  Muslims should not be allowed to move to Europe. We need to stop this “political correctness” and have the guts to point out the enemy.

  Europe needs a strong leader to open people eyes. If Europeans are leaving their country for fear of Muslims and if this trend keeps up, what will happen?

  I’ve already been warned not to visit England for that reason. I hope something is done soon.

  Does anyone still believe that speculation, usery, and all political correctness aren’t all part of the same marxist movement? Does anyone still think multiculturalism is a good thing? Does anyone even still care?

• 3. Alabaster Crippens  |  March 6, 2007 at 3:32 am

  Erm. So the article you link to actually says that foreigners are six times more likely to be rapists than natives. The only implication of Muslims is that out of sixteen cases in two months, three muslims are suspected by the police.
  The statistics given in that article don’t reflect a massive amount of Muslim rapists. Assuming that the Muslim community in Oslo is quite small, then it may be disproportionate…but without more details it’s impossible to leap to wild conclusions.

  Jason—every nation’s people must decide for themselves what they will accept or not. That is the bottom line. If Europeans want their history and culture to fade into history, that is for them to decide really. And, unless people are going to start advocating a Crusade to liberate Europe, that is likely what will happen, given current population and migration trends.

  Europeans and other nations bring it on themselves by allowing unrestrained immigration, and then by the lifestyles they advocate. As ‘The Rape of Europe’ article mentions, Europeans, and Americans and others whose people wait longer and longer to have children and have far fewer than what historically were the norms, will face this gradual loss of culture and civilization.

  Jason Roark—I still think multiculturalism can be a good thing. I just think it has been implemented about as badly as can be done in most developed countries. It is not so much the wave of immigrants that are driving Europeans from their countries, but their culture and religion.

  Those are distinctly different from the issue of numbers and color. Let me suggest the following for a moment. Suppose you had a nation of 10,000,000 people, and they were of many races and many different homelands…but they all migrated to some new place…let us say Antarctica for example…and all agreed to live by the same rules, share the same language and believed in the same values, what would be wrong with that?

  More importantly, what would be the biggest divides that could crack people apart? Largely it would be wealth, social class, religion, and personal views. Even in a completely homogenous society, do you think those considerations will ever eliminate themselves or go away? It is highly doubtful.

  Alabaster Crippens—the implication is that four out of sixteen rape cases (25% of them) in the city in just the past two months are by Muslims…that only three men are sought would seem to mean one or more committed more than one rape.

  That foreigners represent only 23% of the population and account for 65% of the rapes, those are pretty eye-opening statistics by any account.

  Granted, the article used the headline for attention, which is why I did the same thing with my own headline—a sort of transference of the vibe if you will.

  Still, what it means is that if you had 100 rape cases, you would expect 77% of them to be committed by native Norwegians if rapists were evenly distributed throughout the population. However, 25% or 25 of 100 rapists would actually be Muslims if we were to go just off the first two months of this year. 65 of the 100 rapists would be foreigners in any event.

  But as foreigners are only 23% of the population, real statistics suggest that Muslims are indeed over-represented by the number of rapes they are committing. And no one claimed there was a massive amount of Muslim rapists, only that for the amount of rapes occurring, that Muslims are committing a disproportionately high number of them in Oslo. That remains the statistic of concern.

  The Rape of Europe article of course is not accusing Muslims of raping Europe, but suggests that Europeans laying down in respect to the issue of whether or not to stem the Islamification of Europe is like the opinion of a woman that author Henryk M. Border (quoted in the article) mentions. She suggested it is better to let yourself be raped than fight back and risk injury or death.

  Border was making the point that Europeans are afraid to stand up to Muslim immigrants and say “no, we don’t want any more of you” or to slow the rate of immigration.

  In any case, if more and more Europeans flee Europe and it soon becomes entirely Muslim, then I suppose such statistics as these won’t matter.

  Thanks to all three of you for stopping by to comment.

  I just think it is innappropriate for you to equate the word muslim with foreigner. Even the 25% figure does not make Muslims 6 times more likely to be rapists (also two months is a tiny statistical sampling which would be regarded as irrelevant by any statistician).
  At Brussels journal they use the figure as their headline, but they use the correct details of the figure…that is that it refers to foreigners. Not all foreigners are Muslims. It is still a concern that there is a higher proportion than expected, but I’d like to see more detailed statistics before you start denouncing the community.

