Militant Islam suffers from itself

You see, no matter what a particular group says, their basic charter will, eventually, come out because that is who they are. The Nazis had their apologists, the Communists had their apologists, even Pol Pot had his apologists, but through it all, the aforementioned groups all showed their true colors when given the chance.

For all the apologists' rambling mewings that Islam is a religion of peace, they will stare in disbelief, revealing their shocked betrayal, when it is Islam itself who will prove them wrong.

Militant Islam is a leopard, a cunning, vicious, nasty little jungle cat that has donned the skin of a lamb in order to get within the fold of the sheep pen, but its very nature cannot be contained by displays of "peaceful piety," for long periods of time. The opportunity to rip, bite, and shred at all the sheep who are not Muslim is too much for it to contain itself when a chance ... is presented.

When I talked to Indians who came from India, they all said the same thing, "the Muslims come in, and things are okay for a while, but then the killings start, and it doesn't end until either the Muslims win, or they lose."...

Militant Islam's future is enslaved to its past, and no amount of bleach and softener on the skin of the leopard is going to change it from a predatory jungle cat to a docile lamb.
