A war to the death!THE TELEGRAPH: Who would have thought it? Half of Europe – the half that was so smug about having buried God several generations ago – is waiting in real trepidation for the outcome of a theological argument. When Pope Benedict XVI flies to Turkey tomorrow, he will embody the most potentially incendiary confrontation between Islam and the West since the defeat of the Turks at Vienna in 1683 brought an end to Islamic conquest in Europe.
The Pope will take with him an understanding that at the root of our problems in dealing with the Islamist death cult, there is a fundamental debate to be had about the role of human reason in political affairs.
The remarks he made in a lecture in Regensburg, Germany, which implied that Islam rejected rationality while Christianity saw it as essential to faith were contentious (and almost certainly designed to be so), but they raised a question that almost no Western government has the courage to ask, let alone answer. How is a liberal democracy to deal with an illiberal religious minority in its midst? We are in a war to the death - craven concessions won't win it

It is reported that Hamas has declared that if the Palestinian problem isn't solved in 6 months they will go to war with Israel again.
Since when has the religion of dismembering human bodies been at peace with anyone?

Quite simply, it hasn't been.
The naive, the uniformed, the self-absorbed, and the inattentive have not noticed that Islam has never not at a war with the non-Muslim world. Now technology and petrodollars has given them the where-with-all to extend this non-stop conflict across continents and oceans to reach populations that were beyond their reach.
Both the Palestinian conflict and those of Iraq are merely battles in the same war, a war that will never end as long as one live person idealizes and supports this hideous, predatory ideology.
And remember that an Islamic peace can only occur IF and WHEN all the earth accepts the Islamic system.
The Islamic system means: conversion, subjugation as slaves or dhimmis with the payment of tribute, or death. All the earth's inhabitants are no longer enemies but Muslims (comrades) or subjects - tributary vassals and slaves.
Not a peace I would accept.
Mark: my husband loves your book A New Dark Age Is Dawning:Essays on islam we purchased last weekend and has finished reading it. i get to read it next. When flipping thru the pages i saw you have a collection of essays on political correctness and i think those will be fascinating when i get read those essays [i think the fascination will be to see how people can be so blind to the obvious that they are endangered by the dismemberment and mutilation of human bodies that is part of islams methods.
