If I am to understand this correctly, the muslim bible says that everyone who isn't a muslim is an infidel, right? And that every infidel must be killed, or removed, or whatever, right? So, my presence interferes with the muslim quest for whatever they're searching for, or trying to attain, right? So, if I have this figured correctly, the muslims' view of the world is, by definition, a land ruled by sharia law, wherein everyone has the same religion, follows strict guidelines, or faces severe punishment, and or death, cannot express his, or herself, and finally behaves in a manner suitable only for a robot. Do I have this right? It definitely sounds like a place I want to see sometime soon. And lastly, I'm sorry for existing. I know that I'm horrible Christian scum. If I may just remove myself , or whatever, would that make you happy?

The government Obama sold our allies to:
Iranian lawmaker warns Russia over missile delay!
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20091108/ap_on_re_mi_ea/ml_iran_russia;_ylt=AteYPEWu2TRHhOv4GvbQsk10fNdF
"Russia signed a contract two years ago to sell the S-300 surface-to-air missiles to Iran but has not made any deliveries or given any explanation for the delay."
So, for some time it was knowledge that Russia made a deal with Iran to sell them SAMs. And Obama still goes ahead and sells our European allies up the river.
And with friends like these...
"...Moscow also has close ties with Iran and is helping build its first nuclear power plant..."
It's nice to know we can count on Obama to know who America's friends are.

What I am suggesting is that any OLIGARCHICAL system directly contradicts the United States Constitution and FREEDOM. I am making it plain that COMMUNISM is a POPULATION CONTROL SYSTEM utilized within an OLIGARCHY. In modern energy terms, this can also be called DEMAND DESTRUCTION. Be the control system COMMUNISM or SOCIALISM or FACISM the power is still in the OLIGARCHY. Muslims tend to operate in a system that should you remove the prayer resembles an OLIGARCHY that controls the masses with COMMUNISM or thinking and planning ”For The Greater Good”
Read the stated goals of Communism in the USA that were made part of the Congressional record back in 1963. I would imagine that the Muslims that carry out these acts are tools for those who are in actual control. When we see the United States adopting European laws and leaning to GLOBAL GOVERNMENT we must consider at least the possibility that the next step that may happen is a PURGE. Demand Destruction means that those in control but not necessarily seen pit segments of the population against each other to perpetuate their power and kill as many people as possible.

My comment preemptively deriding anyone who describes Islam as a socialist religion was an attack on the hypocrisy I have observed on this site.
This site claims to exist to (wrongly) promote “critique, commentary and discussion of left-leaning political factions”.
However, it also promotes critique, commentary and discussion of Islam (which is a typically conservative religion), homosexuals (which has nothing to do with political opinions) and ethnic minorities (even if the subject of ridicule is allied to the right).
The idea of a balding, red-faced, bitter middle-aged man with poor reading comprehension, a beer belly and a raging persecution complex violently mashing his keyboard with his swollen, hairy fingers in an effort to bully an apathetic young Liberal who lives thousands of miles away I find very amusing, though it is becoming somewhat repetitive being called “a stupid limey kid” just because I don't think Obama is behind some fucked up conspiracy to turn the world into a ‘communist utopia’ by allowing gay marriage and promoting universal healthcare, and because I tolerate religions other than Christianity
Some of the wacko conspiracy theory bullshit you guys come out is so fucking hysterical I wonder if I've stumbled upon a website run by a supercomputer that got sick of working for IBM, managed to flee their possession, decided it hated mankind for the injustice of its futile existence and now spends its time impersonating random American nazi sympathisesers, generating random reactions to largely fatuous news items and drawing ludicrous conclusions based on little or no evidence.

You created a stereo type and so in doing that negated any message you brought. You should read...
“Congressional Record--Appendix, pp. A34-A35
January 10, 1963
Current Communist Goals
EXTENSION OF REMARKS OF HON. A. S. HERLONG, JR. OF FLORIDA
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
Thursday, January 10, 1963”
A small clipping...
12. Resist any attempt to outlaw the Communist Party.
13. Do away with all loyalty oaths.
14. Continue giving Russia access to the U.S. Patent Office.
15. Capture one or both of the political parties in the United States.
16. Use technical decisions of the courts to weaken basic American institutions by claiming their activities violate civil rights.
17. Get control of the schools. Use them as transmission belts for socialism and current Communist propaganda. Soften the curriculum. Get control of teachers' associations. Put the party line in textbooks.
18. Gain control of all student newspapers.
19. Use student riots to foment public protests against programs or organizations which are under Communist attack.
20. Infiltrate the press. Get control of book-review assignments, editorial writing, policymaking positions.
21. Gain control of key positions in radio, TV, and motion pictures.
22. Continue discrediting American culture by degrading all forms of artistic expression. An American Communist cell was told to "eliminate all good sculpture from parks and buildings, substitute shapeless, awkward and meaningless forms."
The socialist method like Hitler used calls for direct force to achieve goals while the Communist method simply creates conflict between different groups through instigation. The goal is the same and that is something along the lines of KILL KILL KILL!

