Well – Well – Well! One of the most famous pollsters in the world has been caught validating conclusions from data that is dubious. That pollster organization is Gallup. The authors that cooked the data are John L. Esposito and Dalia Mogahed. The books title is "Who Speaks for Islam?" The end game of the book is to establish the amount of 1.6 billion of the world’s Muslims that are radical Islamists is very miniscule.
In an interview Mogahed (probably unwittingly) showed the data gathering was flawed as well as the way in which the conclusions were derived.
So again I say WAKE UP AMERICA! Mohammedan civilization is NOT compatible with Western civilization’s evolved democratic principles of Liberty, Freedom and the Pursuit of Happiness; and that especially applies to America. European democracy has been so infected with egalitarian tolerance that radical Mohammedans use Western principles to slowly infect Europe’s Western culture with the virus of Islamism.
I was alerted to this pro-Mohammedan propaganda by Act! For America in an email. The email informs this:
Cooking the Books to Mask the Number of Islamic Radicals
In a stunning illustration of how apologists for militant Islam flat-out distort the truth, Robert Satloff writes in the Weekly Standard how John Esposito and Dalia Mogahed “cooked the books” to make their own data appear to show there were only a small percentage of “radical” Muslims worldwide.
Esposito and Mogahed make the claim that only 7% of Muslims worldwide are “radical.” That amounts to about 91 million Muslims. No small number.
But a closer examination of their data reveal that the number of those who are “radical” is actually at least twice that many, and more likely three to four times that many – or between 300 million and 480 million Muslims worldwide!
To discover just how they pulled off this sleight of hand, click on the link below to read Satloff’s article.

Hans Gruen has posted a proposed version of a fictional 28th Amendment to the United States Constitution. The theme of Gruen’s Amendment is to declare Islam (I prefer Mohammedanism) NOT a religion and instead a political ideology.
Frankly I agree with Gruen’s assessment (particularly radical Islamism); however I fear the American public is not convinced Mohammedanism is more a political ideology than a religion.
One of Gruen’s commenters noted that a call for an Amendment to outlaw Mohammedanism has been thought upon already. There is even a petition going around the Internet to outlaw Mohammedanism. I am going to seek out and sign this petition; however I am fairly certain (at this point) that the lack of Jihad education in America will find this Amendment repugnant.
A grassroots movement in America needs to be started (something like Gabriel's - Act! For America - has began) to spread the word about the ideology of Mohammedanism as opposed to the religious practice of Mohammedanism.
I think a better possibility is to enact an Amendment to the Constitution declaring America a nation with a Judeo-Christian heritage without establishing any particular Jewish sect (Orthodox, Conservative or Reformed) or Christian Denominations (Variations of Protestantism, Catholicism, Eastern Orthodox etc.) as a State religion.
This would simultaneously deal with Secular Humanism war on Christianity and radical Islam.
Bin Laden has accused the Pope of stirring up the Crusades of history’s past against Mohammedanism AND threatened reprisals in Europe for doing so.
Ah if it were only true.
A Vatican spokesman denies the accusation for the Pope. The Vatican to my dismay claims to be leading efforts for dialogue with Mohammedans. If only Pope Benedict XVI would realize that showing up in Mecca for dialogue would result in loosing his head.
It is amazing the effort of Christian leaders from both Protestants and Catholics are willing to live in dhimmitude in the false hope dhimmi oppression will end the violence against the West.
Look at the history of dhimmitude of the past. It is not a pleasant scenario.

There is a Global War on Terror
America MUST Step Up to the Plate to Win
So the Lefties don’t think there is a Global War on Terror that is an illusion of G.W. Bush and Conservative War Hawks.
Let us examine some DOCUMENTED facts.
Now these facts are not all inclusive, there will probably be some that I have missed. Nonetheless the acts of Islamist Terrorism committed on Americans or American assets are well documented.
August 1982: Palestinian terrorist Mohammad Rashid is responsible for a bomb on a Pan Am flight from Honolulu, HI. One person died and several others are injured.
April 1983: Radical Shiite Muslim group takes credit for killing 63 on an attack on U.S. Embassy in Beirut, Lebanon. The mode of death is a homicidal suicide car bomb.
October 1983: 241 United States Marines murdered in their barracks by Hezbollah (Lebanonese Party of God) in Beirut, Lebanon by a bomb.
December 1983: Pro-Iranian terrorists kill six and injure others with a homicidal suicide truck bomb attack on the U.S. Embassy in Kuwait City, Kuwait.
September 1984: Islamic Jihad kills 16 at an attack on the U.S. Embassy in Beirut, Lebanon.
June 1985: Hezbollah hijacks TWA Flight 847 and takes it to Beirut and kills one American.
October 1985: Cruise ship Achille Lauro is hijacked off of Egyptian coast by Palestine Liberation Front. One 69 year old American in a wheel chair is murdered and thrown overboard.
