At last, someone agrees with me -- Pablo!

I have been advocating for years that Islam is NOT a religion; it is NOT even a cult; that it must be declared a terrorist organization. It began as such in the early 7th century and continues as such to this very day. Do we need any more proof? Are we to act only after more and more terrorist acts are perpetrated on the West?

Political correctness has taken its toll of free people, especially when Western leaders such as George W. Bush irresponsibly describes Islam as "a peaceful religion," and gone-at-last Tony Blair says, "To me, the most remarkable thing about the Koran is how progressive it is....It is practical and far ahead of its time in attitudes toward marriage, women, and governance."

Do these leaders actually believe what they are saying? If so, then it is obvious they know absolutely nothing about Islam or the Koran, or the Islamic agenda.

When one considers the contents of such "holy books," including those in the Bible, it is obvious that they are nothing less than bloodthirsty novels, but theists, whether Jew, Christian or Muslim, continue to believe in them.

That Muslims today would continue to believe in such nonsense beggars belief, but then we must remember the mindset of Arab desert dwellers in the 7th century, whose mindlessness set them up for the biggest hoax ever perpetrated on mankind -- religion. They are wired to the extreme, and nothing short of outright war will stop them from trying to convert the entire world to their way of thinking.

Mohammed's words, "inspired by allah," form a manifesto that the mafia would be proud of.

Now, however, the time for political correctness is over. To hell with it! It's time to think of humanity as a whole and push aside Islam and declare war on it. There is no alternative!

I firmly believe that unless we face this insidious disease head on, then I foresee a day when matters will be transferred into the hands of those with more resolve.

AS Dwight D, Eisenhower said at his inaugural address: "History does not long entrust the care of freedom to the weak or the timid."
