No matter what we do Muslims will threaten violence

If a Florida whackjob burns a book, Muslims will be "provoked" into violence.

If Imam Rauf is forced to move his Death to America Victory Mosque away from Ground Zero, Muslims will also be "provoked" into violence.

If a Danish newspaper publishes some cartoons, Muslims resort to violence.

If Angela Merkel honors the cartoonist, Muslims threaten violence.

If Theo Van Gogh makes a film, Muslims react with violence.

If Geert Wilders gives a speech, Muslims plan more violence.

If Ayaan Hirsi Ali leaves Islam, Muslims condemn her to a violent death.

If anyone criticizes Islam, the Fatwas come fast and furious. Violence surely follows.

The pattern is unmistakeable. Islam begets violence.

It doesn't matter what anyone else does, or doesn't do. The effect is the same.

It's time we stopped trying to appease the unappeaseable.

For the better part of two decades, Americans have been murdered by Islamists and then lectured that they are to blame for what has befallen them. We have been instructed in the need for special sensitivity to the unceasing demands of Islamic culture and falsely accused of intolerance by the people who wrote the book on intolerance. Americans have sacrificed blood and bottomless treasure for Islamic peoples who despise Americans — and despise us even more as our sacrifices and gestures of self-loathing intensify. Americans have watched as apologists for terrorists and sharia were made the face of an American Muslim community that we were simultaneously assured was the very picture of pro-American moderation.

It is not our fault that Islam is incompatible with American values and societal mores. We shouldn't have to apologize for "un-Islamic" actions, words, or thoughts. It is absurd to even try, because the mere fact of our existence is reason enough to cause offense.

Religion of Peace™ My Ass.

The "extremists", said to be a small minority, are actually a mass movement riding a tide of ascendancy. They are winning hearts and minds while we self-flagellate our way into subservience.

"Moderate Islam" is a dream, not a reality. It is a dream with potential, because there are millions of Muslims who are moderate people, and because there are dedicated Muslims working to transform their faith into something that is institutionally moderate. But they work against great odds. They confront Islamists whose dedication to theocratic principles is deeply and undeniably rooted in Islamic scripture.

The mythical Moderate Muslim is just that, an apocryphal mirage conjured up in a vain attempt to dissuade us from believing that which we see with our own eyes. He won't speak out for fear of the "extremists". He won't stand up to their beligerency either.

For him to do so is to invoke the wrath of the extremists and paint a bulls-eye on his own back. It is far easier to demur, and deflect the ire onto a bigger, more deserving target. Like America.

It is time for us to say "no". No, we won't be intimidated. No, we won't tolerate intolerance. No, we cannot guarantee you won't be offended. And, no you do not have the right to use our own good nature against us.

Mark Steyn::

Muslims say that any offense to Islam is cause enough for violence. Very well. Come forth then and act like barbarians. We know all too well how to deal with barbarians. We've done it time and again, from the halls of Montezuma to the shores of Tripoli.