November 1985: Egypt Air Flight 648 is hijacked by Abu Nidal's Arab Revolutionary Command and 60 are murdered. Iraq’s Saddam Hussein and Libya’s Moamar Qaddafi is named in an international Law Suit.
April 1986: A Rome to Athens TWA flight was bombed by Mohammed Rashid, Palestinian terrorist, members of Iraqi backed May 15 organization. Four are murdered.
February 1988: Hezbollah kidnaps and EXECUTES a U.S. Marine in Southern Lebanon.
December 1988: Lockerbie, Scotland, Pan Am flight 103 is bombed by Libyan Intelligence agents murdering 270. Of the deaths 189 were Americans.
Feb 26 1993: The first terrorist attack on the World Trade Center occurs. Osama bin Laden is thought to have ordered the attack and the master mind Ramzi Ahmed Yousef is convicted for the attack to 240 plus years in prison.
March 1995: Two diplomats from the Karachi, Pakistan U.S. Embassy are murdered in retaliation of the convictions surrounding the 1983 attack on the World Trade Center.
August 1998: Nairobi, Kenya, and Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, U.S. embassies are bombed simultaneously murdering 263 and injuring 5,000. Osama bin Laden is thought to be behind the attacks on American Embassies.
October 2000: The Destroyer USS Cole in the Yemeni port of Aden is attacked by Islamic terrorists killing 17. Guess who the evidence points to as behind the attack: One does not have to be a genius to connect the dots to al Qaeda’s Osama bin Laden.
September 11, 2001: This is the Islamic terrorist attack that changed the lives of Americans. Al Qaeda’s Osama bin Laden ordered terror cells to hijack planes of which the two confirmed targets were the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. The last target was suspected to be the White House but we will never know for the heroes of United Airlines Flight 93 rebelled enough that the jet crashed in Pennsylvania. Over 6,000 Americans were murdered and thousands more were injured. (Time Line Culled from simplytaty.com)
This Time Line roughly measures 19 years of attacks by murdering Islamist transnational terrorist organizations on America culminating with 9/11 when a President finally got fed up and decided to take the fight to the terrorists.
The problem being though is that President Bush could not get enough support to attack all the transnational terrorists in the Middle East because of Leftists in Europe and at home as well as big oil trading with China and Russia.
Dear God in Heaven the Leftists in this country are saying there is no Global War on Terrorism connection with Iraq.
Geez wake up! In the time line there is direct evidence of Saddam’s complicity with funding terrorist acts against American Assets. Let’s look at some more Hussein/Iraqi intent on America.
Notice the Mainstream Media has nearly written off the huge amount of secret documents form Saddam Hussein’s government. Why do you think that is?
Hello! It is because the documents demonstrate Hussein’s continued plans to support terrorism against America.
Now how was Bush able to finance an Armed invasion of Saddam Hussein’s Iraq?
Hello! Democrats of power in Congress viewed the very same Intelligence information that President Bush did concurring Saddam Hussein must be removed from a position that definitely harmed American National Interests.
Evidence shows that Bush did not deceive Congress as the Leftists are saying (for election purposes by the way) for the viewed the same Intelligence evidence. The only valid criticism of President Bush is that he wanted a pre-emptive strike on Iraq before psycho Saddam stockpiled enough chemical or nuclear WMD based on the projection of the Intelligence reports. It turns out the Intelligence Reports were way off on the Iraqi capability of serious WMD, especially the Nukes.
Although the Chemical WMD was not near as big as the Intelligence community projected, it was there. It can be shown that what was left of Saddam’s Chemical WMD was smuggled to Syria or Russia.
Some Lefties might say: Saddam is deposed, why waste American lives on Iraqis that are killing themselves?
One reason is of the little reported Iraqi Awakening. This is a movement in which Iraqis are growing weary of al Qaeda terrorism. Local Iraqi Sunnis that were with al Qaeda are leaving the transnational terrorist organization in droves forming local militias that aid the Iraq Military and the American Military hunt down al Qaeda. Places in Baghdad and Anbar Province (once havens for Terror cells) are informing on al Qaeda and have become places that people can walk down the streets in substantial relative peace. The Iraqi Awakening is even leading these militia members to join the Iraqi Military as recruits under American Military training.
Even the Shi’ites has joined the Iraqi Awakening. Many Shi’ites are leaving the pro-Iranian Mahdi Army operated by cleric Muqtada al-Sadr to also find some local peace. And of course the Kurds of the Northern Iraq have always been pro-American. The so-called insidious Iraqi civil war appears to be evaporating at a steady pace due to the American Military Surge.
Does anyone see how absurd it would be to pull out of Iraq now? Now that tribal coalitions are forming against foreign terrorist insurgents it would be the height of stupidity to leave Iraq now.