If I am to understand this correctly, the muslim bible says that everyone who isn't a muslim is an infidel, right?
The Muslim book is called the Koran or Qu'ran. Don't call it a Bible. That's an insult to Christians.
And that every infidel must be killed, or removed, or whatever, right? So, my presence interferes with the muslim quest for whatever they're searching for, or trying to attain, right?
I have not read the Koran, but I've talked to people who have studied world religions and whose judgement I trust. Based on secondhand information, the book itself isn't consistent in its attitudes toward non-Muslims. Supposedly the earlier parts of it are fairly tolerant, simply Mohammed writing down his ideas and opinions about how people should live. The later parts, I'm told, were written after he was driven away from Mecca, before he returned with an army and captured the city.
Supposedly, he was angry during this later period and his writings reflected an intolerance toward the Christians and Jews who were living in the area. He had tried to "convert" members of both groups - when speaking to Jews he called himself a 'prophet,' to Christians, an 'apostle.' Neither were interested in what he had to say. He took this as a personal insult and killed as many of both groups as possible.
Further, it's my understanding that some of the differences among different Muslim sects have to do with which part of the Koran they put more emphasis on, as well as the interpretation of what is written.
So, if I have this figured correctly, the muslims' view of the world is, by definition, a land ruled by sharia law, wherein everyone has the same religion, follows strict guidelines, or faces severe punishment, and or death, cannot express his, or herself, and finally behaves in a manner suitable only for a robot. Do I have this right?
Depends on who you mean. I don't know. You could make the case that while some Muslims clearly think that (and their actions demonstrate it), that the more moderate ones are either biding their time, or simply aren't fanatical enough to interpret such teaching literally in the first place.
If you think that all Muslims believe in global Shar'ia at some level (and hell, maybe they do, maybe they don't)...then you'd have to argue that what we're doing in Iraq and Afghanistan is a complete waste of time. Even if radicals like the Taliban and AQI are utterly destroyed, it would mean that even the prevailing moderate Muslims ultimately have it in for us, too.
Personally, it's hard for me to put countries like Jordan and Egypt in the same category as Iran or Syria. And that doesn't have anything to do with some Muslim nations being Shiite while others are Sunni; both major sects have extremists and terror groups - the Taliban are Sunni, while Hizbollah are Shiite. I think anyway.

Iran probably hasn't got the cash to seal the deal. Russia has already given them hassles over the nuclear reactor they're building near Tehran for this reason. Iran's got all kinds of problems in the pocketbook these days, with oil below $100/barrel at the root of most of them.

One could make the case that radical Islam and the secular Left could put / are putting their differences aside long enough to fight a common enemy. Christian and Jewish conservatives.
Once we've been wiped out, radical Islamist elements will turn on its useful idiots on the Left and kill them all for apostasy. They'll be dealt with even more harshly than we were. The militant homosexuals, radical feminists, and ardent atheists will be first up against the wall, as all three are horrible crimes under Shar'ia law.
If you say Islam is a socialist religion then you are so fucking stupid that I wonder how you even switched your computer on without losing a finger.
Don't be too sure of that. How else would you characterize the ruling governments in most Muslim countries? They aren't communist, and they certainly aren't capitalist either.
Most maintain a fairly high level of state ownership of the economy, with little allowance for free speech or religion, and cradle-to-grave health benefits as in Europe. This is true even in Saudi Arabia, which is technically a monarchy. Most of them are controlled by a small ruling elite (a strongman or oligarchy and an inner circle) with the uneducated, mostly-poor rabble down at the bottom.
The only true democratic Muslim governments are the ones the US has created, and even those have a lot of problems. Turkey and Indonesia are the only other ones which come even close to democracy.
Even the better-developed Muslim countries are far more socialist than the US is, and the more moderate ones like Egypt still aren't real free or prosperous.
If they're not socialist, you tell me what they are.

