compiled by Sheila Musaji

2001

Rev. Jerry Falwell on CROSSFIRE said ”I have not seen in the headlines of Americas major newspapers a single American Muslim organization condemn what happened to Daniel Pearl at the hand of some of these Islamic crazies.” Ibrahim Hooper told Falwell that his organization was quick to condemn Pearl’s brutal murder, as did the Muslim Public Affairs Council, the American Muslim Council, the Islamic Society of North America, the Islamic Circle of North America and the ministry of Imam W.D. Muhammed, among others.

Rev. Jerry Falwell in an interview, expressed “deep concerns” about President George W. Bush’’s faith-based initiative and suggested that Muslims be excluded from federal faith-based initiative money because the religion is “bigoted” and “teaches hate.”

John Ashcroft at Bob Jones University said “Unique among the nations, America recognized the source of our character as being godly and eternal, not being civic and temporal. And we have understood that our source is eternal, America is different. We have no king but Jesus.” see also 2002

Silvio Berlusconi Italian Prime Minister asserted that Western civilisation is superior to Islam.

President Bush’s ‘crusade’ comment

Rep. Saxby Chambliss R-GA said that to combat terrorism officials should ”Arrest every Muslim that comes across the state line” into Georgia.

Congressman John Cooksey “If I see someone comes in that’s got a diaper on his head and a fan belt wrapped around the diaper on his head, that guy needs to be pulled over.”

Robert Dornan California congressional candidate criticized the father of John Walker Lindh, for letting Lindh “give up Jesus for a camel driver with nine wives.” (CNN, 12/14/01)

Bishop Delano Ellis who had made many negative statements about Islam and Muslims appointed to Congressional panel on faith based issues.  He had previously called Islam “at best false” and at worst “bloody and dangerous.”

Family Research Council “[W]hile it is true that the United States of America was founded on the sacred principle of religious freedom for all, that liberty was never intended to exalt other religions to the level that Christianity holds in our country’s heritage. Our Founders expected that Christianity—and no other religion—would receive support from the government as long as that support did not violate peoples’ consciences and their right to worship.”

Michael Hurd ”We should bomb the mosques of Afghanistan first, and proudly. These mosques represent the mystical call to force which is the core of the Islamic terrorist movement. By destroying them, we could destroy the heart and soul of their movement—and well we should. They destroyed the heart of American capitalism—the World Trade Center—and the heart of American defense: the Pentagon. It’s the least we could do in return. And they have a whole lot more coming.”

Rep. Tom Lantos (D-CA) in a speech to a pro-Israeli lobbying group said that the Treaty 628 at Hudaibiyah signed by Prophet Muhammad is “treacherous.” Lantos said in the speech, “So let me sketch for a moment how we in Congress see the last few months. Arafat walked away from a dream deal. Apparently, his approach to the peace process was based on the Treaty of 628 Hudaibiyah, which was a treacherous treaty. Islamic forces made truce with non-Islamic elements, and they had no intention of keeping that agreement. They went on to attack, and destroyed those with whom they had made the treaty.”

Al Mohler said Christians do not serve the same God as that of Jews and Muslims, he insisted, because the Jews have rejected Christ and the Muslims have replaced the God of the Bible with Allah.

Operation Save America whose motto is “Jesus is the standard” - “If we love our brothers and sisters who claim the Name of Christ, we must love them enough to tell them that Islam and Christianity cannot peacefully coexist. They are at war (Genesis 3:15).”

Ronn Owens of KGO Talk Radio, in a discussion about “bombing Afghanistan back to the stone age” allowed that this would mean killing innocent people, but “we’re at war, we have to accept collateral damage.”

Daniel Pipes in Commentary magazine recommends “vigilant application of social and political pressure to ensure that Islam is not accorded special status of any kind in this country.” (Commentary, November 2001) The “special status” Pipes refers to includes ordinary religious accommodations for Muslims in the workplace and “inclusion of Muslims in affirmative-action plans.” In that same article, Pipes wrote: “The Muslim population in this country is not like any other group……they harbor designs for this country that warrant urgent and serious attention.”

