Women and Children Die First By Jeannie DeAngelis – American Thinker
In the past few months, the world has witnessed how cultures rooted in brutal, millennia-old practices treat vulnerable women and, more tragically, innocent children. Terrorist-based Islamic cultures that use women and children as human shields give new meaning to the concept of “women and children first.” In Afghanistan, individuals “accused of collaboration” with the NATO forces or with the Karzai government are immediately, and without question, executed. “Schools have been closed or burned for being un-Islamic; schoolgirls have had acid thrown in their faces, and women have been confined to home unless accompanied by a male relative.
While the ancient practice of stoning and hanging “women and children” continues in real time, Barack Obama places priority on elevating Islamic contributions to math, science, and engineering.

No time for Islam
Giant clock symbolizes religion’s expansionist aspirations. In a severe case of clock envy, Saudi Arabia has erected a nearly 2,000-foot-high timepiece intended to stake a symbolic claim for Mecca as the world’s center. Islamic scholars have proposed that the Royal Mecca Clock Tower supplant the observatory in Greenwich, England, to set the new global standard time. It is the latest form of Muslim global outreach – taking control of time itself.
The Mecca clock is as much propaganda as it is a timepiece. Its purpose is to proselytize. “In the name of Allah” is written in Arabic on the clock face, and tens of thousands of green and white lights will flash five times a day to remind people when to pray.

Lambs to the Slaughter by William Kilpatrick
I wonder now if Christians, in their naivite and in their desire to be thought tolerant, aren’t inadvertently paving the way for an eventual Islamic theocracy. It seems that quite a number of Christian churches are now involved in “outreach” programs with local mosques. The typical outreach is for a church to invite an Islamic leader to come in and explain Islam to the congregation. Naturally, the imams present Islam as a religion of peace and love. And naturally in their desire to appear loving and accepting, the Christians lap it up.

France: Priests and bishops refuse to baptize Muslim converts to Christianity, for fear of the consequences.
Why do Muslims engage in violent intimidation? Because it works. Until people are willing to stand up and defy it, it will continue to work.

Should We Tolerate Intolerance? John Zmirak – InsideCatholic.com
Two weeks ago, I pointed out how our leadership today is addling its wits and soothing its nerves when it comes to the non-negotiable agenda of orthodox Islam: an intolerant, theocratic state where non-Muslims are systematically humiliated, women are forever fixed in the status they attained in seventh-century Arabia, and other faiths are treated like venereal diseases — which must be firmly controlled if they cannot be eradicated. Today’s Muslim supremacists want tolerance for their intolerance, until they are strong enough to squash us

Canadian Council of Muslim Women opposes addition of honor killings to Criminal Code
Muslims commit 91 percent of honor killings worldwide. Someone who kills his child incurs no legal penalty under Islamic law. Nonetheless, the media drumbeat is constant: honor killings have nothing to do with Islam.