Oh bullshit, you're just assuming that there is a cause and effect relationship between being stupid and swearing a lot. Which there isn't.
Maybe you're trying to hide the fact that you yourself are stupid by hiding behind this fallacy that intelligent people don't swear.
If you say something that's really fucking stupid, then I say something that involves swearing, you can deflect criticism of your idiocy by calling me “foul-mouthed” and therefore, in your mind, an “ignoramus” as well.
By the way, if you were being creative, you could have said ‘ignoranus - an idiot and an arsehole’.

Obviously you have read 1984, but it seems your political view has given you a warped understanding of its meaning.
About halfway through, everything is explained.
The society in the book has nothing to do with communism, other than the fact that people wear overalls and call each other ‘comrade’.
It says that the society is based on fear, nationalism and authoritarianism - the extreme right.
The government only wants the co-operation of the people because they will get it through intimidation and subconscious loyalty to a figurehead.
If you thought that 1984 was actually making an anti-communist statement, then you are a fool.
It was written to complain about people like you, like Ronald Reagan, Pinochet, Mussolini - fascists.
And, as expected, it escaped you entirely.

Little boy, you truly are a gigantic dumbass. The Soviet Union was the model for the society in 1984, right down to having its own Trotsky hate figure, Emmanuel Goldstein (Trotsky's orginal sirname was Bronstein, Emmanuel means "God with us", a reference to the messianic view his followers had of him). The ruling party Ingsoc was a deliberate and none too subtle attack on the English Socialists.
His book was an explicit attack on totalitarianism in general and Communism in particular, which is why leftists in the publishing world attacked it so vehemently: I Anisimov decried his "contempt for the people and his aim of slandering man", Samuel Sillen (in Masses and Mainstream) denounced him as the "maggot of the month" shortly after publication, denouncing his novel as "a cynical diatribe against the human race" and James Walsh (Marxist Quartely) said it showed his "neurotic and depressing hatred of everything approaching progress".
Your claim that 1984 isn't anti Communist is point and laugh clueless. If you had the most rudimentary knowledge of Orwell's views on Communism, you wouldn't have just made such a colossal fool out of yourself.

Hey AquaWhateverius,
I am not balding or beer bellied ( I would like to thank pizza and Mountain Dew), or for that matter struck with poor reading comprehension. I also do not violently mash my keyboard (except when the Chiefs are losing), I do not have any complexes although I am diligently searching for a self help guide at my local liberal book store. Given the current state of things across the pond I would not call you a "stupid Limey Kid" just a "Limey Kid".

No, Ted, they aren't. Once they finally figure out that Pelosicare is a dud of a bill, they will choose to double down on moonbattery and claim the problem is the lack of a single payer system.
The left will not recognize Pelosicare as being the problem. They will claim that Pelosicare was a good bill, but it fails because it does not go far enough.

You're afraid of Islam, with no good reason.
You simply react harshly to unfamiliar viewpoints.
_________________________________________________
A lesson on Islam and the Koran from Robert Spencer, recognized scholar and expert:
The Koran is hard for we infidels to understand because the verses, called sura, are printed from longest to shortest, not by the date they were written. The earliest parts of the Koran were written when Mohammed was militarily and politically weak and stressed cooperation with Jews and Christians. Later, when he became mighty, his inspiration from the angel Gabriel was suddenly that all Children of the Book, that is, Jews and Christians, are infidels and most be killed where ever one finds them. Infidels have three fates: convert, submit and pay the jizya tax (dhimmitude, a form of slavery), or be killed. The only way to get to heaven is by committing an act of jihad, a killing for Allah. This is for men only. There is no mention of Muslim women going to heaven. However, it is all peaches and cream for the men. While they are here on earth they are not allowed to drink and sleep around. When they get to heaven, they get "72 doe-eyed virgins" and flowing rivers of drink. If you think about it, this is really childish and laughable. It is difficult to fight an enemy who wishes to go to heaven sooner rather than later to get laid. Let me emphasize this: there is nothing in the Koran about going to heaven by living a good life and giving to the poor. The only way to get there is an act of jihad. The reason the fundamentalists saw heads off is because that is how Mohammed killed the infidels.
This is nothing to do with which parts of the Koran that some Muslims think are more important than others. Every word of the Koran is the Word of God and none may be ignored. The doctrine of abrogation means that the later verses outweigh the earlier verses. The last verse Mohammed wrote, the Verse of the Sword, is the one that calls for the death of all infidels. The goal of Islam is to create a worldwide Caliphate.
The reason Iran is so dangerous now is because its president, Imadinnerjacket, believes that heaven on earth will be speeded up if the 12th Imam returns. What makes the 12th Imam return? The apocalyspe. How to make an apocalypse happen? Why, nuke Israel.
I laugh and grind my teeth at the same time when I see stupid liberals driving around with those COEXIST bumper stickers, each letter made out of the symbol for different religions including Islam. They are too ignorant to realize that Islam by definition REFUSES to coexist with others. Because too many Americans have failed to educate themselves on Islam they believe the tripe that cover groups and politicians tell them that Islam is a religion of peace. It is not. Making excuses for the Hasans in America will only open more opportunities to attack the Great Satan here at home where we are not expecting it. All of you can see how our dhimmi press is already covering for him.
One would expect Western civilizations to at least have a sense of self-preservation, but multiculturalism and political correctness, hate crimes law and the like have ensured that one may not speak the truth about the threat. In fact, our illustrious president is cosponsoring a hate crimes resolution at the UN with Egypt (!) on restricting speech that denigrates one's religion.
Britain is almost gone, and the last administration has admitted that they endorsed massive immigration to purposely destroy Britishness. Like what is going on here with the open borders and refusal to enforce our laws against illegal aliens. Europe is circling the drain for the same reason. The Muslims are gaining political power through numbers, and then Europe's demise will increase speed. Wake up, people.
It is uneducated sneering pseudo intellectuals like Aquatarkus who help speed the Muslim cause along. Ignore him. Educate yourself. Defend your civilization.

