John,

Here is my family letter. I have removed some of the links to the articles but left some that I think help my letter make sense. Edit as you wish.

Dear Family,

Recently I have sent bits of information that show Islam as it is. Heretofore I have made no real comments with the forwarded information. Tonight I feel impressed to send this along with some of my thoughts.

Here is a recent email from Jihad Watch, which as usual contains some “eye opening” information. I believe all Americans should be aware of the Islamic agenda in order to make good decisions to help safeguard our Western culture. Islam is NOT a “peace loving” religion as portrayed by it’s apologists and propagandists. Rather it is a violent, intolerant, medieval, theocratic political system dedicated to the destruction of all other religions and governments throughout the world. You have probably heard Islamic apologists or the uninformed make statements that claim “Jihad” is an “inner struggle” of the individual rather than “Holy War”. This is an outright lie! You have also probably heard the lie about “Moderate Islam”. This too is a lie. Islam, as taught by Muhammad (the last prophet of all time), cannot be true to the Qur’an and moderate (as we understand the word). There are Muslims who do not want violence or to oppress others but they are apostates in the teachings of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH or Punishment Be Upon Him) and will suffer the same fate as Christians, Jews, Zoroastrians, pagans and atheists when Islam rules.

The Qur'an uses the word Jihad 46 times and 44 of the citations refers to the duty of Muslims to engage in violent “Holy War” to convert or enslave all “infidels”. One needs only to read Islam's holy books, the Qur’an and the Hadith (the traditions) and judge what is written therein against the violence perpetrated against the West from Islamic sources to know the truth of what I say. There are many other good sources that carefully compare the teachings of Islam with our Western culture and are useful in educating oneself. I will send the references to you if you desire.

The oft praised “Arab Spring”, media outlets use to describe the recent upheaval in the Arab world is better described as the “Autumn of the West” . Pseudo-secular Islamic governments are being replaced by dedicated Islamist expansionists in the Middle East. Unless we stop being “politically correct” and wake up to the realization that the Islamic aggression against the West, which began in the 7th century, is more dangerous now than at any time since Constantinople fell to the Ottoman’s in 1453 and their subsequent defeat at the gates of Vienna.

The Muslim Brotherhood, organized in 1924, after the recent fall of the Ottoman Empire, is the central organization that gave rise to all the well known terrorist groups such as al Qaida, Hamas, The PLO, Hezbollah and al-Shabab. While there are tactical differences in how these groups operate, they share the same goal; to wage violent Jihad against the West and impose a Caliphate on the whole world which is nothing more than suppressing all non-Islamic religions AND governments and enslaving the West under the heel of Islam with one supreme imam (teacher) as Caliph. The Muslim Brotherhood boasts that it will use our freedoms of speech, religion and right to assemble against us in order to destroy our way of life. Islam does NOT; believe in democracy, religious or cultural diversity and it most certainly does NOT believe in the value of the individual nor the agency of the individual to make his or her own choices. Hmmm, I wonder why one cannot preach Christ’s Gospel in Mecca and live?

What can we do about this? We can work to have the use of Sharia law banned in our courts, we can monitor what our schools are teaching our youth, we can call and write politicians with our concerns, we can warn others of Islamic dangers and we can refuse to accept the lies told in defense of Islam.

You may think I have completely lost my mind in my old age BUT I have not. I am a prophet to my own House! I urge you, my loved ones; be alert, be informed, be strong against those who would despoil you and your families by laying waste to all that is truly good in our heritage. The battle lines and choices are clear... in black and white... light or dark... love or hate. If we, as a people, ignore or disregard the Islamic threat now, three generations hence our children will face Mecca to pray.

If I have said anything of value please use it to start learning about this threat. If you see no value here don’t worry I’ll send you more worrisome stuff another time. Please read the articles they show the problem much better than I can.

I love you all.

Dad

PS: Mr. Romney’s words in the article are narrowly parsed and politically correct. Which is the great fault of our current crop of politicians. It is true, with a carefully worded and narrow definition to say “ Muslims do not have to subscribe to violence or “radical” Jihad”. BUT, to be Muslims of the Qur’an, true believers must acknowledge the Prophet and his teachings as supreme, which also admits a belief in the use of violence to spread Islam (meaning submission to Allah and The Prophet) if necessary. Otherwise they are not Muslims but apostates.

Romney shows his abysmal ignorance of Islam or his willingness to deceive us for his own gain. Can you imagine a man who has so much money to campaign with and to hire the best and brightest minds to advise him would be so lacking in understanding of Islam that he would make such a statement? I can’t! He is playing word games and shows me his true character. But then I already knew what his character is since I worked for him in the SLC Olympics.

Romney: "I believe people of the Islamic faith do not have to subscribe to the idea of radical, violent jihadism"

Dec 09, 2011 09:55 pm | Robert

What about nonradical, nonviolent jihadism? What about the Islamic supremacist imperative to assert Sharia over other legal codes by nonviolent as well as violent means? Romney doesn't address that, and I doubt he is even aware that such an imperative exists. "Mitt Romney: Islam is not an inherently violent faith,"...read more

Gingrich: "Palestinians" an "invented people"

Dec 09, 2011 04:42 pm | Robert

Gingrich is right in this. PLO executive committee member Zahir Muhsein said this in 1977: The Palestinian people does not exist. The creation of a Palestinian state is only a means for continuing our struggle against the state of Israel for our Arab unity. In reality today there is no...read more

Egypt's Salafist al-Nour party calls democracy "heresy" at rally

The ends justify the means, and that is what democracy is here: not the goal, but the means. For now, it is the path of least resistance to attaining power. They have gotten up to 30% of the vote, depending on the report. A democracy is only as good as...read more

Saudi textbook says conflict with Jews "is a religious conflict, not a dispute about politics or nationality, or a conflict between races or tribes, or a fight over land or country, as some describe it"

So much for "underlying causes" and the various excuses du jour.

The report illustrates that hatred and violence continue...read more

Canada: Feminists back Islamic idea of women as possessions of men

Dec 09, 2011 11:48 am | Robert

I have taken feminists to task more than once not only for their failure to stand up for Muslim women, but for their active excuse-making for the oppression of those women. See, for example, my article in FrontPage, "Feminists Betray Muslim Women," on how the feminist writer Laura Briggs justifies...read more

Hertz to fight Muslim workers' lawsuit over prayer breaks

Dec 09, 2011 09:23 am | Robert

These workers refused to clock out to pray. They weren't being denied breaks. They were just not being allowed to get paid to pray. And so, of course, they are suing. But Hertz, unlike most American businesses when faced with Islamic supremacist intimidation lawsuits, is fighting back. A refreshing instance...read more

Criticism of Islam Could Soon be a Crime in America

It couldn't happen here, right? We have the First Amendment, right? Well, look at how the Second Amendment has been interpreted almost out of existence in some areas. The same thing could happen to the First -- and the process is already underway. "Criticism of Islam Could Soon be a...
