If he’s from the north, it’s plsbisoe…Jk!I’m with Durano, it has to start from the people, one by one, as our government/democracy isn’t going to encourage such values in the near future. I do however think it starts with one, and grows from there. Thanks for sharing!

so onpely. The moderates of Islam are much worse, as they beguile the West, while all the while the demographic threat grows. However the written texts in the Koran remain and are always binding, and moderate Muslims are well awre of that. It is clear that some Muslims have begun to realise that videod beheadings, the rape and murder of school children, all in the publicly acclaimed name of allah, are threatening the Islamic goal in the world. And hence the public appearance of moderate Muslims. We should bear in mind that the goal of Islamic hegemony remains. Only the method may change depending on circumstances.

that Britain sholud pursue a more independent policy from America, but an even larger percentage (68%) said that the current Labour Government was not doing enough to fight Islamic terrorism.As for Muslims, I too am friendly with a number of decent ones, and this site links to several Muslim sites that are well worth a visit.The problem is only incidentally Islam as a religion, and more the problem of Islam as a political entity.Since we have allowed the Saudis to pretty much purchase and control most of the mosques and madrassahs here in America (and elsewhere, it is the political, jihadi Islam that is being preached and ingrained in the younger generation…which is why Europe and the US, Australia and Canada are seeing increased terrorist activity from younger, native born Muslims.That’s a problem we’re going to have to face here eventually, just as Europe will.Regards,ff

There was much to hide.