Margaret Thatcher former Prime Minister of Britain accused Muslim leaders of not speaking out strongly enough against the September 11th terrorist attacks in the United States.

Cal Thomas - “It should now be clear that Israel cannot tolerate a huge Arab population within its borders, so a political decision must be made. Most Arabs and Palestinians appear to be nonviolent but it can be difficult to tell the difference...Israel should declare its intention to transfer large numbers of its Palestinian residents to Arab nations. . .Eviction is a better avenue to stability. Will it happen? Probably not. Should it? Yes.” This is an advocation of ethnic cleansing 6/2001 in his column entitled “Coalition of Terror”

Rev. Jerry Vines at the Southern Baptists Pastor’s Conference in St. Louis said, “Islam is not as good as Christianity. Christianity was founded by the virgin-born Lord Jesus Christ. Islam was founded by Muhammad, a demon-possessed pedophile who had twelve wives—and his last was a nine-year-old girl.”

Paul Weyrich objecting to the “Eid” postage stamp “Accordingly, I am writing to suggest that the current stamps be withdrawn, to be overprinted with the image of the Twin Towers and then reissued. I have no doubt a majority of Americans would find the altered stamps a more appropriate commemoration of Islam than the current celebratory version.”

2002

Adelman, Kenneth Calling Islam a peaceful religion “is an increasingly hard argument to make,” said Kenneth Adelman, a former official in President Ronald Reagan’s administration who serves on the Bush Pentagon’s Defense Policy Board. “The more you examine the religion, the more militaristic it seems. After all, its founder, Mohammed, was a warrior, not a peace advocate like Jesus.”

Garner Ted Armstrong ”No matter how loudly or how long Muslims proclaim their religion to be a religion of “peace,” such a claim is a blatant lie. Anyone reading the Koran knows better.” in an article The Big Lie of Islam

John Ashcroft, former Attorney General, in an interview with syndicated columnist Cal Thomas published on the internet site http://www.crosswalk.com said: “Islam is a religion in which God requires you to send your son to die for him. Christianity is a faith in which God sends his son to die for you.” see also 2001

American Airlines Pilot compares veiled women to whores.

Chuck Baldwin commenting on President Bush’s Ramadan message to Muslims “Does Mr. Bush not realize that the Holy Bible, not the Koran, is the one and only written revelation of God to man? Is he that ignorant of Christian teaching? Or, was he deliberately denying Christian doctrine in order to curry favor with his Muslim hosts?...”

“Even more disturbing is the manner in which Christian ministers have accepted Bush’s apostasy. At the national level, only Pat Robertson and Franklin Graham seem willing to correctly identify the Muslim religion for what it is: a religion of violence and hatred....”

Blog statement “Arabs Are Not the Enemy, Islam Is the Enemy”.

Shannon Burke, Orlando, Florida talk show host has aroused fear and outrage in the Orlando Muslim community by making statements that include, “We should close all our borders to all Muslims”, “Muslims are cruel” (his producer Colin Brady said this), “Islam hates education. That’s why literacy, science and mathematics are regarded by scholars in Islam to be a threat to Islam”, “Islam hates democracy and hates the United States” and “The bottom line is that any new invention, any innovation, is seen by Islam as an offence to Allah.”

Ergun Caner said: “Islam Is Not a Peaceful Religion.”

Elliot Cohen of the Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies, wrote an article for the Wall Street Journal editorial page arguing that the enemy of the United States is not terrorism “but militant Islam.” The enemy has an ideology, he wrote, and “an hour spent surfing the Web” will give the average citizen at least the kind of insights that he or she might have found during World War II by reading “Mein Kampf” or the writings of Lenin, Stalin or Mao.

Rev. Maury Davis pastor of Cornerstone Church in Nashville, began the first sermon of his series titled, “Hard Questions — Real Answers. Islam…The Evil Religion,”

Jerry Falwell said on 60 Minutes “Muhammad was a terrorist”.

Billy Graham’s Samaritan’s Purse ready to move into Iraq behind troops.

