Almost wrote "Quiz on Is".....but that wouldn't help in the index-search.
So Zmirak interviewed William Kilpatrick, who is actually an expert on Islam, without the fire-and-brimstone of Pam Geller. Z asked K for a short list of Things You Must Know, following publication of Kilpatrick's book What Catholics Need to Know About Islam. Knowing my audience--all 12 of you--it's also useful for Protestants.
I wrote the book in order to present a fuller picture of Islam than is generally available to Catholics and other Christians.
In the Catholic Church, for instance, clergy and educators have for decades promoted a highly misleading view of Islam. One might add that it’s a dangerously misleading view because it leaves Christians unprepared for the dangerous realities of Islam. In short, Catholic leaders are guilty of covering-up Islam’s extremism.
The top five myths that Church leaders promote are as follows:
- Islam is a religion of peace; Islam has nothing to do with violence.
- Islam has much in common with Christianity, including a similar moral code, and similar ideas about marriage, family, and sexuality.
- The vast majority of Muslims are moderate.
- Jihadists misunderstand Islam. They have perverted a great religion. Luckily, they are only a tiny minority.
- Many Christians also misunderstand Islam. They suffer from “Islamophobia” — an irrational fear of Islam that can be overcome through dialogue.
Many in the media and in government share and promote the same deceptive myths about Islam. Much of our failure to resist the spread of Islam stems from these myths.
K is right, as any brief study of the period beginning ~700 AD through ~1600 AD will show. Those Crusades were fought against Taliban, and Europe was defended from Taliban. No matter the propaganda of Islamists and such pleasant ignorami as Bush the Dumber or--more recently--E. Michael Jones, Islam is deadly serious.
And I mean deadly.
Read the rest and learn something. Then buy more ammo.
LOL, expert on Islam. The guy is a fraud.
ReplyDeleteYou can prove that, right?

.......Suppose that the Democrats squeeze out a win in the presidential election in two weeks. And suppose that, shortly afterward, new revelations provide overwhelming evidence that it was rigged. Should Republicans simply shrug their shoulders and say, “Oh well, there’s nothing we can do at this point. We’ll just have to hope we can recapture the presidency in the next election”?
That would be an anemic and cowardly response to a massive fraud. A stolen election is no small thing. It’s a crime of epic proportions. And justice demands that the crime be rectified, even if that requires investigations, impeachments, and removal from office. To wait it out and hope for the best would be highly irresponsible. It would give the Democrats four more years to solidify their power, four more years of executive orders and congressional legislation designed to deprive ordinary citizens of their rights while expanding the reach of government. In addition, it would mean four more years of illegal immigration — ensuring Democrats of a permanent voting majority and resulting in the formation of a one-party state. In short, the “wait-it-out” strategy would result in the extinction of the Republican Party.
Yet, Catholics are currently faced with a similar scenario — and many seem to have opted for the “let’s-wait-it-out-and-hope-for-the-best” response.
Packing the Electoral College
Some claim that the election of Jorge Bergoglio to the papacy was invalid, either because the election was rigged or because former Pope Benedict XVI’s resignation was invalid. Others suggest that even if his election were valid, Bergoglio has lost the papacy due to numerous instances of public heresy and should therefore be removed.
Indeed, in an October 13 sermon,a well-known Italian priest, Fr. Giorgio Maria Faré, cited all three of these reasons (and a few more) why the “so-called Pope Francis” is not the true pope, and he called on Catholics to resist his heretical teachings. The sermon, which is in Italian, has since gone viral...........