• 6. Sean Wilson  |  March 6, 2007 at 11:27 am

  Alabaster, I think you’re missing a few important points, so I’ll try to elaborate.

  First, I’m not equating the word Muslim to foreigner at all—the article on Brussels Journal does, if anything. And actually, no, Muslims are not six times more likely to be rapists. However—in Oslo, Norway, rapists are six times more likely to be Muslim than native Norwegian.

  Those are the statistics, whether you like them or not. I did not make them up.

  Secondly, you are ignoring the data of the larger study and focusing on the comment about the recent two months. That’s all that accounts for—the two recent months. The statistics used for the study are from over a much longer period of time, however.

  Thirdly, I”m not sure what you are referring to about the Brussels Journal headline. Their headline for the article is:

  “Oslo Muslims Six Times More Likely to Rape”

  However, I understand my wording may have confused the issue in the original post, even though it is correct. I will change it so that the wording is clearer.

  Lastly, I’m not denouncing the Muslim community. I am pointing out a statistic and articles that accompany those statistics. I do point to an issue of concern for many people, which is the decreasing native European population and the increasing Muslim population in Europe.

  I understand that for many people, merely addressing a topic is deemed to be racist or bigoted or any other number of things. Regardless of whether some people like the issue or want to discuss it, it remains an issue of concern for many people.

  Too many in the Muslim community try to hide statistics and quell open questioning and debate about Islam, its followers, and the impact it and they have on countries to which they emigrate. Then they turn around and try to implement Sharia courts and other such nonsense in non-Muslim countries (as they have been trying to do in Canada and other members of the UK) or expect special treatment and favoritism for practices they want to bring from their former homelands.

  And Sharia law is nonsense in a democracy or a developed nation, in my opinion. In any case, I am not denouncing the Muslim community, but rather, I am encouraging people to take a look at statistics and points of concern and to discuss the issues. How is that denouncing anything?

• 7. Alabaster Crippens  |  March 6, 2007 at 4:26 pm

  OK, so you are right, I ddin’t look at the headline (ignore the bigger type..that’s odd) and just the body of the text. It remains unclear which they mean. It appears however that the six times figure is referring to foreigners (immigrants) rather than Muslims, I say this because the figure of 23% of the population being foreigners ties into that. It is indeed the Journal’s misinterpretation, but it shouldn’t be perpetuated. I do also appreciate the difference between being more likely to rape and rapists being more like to. It was simply the confusion that bothered me.

  I do think that issues of concern should be raised. I myself have no problem with the idea that Muslim populations are rising, as I don’t equate Islam with the negative impressions that so many seem to have. This is based entirely on my own encounters with Muslims, who have all been reasonable and quite wonderful people.

  I think that minority communities are often not fully integrated (whatever that means), and this can cause poverty and rises in crime levels. This is a problem many communities have to deal with and is fuelled by racism and bigotry in said communities. I have often heard it said (possibly without foundation) that a lot of the Scandinavian countries are unwelcoming to outsiders, and I think this may well be a factor. Also, from trying to find out some statistics about Oslo, I learnt that Oslo and Norway have received, over the years, the highest proportion of immigrants from Iraq. Whether this is relevant or not I do not know, but I thought it was interesting.

  I am not trying to prevent debate…but I do think clarity and sensitivity is required in these things.

• 8. Sean Wilson  |  March 6, 2007 at 5:19 pm

  Alabaster, you are correct that the statistic points to foreigners. I agree that I don’t want to perpetuate inaccuracies either. However, Muslims do qualify as foreigners in this case—but you are right that they are not ALL the foreigners.

  It is not my intent to suggest that all of them were Muslim either. My heading in bold that states ‘Six Times More Likely To Rape’ is taken directly from the Brussels Journal headline and is meant to highlight the content to follow by drawing attention in a dramatic fashion.

  I DO want to make sure that what I write gets read, and if the relevant posts on another site require reading to clarify, I want to make sure people find it inviting, engaging, or infuriating enough to go take a look. I’m the first to admit that I try to keep an element of drama in titles and taglines, but when one is competing with 54,999,999 other blogs it is perhaps necessary.

  I certainly don’t have a problem with Islam, and have stated as much elsewhere in the blog, just so you know. I do have a problem with radical Islam though, and those who espouse it. But hey, I also have problems with many Republicans, Democrats, and socialists. None of us are perfect, certainly not me.

