If one goes by the Pentagon's recent report on the Fort Hood terrorist attack, the Pentagon's PC putzes wouldn't recognize a Muslim terrorist if one jumped up and bit them on the butt. So in the interest of national security, I have collected some statements made by folks over the years, which might point the Pentagon in the right direction. One lives in hope – the poor dears are awfully slow on the uptake, though.
"Ever since the religion of Islam appeared in the world, the espousers of it…have been as wolves and tigers to all other nations, rending and tearing all that fell into their merciless paws, and grinding them with their iron teeth; that numberless cities are raised from the foundation, and only their name remaining; that many countries, which were once as the garden of God, are now a desolate wilderness; and that so many once numerous and powerful nations are vanished from the earth! Such was, and is at this day, the rage, the fury, the revenge, of these destroyers of human kind." – John Wesley (1703-1791), Methodist leader
"Bolshevism combines the characteristics of the French Revolution with those of the rise of Islam.... Marx has taught that Communism is fatally predestined to come about; this produces a state of mind not unlike that of the early successors of Mahommet.... Among religions, Bolshevism is to be reckoned with Mohammedanism, rather than with Christianity and Buddhism. Christianity and Buddhism are primarily personal religions, with mystical doctrines and a love of contemplation. Mohammedanism and Bolshevism are practical, social, unspiritual, concerned to win the empire of this world." – Bertrand Russell (1872-1970), Liberal icon
"Adopting from the new Revelation of Jesus, the faith and hope of immortal life, and of future retribution, he [Mohammed] humbled it to the dust by adapting all the rewards and sanctions of his religion to the gratification of the sexual passion. He poisoned the sources of human felicity at the fountain, by degrading the condition of the female sex, and the allowance of polygamy; and he declared undistinguishing and exterminating war, as a part of his religion, against all the rest of mankind. THE ESSENCE OF HIS DOCTRINE WAS VIOLENCE AND LUST. – TO EXALT THE BRUTAL OVER THE SPIRITUAL PART OF HUMAN NATURE.... Between these two religions, thus contrasted in their characters, a war of twelve hundred years has already raged. The war is yet flagrant ... While the merciless and dissolute dogmas of the false prophet shall furnish motives to human action, there can never be peace upon earth, and good will towards men." [The words in caps are as originally printed]. – John Quincy Adams (1767-1848), 6th President of the United States
"How dreadful are the curses which Mohammedanism lays on its votaries! Besides the fanatical frenzy, which is as dangerous in a man as hydrophobia [rabies] in a dog, there is this fearful fatalistic apathy. ...The fact that in Mohammedan law [sharia] every woman must belong to some man as his absolute property, either as a child, a wife, or a concubine, must delay the final extinction of slavery until the faith of Islam has ceased to be a great power among men. Individual Moslems may show splendid qualities -- but the influence of the religion paralyses the social development of those who follow it. No stronger retrograde force exists in the world." – Winston Churchill (1874-1965), British Prime Minister
"Only in the Roman Empire and in Spain under Arab domination has culture been a potent factor. Under the Arab, the standard attained was wholly admirable; to [Islamic] Spain flocked the greatest scientists, thinkers, astronomers, and mathematicians of the world, and side by side there flourished a spirit of sweet human tolerance and a sense of purist chivalry. Then with the advent of Christianity, came the barbarians. Had Charles Martel not been victorious at Poitiers – already you see the world had already fallen into the hands of the Jews, so gutless a thing Christianity!" – Adolph Hitler (1889-1945), Leader of the left-wing National Socialist German Workers Party (NAZI)
"Today [1950], the hatred of the Moslem countries against the West is becoming hatred against Christianity itself. Although the statesmen have not yet taken it into account, there is still grave danger that the temporal power of Islam may return and, with it, the menace that it may shake off a West which has ceased to be Christian, and affirm itself as a great anti-Christian world power." – Fulton J. Sheen (1895-1979), Renowned Catholic Bishop
"Islam makes it incumbent on all adult males, provided they are not disabled and incapacitated, to prepare themselves for the conquest of [other] countries so that the writ of Islam is obeyed in every country in the world. But those who study Islamic Holy War will understand why Islam wants to conquer the whole world…. Those who know nothing of Islam pretend that Islam counsels against war. Those [who say this] are witless. Islam says, kill all the unbelievers just as they would kill you all! ...Whatever good there is, exists thanks to the sword, and in the shadow of the sword! People cannot be made obedient, except with the sword! The sword is the key to Paradise, which can be opened only for Holy Warriors! ...Does all that mean that Islam is a religion that prevents men from waging war? I spit upon those foolish souls who make such a claim." – Ayatollah Khomeini (1902-1989), Iran's Supreme Leader from 1979 to 1989 – the highest ranking political and religious authority of the nation.
