As a Muslim, it is so frustrating to read things like this and have no idea how to fight back. I'm just constantly shaking my head thinking, I must live in some parallel universe. I've been to so many mosques, and only good things are happening there. I don't know of any muslim group calling for Sharia law. These people are crazy! I will pray that God blesses you all!

It is an obligation. Jihad is not complete until 100% of the world is Muslim. It must continue by any means necessary. Compromise is not an option. This is Shariah. This is Islam." Might I ask your source or foundation for these statements? I'm keenly interested in knowing who out there is suggesting that every Muslim on earth is obligated by their religion to pursue world domination.

The Greater Jihad seeks to purify one's OWN soul through prayer and sanctity. It is only the much more unimportant Lesser Jihad that seeks to make war with other religions. And how is the conversion of which you speak any different from the proselytizing and tracting undertaken by so many evangelical Christian sects? You are describing a very dangerous double standard, my friend. I only ask that you take some time to think on that. It's important.

Tue, 14 Jun 2011 16:09:38 +0000 http://www.splcenter.org/blog/?p=6818#comment-299150 Mosques have inspired hate throughout the world. From the genocide in the Sudan to the expulsion of 1 million Lebanese Christians, 1 million Middle Eastern Jews, and the persecution of 10 million Coptic Egyptians. Mosques have been the place where dozens (yes, literally dozens) of American jihadis have been taught and inspired. Shariah attempts to impose Islamic law on non-Muslims, including their subjugation. David Yerushalmi may be a radical and possibly worse. However, radical Islam is a threat against peace-loving people. Jihad in Islam is not an option. It is an obligation. Jihad is not complete until 100% of the world is Muslim. It must continue by any means necessary. Compromise is not an option. This is Shariah. This is Islam. Attack idiots like David Yerushalmi, however, don't blind yourselves to a far more dangerous genocidal threat. Mosques have inspired hate throughout the world.

But Yerushalmi wants Israel to _stop_ being a democracy and essentially become a fascist ethnostate; he argues that any America who supports Israeli democracy is siding with Hamas. And he wrote an article called "On Race", in which he calls blacks "that most murderous of peoples" and argues that the founding fathers prevented blacks and women for voting for "a reason". He's basically an American-born Kahanist. Why supposedly "mainstream" conservatives are palling around with him is anyone's guess. Ah yes, here’s Yerushalmi’s treasure trove:

I distinctly remember reading some racist quotes from him. Isn’t Yerushalmi also a racist who holds David Yeagley-like views of black people?
