Not a word from the MSM.

If the opposite were to happen, it would be front page news on every major newspaper in America and the leading story on all MSM newscasts.

The track record of the Sunnis is better than the Shiites, at least in terms of how they treat Christians.

Ok first off i'm new and unaware on how to make my first thread. Please help.

I'm currently doing an essay on Muslims taking over the goverment. and well i have much to say and want to hear from others. I will keep in short on hear. and i know some of you will want hear more but i need you help on how to do so.

Thank You


This most certainly a important true topic. who ever discriminated on this question knows nothing about politics and our Goverment. I'm only 20 and i know more then a few of you. Muslims truely are tring to take over the goverment. All actions that are being taken are only making maters worse. What i muslim? It is a religion, a religion should be faught with a more powerfull and true force. (Christianity). Muslims has been created by the devil. So there God is not our God. That of that if a Muslim becomes apart of Congress. Christians need to spread there faith and we must grow stronger.

I'm going to stick up for religion here.

Religion per se is not the problem, it's this particular KIND of religion. And no, I don't mean Islam. I mean fundamentalism. Buddhists aren't exactly well-known for their commitment to violence. Taoists don't tend to riot. Methodists and Episcopalians don't generally burn cars and shoot children.

Neither do most Muslims.


Uneducated, fervently religious people are dangerous in any society. It's only a question of degree.

Witnesses report the mob prevented the fire brigade from entering the village. The army, which has been stationed for the last two days in the village of Bromil, 7 kilometers from Soul, initially refused to go into Soul, according to the officer in charge. When the army finally sent three tanks to the village, Muslim elders sent them away, saying that everything was "in order now."
A curfew has been imposed on the 12,000 Christians in the village.
This incident was triggered by a relationship between 40-year-old Copt Ashraf Iskander and a Muslim woman. Yesterday a "reconciliation" meeting was arranged between the relevant Coptic and Muslim families and together with the Muslim elders it was decided that Ashraf Iskander would have to leave the village because Muslims torched his house.
The father of the Muslim woman was killed by his cousin because he did not kill his daughter to preserve the family's honor, which led the woman's brother to avenge the death of his father by killing the cousin. The village Muslims blamed the Christians.

This is just a part of freedom loving, democracy loving, Muslims, and the most peaceful religion in the world - nothing to see here (cause the fire burned up all the evidence).

Try looking around at all the wars, genocide and rioting going on in the world, then find out how many Muslims are instigating it.

Maybe its just the times we live in, and their religion is going thru changes, but Muslims are prominent sources in the violence going on around the world.

It is just the times we live in. Why can you not differentiate between peaceful, moderate, EDUCATED muslims and the radicals?

Do you even know any muslims?