"[Islam] is essentially an obstructive, intolerant system…It has consecrated despotism; it has consecrated polygamy; it has consecrated slavery. It has declared war against every other creed; it has claimed to be at least dominant in every land…When it ceases to have an enemy to contend against, it sinks into sluggish stupidity and into a barbarism far viler It must have an enemy; if cut off…from conflict with the infidel, it finds its substitute in sectarian hatred of brother Moslems…" – Edward Augustus Freeman (1823-1892), British historian
"Qur'an…an accursed book…So long as there is this book there will be no peace in the world." – William Gladstone (1809-1898), Prime Minister of Great Britain 1868 -1894
"In the mid 1970s, the KGB ordered my service, the DIE – along with other East European sister services – to scour the country for trusted party activists belonging to various Islamic ethnic groups, train them in disinformation and terrorist operations, and infiltrate them into the countries of our "sphere of influence." Their task was to export a rabid...hatred for American Zionism by manipulating the ancestral abhorrence for Jews felt by the people in that part of the world. Before I left Romania for good, in 1978, my DIE had dispatched around 500 such undercover agents to Islamic countries. According to a rough estimate received from Moscow, by 1978 the whole Soviet-bloc intelligence community had sent some 4,000 such agents of influence into the Islamic world." – Gen. Ion Pacepa, Former head of the DIE – the Romanian equivalent of Communist Russia's KGB
"Am I calling for a war between Christianity and Islam? Certainly not. What I am calling for is a general recognition that we are already in a war. ...What we are fighting today is not precisely a "war on terror." Terror is a tactic, not an opponent. To wage a "war on terror" is like waging a "war on bombs": it focuses on a tool of the enemy rather than the enemy itself. A refusal to identify the enemy is extremely dangerous...." – Robert Spencer, author of The Politically Incorrect Guide to Islam (And The Crusades)
"Arise. O sons of Arabia, fight for your sacred rights. Kill the Jews wherever you find them. Their spilled blood pleases Allah, our history, and religion." – From a radio broadcast by Amin el-husseini, the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem.
After instigating a pro-Nazi putsch in Baghdad in 1941, he left for Germany, where he spent the remainder of WWII broadcasting propaganda to the Middle East.
"Will not perhaps the temporal power of Islam return and with it the menace of an armed Mohammedan world, which will shake off the domination of Europeans – still nominally Christian – and reappear as the prime enemy of our civilization? The future always comes as a surprise, but political wisdom consists in attempting at least some partial judgment of what that surprise may be. And for my part I cannot but believe that a main unexpected thing of the future is the return of Islam." – Hilaire Belloc (1870-1953), author/historian
"We should fully understand our religion. Fighting is a part of our religion and our Sharia [Islamic legal code]. Those who love God and his Prophet and this religion cannot deny that. Whoever denies even a minor tenet of our religion commits the gravest sin in Islam." – Osama bin Laden, radical Muslim
""I view Islam not as a religion, but as a dangerous, totalitarian ideology – equal to communism and fascism. Aren't I allowed to say so?" – Geert Wilders, Dutch politician
Mr. Wilders is currently on trial in the Netherlands for "incitement to hatred and discrimination." I guess you have your answer, Geert. So much for free speech – welcome to Eurabia.
"Christianity was saved in Europe solely because the peoples of Europe fought. If the peoples of Europe in the seventh and eighth centuries, and on up to, and including, the seventeenth century, had not possessed a military equality with, and gradually a growing superiority over, the Mohammedans who invaded Europe, Europe would at this moment be Mohammedan and the Christian religion would be exterminated.
Wherever the Mohammedans have had complete sway, wherever the Christians have been unable to resist them by the sword, Christianity has ultimately disappeared. From the hammer of Charles Martel to the sword of Sobieski, Christianity owed its safety in Europe to the fact that it was able to show that it could, and would, fight as well as the Mohammedan aggressor."
The civilization of Europe, America, and Australia, exists today at all, only because of the victories of civilized man over the enemies of civilization – because of victories through the centuries from Charles Martel, in the eighth century, and those of John Sobieski, in the seventeenth century. ...There are such "social values" today in Europe, America and Australia only because during those thousand years, the Christians of Europe possessed the warlike power to do what the Christians of Asia and Africa had failed to do – that is, to beat back the Moslem invader." – Teddy Roosevelt (1858 -1919) 26th President of the United States
"Islam isn't in America to be equal to any other faith, but to become dominant. The Qu'ran should be the highest authority in America, and Islam the only accepted religion on earth." – Omar Ahmed
, CAIR (Council for American Islamic Relations) Founding Chairman
"Ladies and gentlemen, we have to recognize that Islam is not a religion. It is a worldwide political movement bent on domination of the world. And it is meant to subjugate all people under Islamic law. In the Quran, it says it very clearly. There are two spheres. One is the Dar al-Harb, which is the realm of war. The other is Dar al-Islam, which is that part that's under submission to Islam. There is no middle ground. You're either at war, or you're under submission." Pat Robertson, Minister and host of "The 700 Club"
I hope these quotes help to clear things up for the Pentagon. If I didn't know any better, I'd think that they were more concerned with some PC bulls--t, than with their honor, oaths, or country. The United States already has semi-dhimmi status – note the lack of free speech when it comes to Islam. I strongly urge the Pentagon to get on the ball, and stop playing with themselves.
Laus Deo.
