In the seventh century of the Christian era, a wandering Arab of the lineage of Hagar, the Egyptian, combining the powers of transcendent genius, with the preternatural energy of a fanatic, and the fraudulent spirit of an impostor, proclaimed himself as a messenger from Heaven, and spread desolation and delusion over an extensive portion of the earth. Adopting from the sublime conception of the Mosaic law, the doctrine of one omnipotent God; he connected indissolubly with it, the audacious falsehood, that he was himself his prophet and apostle. Adopting from the new Revelation of Jesus, the faith and hope of immortal life, and of future retribution, he humbled it to the dust, by adapting all the rewards and sanctions of his religion to the gratification of the sexual passion. He poisoned the sources of human felicity at the fountain, by degrading the condition of the female sex, and the allowance of polygamy; and he declared undistinguishing and exterminating war, as a part of his religion, against all the rest of mankind. THE ESSENCE OF HIS DOCTRINE WAS VIOLENCE AND LUST: TO EXALT THE BRUTAL OVER THE SPIRITUAL PART OF HUMAN NATURE.

Between these two religions, thus contrasted in their characters, a war of twelve hundred years has already raged. That war is yet flagrant; nor can it cease but by the extinction of that imposture, which has been permitted by Providence to prolong the degeneracy of man. While the merciless and dissolute dogmas of the false prophet shall furnish motives to human action, there can never be peace upon earth, and good will towards men. The hand of Ishmael will be against every man, and every man’s hand against him. It is, indeed, amongst the mysterious dealings of God, that this delusion should have been suffered for so many ages, and during so many generations of human kind, to prevail over the doctrines of the meek and peaceful and benevolent Jesus (Blunt, 1830, 29:269, capitals in orig.).

The precept of the koran is, perpetual war against all who deny, that Mahomet is the prophet of God. The vanquished may purchase their lives, by the payment of tribute; the victorious may be appeased by a false and delusive promise of peace; and the faithful follower of the prophet, may submit to the imperious necessities of defeat: but the command to propagate the Moslem creed by the sword is always obligatory, when it can be made effective. The commands of the prophet may be performed alike, by fraud, or by force (Blunt, 29:274).

Before Foil removed slick's (and most islam apologists') refrain of '2 billion inoffensive muslim human beings,' I can respond (as I always have) that I DO NOT generalize about individual muslims- nor to I "hate muslims."

However, there is a very large and concerning portion of muslim adherents that want to impose the totalitarian system of law and religion known as islam upon the whole of humanity- no matter what slick says.

The numbers show your ridiculous theatrics concerning Islam are unwarranted, but then again you aren't really interested in the numbers are you? No numbers will convince you. Yes, there are problems in the Islamic world. No, you are not in danger by any stretch of the imagination.

That, in and of itself shows a complete lack of understanding of the US Constitution, or(more likely) a willing suspension of belief in it to grind an ax about Muslims. Nothing about 'former' status in the Special Forces or the CIA(fountain of misinformation at times anyway) impresses me. One actually should wonder how they got to 'former' status. Fired, perhaps?

As to being "former" I don't suppose they could of been wounded to the point of not being able to handle the duties being a special forces soldier? Nice try on denigrating the reputation of perhaps a heroic individual. Of course to the left, one always has to view soldiers and marines with suspicion.