Franklin Graham said terrorism is part of “mainstream” Islam and claimed the Quran, Islam’s revealed text, “preaches violence.” On Fox News cable network’s “Hannity & Colmes” program, Graham, after repeatedly refusing to deny that Islam is “evil,” said: “I think it’s [terrorism] more mainstream. And it’s not just a handful of extremists. If you buy the Koran, read it for yourself, and it’s in there. The violence that it preaches is there.” Earlier in the day, Graham appeared on Hannity’s nationally-syndicated radio program where he made similar remarks and claimed that Muslim leaders have failed to condemn terrorism.

Guilford County Republican Party Website has a link to a site called “Islam Exposed” that states: “This website was designed with 1 (sic) objective in mind - to expose one of the greatest evils on our planet - Islam. We have the evidence and materials to prove that this false religion is nothing more than a barbaric occult (sic) invented by savages for savages.”

Sen. Inhofe said on the Senate floor: Israel has a right to land “because God said so.”

Rich Lowery National Review Editor suggests “nuking Mecca”. 

Rev. Robert Morey on the St. Louis am 630 radio program “The Tim and Al Show” says Let’’s bomb Mecca and Medina and that will end Islam.  It will become ‘‘a lame duck’’ without its holy sites.”

Bill O’’Reilly says 4/12 WorldNetDaily.com, 4/12/2002 “If you strip all the side shows away, you are left with the fact that America will sooner or later have to defeat the Muslims who hate us, or be subjected to continuous terror and violence. Arabs are oppressed and poor, and their leaders blame that condition on Israel and the United States. That is fallacious, of course, but when you can’t read or think outside of the Koran, it is easy to swallow hateful propaganda. Most Arabs live lives of poverty and hopelessness……Most Arabs have no money and no freedom. No wonder they are angry. All Americans should realize that these people are dangerous…… I don’t know about you, but I couldn’t care less about the Muslim world……”

Terry Randall said about Islam:  “I want you to just let a wave of intolerance wash over you,” Terry told the Fort Wayne (Indiana) News-Sentinel a few years ago. “I want you to let a wave of hatred wash over you. Yes, hate is good ... Our goal is a Christian nation. We have a Biblical duty; we are called by God to conquer this country. We don’ t want equal time. We don’t want pluralism.”

Pat Robertson on the Sean Hannity radio program said about the Prophet Muhammad: “This man was an absolute wild-eyed fanatic. He was a robber and a brigand. And to say that these terrorists distort Islam, they’re carrying out Islam.” In the program’s second segment, Robertson said: “[The Quran, Islam’s revealed text] is strictly a theft of Jewish theology. I mean, this man [Muhammad] was a killer. And to think that this is a peaceful religion is fraudulent.”

Rev. Pat Robertson on his “700 Club” TV broadcast said that he disagreed with President Bush: ”I have taken issue with our esteemed president in regard to his stand in saying Islam is a peaceful religion. It’s just not. And the Koran makes it very clear, if you see an infidel, you kill him.” Co-host Lee Webb asked Robertson why he thought Muslim immigrants would want to live in the United States “if they have such contempt for our foreign policy.” Robertson replied: “Well, as missionaries possibly to spread the doctrine of Islam.” He went on to say that Islam “is not a peaceful religion that wants to coexist. They want to coexist until they can control, dominate and then, if need be, destroy.” His world view is not surprising if you read his books - but it is alarming.  For example, “When I said during my presidential bid that I would only bring Christians and Jews into the government, I hit a firestorm. `What do you mean?’ the media challenged me. `You’re not going to bring atheists into the government? How dare you maintain that those who believe in the Judeo Christian values are better qualified to govern America than Hindus and Muslims?’ My simple answer is, `Yes, they are.’” --from Pat Robertson’s “The New World Order,” page 218.  ”If anybody understood what Hindus really believe, there would be no doubt that they have no business administering government policies in a country that favors freedom and equality. ... Can you imagine having the Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini as defense minister, or Mahatma Gandhi as minister of health, education, and welfare? The Hindu and Buddhist idea of karma and the Muslim idea of kismet, or fate condemn the poor and the disabled to their suffering. ... It’s the will of Allah. These beliefs are nothing but abject fatalism, and they would devastate the social gains this nation has made if they were ever put into practice.” --Pat Robertson’s “The New World Order,” page 219.

