Let Islam Prove It's a Religion of Peace

Great piece by Tawfik Hamid in the Wall Street Journal

Scholars in the most prestigious Islamic institutes and universities continue to teach things like Jews are "pigs and monkeys," that women and men must be stoned to death for adultery, or that Muslims must fight the world to spread their religion. Isn't, then, Mr. Wilders's criticism appropriate? Instead of blaming him, we must blame the leading Islamic scholars for having failed to produce an authoritative book on Islamic jurisprudence that is accepted in the Islamic world and unambiguously rejects these violent teachings.

Read it all. It's pretty short.

Jihadists in their own words: How Islam will take over the UK

UK jihadist Anjem Choudary describes the ways in which the UK could become a Muslim country, and in doing so makes these ominous statements:

Who else has an ideology...that believes to overthrow any government? Nobody does. The Buddhists don't, the Hindus, Sikhs, nobody...Nobody has this agenda on them, to implement the shari'a and remove regimes. Only the Muslims.

[...]

There are three types of Muslims: those who are in prison, those on their way to prison, and those who are not practicing. Really. If you abide by the shari'a in your life, you are in one of those categories, one of the first two. Must be. Otherwise, you're doing something wrong.

Watch it all.

Rick Santorum at Stanford

Former senator from Pennsylvania Rick Santorum spoke at Stanford today about the War on Terror and his views on the best way to proceed in the current conflict with what he called "aggressive, expansionist Islam." He was invited by the Stanford Review and Stanford College Republicans.

One highlight was when Senator Santorum took issue with those who say we are at war with terrorists who "just happen to be Muslims," exclaiming, "That's false! It has everything to do with Islam!" These are people who are trying to impose their values an their culture on us, which "is antithetical to Western culture," he explained.

Overall, it was an excellent speech. Senator Santorum has clearly done his research on this topic, and it's a shame more elected officials don't share his views on this.

A reporter from the Stanford Review was there, so expect a full-length article on the event about a week and a half from now.

There were a handful of protesters hanging around outside the entrance, apparently expecting the senator to speak about his "reprehensible" views on gay rights and abortion.

Hey, guys! The election was 4 months ago! Get over it!

There was actually an excellent turnout. About 150 people showed up.
