@LoneKnight: It does my heart good to see that some people are resisting the revisionist history taught by the globalists. The first hassle the US got from Islamic extremists was in 1784 or 5 with the taking of the Betsy, and two effective wars came about in the very early 19th century because of it. Barbary one and two quieted them down for quite a while. We need to quiet them down again somehow, but the problem is, they are more than happy to die. That makes for the worst kind of enemy.

Islam is a religion which thrives only because of blind and willful ignorance. A religion lost in the 8th century with a people who give a pass to there so called radical elements. Where are the good Muslims I hear about? Are they taking to the streets demanding equal rights for women and an end to terrorism? Until we see this religion endure a real reformation, the world will suffer.