Paul Craig Roberts a columnist for the Washington Times in a June 13 editorial said: “Despite the terrible events of September 11, the United States government continues to issue hundreds of thousands of visas to young Muslims ... the unasked question is why the United States is allowing any visas to be issued to Muslims.”

Jimmy Swaggart In a November 10 broadcast CFMT (OMNI) he slandered Prophet Muhammed, called for the expulsion of Muslim students in the U.S., demanded the profiling of passengers with a “diaper on their head” and suggested violence against Muslims.

Rev. Jerry Vines, On June 11th at the SOUTHERN BAPTIST CONVENTION IN SAINT LOUIS, made statements regarding Islam and Prophet Muhammad that are deeply offensive and inflammatory.  He said that Prophet Muhammad was a “demon-possessed pedophile.” that, “Allah is not Jehovah either. Jehovah’s not going to turn you into a terrorist that’ll try to bomb people and take the lives of thousands and thousands of people.” Vines also attributed many of the nation’s problems to religious pluralism When asked by reporters to condemn those bigoted remarks, both the outgoing and incoming SBC presidents said they supported Vines and his statements.

2003

David Atkins in an article on WorldNet Daily “I propose that the U.S. immediately adopt and publish the following nuclear doctrine: In the event of a WMD attack by terrorists on the U.S. homeland or U.S. military facilities overseas, the U.S will immediately and without discussion use its immense nuclear weapons capabilities to destroy the 100 largest Islamic cities on earth, regardless of state, and destroy all of the military facilities of Islamic-dominated states. This will include all of the capitals and at least the 10 largest cities of all Islamic-dominated states and the “holy” cities of Mecca and Medina. In addition, North Korean cities and military installations will be destroyed.

Baptist Theological Seminary panel says efforts to unite Christians and Muslims undermine Gospels.

Conservative Political Action Conference sold “virulently anti-Muslim” bumper stickers with text such as, “No Muslims—No Terrorism,” are being sold from exhibition booths

Jerome Corsi “Let’s see exactly why it isn’t the case that Islam is a worthless, dangerous Satanic religion? Where’s the proof to the contrary?” ...—“Islam is like a virus—it affects the mind—maybe even better as an analogy—it is a cancer that destroys the body it infects.”

Alan Coruba said “I believe this century will be remembered as the one in which Islam began its long march to extinction. It will be defeated in its terror war and it will be defeated because many will abandon a “religion” that is repelled by modernity, denies human rights, and revels in the blood of its victims, calling their killers martyrs”.

Ann Coulter said “This is a religious war, not against Islam but for Christianity, for a Christian nation. When this nation was founded, there was nothing like it. Our founders said there is a God and we are all equal before God. The ideal of equality and tolerance is like nothing that has ever existed in the world before. That, too, is a Christian value. The concept of equality, especially when it comes to gender equality, was not invented by Gloria Steinem. It was invented by Jesus Christ. As long as people look long enough, they will always come to Christianity.”

Robert Dornan California congressional candidate At a rally in March of 2003 at the Lincoln Memorial, it was reported that Dornan “denounced the Koran as ‘a book of war and terrorism’ and said that the Koran ‘must be rewritten’ and that passages seen as endorsing violence ‘must be expunged.’”

Rev. Mark Monte sermon, “Islam: America’s #1 Enemy”

Laura Schlessinger called Muslims “murderers” on her nationally syndicated radio program.

Paul Weyrich said: “More than hate crimes are being committed against Americans. September 11th was more than the biggest hate crime of the year. It was an act of war because Islam is at war with the West. The sooner that all Americans learn to accept that bitter, hard truth, then the better off we will be as a nation.”

2004

American Airlines Pilot flying passengers on flight 34 to New York asked Christians on board to identify themselves and suggested the non-Christians discuss the faith with them

Joy Behar on The View, in a discussion of who airline passengers should sit next to on a plane, host Joy Behar said: “You want somebody who’s calm, you don’t want somebody who’s reading the Quran as you’re going down.”

Neil Boortz after mocking the Shahada (the Islamic creed), “There is no true God but God, and Muhammad is the messenger of God,” Boortz revealed his thoughts on the religion: “Say that with conviction, folks, and the next thing you know, you’re strapping on a suicide bomb.”

