The PTB are working hard at making Islam the new 'Cold War Demon' in the minds of westerners. Here is the content plan of a new documentary, soon to be released in the US, by Daniel Pipes.

ISLAM: What the West Needs to Know
An examination of Islam, violence, and the fate of the non-Muslim world.
98 mins
Main Idea
Virtually every major Western leader has over the past several years expressed the view that Islam is a peaceful religion and that those who commit violence in its name are fanatics who misinterpret its tenets. This claim, while widely circulated, rarely attracts serious public examination. Relying primarily on Islam’s own sources, this documentary demonstrates that Islam is a violent, expansionary ideology that seeks the destruction or subjugation of other faiths, cultures, and systems of government.
Content
The documentary consists of original interviews, citations from Islamic texts, Islamic artwork, computer-animated maps, footage of Western leaders, and Islamic television broadcasts. Its tone is sober, methodical, and compelling.
Outline of the Documentary
Introduction
We hear from prominent Western leaders that Islam is peaceful and that those who commit violence in its name are heterodox fanatics.
Part 1: ‘There is no God but Allah and Muhammad is his Prophet’Our interviewees affirm their belief that Islamic violence is entirely orthodox behavior for Muslims and stems directly from the teachings and example of the Prophet Muhammad and the commands of the Koran. We learn that the example of Muhammad is one of a violent warlord who killed numerous people. The Koran – the verbatim words of Allah – prescribes violence against non-Muslims and Muhammad is the perfect example of the Koran in action.
Part 2: The Struggle
We learn that jihad, while literally meaning 'struggle', in fact denotes war fought against non-Muslims in order to bring the rule of Islamic law to the world. Violent death in jihad is, according to the Koran, the only assurance of salvation. One of our interviewees tells of his personal involvement in terrorism and his leaving Islam.
Part 3: Expansion
Following the death of Muhammad, his 'rightly-guided' successors carried his wars to three continents, fighting, enslaving, and massacring countless Christians, Jews, Zoroastrians, Hindus, and others. Islam did not spread through evangelism or through its natural appeal, but through aggressive wars of conquest. The Crusades were largely a belated response on the part of Christian Europe to rescue Christians in the Holy Land suffering under Muslim oppression. The Muslim world today, while no longer the unified empire of the Caliphs, is exceptional for being responsible for the vast majority of conflicts around the world and for almost all of international terrorism.
Part 4: ‘War is Deceit’
A great problem with Western efforts to understand Islam is due to the Islamic principle of 'religious deception', which enjoins Muslims to deceive non-Muslims in order to advance the cause of Islam. Muslim groups today in the West employ deception and omission to give the impression that 'Islam is a religion of peace', an utter fiction.
Part 5: More than a Religion
The most important characteristic of Islam not understood by the West is that it is more a system of government than a personal religion. Throughout its history, Islam has never recognized a distinction between the religious and the secular/political. Islamic law governs every aspect of religious, political, and personal action, which amounts to a form of totalitarianism that is divinely enjoined to dominate the world, analogous in many ways to Communism.
Part 6: The House of War
Islamic theology divides the world into two spheres locked in perpetual combat, dar al-Islam (House of Islam - where Islamic law predominates), and dar al-harb (House of War - the rest of the world). It is incumbent on dar al-Islam to fight and conquer dar al-harb and permanently assimilate it. Muslims in Western nations are called to subvert the secular regimes in which they now live in accordance with Allah's command. Due to political correctness and general government and media irresponsibility, the danger posed by observant Muslims in the West remains largely unappreciated. |

The Koran is full of text used by those who espouse violence as a means of commiting such acts.
The Talmud is full of text used by those who espouse violence as a means of commiting such acts.
The Bible is full of text used by those who espouse violence as a means of commiting such acts.
All religious belief must come first from a particular interpretation of the text upon which that religion is based. Any follower of any reigion can find any obscure and vague passage and use it as justification for any action or belief.
I see no difference between any of the major religions in this regard, and i certainly do not view Islam as an inherently violent or dangerous religion. Certainly no more so than any other.
Anyone who condemns the religious violence carried out by Muslim fundamentalists, but does not acknowledge the religious violence carried out by Jewish fundamentalists is engaging in hypocracy.
To speak out against the threat of Sharia law against western political systems is entirely failing to examine with the same critical nature the threat posed by Christian fundamentalists and their desire for political/religious unification.
Criticism, at this point in time, of Islam in the manner discribed above reveals its true intent all too easily: A propaganda campaign tied to the war on terror with the aim of providing justification of the actions carried out against largely Muslim populations around the world.
For an example of what social engineering this type of propaganda is aimed at shaping, please watch this clip;

if people in goverment actually gave negociating a chance we would not be in this mess, all the disagrements are between leaders, not the majority, why do we hate eachother so much because of this. i see hate all over the world and it sadens me. i know theres issues but fighting each other will only bring the end of the world,religons,and mankind itself. its like when 9/11 happened only a few people were responsible yet every one in afghanistan and iraq was attacked. england was bombed by the ira for decades yet you never saw us attacking ireland due to a few. come on people we have to get a grip this is a race provoked situation we must not fall for it. its like the cricket game between england and pakistan. the west and east might not like each other policy's and way of living but we need to stop hating and comprimise with one and other, and stop the insanity, the world issues are leading to the end for all, and there will be noone left or a world to live in to continue our traditions religously or not. who will prey to any god when theres noone left to prey. u.s and iran need to talk as much as they dislike each other but i know it wont happen, therefor i know mankind has failed and are a disgrace, we thought ourselves to be intellegent, nothing can be more wrong our intellagence will destroy us if world war 3 breaks out, we must all stand united and fight the problems of this world not eachother. |
