Who knows what’s going to happen next,…this whole friggin world is a conspiracy, IMO!

It’s a “clash of cultures” and it will NEVER work.

This country has a decision to make,…either we purge our country of islam or we will end up being Dhimmis for them.

Just imagine if the Moslems had a large enough majority in the congress + POTUS,…..do you all think this nightmare scenario would bode well for Americas’ safety and freedom?

I sure as hell don’t!

Spooky.

Yet…Silence everywhere about this.

You have to wonder why.

Do not be deceived by their civil demeanor,their respect for the “infidel” is only skin deep.

Paradox has a good understanding of the “paradox” of a “peaceful Muslim”

On the Islam topic, I still am not convinced that it brings anything to the West except problems. I certainly haven’t been immersed in Muslim culture to the extent you have, but I’ve known my fair share of Muslims, both here and abroad–sports, school, work, the neighborood, travel–even dormed with a Muslim exchange student for a year. I’ve never met a Muslim I didn’t like–they were all very decent people. But for me, that doesn’t trump the incessant sudden-mass-murder-in-the-name-of-Allah syndrome that seems to pop up wherever and whenever. Your point about “go in, kill everyone, get out” certainly is effective in dismantling extremist networks, but I don’t know how effective that would be in stopping a guy like Hasan. If he weren’t Muslim, would he ever have done what he did?

Per your points about the numeral system, the Crusades, etc., I hear this all the time whenever Islam comes up in conversation up here in deep-blue country. Robert Spencer, amongst others, does a pretty good job of dismantling these arguments (e.g., “The Politically Incorrect Guide to Islam and the Crusades”). Also, thereligionofpeace.com takes on these points too, to some effect. Not sure if you’ve checked them out, but I find them to be informative.

But yes, this is a lesser issue compared to the greater problem of a cultural that has completely lost its way in terms of work ethic, personal responsibility, etc.

I wonder if the recession driving so many people into the armed services will help mitigate the latest generation’s [continued] slide into sloth and turpitude?

Hillbilly Jack,
I am still a Christian. My past experiences with Christianity are not what leads me to defend most Muslims. What leads me to defend most Muslims is my aforementioned interaction with them. The reason I am defending them on here is that I see a lot of potential in the people on here. The problem is that ya’ll are focusing on the wrong thing.

Everyone,
The main threat to our country is not the majority of Muslims. The most dangerous threat to our country (by far) is the despicable apathy of my generation and the one before. We who are supposed to be the next leaders of America have few representatives of our generation who are not completely brainless and/or lazy to the point of ridiculousness. If it doesn’t immediately affect us then the vast majority of my generation simply does not give a shit, to put it bluntly. Then comes the complete ineptitude of our elected officials. I have yet to hear from a congressman who has read the healthcare bill and yet they are voting on it, one way or another. I continue to try to fight this by informing my peers about issues facing us every day but they just don’t care and it sickens me. They were raised thinking that everything will just be given to them. So you go ahead with your distraction and your blaming people while I will continue to fight the losing battle to get my generation off it’s lazy ass.

AWD,
I would love to talk to you more about this. Feel free to e-mail me (if you can see my address, if not let me know and I’ll contact you).

Well if it is…the govt./administration is doing a very poor job of it…dontcha think?

Josh,

I was going to inquire of you, your angle,as to why a Marine would go so out of his way to defend Islam,on a blog where he knows his opinion will be in the minority.

However..

Your above quote tells me all I need to know about your motive.

You may have been burned,in your past,by your experiences with the “religion” of Christianity,I understand more on the subject than you know,I assure you.

The “faith” of Christianity is what matters,embracing and defending the twisted “virtues” of Islam will not help you reconcile your past experiences with Christianity.

And yes Josh,I have known many a Muslim,I have worked with them,attended college with them and I have had meaningful interaction with them.

My conclusion of Islam remained and remains the same..

Muslims have no place amongst the people and civilizations of the West,they offer nothing we cannot provide for ourselves either worldly or spiritually.

Do not be deceived by their civil demeanor,their respect for the “infidel” is only skin deep.

I guess any douchebag that can pass the physical to get into the military is a f**king expert on geopolitics now?

Just like John Kerry, and John Murtha, eh?

Enjoy the AWD little old ladies tea party and fake military dude fluffer party.

It used to be that all officers and senior NCO’s had to have at least a confidential clearance; however this guy was interviewing / counseling soldiers with various issues such as post traumatic stress so I would imagine that sort of position would require a secret clearance at a minimum and more likely a top secret clearance.

I can’t believe that PC has gone so far that the Army would overlook poor OER’s and the – and – on top that – this guy was known for associating with radical islamics?

If we have dead and wounded soldiers and civilians because of Political correctness then there needs to be some courts-martial’s in some officers future.
