#6 security has been stepped up around a philosophy teacher who has received death threats after writing a critical article about Islam

Once Islam achieves a significant foothold in any western country, this is the inevitable result. As Islam becomes more widely practiced here in the US, we'll see the same thing.

#7 We really need to stop protecting journalists from experiencing the consequences of their actions. When enough of them are beheaded, dragged behind trucks or burnt and hung from bridges, only then will they begin to understand that their adoration for all things Islamic may not be the wisest choice after all.

#8 Sept. 24, 2006: Egypt bans European papers for comments on Islam
Egypt has banned editions of two French and German newspapers, Le Figaro and the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, because of articles deemed insulting to Islam, the state news agency MENA said on Sunday.

Under a decree issued by Information Minister Anas el-Feki, the two editions will not be able to enter the country, it said. "They published articles which disparaged Islam and claimed that the Islamic religion was spread by the sword and that the Prophet ... was the prophet of evil," it added.

The edition of Le Figaro, dated September 19, contains an opinion piece on Islam and the Prophet Mohammad by French philosopher and high school teacher Robert Redeker. "Merciless warrior, pillager, murderer of Jews and polygamist -- that is how Mohammad portrays himself in the Koran ... Hatred and violence live in the book by which every Muslim is educated, the Koran," Redeker wrote.

The edition of the German newspaper, dated September 16, contains an article by German historian Egon Flaig looking at how the Prophet Mohammad was a successful military leader. Flaig presents other arguments supporting the view that Islam has had a violent history.

Acting the part of skinless nutjobs in an itching powder factory to a tee.
