jihad is a defensive religion

Whoever believes this is seriously misguided. Islam's immutable aim is the imposition of sharia law on everyone on earth. It demands that infidels be killed on sight. It supports the subjugation of women and regards them as worth half a man. It condones stoning beheading rape and honor killings. It's radical Imams call openly for death to America, the big satan, and death to Israel, its little brother.

Whereas the other major religions of the world have basically accepted one another, Islam refuses to do so and were it not for Israel being in control of Jerusalem, the free flow of religions now mingling there would be brought to an abrupt end. And, where Western countries freely allow one to practice of the religion of your choice, many Islamic countries shun other religions and refuse to allow the building of churches or of course synagogues. And the frightening thing is that the radical islamicists and their tacit supporters, i e those who refuse to criticize its most dastardly deeds, e.g in Darfur, knows it cannot win any kind of conventional war , but it has time on its side and by pure demographics and stealth is slowly strangling other cultures to death especially in Europe. Their birth rates exceed any other that of any other faith and this alone assures long term victory.

Whilst we in the west are tolerant and accepting and have adopted extreme politically correct language policies so as not to hurt the feelings of any muslim, as well as it being absolutely verboten to insult criticize or heaven forbid depict their Supreme Being in a cartoon, for the rest of us anything goes. Want to depict jews eating christian and muslim babies or using their blood in matzoh that is fine and dandy, want to make jokes about the Holocaust and have a competition to see who has the best sick joke, no problem, want to show movies where USA and Israeli soldiers remove organs from dead soldiers, or maybe even live ones, to sell on the black market for profit, no problem, want make fun of Christ on the cross, go ahead no problem mate. But make fun of Islam and be ready for the fatwas and threats and raging hysterical mobs crying foul! This is the reality of the world we live in. Behind all of this is the growing incidence of Anti Semitism, anti Zionism, and anti Israel madness that has enveloped the world far in excess of the hopes hitler could ever have had when he met with Arab leaders all those years ago during the 2nd World War and commiserated with them about those "awful jews" who were sullying the world with their awful science and learning and insistence in their love of the one God. "Islamic terrorists", never heard of such a thing, nudge nudge wink wink say no more......
