#3 While it's nice to see Britain roll up these terror networks, it won't be of much help if they continue to coddle their Muslim population. They simply need to crack down on everything Islamic, much like we need to do here in America.

I'd truly like to think that our Muslim population here in America is integrating far better than that of Europe. Our nation offers so much more in the way of financial gain and material success. Then I'm obliged to recall how so many Islamic authorities revile material comfort as distracting good Muslims from the imperatives of jihad. I also have to remember how Democracy is seen as man-made laws that fly in the face of those decreed by Islam's god.

Yesterday, I was talking with my Iranian friend who runs the Western Union office in my neighborhood. I asked him about the differences in setting up a business overseas in Iran, or elsewhere, compared to America. He responded with absolute amazement and was kind enough to relate how, upon returning to Iran in 1980 after attending university in America, his family and parents bribed their way into Pakistan, then Spain and finally over to America. He talked about how his folks had looked into starting a business in Europe and finally threw up their hands at all of the bureaucratic red tape that was so anti-business.

I reminded him how Spain was, in many ways, similar to Muslim countries because they too had outlawed the collecting of interest on loans as usury. My friend continued to reflect on how the Iranian mullahs were steering all wealth into their pockets. He also was quite clear on just how many of the Iranians absolutely detest the Shiite clergy and look upon them as usurpers of an earlier and more sophisticated Persian culture.

As we continued to talk about Muslims, he brought up how they are allowed to say anything they want, even to lie about their religious faith. His jaw dropped when I mentioned taqiyya. We both agreed that it represented one of the most heinous ethical crimes there is.

And this is where the point comes full circle. No matter how seemingly well-integrated America's Muslims may appear, there will always be a nagging suspicion that they are merely dissembling as they each await their moment of Sudden Jihad Syndrome. Until Islam is genuinely reformed by ridding itself of terrorism, sharia, taqiyya, dhimmitude and a host of other intense character flaws, I must refuse to accept their presence in this country. There is too much at stake and so little to trust about Islam that I have no choice.

Islam cannot be reformed: jihad, takiya, double morals are in the Coran itself and this is supposed to have coexisted, without a single letter changed, along with Allah itself since well before Universe creation.

#6 I'm surprised that anyone could still think that economic opportunities for Muslims will blunt the sword of jihad. The 7/7 bombers had jobs, and the testimony of Hassan Butt states that he collected funding for jihad from the highest strata of the Pak community in the UK - doctors, lawyers, engineers. Money in the pockets of Western Muslims (from work or welfare) means more jihad, either at home or abroad.

I would name it Whupthemuz Prime.

Islam cannot be reformed: jihad, takiya, double morals are in the Coran itself and this is supposed to have coexisted, without a single letter changed, along with Allah itself since well before Universe creation.

This is easily one of the most discouraging things about the future survival of Islam or any coexistence with it. That Islam is so hidebound and calcified has come about from over 1,000 years of stagnation and purposefully curtailing all avenues of reformation. This has brought about "closure of the door of ijtihad", or the process of legal decision making through independent interpretation of Koranic law. Islam, with the help of al-Ghazali, has so thoroughly exterminated the practice of ijtihad that there is little hope for any renaissance in its doctrine.

I'm surprised that anyone could still think that economic opportunities for Muslims will blunt the sword of jihad. The 7/7 bombers had jobs, and the testimony of Hassan Butt states that he collected funding for jihad from the highest strata of the Pak community in the UK - doctors, lawyers, engineers. Money in the pockets of Western Muslims (from work or welfare) means more jihad, either at home or abroad.

While there may well be exceptions to the rule, the common mode expression of Muslim wealth has been to finance jihad against the West and it remains every bit as intolerable now as it was during the Crusades.
