"I wouldn't want to create the impression that I wouldn't like the government of the United States to be Islamic sometime in the future...But I'm not going to do anything violent to promote that. I'm going to do it through education." - Ibrahim Hooper CAIR Spokesman.
"Those who stay in America should be open to society without melting, keeping Mosques open so anyone can come and learn about Islam. If you choose to live here, you have a responsibility to deliver the message of Islam ... Islam isn't in America to be equal to any other faiths, but to become dominant. The Koran, the Muslim book of scripture, should be the highest authority in America, and Islam the only accepted religion on Earth." - Omar Ahmad Co-founder of the Council on American-Islamic Relations "

YES!! Someone has the chutzpah to let us know what the true agenda of Islam is and always has been. We are dealing with a socio-political movement that hates our way of life and desires to make America conform to Sharia - as in Dearborn and elsewhere. We are faced today with alien ideologies and lifestyles that are neutral or hostile to our historic Christian culture. America has become a hodge-podge of competing agendas and -isms and is fast losing its identity and its past. Fifty years from now we won't recognize it.
We are now weak and vulnerable because we are multi-maniacs that have no center, no orientation. American secular culture is a monstrosity of grotesque immorality, pervasive morbidity and Marxist humanism. If God's Word is true, and it is, we have little time left before serious decline and insipient conquest sets in.
Islam is a false religion, violent, legalistic and implacable. Unlike Buddhism, Hinduism or Judaism, Islam is highly militant, and has a built-in mission to subvert and take over entire nations and societies. We just open our doors so that anyone who wishes can just waltz right in to join the left-wing humanists in their feeding frenzy of anti-Christian subterfuge.
Without God and His Word we have become silly, naive and morally effete. Only our money and our military keeps us afloat; morally and spiritually we are nearly bankrupt. This cozying up to Islam by the liberal media is patently absurd, and shows just how much it has lost touch with reality while hiding under the covers of its bleeding heart naiveté as the nation is plunged into indecision, political inertia and military retreatism.
Perhaps we will see the handwriting on the wall before it’s too late – but as I recall, the handwriting was a prophecy of the unavoidable doom to come – not a warning. And, like Belshazzar,we profane that which is holy, all the while partying ourselves into oblivion. If we retreat into liberal feelgoodaboutourselvesland we may well lose, by the outward enemy, the blessings that God has bestowed upon us as Christian people; or we may just morally and spiritually implode from within. If 9/11 instructs us today it is that we are under concerted attack by a determined and ruthless enemy that will stop at nothing to rule the world – as the quotation by Omar Ahmad, and historic Islam, clearly teaches.

As I re-read the above entry this morning, I realize that someone might infer from my words that I dislike Muslims - i.e. ordinary trying-make-a-life people who are devoted to their faith, who are not plotting murderous mass events. This is NOT the case.
However, I strongly disagree with the religion as a theological or faith system and decry its spread in our nation, in Europe and round the world. And I do despise the murderous machinations of the extremist elements in particular, and believe there is a root of motivation for their actions that stems from the very soil of a religion that was born of conquest, though it achieved many admirable things in its centuries of ascendancy. But that fact does not in any way justify or authenticate its theological heterodoxy. It is quite possible to love the people and have a negative appaisal of thier theological system.
