A new study by some West Point scholars reveals that Al Qaeda has killed more fellow Islamists than Westerners. In fact, they have killed eight times as many! This may surprise some, but those of us who are familiar with the Quran and Muslim history are not surprised at all. Mohammed had no sympathy for his fellow Muslims who refused to fight with “might and means” against those who opposed him in Medina. He taught them that fighting was “prescribed” for them even though they did “not like it.”

Both the Quran and the Hadiths [alleged "sayings of Mohammed"] repeatedly urge violence against the so-called “hypocrites” and others who befriend Jews and Christians. The Quran specifically instructs Muslims to “make no friends with Jews and Christians,” and those who do make such friends are guilty [in the minds of faithful Muslims] of heresy, and worthy of the same fate [subjugation, punitive taxation or extermination].

The Quran specifically forbids the occupation of the Arabian Peninsula by non-Muslims. As long as the people of Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan or other Muslim countries even tolerate the presence of US military or other non-Muslim personnel on Muslim territory, their people are classified as enemies of Al Qaeda. Terrorist organizations like Al Qaeda are particularly angered when the citizens of Islamic countries welcome American troops. The actions of Al Qaeda are motivated and outlined by the teaching of the so-called “Holy Quran.” This is a politically incorrect observation, but it is nonetheless true. I hope that at least our State Department and military are aware of this fact. Obviously, our current president doesn’t know it [or perhaps he does, and you just can't tell it from his Islam-friendly rhetoric].

Incidentally, as the recent killing of seven CIA operatives by a [Muslim] double-agent illustrates, this works both ways. True Muslims are firmly committed to the principles of the Quran. American soldiers, operatives and contractors must be very careful about the extent to which they trust the Muslims with whom they work. Obviously, some Muslims do not take a literal interpretive approach to the Quran, and are, consequently, fairly safe and trustworthy. However,  Muslims who fully embrace the Mohammedan jihadist view of Islam can be very dangerous. They are actually instructed in the Quran to give the appearance of cooperation [and even surrender] as a military tactic. The reality is that Muslims are commanded to “MAKE NO FRIENDS WITH JEWS OR CHRISTIANS.” This necessarily means that any gesture of peace or agreement is a pretense [at least with Quran literalists].

The objective of Islam is world conquest, ideologically and physically. Let us not forget this.

Scott Roeder, the man who admitted to killing Kansas abortion doctor George Tiller back in May, has been convicted of first degree murder. He faces a life sentence in prison, with the possibility of parole in 25 years.

Roeder did not try to deny the charges. He admitted to the killing and testified in court that he acted in order to stop Tiller from harming anymore unborn children. It was an intriguing defense. But expectedly, it did not work. The jury took just 37 minutes of deliberation to reach a verdict.

Some will want to debate whether or not Roeder was justified in this killing. I don’t intend to discuss that here. But there are some other observations I’d like to make:

South Carolina lieutenant governor Andre Bauer has gotten himself into a bit of hot water over a comment he made last week. Some Democrats have condemned his statement as “immoral” and “reprehensible.” What did he say that was so bad?

“My grandmother was not a highly educated woman, but she told me as a small child to quit feeding stray animals. You know why? Because they breed! You’re facilitating the problem if you give an animal or a person ample food supply. They will reproduce, especially ones that don’t think too much further than that.” [Story]

It’s no wonder that Democrats jumped all over the chance to portray a Republican as being insensitive towards the poor. The Democrats live for this. The only way they can win elections is by convincing the poor that the Democrats care about them and will help them, while the Republicans will not. Regardless of the facts, this argument has helped the Democrats obtain public office for decades.

But there is one thing that should not be lost in discussing the comment from Bauer. Could he have used a better analogy? Probably. But here’s what we ought to remember: The reality behind the metaphor is absolutely true.

Are there people on welfare in genuine need? Sure there are. But are there also people who abuse the system, individuals who choose to remain on welfare instead of working for themselves, children who learn dependency upon government rather than hard work and personal responsibility? Absolutely.

The government should feel no obligation to help those who are unwilling to help themselves. Helping such people is not compassion, but rather it is enabling them to be irresponsible, immature, and lazy. It is not a sustainable practice for a nation. Thomas Jefferson said, “The democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those who are willing to work and give to those who would not.”

The government needs to be more prudent with its handouts. Individuals need to be encouraged to overcome their adversities and take responsibility for themselves, rather than remaining enslaved to government dependency.

There was an interesting story on FoxNews.com the other day about the search engine Google appearing to censor search queries about Islam. The original story can be found here: What’s Islam? Don’t Ask Google.

When you use Google’s search engine, as you type in your search query, a box will appear below your search entry. This box will contain other popular search phrases that are similar to the words you have typed so far. For example, if you type “NFL,” you’ll see search phrases like, “NFL playoffs tv schedule,” “NFL playoff picture,” and so on.

You can also do this with various religions. If you type “Christianity is,” you will see the following results. Notice that every one of these contains an unfavorable description of Christianity.
