#1 If true, this is the real payoff for the troops blood, sweat, and tears.

#2 The young are the most disillusioned with Islam. A little bit of fanning and the flame of disenchantment will erupt into full rebellion. Can't happen soon enough.

#3 Until they find a leader for their 'Protestant' revolution, its not going to change. Even then, if history is any benchmark, it's not going to be pretty either. Deus vult*

*Ironically, the motto of the Crusades :)

#4 Stop dreaming about the Protestant revolution. Protestantism was a rebellion against a Church who was supposed to have strayed away from the Christ.

But Muhammad's message is aboutr Jihad, opression of women, of dhimmis, of a Kim il Sungian personality cult (telling five times a day that Muhammad is the best, ever telling "God bless him" every time they utter their name). We donb't want eople trying to be more faithful to his message (BTW Islam has already had its protestnbat revolution: it is called wahabism) means more jihad.

What they need to find is aleader for hanging mullahs.

#5 I read a great interview yesterday at Frontpage with a young guy named Hossain Salahuddin. Worth checking out if you're interested in reading the story of a young man who became disillusioned with islam once the words of the koran were translated into his native tongue. By the age of 12 he was able to recite the koran by memory, but didn't know what he was reading. By age 14 he had read translations of the koran into his native language. Once he was aware of what he was being taught he broke away. Highly recommend the interview for your reading pleasure.

#7 One of the lesser known aspects of the islam cult, is the fact that the "prophet" tried to convert to Judaism, as the "prophet" of the Jews. That occurred after he left Mecca in order to prepare to attack it. When Jews rejected his claims he turned on them, exterminating male members of several tribes while turning women into sex booty. The only name used by Muhammad to describe his cult was "din." That has been erroneously translated to mean: generic religion. Islam isn't a religion; it is a political ideology to which the indoctrinated must believe is the absolute inalterable truth, and which prescribes a complete order within which all human conduct is framed. As an ideology it is an aspect of power dynamics, wherein authority rests on extreme and brutal force. The motto for the Arab murder cult should be: believe it, or believers will kill you. Islam is the worst form of tyranny ever concocted.

#8 JFM: The one way out of the hole for Muslims is a reformation. Right now, for the first time, Turkey is sponsoring a major re-write of their religion to, bluntly, ignore the bad parts as doctrine and emphasize the less obnoxious parts.

It *is* hypocritical. Amazingly so. And yet it can work. And it all boils down to one thing:

"What Mohammed meant when he said that, was..."

So if Mohammed said to kill, what he meant was not to kill, but to be a good person...

So if Mohammed said to amputate and behead, what he meant was not to actually do that, but to be a good person...

Yes, if done properly, it is utterly shameless. But it works. It gives the vast, non-violent majority an excuse both to remain non-violent, and to condemn the minority that act like animals.

Just yesterday, I noted how Iraqi Shiites in Syria were whacking themselves on their heads until they bled. But the urbane Syrian Shiites found this to be primitive and uncultured. Same religion, but a different approach.

No. Turkey Classifying Not Revising Hadith
Eighty scholars from 23 Turkish universities are working on a major project to classify and translate the Hadith (the collection of sayings of Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him).

"Make no mistake, we are not after modifying or revising the Hadith," Mehmet Gormez, deputy director of the religious affairs authority Diyanet and supervisor of the project, told IslamOnline.net in a phone interview. "What we are actually doing is re-classifying, re-categorizing the Hadith and translating it into Turkish, no more no less."

#10 Stop dreaming about the Protestant revolution.

One needs to only read their Holy Bible to see.
Coming to YOUR future.

Psalm 83 (coalition of islamic nations come against Israel in end times, written 1,600 years Before islam)

Isaiah 17 Destruction of Damascus, Judea (west bank0, Moab,(Jorden) written 1,200 years before islam.

Ezeikel 38-39 (coalition of islamic nations headed by Russia come against Israel in end times written 1,000 years before islam)

islam cannot be reformed. Why?
It was born of satan in defiance to Gods will.

Great quote.