Let’s look at an analogy. World War II ended in 1945, in case Left Wing school teachers failed to teach you that fact. My point: There has been a significant American Military presence still in Germany and Japan for a war that ended 63 years ago. The Communist Chinese came to the aid of a collapsing North Korea during the Korean War and battled America to a stalemate dividing Korea into North and South Korea. In 1953 hostilities ended between North and South Korea. There is still an American Military presence in South Korea. That is 55 years after hostilities ended between North and South Korea.
As a significant victory is in America’s and the new Iraqi government’s grasp, the Dems want to pull and say defeat when the American Military is nearing the edge of victory in Iraq.
Wake up cut-n-run Americans!
Eagle’s Blog drives home an excellent point about patriotic slumber and an awakening from the slumber of radical Islam.

More Muslim Idea's on Freedom and/or Democracy
By the Eagle

The Entire Earth Must Be Subjected to Islam
"How can [he] possibly [accept humiliation and inferiority] when he knows that his nation was created to stand at the center of leadership, at the center of hegemony and rule, at the center of ability and sacrifice? How can [he] possibly [accept humiliation and inferiority] when he knows that the [divine] rule is that the entire earth MUST be subject to the religion of Allah - not to the East, not to the West - to no ideology and to NO PATH EXCEPT for the path of Allah?…""As long as this Muslim knows and believes in these facts, he will not - even for a single moment - stop striving to achieve it, EVEN IF IT COSTS HIM HIS SOUL... his time, his property, and his son, as it is said, 'Say [to the believers]: If your fathers and your sons and your brethren and your wives and your kinsfolk and the worth you have acquired and the trade, the dullness of which you apprehend, and the dwellings that you fancy are dearer to you than Allah and His Messenger, and striving in His cause, then wait until Allah issues His judgment. Allah guides not the disobedient people…'
Part II: The Blow Against the U.S. Will Come from Where Least Expected"…The [premises] on which we base ourselves as an organization, and on which we base our operations and our method of action, are practical and realistic… They are also scientific and [in accordance with] Islamic religious law, and they give us confidence and certainty… In writing them and in [publicly] revealing them, I do not intend to be apologetic for what was done; I lay [these arguments] before you so as to emphasize that we are continuing with our blows against the Americans and the Jews, and with attacking them, both people and installations [so as to stress] that what awaits the Americans will not, Allah willing, be less than what has already happened to them. America must prepare itself; it must go on maximum alert; … because, Allah willing, the blow will come from where they least expect it…"
"America is the head of heresy in our modern world, and it leads an infidel democratic regime that is based upon separation of religion and state and on ruling the people by the people via legislating laws that contradict the way of Allah and permit what Allah has prohibited. This compels the other countries to act in accordance with the same laws in the same ways… and punishes any country [that rebels against these laws] by besieging it, and then by boycotting it. By so doing, [America] seeks to impose on the world a religion that is not Allah's…"
We Have the Right to Kill 4 Million Americans
"We have not reached parity with them. We have the right to kill 4 million Americans - 2 million of them children - and to exile twice as many and wound and cripple hundreds of thousands. Furthermore, it is our right to fight them with chemical and biological weapons, so as to afflict them with the fatal maladies that have afflicted the Muslims because of the [Americans'] chemical and biological weapons."
Part I: Why We Fight the U.S.
"…Perhaps the [Islamic] nation is waiting for one Al-Qa'ida man to come out and clear up the many questions that accompany any communiqué, message, or picture [concerning September 11], to know the truth, the motives, and the goals behind the conflict with the Hubal [one of the pre-Islamic Ka'ba idols - referring to the U.S.] of our generation…""Why is the world surprised?! Why were millions of people astounded by what happened to America on September 11? Did the world think that anything else would happen? That something less than this would happen?!"
I find it interesting that one of the Democratic Party’s greatest critics (Senator Biden) of the Iraq war is calling for American troops to go to Darfur to end the genocide. I am guessing that Biden was one of the many Democrats that agreed Saddam had to have been taken out before America’s invasion to topple a genocidal-terrorist loving dictator. The reason for the invasion was Saddam’s possession of WMD or the wish to develop nuclear WMD. The WMD was not found. From that time forward Bush hating Democrats tried to simultaneously cover their political butts and rock the Republican world of its control of government by blaming Bush.
President Bush’s problem was he placed all the eggs in the WMD basket and did not emphasize the rogue state nature of Saddam’s Iraq. Saddam can definitely be linked to aiding terrorists in and there are back door connections to the likes of al-Qaeda. Saddam was the member of the Sunni minority that occupied a nearly oil-free portion of Iraq. In order to insure his grip of power Saddam slaughtered thousands of Shi’ite and Kurdish Iraqis. Should Saddam’s reign have been terminated? Definitely!
