Islamic Dominance of the West vs Founders' Quote 12/19/1776

The Patriot Post Founders' Quote Daily "It is the madness of folly, to expect mercy from those who have refused to do justice; and even mercy, where conquest is the object, is only a trick of war; the cunning of the fox is as murderous as the violence of the wolf." -- Thomas Paine (The American Crisis, No. 1, 19 December 1776) Reference: Thomas Paine: Collected Writings , Foner ed., Library of America (97) _____________________ Should we in our present circumstances appreciate the folly of "friendship with those who desire our death and the death of our civilization, our freedoms, our way of life? This Christmas, allow me to recommend a book by Paul Sperry - Infiltration, How Muslim Spies and Subversives have penetrated Washington. In Chapter 3, From the White House to the Big House, Sperry reviews and has quotations from leading "crypto-Islamists" regarding their "secret agenda of Islamizing America while making it harder for authorities to investigate the bad guys." (pg.19) From Sami Al-Arian (tenured Florida university professor now behind bars, we have the following quotation from Inflitraton, "And in a speech to another Muslim audience, he (al-Arian) described a mortal struggle between Islam and the West. "We are in a battle of life and death, in a battle of fate and future against the Western hegemony and tryanny wanting to control the capabilities of the [Muslim] nations in order to enslave, steal, and control them," he said. "What is needed is the dismantling of the cultural system of the West."(pg.25) When you read of HR 288, designed to place Islam and any discussion of Islam beyond the range of Freedom of Speech through "hate speech law"/in this case read "Shaira Law", remember these words by Omar M. Ahmad, the founder of the Council on American-Islamic Relations: "Islam isn't in America to be equal to any other faith but to become dominant. The Quran should be the highest authority in America, and Islam the only accepted religion on Earth." (pg.24) HR 288 has been proposed for one reason only, to provide Islam with protected status so that anything said or written about Islam, Islamic history, and all else will be considered "hate speech". Seeminly innocous, this legistlation is designed to eliminate our free speech and to couch any discussion of the "religion" and all of its political ideologies as bigotry and religious intolerance. Americans are not treating the Qur'an badly. Some of us are reading it and reading that its words would have the practitioners of the "faith" treat us very badly indeed. HR288 is designed to make sure we cannot discuss the treatment the Quran orders its adherents to inflict upon us - dhimmitude being one issue. The dominance of Islam over all other religions another. H.R 288 Text Summary Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives condemning bigotry and religious intolerance, and recognizing that holy books of every religion should be treated with dignity and respect. Whereas believers of all religions, including the Abrahamic faiths of Christianity, Judaism and Islam, should be treated with respect and dignity; Whereas the word Islam comes from the Arabic root word meaning “peace” and “submission”; Whereas there are an estimated 7,000,000 Muslims in America, from a wide variety of ethnic backgrounds, forming an integral part of the social fabric of America; Whereas the Quran is the holy book for Muslims who recite passages from it in prayer and learn valuable lessons about peace, humanity and spirituality; Whereas it should never be official policy of the United States Government to disparage the Quran, Islam, or any religion in any way, shape, or form; Whereas mistreatment of prisoners and disrespect toward the holy book of any religion is unacceptable and against civilized humanity; Whereas the infringement of an individual’s right to freedom of religion violates the Constitution and laws of the United States: Now, therefore, be it 1 Resolved, That the House of Representatives– (1) condemns bigotry, acts of violence, and intolerance against any religious group, including our friends, neighbors, and citizens of the Islamic faith; (2) declares that the civil rights and civil liberties of all individuals, including those of the Islamic faith, should be protected; (3) recognizes that the Quran, the holy book of Islam, as any other holy book of any religion, should be treated with dignity and respect; and (4) calls upon local, State, and Federal authorities to work to prevent bias-motivated crimes and acts against all individuals, including those of the Islamic faith. ____________________________ The entire bill is a straw-man in that no one in America is infringing upon an individual's right to freedom of religion. When that "religion" has as its goal, the overthrow of our laws and of our civilization, are we to continue to view it as a "religion" or have the leaders quoted above been quite plain in their intent? If the answer is yes, then which "religion" is intolerant? Merry Christmas - tis the reason for the "holiday" season...

Well, this certainly raises my temper. I hope this doesn't pass. I just posted a note to my congressman, Bob Goodlatte:

Dear Honorable Goodlatte,

Please do not vote for House Resolution 288. It has a damaging influence against our freedoms of speech. It also helps to protect radical Islamists from criticism and will provide a boost for the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), who are already going after people with frivolous lawsuits.

A good friend of mine recently posted a blog about HR 288. If you find the time, please read her entry, and please pass this around to your aides. Every American needs to read this:

I appreciate all that you have done this year for your constituents. I am proud to say that you had my vote. Please continue the good work that you have done for us all.

Thanks, I'm using for my representative too, without the reference to my blog - or maybe I will.

Looking forward to hearing you tomorrow night. And very much finding Infiltration well worth the time and money.