Gen. William Boykin, BBC News Reported that he said in reference to Islam: “Well you know what I knew, that my God was bigger than his,” said Lt Gen Boykin. “I knew that my God was a real God, and his was an idol.”

Jack Cafferty on Good Morning America ”Somehow, I wouldn’t be too concerned about the sensitivity of the Arab world. They don’t seem to have very much.” He added, “It’s going to come down to them or us.”

Catch the Fire Ministries attempted to defend itself in an Australian court from charges of vilifying Islam with the claim that “The Quran contradicts Christian doctrine in a number of places and, under the blasphemy law, is therefore illegal.”

Ann Coulter said “We should invade their countries, kill their leaders and convert them to Christianity. We weren’t punctilious about locating and punishing only Hitler and his top officers. We carpet-bombed German cities; we killed civilians. That’s war. And this is war.”

Will Cummins said: “The problem is that a virulent hatred of Muslims can no more be racism than a virulent hatred of Marxists or Tories. Nobody is a member of a race by choice. Such groups are protected from attack because it is unfair to malign human beings for something they cannot help”.

Tom Delay House Majority Whip, according to Michael Ryan is quoted as saying in a speech at a Texas, Baptist Church: “Christianity offers the only viable, reasonable, definitive answer to the questions of ‘Where did I come from?’ ‘Why am I here?’ ‘Where am I going?’ ‘Does life have any meaningful purpose?’ - and “Only Christianity offers a comprehensive worldview that covers all areas of life and thought, every aspect of creation. Only Christianity offers a way to live in response to the realities that we find in this world—only Christianity.”

George J. Don, senior pastor of Calvary Temple in Irving, TX, accompanied Benny Hinn on stage. He said: “Our faith is in Jesus Christ, and the Muslim community does not accept Jesus and God, and therefore we’re at odds with Muslims....Any religion or ideology that refuses to acknowledge the lordship of Jesus Christ could be typified as a war against Satan”.

Rev. Franklin Graham who performed the benediction at the Bush inauguration, is quoted at http://www.tolerance.org/news/article_hate.jsp?id=337 as saying: “We’re not attacking Islam but Islam has attacked us,” NBC quotes Graham as saying at a dedication of a chapel in North Carolina. “The God of Islam is not the same God. He’s not the son of God of the Christian or Judeo-Christian faith. It’s a different God, and I believe it is a very evil and wicked religion.” [Editors Note: I believe that many Jews would be surprised to see this statement that they also believe Jesus to be the Son of God]. 

Bill Handell radio host had a segment where a “pretend Muslim” on the Bill Handel show suggested that Muslims have sex with animals, avoid bathing and are obsessed with killing Jews.

Sam Harris “We are not at war with terrorism, we are at war with Islam”

Rev. Benny Hinn proclaimed to thousands of Christians at the American Airlines Center in Dallas, TX that “We are on God’s side. This is not a war between Arabs and Jews. It’s a war between God and the devil.”

Imus in the Morning program commenting on the apparent execution of a wounded Iraqi
in Fallujah by a U.S. Marine, a fictitious “Senior Military Affairs Advisor” to the program justified the killing by referring to a “booby-trapped raghead cadaver.” The fictitious advisor also said the killing provided an “Al-Jazeera moment” causing the “Muslim masses to respond with their routine pack of rabid sheep mentality.”

Imus anchor Sid Rosenberg referring to Palestinians “They’re all brainwashed, though. That’s what it is. And they’re stupid to begin with, but they’re brainwashed now. Stinking animals. They ought to drop the bomb right there, kill ‘em all right now.”

Robert Kilroy-Silk described Arabs as “suicide bombers, limb-amputators, women repressors” in a column in the Sunday Express.

Rep. Peter King, Republican, New York on Sean Hannitys radio program said: “85 percent of American Muslim community leaders are an enemy living amongst us and that no (American) Muslims cooperate in the war on terror”.

