		<description><![CDATA[Do we really need to reexamine the crusades? Implicitly indicating a need to defend them? The crusades were a REACTION to Islam&#039;s conquering aggression that morphed into a religious crusade. End of story. 

Islam is a totalitarian, aggressively expansionist ideology wrapped within a facade of religion. 

Islam cannot reform because to do so requires rejecting Muhammad&#039;s most fundamental claim; that the Qur&#039;an was &lt;i&gt;dictated to him&lt;/i&gt; by Allah through the archangel Gabriel. That the Qur&#039;an is Allah&#039;s direct testimony, NOT Muhammad&#039;s. 

Reject Muhammad&#039;s claim, unavoidable to reform and you implicitly declare Muhammad to either be a liar or delusional. In either case, Islam&#039;s theological foundations utterly collapse. 

&#039;Moderate&#039; Muslims are CAFETERIA Muslims, picking and choosing what they will practice and remaining silent because they know that the &#039;radicals&#039; are devout Muslims practicing all of Muhammad&#039;s commands and that is why they are silent. 

Moderate cafeteria Muslims are in willful denial about the precepts of their own &#039;religion&#039; and too morally cowardly to act upon it. 

Islam and the US Constitution are completely antithetical. One or the other must expire.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Very well-written.  This stood out:

&lt;i&gt;&quot;The primary ‘argument’ of Islamic logic is—physical 
	intimidation, i.e. the explicit or implicit threat of violent reprisal 
	if you disagree with Islam in any significant way. This ‘might is right’ 
	argument is evident in many 
	statements and stories in the Koran and the hadiths (the oral traditions of 
	Islam), 
	and in consequent Islamic law (Sharia), and the consequent behavior 
	throughout history and today of Islamic régimes and groups. 
	The physical intimidation argument is used on Moslems (e.g. apostates risk 
	execution, so-called honor killings are tacitly encouraged), and against 
	non-Moslems when these are under their power (Jews and Christians are forced 
	to convert or at least pay ‘protection money’ (jizya) or be executed, 
	while other non-Moslems 
	must either convert or face death). When non-Moslems are not under their 
	power, they threaten them with deadly riots or terrorist acts. Of course, 
	verbal threats have no persuasive power if not backed up by actual violence 
	now and then.&quot;&lt;/i&gt;

In my opinion, it explains much.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Dear @Avi,


Have you read any of the many books that Ibn Warraq wrote? Please do, they are very enlightening, historically accurate for Ibn Warraq is able to translate first hand chronicles written in languages spoken by the ummah. He is also an erudite when it comes to any aspect of the western culture/ history/civilization. His knowledge is encyclopaedical. 


Reading Ibn Warraq saves you the trouble of going to gym. The adrenalin rush you get from reading him has no equal. /sarcasm off/]]></description>
