Ann Coulter on Islam

Ann Coulter is brilliant, insightful, and hilarious. What a combo. She has her own perceptive and witty take on the "Religion of Peace", i.e. Islam.

See her column here.

Defeating Islam

Reading the columns of conservative scholar Thomas Sowell is always an enlightening event. Unfortunately, it can be quite dismal, too. For Sowell shoots straight and doesn't mince words.

Sowell has noted recently that it won't be long until those in the terrorist regime will have the sort of nuclear weapons to literally destroy America as they consistently proclaim they'll do. Anyone who doubts that such dedicated Muslims will follow through with their threats needs to better understand the enemy.

As an American not serving in the military, it's hard to know what to do to help the country in such troubling times. As an amateur philosopher and writer, however, I do have something in mind: namely, attack Islam not pejoratively, but intellectually and show its ideas false and harmful.

If I and other writers in religion complete such a project successfully and make it widespread among Americans, I see at least two things occurring. First, it will help reveal to many that Islam is not something to be respected or taken seriously as a religious faith. This will diminish the number of those converting to Islam and possibly reach some of those presently in its camp. And decreasing the number of Muslims in the world can only help the American cause. Secondly, exposing Islam's false and radically harmful ideas and tenets will reveal to those sympathetic that this is a faith not to be respected, ignored, or taken lightly. We ought to shun Islam and attack Islamic terrorists before they attack us again. At its core, Islam is a hateful, unintellectual faith conveying a diminished concept of God, one which denies Christ His place as God and Creator. Islam is simply idolatry and a violent sort at that.

I hope to have some posts taking aim at the Muslim faith, showing its falsehoods and myths, all the while mulling over other ways to contribute to the American cause.
