		<description>After reading these comments, I feel less guilty of having prejudice against Muslims. We meet today at book club to decide a course of action to keep Congress aware.

		<description>Yes, I have lived in a muslim world, converted inocently and married a muslim woman who told me that she was taught that, it is ok to kill all other religions so that islam will spread and it is ok to lie to save yourself and that arabic is the language in heaven. I was dumfounded as I began to learn so many other things that made me sick. I told her that my mother is a christian, that means I should kill my mother just because she is not a muslim!! She told me &quot;yes&#039;. We are divorced since then, cause I knew that I married an animal in female form.

		<description>It is sobering to think how women are devalued in the Islamic world.  The omission of a Muslim man&#039;s criminal acts against his wife, daughter, sister, mother are dauntingly staggering.  They suffer in silence without a voice. It is hard to believe this is happening in our world every moment of every day.

		<description>I have taken the liberty of modifying Churchill’s famous speech of 1899 that he made about Islam:

&quot;How dreadful are the curses which homosexuality lays on its votaries! Besides the fanatical frenzy, which is as dangerous in a man as hydrophobia in a dog, there is this fearful Darwinian fatalism. Disgusting and perverted habits, dishonesty, deceit, denial, deconstruction, disorder destabilisation and death exist wherever the followers of Stonewall rule or live. A degraded and strutting sensualism deprives this life of its grace and refinement; the next of its dignity and sanctity. The fact that in in a misogynistic society dominated by homosexuals women become worthless - and are treated merely as carriers of embryos - must delay the final extinction of slavery, bondage and addiction until homosexuality has ceased to be a great power among men.

&quot;Individual homosexuals may show splendid qualities. Some become the brave and loyal soldiers of the Queen: all know how to die of Aids. But the influence of the homosexual ideology destroys the social fabric  of those who follow it. No stronger retrograde force exists in the world. Far from being moribund, homosexuality is a militant and proselytising faith. It has already spread throughout western European civilisation, raising militants  at every step. Nothing can stop it apart from Islam - or the prayer and the mobilisation of Christians out of their middle class ghettos. But tragically this does not appear to be a viable reality.&quot;

		<description>Here is yet another book outlining what sharia law has in store for the west should Muslims get their way. I find it interesting that the west continues to expose Islam for what  it is on the one hand, yet on the other still allow this system to be practiced within our borders.

Anyone expecting to exercise their culture or religion within Islamic states is in for a surprise when they visit. And those who cry foul when others expose Islam&#039;s hatred for the west and other religions are missing the point; Islam is about control, pure and simple.

This is one book that hopefully, will not be buried by reactionary &quot;multiculturalists&quot; under the threat of Muslim violence to those who sell it. The west must know what Islam is; total submission to the clerics, mullahs, sheiks, imams and ayatollahs.

May the west prevail.
Kaffir and proud.

		<description>I have to tell you all, I&#039;m from an Arab country originally, &amp; this is an exact description of Islam.  Every day that I get up, I thank G-d I made Aliyah to Israel.

		<description>&quot;She concludes her book with practical suggestions for the West, including keeping sharia illegal, restricting immigration, and monitoring Muslim clerics on what they are preaching and teaching. And the West must rediscover and celebrate its Judeo-Christian heritage and values, and resist the inroads of secularism.&quot;

How likely is this?  Does she mean rediscover our culture (like candles and chanting) or does she mean rediscover truth?

I belong the an Australian geological society which regularly reports on its &quot;outreach&quot; arm that works with government to promote geology in the school curriculum. The geological history taught to kids denies the truth of the Bible and gives the idea that Christianity is based on a fairytale, thus setting the kids against the Christian worldview.  The secularists are continually building more and more blocks in their anti-God stronghold. 

F. Sherwood Taylor, Curator, Museum of the History of Science, Oxford said on BBC radio in 1949, ‘In England it was geology and the theory of evolution that changed us from a Christian to a pagan nation.’

		<description>But they&#039;re not really &quot;no interest loans&quot;, they&#039;re just loans structured in such a manner that the interest is hidden in the repayments. A farce really and simply dhimmitude.
