We are Not at War with Islam – Islam is at War with Us
September 13, 2010 – Paul Williams, PhD
President Barack Obama, speaking to a gathering at the Pentagon in commemoration of 9/11, said. “As Americans, we will not or ever be at war with Islam.”
Maybe not, but Islam is at war with us.
Less than one percent of the residents of the United States are Muslim.
This portion of the population remains almost statistically insignificant.
Of roughly 4.6 million Muslims in the Americas, more than half live in the United States although they only make up 0.8 percent of the population there. About 700,000 people in Canada are Muslim, or about two percent of the total population. – Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life, October 2009
Yet Muslims have wrecked more death and destruction on American soil than the combined toll of all political, social, and religious hate groups, including the Ku Klux Khan.
This disconcerting fact runs counter to the claims of government officials, political pundits, religious leaders, and the occupants of the Oval Office.
Over 3,500 Americans have been killed by Muslims within the continental borders of the United States during the past four decades. These killings include the murderous rampage by Major Malik Nidal Hasan at Fort Hood, the slaughter at the Trolley Square Mall in Salt Lake City, the attack on a Jewish Center in Seattle, and the random murders by the Beltway snipers.
The 3,500 figure does not include murders and attacks committed in the name of Allah that have been dismissed by law enforcement officials as unprovoked homicides, acts of temporary insanity, and incidents of domestic violence.
And it does not include the tens of thousands who have been maimed and wounded by Muslim assailants, let alone the thousands of young girls who have been genitally mutilated.
Nearly five times more American civilians have been murdered by Muslims in the United States than the total number of U.S. soldiers killed in Operation Enduring Freedom, i.e., the war in Afghanistan.
The U.S.A. has experienced more than 70 incidents of Islamic terror within its borders in recent years.
Apart from the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, American soldiers and civilians have been attacked and killed in such diverse places as Kenya, Lebanon, Tanzania, and Yemen.
The problem with Islam is not endemic to the United States. Over 90% of the conflicts within today’s world from China to Chechnya, from Somalia to the Sudan, from Afghanistan to Argentina, from the Balkans to the Philippines, from Indonesia to India, from Iran to Iraq, from Pakistan to Denmark, from Britain to Bangladesh involve a manifestation of Islam.
Four Islamist attacks occur every day.
There is a problem with Islam – – a problem that will never be corrected until it is addressed.