  I myself have met many wonderful Muslims, and when I wasn’t sucking sand in the desert doing my job, I enjoyed most of them I met in my brief time in Saudi Arabia and Iraq. As to Scandinavian countries being friendly to outsiders, I could not say personally as I have not yet been. However, of my friends who have, all have had nothing but wonderful things to say about the welcome they received. That doesn’t mean anything either of course, just that I know people who had a good time there, lol.

  As to discussing the issues with sensitivity, you are absolutely correct that it should be done that way. However, it often isn’t because the topic gets quashed by the ‘politically correct police’ it seems. It has been my experience that any discussion of issues in a way that even intimates that immigrants might not be a good thing for America or Europe is instantly decried as racist and bigoted.

  And, I know sometimes I even go overboard and latch onto a topic like a pitbull. It is my nature when I am passionate about a topic. It takes readers like you sometimes to bring me back into the realm of sensibility and calm discussion, as I admit to writing from passion of the moment most of the time.

  (It might be days before I calmed down from some news to write dispassionately about a thing, and I can’t afford such long waits if I am to grow my blog!)

  Now, I would be interested in your take on the general topic. What are your thoughts on the number of emigrants from Germany and The Netherlands being higher than the number of immigrants to those countries, for example? Also, do you think Muslim immigrants are right or wrong to expect countries they move into to make special concessions for their religious beliefs…such as censoring the press because something might offend Muslims?

  My own thought is that if you don’t like the way a country’s people live, act, think, and do then maybe one should not move there. I personally think diversity can be a strength for a society, but I also think that the bonds that form a free society should not be sacrificed to religious biases.

  Thanks for commenting, and for keeping me on my toes. Every blogger needs good readers who make sure that they don’t drift off into sensationalism just for the sake of sensationalism.

  Have a great day!

• 9. Alabaster Crippens  |  March 7, 2007 at 9:54 am

  Censorship = Bad
  Whatever the situation I pretty much stand by that…even in a recent heated debate I said that despite any moral convictions I may have about something being entirely reprehensible, I still think it should not be made unpublishable…there’s just no line you can draw that seems right.

  People have to use their own discretion as regards to things. If someone is going to be offended by something, then they should know not to seek it out. They can write letters of complaint and express their opinion in public forums, but they can’t get things banned on the basis of religious belief. (I mostly have this argument with feminists wanting to ban objectifying portrayals of women, or, more convincingly, things like the RapePlay computer game, which is pretty self explanatory. Even though I think this is horrific, I cannot advocate it’s banning. I mention it to show that I’m not being anti-religionist.)

  Anyway, I think that it’s fine for women to wear veils (though I don’t think they should be forced to…it should be a matter of personal belief, of course). And other things, but anything the law of the land, as created by ‘the people’ and given authority only through that, should be enforced. I also think it should be challenged as a lot of it is wrong, but there should be no exceptions to a law that has the support of its people (via it’s democratic institutions) etc etc..

  As for immigration/emmigration. I personally oppose national borders…which may be a fairly anarchic statement (and we probably don’t live in a society where it would work that effieciently) but I think that people should be free to move and live where they will. Idealism, I know (it’s my forte) but it’s what I think.
  I don’t know the reasons why people are leaving Germany and the Netherlands, but presumably if the government is worried about then they’ll do something to keep it’s population, if not, it won’t. I can’t really comprehend.
  I do know that I get wound up by the amount of crap that gets talked about immigration into Britain (my home). Our economy lives only because of immigrant labour, and I think our culture benefits greatly from it as well. There are problems, and there are integration difficulties, but I think that these are obstacles that will be overcome if people are willing to drop prejudiced attitudes (from all parts of communities) and accept differences as being the wonderful thing that they are.

• 10. jason roark  |  March 7, 2007 at 4:56 pm

  Some people are so brainwashed that their survival instinct has been completely removed. Muslims are known world wide for there rape and brutality toward women and children. If all Muslim lands are mostly primitive and poor, except of course for the super rich rulers, you think, maybe, its time to get a clue? I guess I have too much respect for women to sanction that type of culture mixing with mine. If any one out there thinks I’m wrong I guess they should ask all the Europeans moving to the Middle East. Thanks for your time.

• 11. Granger  |  April 24, 2007 at 4:28 pm

  The general view seems to be Muslims are quintessentially prone to violence and chaos. I guess this is mostly true -> The only exception is Dubai; That fact in itself makes the claim more intriguing. Amongst ALL the muslim nations of the world, there is only ONE light that shines above the rest!!

