Here are some opinions of our most knowledgeable folks in this nation. They're very interesting and the statement at the end might surprise some of you.<>p>
ROBERTSON: Imagine one cartoon, one cartoon showing Mohammad with a turban with a missile out of it. I mean, we have stuff like that, that is vastly worse against our politicians all the time. It's part of free expression. The fact that this elicited this incredible outpouring of rage just shows the kind of people we're dealing with. These people are crazed fanatics, and I want to say it now: I believe it's motivated by demonic power; it is satanic; and it's time we recognize what we are dealing with. But, political correctness will not face one religious ideology with the strength of another because they don't have the strength of another. And, so, they're caving in before this vicious assault, and the goal of Islam, ladies and gentlemen, whether you like it or not, is world domination. These people are saying it over there in Europe -- world domination. "We're going to take over Europe. We're going to take over England. We're going to take over Denmark. We're going to take over France." That's their goal! And, why don't we wake up to the fact of who we're dealing with? And, by the way, Islam is not a religion of peace.
Franklin Graham also called Islam "a very evil and wicked religion" after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. He prayed "in Jesus' name" at President Bush's 2001 swearing-in ceremony. Both comments inspired a barrage of criticism, yet Franklin Graham never backed down.
Jerry Falwell on Islam
I think the Moslem faith teaches hate. I think there’s clear evidence that the Islam religion, wherever it has majority control--and I can name a dozen countries--doesn’t even allow people of other faiths to express themselves or evangelize or to exist in their presence.... I think that when persons are clearly bigoted towards other persons in the human family, they should be disqualified from funds. For that reason, Islam should be out the door before they knock. If you’re not going to minister to blacks, whites, all colors and religions, and you're not going to allow freedom of expression in every circumstance...you should not be allowed to dip into the pork barrel.

At a Christian Coalition symposium on Feb. 15, Don Feder, a syndicated columnist for The Boston Herald for 19 years, and Daniel Pipes, New York Post columnist and director of the right-wing Middle East Forum, agreed that militant Islamists are the real enemies of the U.S., reports O'Dwyer's PR Daily. Feder "railed against U.S. leaders who insist Islam is a religion of tolerance and compassion and charity," O'Dwyer's writes. "Islam is not a religion of peace but has lent itself well over its 1,400 year history to fanaticism, terrorism, mass murder, oppression and conversion by the sword, according to Feder."
President Bush on Islam
The face of terror is not the true faith of Islam. That's not what Islam is all about. Islam is peace. These terrorists don't represent peace. They represent evil and war.
When we think of Islam we think of a faith that brings comfort to a billion people around the world. Billions of people find comfort and solace and peace. And that's made brothers and sisters out of every race -- out of every race.
Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini on Islam
We have repeatedly shown in our foreign and international Islamic policy that we have been and are intent on expanding the influence of Islam in the world and lessening the domination of the world devourers. Now, if the servants of the United States cite this policy as being expansionist and motivated to establish a great empire, we will not fear it but welcome it.
We are intent on tearing out the roots of corrupting Zionism, capitalism, and Communism in the world. We have decided to rely on God Almighty to destroy the regimes which are based on these three pillars, in order to spread the regime of the Islam of the messenger of God - peace be on him and his scion - in a world of arrogance.
The Moslems of the world must know that so long as the balance of power in the world is not in their favor, the interests of foreigners will always take precedence over their interests, and that every day the great Satan or the Soviet Union will provoke some event on the pretext of safeguarding their interests. Indeed, if the Moslems fail to resolve their problems with the world devourers in a serious manner and if they fail to arrive at least at the borders of a big world power will they be left in peace?At present if the United States totally ruins an Islamic country on the pretext of safeguarding its interests, who will block its way? Therefore, there is no alternative but to continue to struggle. We must smash the hands and the teeth of the superpowers, particularly the United States. And we must choose one of two alternatives - either martyrdom or victory, which we both regard as victory.Those who believe in the principles of our Islamic revolution all over the world are increasing. We regard them as the potential capitals of our revolution. There are also those who sign petitions supporting us with their blood and who accept wholeheartedly the invitation of the revolution. God willing, they will bring the whole world under their control. Hardships of War.
What the Koran thinks of Christians and Jews:
Koran:Dinner Table;5.51] O you who believe! do not take the Jews and the Christians for friends; they are friends of each other; and whoever amongst you takes them for a friend, then surely he is one of them; surely Allah does not guide the unjust people.
That's the end of the articles; opinions of some very educated men.
I want to point out something that should be very disturbing to all of us. It is; The only one who disagrees with the others, including the leader of religious Iranian Muslims, is our President.
All say Islam's goal is world domination by any means except President Bush! Spooky, ain't it?
Of course, if you do not believe there is a God and Jesus is our savior, then it shouldn't matter to you one way or the other.
Later...
