It's a religion of peace

Is it just me, or do I recall politicians and media stories reassuring us over and over, "Islam is a religion of peace." "The Koran honors and respects Abraham and Jesus in it's pages." "The mainline practitioners of Islam harbor absolutely no ill will towards the Christian world."

Then can someone tell me why the new paid-for-in-American-blood Afghanistan government wants to put a converted Christian man to death for the highly offensive crime of leaving the Muslim faith for the Christian faith? He can't even get a Bible in his cell, yet we provide Korans and religious liberties for the terrorists in captivity who request them.

Is this newly minted democracy really a front for an Islamic theocracy? And is this the kind of pay back a Western (and predominantly Christian) nation can expect for all the G.I. blood spilled to free it from Taliban hegemony?

In the West, we have Mosques, Hindu temples, pagan shrines, wickens and what have you peppered through out our communities. No body is calling for the death penalty when they make converts within our borders. But Christians are being slaughtered all over the world in Islamic nations ... and now maybe in a country newly freed by soldiers (many of them Christians) who died for their new freedoms.

I'm sorry, but it has yet to be proven to me that Islam is a religion of peace. And I have grave concerns about the build up of Muslims within our Western borders. Sure, they come in under a banner of peace now, and I would guess that most of them wish to live quiet lives in a free West. But as they metastasize in numbers and political clout with Imams who, more or less, run the show -- who also AREN'T so peaceful and seem to make the "peaceful ones" clam up -- what might we see in 20 or 30 or 50 years?

Don't expect to see the Mongol hoards crashing at the gates. That's old school. Heck, our gates aren't even locked. The downfall is going to come from within, while we sleep dreaming our sweet dreams of tolerance.

Look, I'm sorry. But she DID invite it...

Groan ... the femi-Nazi PC police are at it again.

Some male radio talk show host got into trouble for having the temerity to mention that Imette St. Guillen, the co-ed who was brutally murdered in New York a few days ago, "invited" the fate that happened upon her.

Women's groups all over are jumping on this guy's back for laying ANY of the blame at her feet. "She has a right to go anywhere she wants at any time day or night!" ... is the war cry from these NOW rejects.

Yeah, well, I have the right to go surfing in 60-foot waves over rocky coral reefs in the middle of the night if I want to do that too. But it ain't necessarily a smart thing to do. Especially since I don't know how to surf.

Face it ladies, if you go drinking with your co-ed buddies at 4AM in the morning, then wander off drunk and alone in a bad section of town, you may be "inviting" disaster. And you will most certainly make an "inviting" target.

No one has the RIGHT to harm you. The scum that killed this beautiful young lady is 100% to blame for his actions. But WAKE UP! In the real world, there are predators who will use the opportunity to hurt you if you give it to them! We do not live in utopia! You have the "right" to walk down a dark alley with one-hundred dollar bills hanging out of your pockets, but if you want to keep them, you might want to rethink your rights vs. common sense.

So get off your high horses and stop moaning about the right to do anything your precious little hearts desire, and get a grip on the real world and it's dangers.

By the way, why aren't these feminists up in arms about the term "co-ed" being used in the media? Doesn't that stand for "co-educational?" Isn't a male college student just as co-ed as a female?

Yeah, right ... now I'm opening up ANOTHER can of worms.