Hal Lindsey If there is a “peaceful” majority of Muslims, they had better speak out clearly and strongly against the growing power of the fundamentalists, or they will be confused with the Muslims who bring future terrorist acts against this country.  When Muslim fundamentalists launch attacks against our citizens that kill tens of thousands, there will surely be a release of fury that will not be so discerning of what kind of a Muslim a person is, unless he has made it very clear beforehand.

Rich Lowery, National Review Editor suggests “Nuking Mecca.”

Jackie Mason called “the whole Muslim religion” a “murderous organization” that teaches “hate, terrorism and murder.”

Bunnie Meyer, owner of “All Phone Wholesale” and member of the JDL, has posted messages of hate on her storefront. The messages, which target Palestinians specifically and Arabs generally, include opinions such as “Palestinians are pigs, murderous scum pigs.” Over a dozen signs cover Meyer’s store windows, bearing statements such as: “Palestinians are worthless filthy scumbag cockroaches descended from the bowel movement of pigs” and “A stupid rag head Arab pig who kills innocent people by crashing an airplane into a building cannot become a martyr, but he can show you the value of his pig mother, his pig father and his pig teacher of his pig faith.”

Rev. Robert Morey is quoted as saying “The greatest weakness of Islam is that it is hopelessly tied to sacred cities and buildings,” Morey writes in his book Winning the War Against Radical Islam. “If these cities and buildings were destroyed, Islam would die within a generation as it would be apparent to all that its god could not protect the three holiest sites in Islam.” Morey then goes on to outline his draconian proposal: “With American ships stationed all around Arabia and troops on the ground within Saudi Arabia itself, it would take about seven minutes for cruise missiles to take out Mecca and Medina. These cities could be vaporized in minutes and there is nothing the Saudis or any other Muslim country could do to stop us. The Israelis could take out the Dome Mosque at the same time. It could happen so fast that no one would have the time to respond. With these surgical strikes, few lives would be lost. And, with three strikes against them, Islam is out!… We must tell all the Muslim countries that are presently supporting and harboring terrorists that if they do not cease and desist at once, we will destroy the heart of their religion.” (pp. 168-169)

Dick Morris on Fox’s Hannity & Colmes program said there “never will be any moderate Muslim voices.”

Lewin Nathan on Shma.com “The nation whose civilians are killed or maimed should, by “targeted assassinations” or other means, be free promptly to execute the immediate relatives of the suicide bombers. This consequence would, I believe, deter most suicide killers ...”

Gary North wants to deny citizenship to non-Christians, (who according to Walter Olson in an article in Reason Online served on the staff of Rep. Ron Paul (R-TEXAS), has said: The long-term goal of Christians in politics should be to gain exclusive control over the franchise. Those who refuse to submit publicly to the eternal sanctions of God by submitting to His Church’s public marks of the covenant--baptism and holy communion--must be denied citizenship, just as they were in ancient Israel. ? Gary North, Political Polytheism: The Myth of Pluralism (Tyler, TX: Institute for Christian Economics, 1989, p. 87.)

Adam Taiichi Oshida “Many have noted in recent months that Ive spent an increasing amount of time discussing the broader Islamic threat as opposed to merely the Islamist threat. That’s because Ive come to a simple conclusion: if Western Civilization is to survive, Islam must be destroyed. The two are not compatible and cannot co-exist on a single planet.” and also “Well, let me say two things right now. First: I agree with Mr. Griffin that Islam is a wicked, vicious faith. There can be, and are, good Moslems but that does not change the obvious and fundamental fact that Islam itself is, in general, a bad thing and that we’d all be better off had it never been created. Second: I agree that Moslems are a threat to Britain, to Canada, to America and to free people everywhere.”

Cardinal Pell of Australia - Islam could be the new communism

Raphael Petai in his book The Arab Mind makes racist statements such as: “Why are most Arabs, unless forced by dire necessity to earn their livelihood with ‘the sweat of their brow’, so loath to undertake any work that dirties the hands?” “The all-encompassing preoccupation with sex in the Arab mind emerges clearly in two manifestations ...” “In the Arab view of human nature, no person is supposed to be able to maintain incessant, uninterrupted control over himself. Any event that is outside routine everyday occurrence can trigger such a loss of control ... Once aroused, Arab hostility will vent itself indiscriminately on all outsiders.” According to a review by Brian Whitaker.

