The hatred of the west by radical or moderate islam is so obvious it's scary... They blame us for most if not all of their problems, when they only have to look inwards to see what they should hate the most !!! This is their religion of hate them, hate it, hate, hate , hate !!!! They have been held down for centuries by this religion of so called peace...

We in the west are successful for one reason and one reason only, this reason of course is the ability to think for ourselves, most of the middle east countries don't allow for free thinking .this is not our fault, it's their own governments led by religious extremists who do the thinking for them... Is it no wonder then that moderate muslims won't speak out because if they do they will be killed ....

If the shoe was on the other foot, maybe we would be afraid to speak out as well.... We , the world, are facing an evil that can only be stopped by force......We are not dealing with rational thinking people, their only thought is converting all to their way of thinking or die.... I for one will not go peacefully into the night, I will keep shouting to the world that the devil is at our backdoor and we'd better wake before it's to late....
