Reality Bites
This not really news to most. A Muslim says that we will be attacked.
Osama bin Laden’s deputy warned Wednesday that America faces not individual terrorists or groups but an international community of Muslims that seek to destroy it and its allies. He was delivering a 28-minute videotaped eulogy to slain al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden.
The rest of the article is a sort of rant.
Here’s the thing. If we are to face this threat where should we start? Mind you I have no inside info, but we do have a starting point.
The survey found a strong correlation between the presence of severe violence-promoting literature and mosques featuring written, audio, and video materials that actually promoted such acts. By promotion of jihad, the study included literature encouraging worshipers to engage in terrorist activity, to provide financial support to jihadists, and to promote the establishment of a caliphate in the United States,
This may well be the time when freedom of religion bites us on the ass. Folks I simply don’t know where to draw the line. The article linked above has merit, but still I dunno where the line really is. That Sharia law is creeping in our direction is a simple fact. If you need further citations I will try to provide.
Okay… It’s hard also to divorce what this current regime here is doing, but I’ll stick to ‘what is’ rather than ‘what might be’. We have a real threat folks.
Added: My opinion is NOT the opinion of the staff and management of TAH.

#1 – We CANNOT restrict the rights and freedoms of thought, religion, or speech. And neither can the other side. What is good for thee, is just as good for me.
#2 – We CAN restrict ACTIONS that infringe upon other’s rights (see #1 above) such as the attempted imposition of Sharia and Dihmmi (I refuse to call them “laws”), with as much escalating force as is necessary until the threat is stopped.
So be prepared, however you think you might have to be. And when the freedom of the religion of “peace” (koff) tries to bite you on the ass, bite back . . and HARD.
Anyone who thinks that Islam is not a threat to our ways of lives, both today and into the future has their head in the dark.
Zero? that second link is dead…just sayin
Melony #3: Thanks. I fixed it.
Here is a start: ANY church, mosque or synagogue that engages in ANY form of political action, whether arguing for or against any specific law or program, or encouraging acts of violence of lawlessness, loses ALL of their non-profit status, all donations become taxable (on both sides of the donation), etc.
Tim, that would cut the Catholic church, and pretty much every church in America. We kind of need to have an honest and open discussion about what is being said in places of worship. The lines are fuzzy, so “Official” action would be tied up in court for years thanks to the ACLU (which I’m pretty sure is trying to destroy America). But there is nothing that says public officials can not have out reach programs, to the moderates, and to talk about the need to reform Islam, without which it WILL make it impossible for the West to peacefully co-exist.
