The important French web site, Bivouac, made an important observation. One Florida pastor, a certain Pastor Terry Jones, received massive MSM condemnation from media in the USA and abroad, most notably in the UK, for planning to burn copies of the Koran which were his personal property. He wished to do this as a statement about how Muslims treat Christians and other non Muslims around the world, and demand to build Mosques in the US right where thousands of unsuspecting American civilians were slaughtered at work by Muslims in the name of Islam. Agree with him or not, the media attention he received was not flattering and was copious.
Contrast that with this story:
Islamic Militants Destroy Underground Christian Library in Somalia
In the above story, the Christian books were not the property of Al Shabaab. They were forcibly taken (Stolen is not a strong enough term) and burned en masse in the city centre to make a very strong statement about how any religion other than Islam will not be tolerated. Yet the mainstream media is deadly silent. One has to get this from essentially underground Christian press, which seems to be the last bastion of freedom of speech and accurate reporting left on Earth.
last sentence ist true, i discovered them for myself, too
When the Nazis burned books, it was considered an affront to free speech and human dignity.
When Muslims burn books, it becomes “cultural” and is rarely reported.
When freedom-loving people protest Islam by burning the koran, their lives become forfeit at the hands of Muslims.
Is it any wonder that I oppose everything that is Islam?
My view, long held, is that we need to have a separation from the islamic world. As a start one needs to take them at their own words and agree wholeheartedly, that there is indeed a dar ul islam and a dar ul harb, and for the good of humanity, infidels and muslims alike, it is better to live apart in respective nations.
It is a sad fact that muslim presence anywhere leads to discomfort of other already established communities. Soon the established community will leave or forced out by Jihad by mob violence, and yet another region becomes dar ul islam.
Separation has one advantage – Muslim nations, left to their own devices, unable to export their excess population, an ever deteriorating infrastructure, increasing poverty and diminishing military power, will have no alternative but to reform islam. And even if they do not, they will not be a menace to the safety and security of the rest of the world, for the simple reason that they will not have access to harvest infidel lives. Harsh as this is, it is the most humane way to progress.
What frightens me is that we are moving towards a new world war that is quite unlike previous world wars. This world war will be a civil war ie a global civil war – the very worst type imaginable. Else we are looking forward to a Three Conjecture scenario (Google), leading to deaths on an unprecedented scale.
Separation leaves hope for the future for everybody. Islam will collapse quite quickly in historic terms if it is unable to expand (that is after all its main reason), and thus release the 1 billion souls in its enslavement.
Politically impossible at the moment? – Yes. Yet precedents are there in recent history, where exchanges of populations were considered the only way to secure a reasonably peaceful outcome.
Recent exchanges of populations
India – Pakistan
Greece – Turkey
Cyprus
As far as the left is concerned it is OK to persecute Christians since they want to destroy Christianity, and they are thinking that this is blacks attacking blacks so they can’t say anything with out being racist under their own terms for racism.

I think what you’re saying is that the West needs to isolate and contain the Islamic countries while putting the brakes on expansion, thus starving the religion of the conquests it needs in order to survive and grow. The most urgent part of this formula, then, is Muslim immigration, which must be halted immediately, especially in light of polling results which indicate that in an average crowd of a hundred Pakistanis, you are looking at a good couple of dozen Taliban supporters –especially if those Pakistanis are young. Muslim immigration is a fifth column, and even if they are the nicest, most moderate people in the world, there is no guaranteeing that their sons won’t pick up the Quran and decide to follow the will of Allah. I think you are suggesting that we should create the ideal conditions for the dissolution of Islam. That would be a very good idea. Nobody wants to say such a bodacious thing, but our only chance is to destroy Islam and consign it to the dustbins of history. Let the Persians be Persians and the Egyptians be Egyptians once again. Fourteen hundred years is long enough.
Chris I pray we can do that but am doubtful it will be done any time soon.