Daniel Pipes “There is no escaping the unfortunate fact that Muslim government employees in law enforcement, the military and the diplomatic corps need to be watched for connections to terrorism.”

Ron Pisaturo in an article in Capitalism magazine, “The rights of one American, whether a soldier or a civilian, are worth more than the lives of all men, women and children in all these nations combined. Over time, pioneers, with the paid support of our military, can go into these isolated territories, subdue the remaining savages, install a civilized, colonial government protecting the rights of both the pioneers and the savages, and settle the land--as American pioneers subdued the savage, murderous American Indian tribes and settled America.”

Pat Robertsonis quoted as saying “You say you’re supposed to be nice to the Episcopalians and the Presbyterians and the Methodists and this, that, and the other thing. Nonsense! I dont have to be nice to the spirit of the Antichrist. I can love the people who hold false opinions, but I don’t have to be nice to them.”

Michael Savage, radio talkshow host has been saying some pretty atrocious things about Arabs and Muslims on his program. According to Savage, “Arabs aren’t really human and most Americans would just like to drop a nuclear bomb on them - any of them”.
- On his May 11 and May 12, 2004, radio shows, Savage called Arabs “non-humans” and “racist, fascist bigots”; asserted that Americans would like to “drop a nuclear weapon” on any Arab country; and that “these people” in the Middle East “need to be forcibly converted to Christianity” in order to “turn them into human beings.”

Jay Severin said he believes that Muslims in this country are a fifth column.

Walid Shoebat In an interview in response to the question - what is your message for the Jewish people?  As an afterthought, but said with a sense of great urgency, the former terrorist turned lover of Zion implored the Nation of Israel, ”Please take back the holy Temple Mount.”

Gene Simmons, rock star called Islam a vile culture that treats women worse than dogs.

Ali Sina Faith Freedom.org.  “At FFI, we do not want to reform Islam. We want to eradicate it. Just as cancer cannot be reformed and the only way to cure the patient is to eradicate it, Islam cant be reformed either and it must be eradicated for the world to be saved.””

Mark Alexander, Islam induces a frame of mind akin to fanaticism.

President Bush said in a speech: “Some call this evil Islamic radicalism; others, militant Jihadism; still others, Islamo-fascism.”

Yitschak Ben Gad consul general of Israel to Florida and Puerto Rico, said Muslims will always regard people of other faiths as second-class citizens. “They hate the Christians in Lebanon and they hate the Jews in Israel,” Ben Gad said.

Justin Daar, We are fighting Islam

Paul Erdman In the United States it has become politically incorrect in intellectual and political circles to even think in terms of a War between Civilizations. Yet that is precisely what we are talking about here. The Quran is the root source of the escalating Islam terrorism.

Earle Green said in the Tallahassee Democrat: “Unlike Tony Blair’s assertion after the London bombings that the cause is linked to promotion of “a perverted and poisonous misinterpretation of Islam,” politicians should stop trying to whitewash Islam and recognize that it is the root cause. Any individual who will take the time to read the entire Quran will find that it provides a clear ideology supporting and encouraging terrorist activity. The terrorists are nothing more than Muslims who are taking their religion seriously. As long as we continue to allow our thirst for oil and commitment to tolerance to keep us in denial of this dirty truth, we will continue to live with the bombs.”

Dr. James Hutchins President of The Jerusalem Connection said that “moderate Muslims don’t follow the Qur’an.”

Charles Krauthammer, the Qur’an inspires terrorism

Letters to the Editor
- Ventura County Star “Islam is not about hatred and violence. It’s about peace and justice.” Any Muslim who tries to convince us of that is trying to whitewash Islam. We are not stupid. We can read the Quran for ourselves. To be Muslim and not follow the Quran is blasphemy. It is full of violence and hatred, and it suppresses the rights of all women.”
- Contra Costa Times Muslims ”have forfeited their rights as citizens.”
- Tribune and Georgian ,Americans need to be aware of the Muslim scourge within

Rush Limbaugh - On the July 17, 2005, broadcast of his radio program, Limbaugh announced a new “advertising campaign” for the U.S. detention facility at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, in which he would call the facility “Club G’itmo, the Muslim resort,” a “tropical paradise down there where Muslim extremists and terrorist wannabes can get together for rest and relaxation.” On his website, he sold “Club G’itmo” T-shirts that read: “I Got My Free Koran and Prayer Rug at G’itmo,” “Your Tropical Retreat from the Stress of Jihad,” “My Mullah went to Club G’itmo and All I Got Was This Lousy T-Shirt,” and “What Happens in G’itmo Stays in G’itmo.”

