Forgive my being a weenie, Lord!
One of my astute readers pointed out to me in an email that in my post about NZ Bear's "War of the Memes," I was skirting around the conclusion that Islam is Evil. Which I was.
In my mind, if one of America's key aims in the War Effort is to convince all 1-2 billion Muslims that their religion is Evil and in the end, rather useless as a way to LIVE a happy, fruitful existence in a Free Society, that strikes me as a rather daunting task, but with God all things are possible, of course.
I am a Christian and as such, perhaps the only one in the warblogging world (what the deal is with all the blogging Gentile atheists, I have no idea. Guess it's still not "hip" or "cool" to be a Christian. It has ever been thus.)
Naturally, I believe as a Christian that Islam is a fraud of a religion.
We believe that Jesus Christ was the only Son of God and that belief in Him is the only way to God.
But even from what I've learned about Islam and the teachings of the Koran, it's STILL theologically vacant on its own terms and as my correspondent pointed out, Islam DEMANDS that its faithful KILL all non-believers in Islam.
Mohammed, in effect, issued a fatwa against all non-Muslims in the Koran that has no expiration date. EVER.
As long as this is true and to the extent that any of its followers hold this belief in murderous jihad to be true, Islam will remain Evil and a Religion of DEATH and cannot be allowed to flourish as a viable belief system.
So am I calling for us to conduct a counter Judeo-Christian CRUSADE? Yeah! You bet.
As Rudy Guiliani so aptly said," They're Wrong and We're Right."