  In India, (which harbors the highest population of muslims in the world), the most backward and troublesome areas are muslim pockets. All muslim majority sectors have one thing in common : They’re all plagued by some communal fracture at one point or other in their civic history. People may claim that it’s possible because in a Majority Hindu nation, Muslims will always feel insecure. And why not? Hindu’s and Muslims have been at loggerheads for centuries.

  There again we come back to the original question : Why are Hindus so circumspect of Muslims specifically? They live sybiotically with ALL other major and minor religions - CHristians, Zoarastrians, Parsis, Buddhists and Jains!!! For centuries all these faiths have existed in Harmony!! EXCEPT Muslims !!!

  Perhaps there is a trend across Continents!!!
  I won’t go so far as to assume Muslims have a giant conspiracy to achieve their “Nation of Islam” via these continuous and consistency oddities!! However, their belligerence towards other faiths and innane backwardness (perhaps forcefully deliberate) to merge their concept of “development” by archaic and ancient teachings (Sharia - Something Muslim hardliners feel should spread worldwide) is itself a melting pot of catastrophe.

  BTW : Take notice of another trend - In Nations where muslims are in minority but are congregated in large numbers in a localised territory - you’ll usually find trouble - in the form of either a less dangerous “plebicite” or low intensity guerilla warfare.

  Kashmir (India), Patani (Thailand ) Xinjiang (China), (Mindanao) Philipines, Aceh (Indonesia) - wierd as the nation is more or less muslim I could go on and on!!!

• 12. honestpoet  |  April 27, 2007 at 10:17 pm

  Personally, I think all religion sucks, but Islam more than others. At least the tenants of most of them encourage people to get along with each other. Not so with Islam, and the various whacked communities of Muslims show it. The incidences of violence against women, pedophilia, and violent religious intolerance are atrocious and undeniable.

  I’m not saying all Muslims are monsters. But Islam is a monster, and it creates some monstrous men, and it ought to be slain.

• 13. the-proud-Muslim  |  July 17, 2007 at 6:39 pm

  Im here to clear things up, first of All, when you say “Muslims”, you are talking about 1.2 billion people on this planet, OK?? you get it, you really need to clear things up by saying that. Let me give you an example, Like I said “Christians are that and this”, what im saying, so you get my point. Same as that, when you say MUSLIMS, it concerns every Muslim around the world. If you want to pin point some few people who did something, find their names or what they are, but DO NOT ASSOCIATE WHAT THEY DID WITH “MUSLIMS”.

  Secondly, ” honestpoet”, this person saying Islam is worse than any other religion, WHAT IS YOUR PROOF FOR YOUR CLAIM, see this is what happens always when a person is ignorant about Something, they stereotype. I don’t want to give more attention to him/her because what they saying is what they heard from propaganda media, the media spoon feeds those people who accuse Islam every little thing happen. Learn Islam first then talk Sir, DO NOT LEARN WHAT THE MUSLIMS DO.

  If you have any question about Islam please send me email…thanks

• 14. hassan  |  September 14, 2007 at 5:39 pm

  i agree with everything you said the-proud-muslim, what right have you got to dis islam who r u? go on who r ya? i’l tel ya wat u r, ur sum1 who doesnt understand the meaning or importance of a ‘religion’ for muslims its the reason to live, worshiping allah, ”Personally, I think all religion sucks” Okay then your a non beliver in religions that still does not give you the right to call islam a monster, yes there are some extremists out their who take things to the next level, and im agianst them. But that doesnt mean that every follower of islam is a monster.
  All you do is belive in what you read, i guess you dont even know the meaning of islam.
  ”whacked communities of Muslims” the only wacked person i can see here is you. Its very easy for you to sit at home and post a comment against islam, but so dificult for you to even ryt your name. You think that all religions suck, no thats just your insecurity and desperatness talking, thats why you diss islam you want to belong to a community, and religion aswell. You feel happy and content with your self when you dis muslims, if you dont have a religion then why should others preach theirs? And next time ”honest poet” think twice and try to get the facts first before you slate islam again.

