There are many people who, after reading all the news articles and seeing all the TV news reports, still choose not to believe the words of the radical Islamic fascists as to their intentions regarding the rest of the world population and their governments. These non-believers go on purporting that negotiations in a peaceful, respectful way can solve the differences between radical Islam and the non-Islamic nations.

There is only one scenario where discussion of differences would be successful and that meeting would go something like this…

• Non-Muslim: "Yes, I want to negotiate a peace treaty with you so that all people can live without war and respect each other."
• Radical Muslim: "Yes, I too would like that treaty with you. Here is our proposal. 1) All non-Muslims shall denounce their citizenship of and allegiance to whatever nation they now reside in. 2)They shall all swear that there is only the One God of the Universe, Alla, and vow to worship Him and enslave himself to Him forever. 3) They shall vow to be governed by the laws of Alla as written in the Kouran under penalty of death. This shall be their state."
• Non-Muslim: "But sir, that is not what I meant by "Respect". I meant that Muslims would recognize the right of individuals to worship as they believe, not all becoming Muslims."
• Radical Muslim: "You reject the proposal as not being respectful of individuals wishes?"
• Non-Muslim: "Well, yes, I do."
• Radical Muslim: "I have offerred to you our only offer, to become a slave to the One God, Alla, and you have rejected it. Under the law of the Kouran non believers are infidels and pollute the precious air Alla has provided only for His faithful. You cannot defile the precious air any longer. Guards, make it so he breathes no more!!"
• Whoosh, thump.

I didn’t say who would be successful in that scenario. The Islamic fascists only see it one way. You submit to the laws of Alla as they interpret them, or you die. Period. No second choice, no negotiating, no live and let live. These people have vowed to their God, which they believe in with more apparent zeal than any western civilization in their God, to conquer the entire Earth and bring all people to the sweet oneness with Alla.

James Brandon, reporter for the Christian Science Monitor, quotes Abu Abdullah, a radical Muslim member of Hizb ut-Tahrir, the Party of Liberation, as saying, "President Bush says that we want to enslave people and oppress their freedom of speech but what we want is to free all people from being slaves of men and make them slaves of Allah."¹

We have all heard the insane ravings of the whacked out Iranian president, but why do some choose not to believe him? I think they believe that he’s crazy and does not represent the feelings of the Iranian people. Are they aware that ever since the hostage incident in Iran in the 70s eighty percent or moreof the people of Iran spend between ninety minutes and four hours every Friday after prayer, Friday being their holiest weekday, chanting "Death to America, Death to America" on their own volition, not having to be persuaded?

Why do the Islamic fascists hate western civilizations so? Jealousy is the overall contributing factor. Up until the Ottoman Empire conquered Persia, modern day Iran and Iraq, that country was the most powerful, longest living nation on Earth. Ever since then they have considered it their destiny to return to that stature and reclaim their previous glory. There is only one problem. Ever since the demise of the Soviet Union there is only one nation in the world that can possibly claim the title of most powerful, and that is the U. S. A. So, in addition to their religious mis-beliefs they have the green eyed monster of jealousy eating away at their gut as not being the most powerful nation, and the fully intend on doing whatever it takes to make it so again.

As quoted in the Christian Science Monitor article referenced above, Abu Mohammed states, "Islam obliges Muslims to possess power so that they can intimidate - I would not say terrorize - the enemies of Islam. In the beginning, the Caliphate" the government of the Caliph or Supreme Leader of Earthly Islam, "would strengthen itself internally and it wouldn't initiate jihad. But after that we would carry Islam as an intellectual call to all the world," he says. "And we will make people bordering the Caliphate believe in Islam. Or if they refuse then we'll ask them to be ruled by Islam." And after that? Abu Mohammed pauses and fiddles with his Pepsi before replying. "And if after all discussions and negotiations they still refuse, then the last resort will be a jihad to spread the spirit and the rule of Islam," he says, smiling. "This is done in the interest of all people, to get them out of darkness and into the light of Islam."¹
