing Christians and burning churches when they are not fighting the government. The biggest problem is Saudi Arabia; as I mention it is home to the most batshit crazy form of Islam with its hateful clergy which has made it a place where you get executed for witchcraft and women who get raped are likewise executed for "illegal sex". And raped they are, because women who show as much as any bit of flesh or hair send the Saudi men into a raping frenzy. Why? Because they are thought that any women who doesn't wear a friggin' tent all day is a whore asking for it.
Saudi money is financing lots of groups in our countries which abuses the spinelessness of our dhimmi politicians to integrate Islam more and more into our society. In the UK you have people like Andy Chaudry (or whatever he calls himself now) who show the true face of Islamic integration in the Western world.
You can put your fingers in your ears and say that it is all OK and exchange of culture is a beautiful thing if you wish, but this is how it is. Islam is a cancer to the world. At least Christianity has some positive aspects as well as having moved on from the dark ages. Countries living under Islamic rule are very much living there still.
See, that's a lovely 4 paragraphs and all, but I already said that I agree with you on the general idea that Islam as a religion (or at least certain behaviors in Islamic culture) are incongruent with western culture.
Hate on Obama. Why? Because he did too much reaching out to an insane religion that doesn't fit in the framework of western civilization? Yeah, that's not terrific, but disliking him as a whole because of it? He's done a fantastic job of doing his job exactly the way he promised. He is also FAR from being a wuss. His first month in office Amer.......
My main point that I was making was really a response to what you said. I know how you feel about Islam and I sympathize to a degree, but I don't think that Muslims will displace and destroy everything I live for. I think it'll be the other way around.
Look at modern Christianity and Judaism in the USA and Europe. "Devout" believers are becoming less and less frequent. There's a great increase in agnosticism and atheism. I think we've already proven that radical and violent theocratic cultures don't survive for generations when you introduce their kids to fast-food chains and video games.
Last thing, on the note of republicans (which ties into what I just said). There's a wide spectrum of Republicans these days in the US. They either regurgitate everything they see on Fox News or they're free market capitalist libertarians. Their views on just about any issue can be different. If a view is shared, it may not be for religious reasons on both sides. Yes, a lot of them are idiots, but it's not always the case.
