 Should we blame Islam or the criminal politicians who initiated this state of affairs?

It is this reporter's opinion, having lived through the scourges of communism under Joseph Stalin and the Holocaust of Adolf Hitler, that I am in a position to point to the dangers posed by an even greater threat — radical Islam.
 
I hasten to add that I am referring only to elements of radical Islam, not mainstream Muslims. The majority of Muslims with whom we have been acquainted are decent, honest people — well educated and knowledgeable in history and current events.
 
But mainstream Muslims have an issue with which they must deal — their overall failure to combat the hijacking of their faith by a cadre of murderous ideologues. In today's America you can burn our flag, but you cannot mistreat the Quran.
 
According to my good friend talk show host Aryeh Spero, burning the flag is freedom of expression but mistreating the Quran is a criminal felony punishable under hate crime legislation.
 
If you are a radical Muslim, you can wave posters on college campuses calling for "killing the Jews," "destroying Israel," and declaring "Jews are sons of apes."
 
Many college administrators tell us this is "free speech." Recently a student at Pace University in New York was charged with a felony for stuffing a Koran in a toilet. The Council on American-Islamic Relations or CAIR, the Muslim mouthpiece, filed suit claiming it constituted a hate crime.
 
Stupid as the young student's act was, let's recall that activists have done such things with the Christian Bible, the Constitution, our flag. But when was the last time we heard of an individual in America going to jail because he flushed pages of a book down the toilet?

There are a growing number of Americans who are speaking out against radical Muslim insanity but not without violent consequences. New York Times best-selling author Robert Spencer, in spite of death threats, has written and documented, "The Truth About Muhammed: Founder of the World's Most Intolerant Religion." And more recently, "Religion of Peace?: Why Christianity Is and Islam Isn't." Spencer writes with a scalpel, every word thoroughly researched and documented.
 
The truth about Muhammed has been banned by the country of Pakistan (a hotbed of elements of radical Islam). Our nation is based on equal justice under the law — not special justice with more rights for one group over the rest of us.
 
Yet we find school administrators, apparently afraid of angry, chanting, in-your-face Muslim students, along with legal representatives from CAIR and the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) ready to charge them with racism and Islamophobia.
 
If they do not bend to the will of radical Islamic demands on campus, when was the last time evangelicals brought a college to court on the charge of "Christophobia?"
 
Yet the academics will never admit to the fear which forces them to be sensitive to every radical Islamic demand. To show you how the radical Islams fear the truth, Robert Spencer, director of Jihad Watch, faced legal action if he delivered a speech before the Young America's Foundation (YAF).
 
CAIR threatened to bring YAF to court if it allowed Spencer to deliver his talk titled, "The truth about the Council on American-Islamic Relations."
 
The CAIR attorney described Spencer as a "purveyor of hatred and bigotry" amongst Muslims. Spencer charged CAIR with being "false and defamatory." YAF President Ron Robinson commented on the attempt to stifle Spencer with these words, "I have been running this conference for 30 years and never had anyone try to exercise prior restraint of a speaker."
 
It is to be noted that Spencer in his address linked CAIR and Hamas, the largest militant movement in Palestine. It is obvious that CAIR's overriding objective is to silence all criticism of Islam and all investigation of the elements of Islam that the Islamic jihadists are using to advance their goals.
 
The oft-repeated goal of Islamic supremacy should be of grave concern to the American people and their effort to impose Sharia (Islamic) law in the United States.
 
Are Americans whose country is based on equal justice under the law willing to knuckle under to people who can burn the christian Bible but not soak a Quran, where American museums can display depictions of Mary in dung, Jesus in urine, yet prohibit demonstrating disapproval and horror regarding verses in the Quran?
 
Is it not a hate crime when radical Islam calls for the death of our children and threatens a Holocaust against non-believing infidels? Let us not forget that fear, physical fear, has caused great institutions to surrender when headed by soft spined individuals.
 
It should come as no surprise that Muslim chaplains are grabbing considerable success in our prisons. Violent felons and radical Islam are a match made in heaven and all too tragically Muslim youth are being deluded into believing that 72 virgins await each of them after committing an act of utter savagery.
 
We are facing a war on terror, an ideological conflict in which Christians, Jews, Buddhists, Hindus, atheists, and secular Muslims all have a monumental stake.
 
America — indeed the world — faces perhaps the greatest threat ever, and on all fronts we face an attempt to silence us. Radical Islam offers us a choice: Either convert to their mindless radical hostility or die!
