When mildly conservative political opiner Bill O'Reilly goes on the fatuous and incoherently 'Liberal' program 'The View' [what person actually watches such a piece of intellectual bunk ?]; and declares rather obviously that 'Muslims attacked us on 9-11'; and that building a Mosque a stone's throw away from Ground Zero was neither intelligent nor warranted; he is pilloried by the great and good Liberal elite. If one reads about Islamic imperialism, its liturgy, and those Muslims engaged in the current war on the modern world, you will find that the Koran and all important Muslim leaders advocate Jihad – not the internal struggle that the elite drones on about – but the more important military struggle that somehow escapes the notice of the really smart people. O'Reilly's treatment on this rather execrable and dumbed-down program illustrates an important point. Leftists, who are Communists, Marxist, Eco-Terrorists, and assorted anti-capitalist; anti-Western cranks and propagandists, will do anything to divorce Islam, a theology which is dedicated to world domination; from Islamism, a political movement within Islam which is focused on terror, war, and destruction. The problem for the Leftists is that in the real world, Islamism is Islam. There are of course moderate Muslims, but as Daniel Pipes and others have long ago proven, there is no moderate Islam. The main reason why Islam as a political theology cannot be moderate, tolerant, or contain the attributes accorded to it by the Leftists, is that any serious study of the topic will reveal that Jihad is at the core of Islam and Jihad means the spread of the cult by any means possible. Read Islamic history. Read the Koran. There are 164 verses advocating Jihad, over 300 if you add in calls to raid, plunder, strike or commit violence. The Koran and Islamic liturgy is literally obsessed with war and violence against non-believers; 002:178-179, 190-191, 193-194, 216-218, 244; 003:121-126, 140-143, 146, 152-158, 165-167,169, 172-173, 195; 004:071-072, 074-077, 084, 089-091, 094-095,100-104; 005:033, 035, 082; 008:001, 005, 007, 009-010, 012, 015-017, 039-048,057-060, 065-075; 009:005, 012-014, 016, 019-020, 024-026, 029,036, 038-039, 041, 044, 052, 073, 081, 083,086, 088, 092, 111, 120, 122-123; 016:110; 022:039, 058, 078; 024:053, 055; 025:052; 029:006, 069; 033:015, 018, 020, 023, 025-027, 050; 042:039; 047:004, 020, 035; 048:015-024; 049:015; 059:002, 005-008, 014; 060:009; 061:004, 011, 013; 063:004; 064:014; 066:009; 073:020; 076:008 No Muslim can refute the above. Open up a Koran. Here is what Sura 2 has to say and these are just 4 examples: [2.178]...retaliation is prescribed for you in the matter of the slain.... Are you telling me that Muslims don't read the above and believe it? There is a Koranic law – 2:178 and 179; which allows Muslims to 'retaliate' against the infidel. What does retaliate mean? Is it Bin Laden's retaliation against Western targets for the destruction of Muslim Spain – a rich set of kingdoms which was sacked and destroyed by 3 waves of Islamic invasions in which millions of people were enslaved or killed? Or is it retaliation in the fetid minds of those Muslims who believe, like Hitler in his fantasy Mein Kampf; that the Jews controlled the world's banking and media systems and needed to be punished for manipulating mankind? Or does retaliation mean looking at a Muslim the wrong way and thereby incurring the Koranic law of Sura 2 in which the devilishly eyed aggressor must be put into his proper, submissive place? What effect does these 4 sentences have on the reader? What if it is repeated 164 times? If the Koran is 'uncreated' [which is nonsense of course, there are 4 different Korans in existence today, and it was written over an 800 year period]; and the literal word of a 'God' than don't we assume that the pious Muslim believes that violence is sanctified and even holy? Isn't it obvious that this unknowable thing or 'God' called Allah does advocate war, the slaughter of non-believers and intolerance? Isn't the culture thus created one of swaggering domination and will to power? Further to the point – does a religion demand submission to an unknowable object like Allah; and the division of the world into 'us and them'? Aren't there two major aspects of what makes up a religion? The first must be the enshrining of natural law rights as espoused by Augustine and Aquinas. Natural law rights lead to free-will; self-determination; rationality; and social contracts. The second is certainly the immanent and non-group or tribe-specific implementation of the Golden Rule. Islam contains neither of these religious tenets. The above verses are just a small sample of the world according to the Koran. Muslims rule. The rest are non-entities who can justifiably be killed. Read the Koran. The Leftist reaction to someone like O'Reilly speaks volumes about their collective derangement. Yes Muslims did attack us on 9-11 and on many other occasions. Islam's borders have always been bloody to use Huntington's analytical phrase. Yet to state the obvious gets the commentator called names; attracts threats and sends the diseased Leftist mind into apoplexy. If Christians had flown planes into the WTC and destroyed 3000 lives, I doubt very much that the Liberals would exonerate Christianity from the act. I find it highly unlikely that the mainstream media led by the BBC and NY Times would constantly refrain that 'Christianity is peace'. Yet an ideology named 'Submission', which demands that the church and state are one; and that the human's only important act in life is the prostration towards, and the veneration of the moon idol Al-Allah which will determine all things in life both big and small; is defended as a hallowed and sanctified theology. As Orwell stated so well, some ideas are so stupid that only Liberals can hold them.

[2.179] ...there is life for you in (the law of) retaliation, O men of understanding, that you may guard yourselves.,
[2.190] ...fight in the way of Allah with those who fight with you...
[2.191] And kill them wherever you find them, and drive them out from whence they drove you out, and persecution is severer than slaughter, and do not fight with them at the Sacred Mosque until they fight with you in it, but if they do fight you, then slay them; such is the recompense of the unbelievers.