Hal Lindsey, enormity of Muslim threat unrecognized

Edwin Locke said that “the terrorists motivation is Islam”

Bill O’Reilly On the October 27 edition of Fox News’ The O’Reilly Factor, host Bill O’Reilly called the idea of closing public schools for the observance of Muslim holidays “absurd in a Judeo-Christian country.”

Jason Pappas, Islam will be a threat to civilization as long as it exists

Daniel Pipes said: “Conversion to Islam substantially increases the probability of a person’s involvement in terrorism.”

Daniel Pipes, Europe is under siege

Pat Robertson blurred the distinction between radical Islamists and the Muslim community at large, claiming that Islam instructs its followers to commit acts of terrorism, and said that the ‘real war is Islam vs. Judaeo-Christian ideology”

Donald Rumsfeld warns of Islamic superstate if U.S. leaves Iraq

Michael A. Smerconish On the November 23 broadcast of Fox News’ The Radio Factor, guest host took issue with a recent decision by the New Jersey Sports and Exposition Authority to provide a designated prayer area at Giants Stadium. The decision was in response to a September 19 incident involving the FBI’s detention and questioning of five Muslim men who were observed praying near the stadium’s main air duct during a New York Giants football game. Smerconish stated: “I just think that’s [the men’s public praying] wrong. I just think they’re playing a game of, you know, mind blank with the audience. And that they should know better four years removed from September 11.”

Paul Sperry “But the officials in Washington leading the fight against this enemy still don’t get it. They still don’t understand the enemy’s motivation, or at least won’t talk candidly about it. A virtual taboo exists in official circles about Islam’s role in terrorism. It is treated as if it comes out of the blue, as if there is no religious pattern.”

Barbara J. Stock “Islam is a shell game. Assisted by the “if it bleeds, it leads” motto of the media, Islam is able to keep the world’s attention on the terrorist attacks while “peaceful Islam” quietly goes about the business of taking over entire countries and working its way into the fabric of the legal and governmental systems of others. American Muslims are now petitioning that the call to prayer be blasted over loud speakers five times a day in quiet neighborhoods and towns. This is Islam’s next step in using democracy to destroy democracy. Always on the move, the quiet side of Islam is every bit as dangerous as the terrorists. The goals are the same, only the method varies.”

J. Grant Swank objects to Muslim request by saying: That’s right. The killing cult known as “Islam” is actually proposing that the Muslim fast known as “Ramadan” be recognized by the US Congress as a “holy month of fasting and spiritual renewal.”

J. Grant Swank“Muslim fanatics are cultists—a part of a killing cult. Civilized countries put down killing cults. They don’t permit them to exist alongside legitimate religions.”

Bruce Tefft (A former top official of the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency) “Islamic terrorism is based on Islam as revealed through the Qu’ran, keynote speaker in a panel discussion at the University of Toronto on jihad and global terrorism.” The session, was sponsored by the Friends of Simon Wiesenthal Center and the Speakers Action Group.

Tom Tancredo, R-Colo., in an interview with WND, said he believes the chickens are coming home to roost in France because, for years, the country with the largest Islamic population in Europe has ignored rising Muslim tensions within its own borders. The real issue the French “are now dealing with,” he said, “is [that] you cannot integrate some people into your society.”

Srdja Trifkovic said: Winning is impossible unless 1.3 billion Muslims are either secularized or else converted to something other than Islam. To put it crudely, winning means either that Muslims have been westernized -that is to say, made as willing as Christians to see their religion first relativized, then mocked, and its commandments misrepresented or ignoredח?or else Christianized, which of course cannot happen unless there is a belated, massive, and unexpected recovery of Western spiritual and moral strength.
