The Siege of Vienna (1683) and Tours (732) would be a good place to start. Muslims are the most backward and savage people on the planet, not because intolerant, insensitive conservatives say so. Their actions are plain as day. And progressive liberals who consistently defend the actions of Islamic barbarians need to get their head out of the sand.

The entire rationale of terrorist acts is that they are high profile/low risk provocations.

"They...Late to the party. More power outages.<br /><br />"They want Islam? Then we need to stand back and allow their conquering heroes to give it to them good and hard."<br /><br />I agree; but the problem, of course, is they are satisfied to stay in their own countries. They want to export their culture to the rest of the world. We can see what is happening in Spain, France and England and other European countries where they multiply like the sewer rats that they are. They demand that they be able to apply sharia law and they demand that everyone tolerate their culture while they tolerate no other culture. The same thing is beginning in the US in places like Dearborn, Michigan. The Saudis have their text books in the Muslim schools here, which teach hatred of America and we sit by and do nothing.<br /><br />I'm sick of hearing that the vast majority of Muslims are moderates and wish no ill on America. that is true. I have known more than a few over the years.; good people, nice families, and good neighbors. The problem with these moderate Muslims is that the first time a radical rabid Iman puts the arm on them to help with some plan they have; be it contributing money to some faux charity or storing some materials in their garage or finding a job for one of their operatives, They will do it. And, I don't care if they do it out of fear for themselves or their family or they do it because at their core they are Muslims and will do what the Koran dictates.<br /><br />America needs to stop all immigration to this country of those people and they need to keep an eye on the ones that are already here. If that is called racial profiling; so be it!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7674333464171899932.post-60991201191256154482012-09-16T14:16:56.391-06:002012-09-16T14:16:56.391-06:00Attention all non-violent Muslims, your religion d...Attention all non-violent Muslims, your religion does NOT repeat, does NOT sanction violence...