  Wake up Europe. Listen to Sir Winston Churchill:

  “Individual Moslems may show splendid qualities, but the influence of the religion paralyzes the social development of those who follow it. No stronger retrograde force exists in the world. Far from being moribund, Mohammedanism is a militant and proselytizing faith. It has already spread throughout Central Africa, raising fearless warriors at every step.” — Sir Winston Churchill - circa 1899

• 16. Zak  |  November 28, 2007 at 8:14 am

  I think most of you have lost it… and are simply racist!!! Most of Europe is being stuffed by Chinese, Japanese, Polish, and Asians. But the fact of the matter is that this ant being looked at. 800,000 girls in the between the age of 16 to 50 get raped every year in England and 1 out of 10 of every girl has been sexually abuses, even though England is the one country with the most no. of CCTV cameras. 700 girls get raped in Pakistan per year, a place stuffed with Muslims. A max of 10 girls get raped in Dubai per year another place stuffed with Muslims. I’ve hardly heard of any girl getting raped in Saudi Arabia, and I’ve live there for 3 years. Non of these countries have CCTV cameras.

  Stop abusing the religion. Abuse the person. If some of the rapists were Muslims others were Christians and Jews

  THINK!!!

• 17. Sean Wilson  |  November 29, 2007 at 2:25 pm

  Zak, thanks for dropping by to read and comment. I would like to point out that if someone has a problem with Muslims, that is not a racist issue at all, since Islam is a religion. Now, as to the number of rapes in England, you have exaggerated the number in a most outrageous manner.

  In 2004/2005, there were 12,867 rapes of women reported in England. This happened to be a 4% increase from the previous two years, but I cannot imagine that it jumped more than 780,000 incidents in the two years since.

  Since there are around 30.2 million women in the UK in 2005, 800,000 rapes per year would mean every woman in the UK would be raped in just over 37 years (perhaps a handful would not be if you were to take into account population increases).

  Now, bad statistics aside, perhaps you ought to ask yourself why there are fewer rapes in Muslim countries by Muslims. Well, one well known reason (and reported by many NGO’s) is that the majority of rapes go unreported…especially since the victim is often blamed and then stoned to death. Is that the virtue of Muslim nations you mean to hold up for the world to marvel at?

  Another reason is that it would suggest that the higher incidence of rapes by Muslims when in non-Muslim nations is the result of a lack of respect for women who are not Muslim, and a greater lack of respect for the laws and morals and values of those nations in which rapes by Muslims are committed.

  Otherwise, the amount of rapes compared to the percentage of immigrant Muslim populations ought to be the same as when weighed against similar populations in Muslim nations. That basically is the same things as there being few rapes in the homeland of the ancient Vikings by Vikings. Yet, when they went to other places, they did not feel the need to be as nice to the native population. History has more than enough examples for you to examine in the same light.

  Hassan–you said in response to one poster, “All you do is belive in what you read, i guess you dont even know the meaning of islam.” Uhm….isn’t that largely what Muslims, Christians, Jews and every religion that has a holy book basically does–read something and believe it? If someone grew up reading some other book and it was taught as being true, the odds are that most people would naturally tend to look favorably on that belief and be more likely to adhere to the beliefs of the society they were brought up in rather than seek out other possible truths or ideas.

  Thanks for the opinions and ideas all.

• 18. Weeping Exile  |  December 16, 2007 at 7:07 pm

  As someone of European heritage living in one of the ‘colonies’, it breaks my heart to see what is happening in Europe.

  My cultural homeland is falling apart, due to cultural capitulation to Islam.

  I bear no ill will to Muslims, but Islam is malignant.

  A religion founded by a warrior, who consumated a marriage with a 9-year-old, who raided trade caravans, and advocated the slaughter of opponents (see ‘verse of the sword’ in the koran), has no place in our world.

  Islam does not just need to be resisted - it needs to be extinguished.

• 19. Xenia Sanjay Williams  |  January 20, 2008 at 1:02 am

  Weeping exile…you are, quite simply, pathetic. You claim to bear no ill will to muslims and then ramble on about how horrible their religion is.

  And for the record, the prophet Muhammad was no a warrior; he was a trader who was forced to fight when the people of Mecca became determined to kill him and his followers because they r efused to worship the main religion of the area.

• 20. Michael Alan Miller &raqu&hellip  |  February 21, 2008 at 6:36 am

  [...] post just glosses over the fact that, yes, massive Muslim riots in Paris truly did occur, and most rapes in Oslo are committed by Muslim immigrants. I could go on, and I don’t mean to specifically demonize [...]