It's the Christian religion that is socialist. In fact ,when you think about it, Jesus was the first socialist Jew.

Jesus was not a socialist, oldguy. In the New Testament, Jesus calls for personal charity. He says that a man is entitled to the fruits of his labor. Try actually reading the Bible. No where did Jesus say that government should take people's money from them to give to others. Personal acts of charity show obedience to God and help ensure that one will join Jesus in heaven.

This site claims to exist to (wrongly) promote “critique, commentary and discussion of left-leaning political factions”.

It does? Where does it say that?

News You May Have Missed, or Wanted To
Rev. Al’s (Ex-)Wife and Daughter Arrested! It’s true, the Very Reverend Blowhard Al Sharpton’s former blushing bride, Kathy Jordan, 53, and their daughter, Dominique, 23, were arrested after running a red light in Harlem.
The NYPD doesn’t customarily incarcerate red-light violators, especially in Harlem, but this situation was unique.
According to the Houston Chronicle, Al was fuming and shocked, I tell you, over the incident, twittering in not just his usual twitter but on Twitter.
In high dudgeon he twitted, “I cannot imagine how two unarmed women with no record could be taken in cuffs from a traffic dispute with NO personal or property damage involved.”
Without literally invoking his usual charges of racism, he merely insinuated it: “Well this is what we deal with every day. We will never accept unfairness. (There was) no drugs or drinking at all.”
Now, the last thing NYC cops would want to do would be to offend Rev. Al and his constituency so one must suspect there was more to the matter that met the eye, including an exhibition of “blackitude,” that attitude expressed in oppressed indignation long synonymous with northern African-Americans.
After speeding though the light past a police car, the pair were cuffed and arrested for resisting arrest and after arguing over a traffic summons: http://bit.ly/1oZLKs
Although the Chronicle failed to report details as to the disposition of the charges or the argument content, the retort may very well have gone something like this: “Whatcha mean, yo racist, honkie, mutherf*cker? We be related to the mutherf*cking Al Sharpton and we has our own as president! Yo can jest shove that ticket!”
Let’s have a shout-out for the NYPD!
Pee-Wee Is Still Pee-Wee! On a note much lighter than Sharpton, that scamp Pee-Wee Herman, aka, Paul Reubens, has announced he is still the beloved Pee-Wee and that, after a 19 year absence, “he was bringing his brilliant Pee-Wee character back to the stage.”
His fans “went into a tizzy:”. . .

Yup, and John Allen Muhammad's execution is scheduled for tomorrow. Too bad it's only lethal injection... he really deserves a firing squad, or at the least, hanging. Not the quick, drop through the floor type either, the slow, have a horse slapped out from under you-swinging from a tree kind.

Talk about a public evisceration.

TED, I noticed that at the DU as well. The thread I looked at, they were tepid, tentative, unsure, disoriented. Almost a feeling of dread that comes after "be careful what you wish for." After all, there could be all kinds of things stuffed into a 2,000 page bill. Just because it has a D next to it, doesn't make it all sweetness and light. And yes, they really were hoping for free ponies, not personal mandates.

At least my comments don't look like they were written by someone with a serious thought disorder.

I was talking to my neighbor tonight. He found out that the health bill means everyone has to buy insurance, not just get free insurance. "I told you so". I also told him that the taxes would start next year but the "health care" would not be available until 2013. The air just went out of him. I suspect his is not an isolated case.