And that WMD pickle: There are many who still believe WMD was there and the Russian and/or Syrians were able to walk away with the evidence. Therein lay the Bush mistake. The military plan to topple Saddam was solid; the military plan to secure from outside interference was a debacle.
Now that I have set up a brief look of the cause and effect of the war, let us return to Joe Biden. Why would Biden favor sending Americans to a similar radical Islamist maelstrom in Sudan and complain that America should never have toppled the psychotic government of Saddam Hussein? Is Biden being compassionate? Where is the compassion for the Iraqis dieing from internecine religious conflict created by Saddam Hussein? Darfur will be the same maelstrom as Iraq.
“The war was unnecessary, Biden asserted.
“The president took us to war unncessarily, without letting the weapons inspectors finish their work, without enough troops, without the right equipment for the troops that we sent, without the proper care for those (wounded) who were taken home.” (San Francisco Sentinel 5/21/07)
Biden is 100% correct by the way. should end the genocide. America should topple the Islamofascist leadership of Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir. Also America should battle Islamofascists in Iraq. There is one thing I do agree with Biden: give up on a central democratic Iraqi government. I somewhat like Biden’s idea of an autonomous federated Iraq divided into three regions; however this will only work with an American presence as well. Why? Because of our friend (cough) enemy Iran.
A symposium on the Fort Dix Six was conducted by National Review Online. NRO provides summaries from Mary Habeck, Victor Davis Hanson, M. Zuhdi Jasser, Daniel Pipes, and Robert Spencer. The opinions of the five are all excellent. Click on the link: “symposium on the Six” to read them all.
I have to tell you the summary I found most heartening was from M. Zuhdi Jasser. I personally have no idea as to who he is; however he is the first Mohammedan that I have read (that has not deserted Mohammedanism) that has spoken out against radical Islamism and radical jihad. This is awesome! If more Mohammedans follow Jasser’s lead and the so-called majority moderate Mohammedans speak out AGAINST radical Islamist terrorists, then there is an actual indication of a transformation that will place Mohammedanism among the religions of the world of which the purpose of most is some kind of path to peace.
If I see that the so-called majority moderate Mohammedan is speaking out to condemn the hatred of radical Islamism/jihad, then I will have to afford respect by calling Mohammedanism by the name they prefer: Islam. Until that day comes I will refer to that faith (death-cult) after the name of its founder: Mohammed.
A transformed Mohammedanism would be a religion that has chosen to selectively ignore the urging of violence against those who do not believe or trust Mohammed’s message as recorded in the Quran and upheld in the Hadith, Sunna and Sharia Law.
Here is M. Zuhdi Jasser’s summary:
News of the FBI’s arrests of six militant Islamists in New Jersey who plotted to kill our soldiers at Fort Dix was met yet again with the same tired responses of shock and dismissal from the mainstream media (MSM) and from major American Islamist organizations. An FBI agent poignantly noted that we “dodged another bullet.” The enemy is certainly rearming and germinating another cell somewhere. Rather than the same old tired minority politics, we in the Muslim community should be accepting the responsibility of cleaning our own house. More Muslims, more media, and more government officials should be noting that: 1) While most Muslims have never met militants like those arrested, Muslim organizations should understand that only Muslims hold the keys to the way to overwhelm and counter the ideology which fuels these radicals. Muslim organizations should be clamoring to expose and infiltrate the ideology and sources which drove these traitors to sprout their radical cell. We need an Islamic vaccine (the separation of spiritual Islam from political Islam) to the virus which afflicted these men. Until Muslim anti-Islamists can defeat Islamism (political Islam) as an ideology, we will not make any headway at preventing the germination of the next cell. We will only be left waiting, praying, for the FBI to help us, yet again, dodge the next bullet. 2) Will the FBI’s success here answer the question as to why we need to protect each and every citizen in America who practices the principle of “see something, say something” as the heroic video-store clerk (“John Doe”) did here? What if this “John Doe” had contrarily chosen to be silent due to a fear of litigation?
3) Will we continue to deny the fact that America is not exactly that far behind Europe in our susceptibility to homegrown terror cells?
— M. Zuhdi Jasser is the chairman of the American Islamic Forum for Democracy based in Phoenix, Arizona. He is a former lieutenant commander in the U.S. Navy.
Here is previous post about the Fort Dix Six is HERE.
James Lewis is so awesomely correct. If the Medieval loving Mohammedans hate the West then let them also fear the West. The time for Politically Correctness to a group of people who only wish to end our democracies and civilized culture because it is neither Mohammedan nor lined up with Sharia Law needs to have a major paradigm shift.
Islamic radicals (which more and more are winning over so-called Moderates) refer to and the coalition of the willing as being Crusaders. They mean it as an epithet praying that the West will forgot the violence, rape, pillaging and forced conversions by Mohammedan invaders building an empire. If the West wishes this entanglement of victimhood and corresp