• 21. Abid  |  April 17, 2008 at 7:47 am

  Please people open your mind.The Statistics most of you are using in your answers are not from you but they are from some government department or a private tv channel.Actually we are telling each other what we hear from the tv channels or govenrment agencies but do we stop and think whether these organisations are publishing unbiased statistics or are they publishing something which is biased against a particular community.Islamophobia or islam hatred is very old and can be traced back till the advent of islam.The pioneers of this islamophobia were jews who made sure that this disease should spread around the world and that is what happened .The hatred for islam is rising day by day,i accept that certain Muslim individuals or groups have done bad acts in the past and are doing in the present but that doesnot mean you start abusing the whole religion itself just because some of its members are not follwing its teachings properly.It is very Devilish to abuse a religion just because of the activities of some groups or individuals.If this is the way to do it which is again very devilish then i can also say that Christianity is religion of black sheeps.

  1.Rasputin(Christian) Responsible for the downfall of the Russian Empire and also responsible for the deaths of thousands of russian soliders during the war.

  2.Adolf Hitler(Christian) Responsible for the brutal genocide of 10 million jews in Germany.

  3.George W Bush(Christian) Responsible for killing millions of Innocent Muslim Women,Men and Children in Afghanistan,Iraq just to rob these countries of their natural resources on the pretext of fighting with Al-Qaida.Staging the 9/11 attacks on the World trade center with the help of CIA and killing atleast 3000 innocent people.

  USA (A country with a vast Christian Majority) Maximum number of rapes in the world.A country whose government is run by christian people,has attacked and wounded many muslim countries without a just cause.A country whose Soliders (All Christians) have raped innocent young girls in Iraq and Afghanistan and have have also raped their female coulleagues. A country whose Millitary interrogaters(All Christian) have tortured prisoners worst than animals in Guantanamo Bay and many have been found Guilty.

  CIA (Run by American Christians) It has destabilised many countries throughout the world and has killed millions innocent people worldwide and supplies wepons to many countries in order to fuel wars and to destablise nations.An organisation which is the biggest drug lord of the world and is responsible for transporting opium,hash,cocaine from the countries where it is produced, to all of the Europe and AmericaThis fact has been given by many Amercan Researchers.

  UK (Primarily A Christian Country) A country whose Royal Family Bestows gifts and rewards to those People who have cheated Muslims and have openly abused Islam.Eg Salman Rushdie.

  Norway(A Christain Country) A country where Newspaper editors have so much guts that they have openly published anti Islamic Cartoons on the pretext of Freedom of Expression.

  Now be rational and think for a while , If i start using the corporate media to bombard the people with this Anti-Christian Information what do you think will the world love the Christians or will the they hate Christians.In the Same way some Notorious Government And Corporate Organisations are defaming Islam by publish Anti Islam Information on all forms of media so that people like you are convinced that Islam is an Extermist Religion.i am Sorry if i have hurt the feelings of anybody.In the end i would like to say that Please respect all religions and show tolerance towards them.There is not a single religion in the world which teaches extremism.

• 22. Sean Wilson  |  April 18, 2008 at 5:42 pm

  Abid, personally, I dislike all religions. I think Islam, Judaism, Christianity, Catholicism and all the myriad other religions are a bane to freedoms and liberties of all people. They are ancient and primitive social tools designed to instill fear in people and allow them to be manipulated by greedy, power-hungry, and selfish people.

  I’m all for spirituality, and believe in the divine myself. I just don’t think any god of any sort has ever bothered to write any book, dictate one to anyone, nor told anyone to collect tithes and taxes on his/her/its behalf…nor to rape, murder and wage war in their name either.

  And I have to disagree with you that it is devilish to state harsh things against a religion because its followers commit atrocious and heinous crimes in the name of their faith. It is perfectly acceptable to do so. If Muslims truly believe that violence and killing innocents is wrong, then Muslims need to be ridding the world of those who pervert their faith—it shouldn’t be up to the rest of us. Those Muslims who make excuse for terrorists hiding behind Islam are just the same as those terrorists in my book.

  You don’t see me making excuses for Christians or Jews, do you? I think their faiths are responsible for as much slavery, rape, murder, destruction of resources and nations as any other faith.

  The majority of the world’s problems stem from the fact that Christianity, Judaism, and Islam (and various other smaller sects/denominations) all believe in some Jewish sky-god.

  Thanks for dropping by to share your comments.
