#1 This is nothing new : in Algeria, since 1992, the ramadan month was always marked by increased bloodshedding, as it was seen by especially favorable for holy war by local nazislamists. This is so well understood that, when it come to global jihad, european security services mobilize around christmas (infidels's celebration) and in ramadan. Only hypocrisy and "multiculturalism" prevent this from being acknowledged.

#2 "...if there is ever a time to fight Satan in all his various manifestations on Earth — including Americans and Israelis — it is Ramadan."

And if a bunch of Iraqis, Saudis, Lebanese, Kurds, and Turks get caught in the crossfire... well, I suppose Allah will kiss it and make it all better in the afterlife.

#3 "On Christmas day I open gifts. "

Likewise, during the Jewish High Holidays, I thank my Creator by praying, fasting, giving extra charity, and living with joy. It's said that Islam reveres the teachings of the Jews and Christians... it seems something got lost in the translation, yeah?

And before someone indignantly jumps up spouting, "religion of peace!", and ," those are just fringe groups of radical muslims", I'd just like to say that while every group of people has it's extreme element, I can't seem to recall ever reading a news report about Jews blowing themselves up in front of a Mosque on Yom Kippur, or Christians celebrating their Savior's birth by breaking into homes and machine-gunning mothers reading bedtime stories to their children.

#4 It's said that Islam reveres the teachings of the Jews and Christians

Well, that's said, but like many things that are said, it's a bald-faced lie. Islam claims Moses and Jesus as prophets, and says they preached exactly the same things Mohammed did, but that the Jews and Christians purposefully distorted and ignored those teachings.

So in their minds, we're the ones who lost the message in translation.

#6  in their minds, we're the ones who lost the message in translation.
Hmmmm. Seems to me I read that one of the Dead Sea scrolls was supposedly 2600 years old, and covered one of the early books of Moses. A translation by a SECULAR GROUP in England found there were very few differences between the Dead Sea Scroll and modern translations, and NONE of any true substance.

I.E., the West has truthfully transcribed the words of Moses in the Old Testament for 2600 years, but the upstart Muslims of 600AD (1200 years after the Dead Sea scroll was allegedly copied) say WE'VE made all the "translation errors". The other big problem is that the Quran has so MANY passages that are the direct antithesis of anything written in the Bible, either Old Testament or New Testament - especially the laws of the Jews found in the books of Moses.

Somebody has an attitude problem, and it ain't the folks of "the Book".

#8 GW, for a campaign promise, should solemnly vow not to have any more Islamic chaps over for Ramadan meal at the White House ever again.
