#2 First off, 200,000 as a numer is statis insignificant to both the total number of Hispanics in America + number of practicing Hispanic Christians; and Second, I doubt Hispanic women will want to stay in Islam when they realize how easily they can be divorced, that Men gener decide-approve everything, + intense, even deadly/violent, resistance to any and all forms of female property-material rights whether married or not, and under Islam or not iff married to the wrong kind of Muslim man. As for "heritage", is more related to stereotypical, so-called "Dead White Male/Male" Bashing + anti-Euro/Westernism than anything else. Women had strong pro-active family + public roles in classic, indigenous Central-South American cultures of antiquity - MORE RELATED/AKIN TO PRE-ISLAM OR EARLY ISLAM THAN CONTEMPORARY OR RADICALIST. WISH HER LUCK BECUZ SHE'S GONNA NEED IT.

#3 Quite right Joseph...not to mention the likely ban on burrito jalicos and Con Chorizos. How many would stand still for that?

#4 Muslims are peddling Islam as the authentic religion of Hispanics, while Christianity is linked with colonialism. In context of the slavish media treatment of Islam as benign, conversion is not difficult.

Muslism are winning the GWOT by attrition, because we will not wipe out organized terror groups. Terrorists already have a base in the A-B-C countries of Latin America. We will pay the piper if we accept conversion propaganda as an aspect of free exercise of religion.

A bit late I'm afraid. Been going on in penal institutions and the military for years now.

#6 Islam is strong. Liberalism is weak. Christianity has been marginalized by liberal control over many of the mainstream Protestant churches and non-stop denigration by the media culture. Too many American Jewish leaders seem more interested in fighting old liberal battles than they do in taking necessary measures such as immigration reform or promoting candidates willing to fight the war on terror.

What surprises me the most is the lack of demand by women to protect what we earned in the 20th Century. While it is no surprise that the professional womens groups such as NOW and others are nowhere to be seen - it is amazing that women are not uniting to work together against this very grave threat we are facing. In the recorded history of civilization, I'm unaware of any other era where have enjoyed the rights that we have been granted only since 1920 when we were given the vote. We are not talking about a set-back for women if Islam should prevail, but a throw back to the stone age where we become chattel to be sold and traded.

All of the above, too true.

Leftism celebrates weakness and "victimhood" as the ultimate mark of being a chic hero.

The mainstream "council of churches" Protestant denominations have bought into something called "liberation theology" which is nothing more than the wearing of a hair shirt combined with pouty, envy-driven soft-core Marxism hiding behind a Bible.

The infotainment and education industries are involved in an all-out war against Christianity and fawning propaganda for a Euro-style secular evangelist society here to replace the traditional American one.

And the comment about Jewish folks is accurate too, a lot of Jews (mercifully not all) of older (40+) generations refuse to grow beyond the idea that every white guy who goes to church every Sunday, hunts, and drives a red pickup is the greatest threat to their existence. They've built their entire worldview around this and will NEVER give it up no matter how much evidence is presented to the otherwise - they're comfortable with, even addicted to, this notion, it defines their existence, and it would be too much intellectual work to rethink their POV.

The young Hispanics wanting to join radical Islam is more a function of dispirited youth than anything else. Blacks and whites do this too. In a modern society where devout Judaism and Christianity are denigrated by the industries (infotainment and education) and by the classes who should be using their bully pulpit to trumpet our civilization's spiritual heritage, it's easily understood how some young folks going through that awkward soul-searching phase of adolescence could be led astray thusly.

#8 This defeatist nonsense is without foundation in the U. S. Europe may be going dhimmi, but not the U. S. Sure some Americans will go muzzie. Some went scientologist and some hari krishna. But it didn't stop the great American capitalist machine. And the muzzies won't either. Now, in the rest of the world, where their intimidation and fear tactics will work, there may be problems. And things will look ugly for some time. But ultimately they will overreach and be squashed. The problem is that the longer we wait, the uglier the squashing will be; but that we will be the squasher and not the squashee is unquestionable.

#9 I'm confident that many of the macho meathead Hispanic cholos will find Islam's cult of male privilege rather appealing. Hispanic women need to be clued in on what awaits them should Islam take control. I doubt that it could make any inroads against their combined power.

#10 no more euro - bravo! I completely agree with what you wrote to the point that I it was like reading my own thoughts.

Nimble, I hope that you are right and that we can get it together in time so that we can avoid the bloodshed. Because it will affect us all if we wait too long.

And Zenster - that's true. In fact I'm sure many men will like the idea of being able to own wives. At one time that was the stuff that jokes were made of - but as I said in another post, it's been that way for most of history. Women need to wake up and smell the grave threat this is presenting us.

#11 Nimble, I hope that you are right and that we can get it together in time so that we can avoid the bloodshed.

I've been misunderstood. There will be bloodshed. The question is whether the squashing involves deaths in eight digits or nine.

While this may be true of celebrity feminists and leadership of feminist organizations, it is not true of individuals. Well before the attacks on the WTC and the Pentagon, I worked with individual feminists to educate friends and family on the crimes the Taliban were committing against women and try to get governmental action on those crimes. Some of us are very committed to making sure the rights women gained in the 20th century are not lost.

As far as Hispanic women go, some may not put up enough of a fight over the anti-female cultural battles in their own homes-spousal battery and extra-marital affairs included-but you can be sure that the complete denial of their humanhood under Islam will be more effective in "activating" them. They won't roll over.

#13 I'm not so sure about the docility of Hispanic women as some of the posters here. I've met more than a few who could very easily put any vato in his place if he dared get outta line.

#14 Anon's comments are right on target. Women are the bigtime losers under islamo domination. Women can easily destroy this bassackwards cult. Why don't they ? What in the hell are they doing ? You don't hear any women speaking out. Only a few like Fallaci semm to have the faintest of clues. They should be screaming from the rooftops about deporting all Muzzies from the US now, while something can be done.

#15 Why do you think the first target of the Taliban when they return to Afghanistan are the girls' schools? That's THE answer. The fall in birth rates in a nation is also most positively corellated to years of education the women receive.

#16 Pretty much all anyone has to do to reverse this trend is put an add on the Spanish station relating that Cervesa, Tequila, and Carnitas are incompatible with Islam and the already low numbers will dwindle.
