The war started in the 7th century and lasted through the 17th. I would contend it never stopped but historically the facts below are correct. This is why I choke when I hear someone say we will defeat or contain these Islamic terrorists in a few years or even 30 years as recently stated by Leon Panetta.
If the latest batch of murders, beheadings, and killing of innocent Christians has shocked you, maybe you should read this compilation of historical facts about the hatred of Muslims.
WE, THE STUPID
This is all factually (and historically) correct – and verifiable:
- In 732 AD the Muslim Army which was moving on Paris was defeated and turned back at Tours, France, by Charles Martel. In 1571 AD the Muslim Army/ Navy was defeated by the Italians and Austrians as they tried to cross the Mediterranean to attack southern Europe in the Battle of Lepanto.
- In 1683 AD the Turkish Muslim Army, attacking Eastern Europe, was finally defeated in the Battle of Vienna by German and Polish Christian Armies.
…this crap has been going on for 1,400 years and half of the politicians don’t even know it.
- If these battles had not been won we might be speaking Arabic and Christianity could be non-existent; Judaism certainly would be… And let us not forget that Hitler was an admirer of Islam and that the Mufti of Jerusalem was Hitler’s guest in Berlin and raised Bosnian Muslim SS Divisions: the 13th and 21st Waffen SS Divisions who killed Jews, Russians, Gypsies, and any other “subhumans”.
Reflecting:
A lot of Americans have become so insulated from reality that they imagine that America can suffer defeat without any inconvenience to themselves.
- In 2002, reporter Daniel Pearl was kidnapped and beheaded by—you guessed it was a Muslim male. (Plus two other American journalists were just beheaded)
- On 9/11/01, four airliners were hijacked; two were used as missiles to take down the World Trade Centers and of the remaining two, one crashed into the US Pentagon and the other was diverted and crashed by the passengers. Thousands of people were killed by Muslim males.
- In 1993, the World Trade Center was bombed the first time by Muslim males.
- In 1985, the cruise ship Achille Lauro was hijacked and a 70 year old American passenger was murdered and thrown overboard in his wheelchair by Muslim males.
- During the 1980’s a number of Americans were kidnapped in Lebanon by Muslim males.
- In 1973 a Pan Am 707 was destroyed in Rome, with 33 people killed, when it was attacked with grenades by Muslim males.
- In 1972 at the Munich Olympics, athletes were kidnapped and massacred by Muslim males.
- Pause a moment, reflect back. These events are actual events from history. They really happened! Do you remember?
- In 1968, Bobby Kennedy was shot and killed by a Muslim male.
- In 1972 a Pan Am 747 was hijacked and eventually diverted to Cairo where a fuse was lit on final approach. It was blown up shortly after landing by Muslim males.
- In 1979, the US embassy in Iran was taken over by Muslim males.
- In 1983, the US Marine barracks in Beirut was blown up by Muslim males.
- In 1985, TWA flight 847 was hijacked at Athens, and a US Navy diver trying to rescue passengers was murdered by Muslim males.
- In 1988, Pan Am Flight 103 was bombed by Muslim males.
- In 1998, the US embassies in Kenya and Tanzania were bombed by Muslim males.
- In 2002, the United States fought a war in Afghanistan against Muslim males.
- In 2013, Boston Marathon Bombing 4 Innocent people including a child killed, 264 injured by Muslim males.
No, I really don’t see a pattern here to justify profiling, do you?
So, to ensure we Americans never offend anyone, particularly fanatics intent on killing us, political correctness mandates we will no longer be allowed to profile certain people.
So, ask yourself “Just how stupid are we???”

How stupid?
America elected Barack and returned him to office.
America’s current front runner in national polls is Hillary Clinton, the Bitch of Benghazi, a serial liar and mountebank.
I’d say that’s stupid.
+1
How stupid? Well, Here’s a hint.
I am a part time range officer at a large municipal range in southeast Florida. (I’m told that the 9/11 martyrs practiced at this range) Myself and my fellow ROs have been virtually begging for training to help us spot deviant behavior. Nothing fancy, just what to look for and how to communicate this information and to whom.
Of course, nothing has happened, our requests have been ignored.
Mind you that the group of about 20 ROs are mostly ex military & a few ex LEOs. Not your ordinary sheep, but still no training.
The politically correct (PC) cause has allowed folks to alter our language and thought patterns. PC has altered our schools and textbooks, removing information that doesn’t further their cause. We allow the State to teach our children, they get the education that the State wants them to have.
Maybe I just need to up my pain meds a little…
cannot understand how it is that so many complain about the schools- including many teachers who are stuck there– and who spend hours ‘unteaching’ their kids the Godless garbage with which the kids are laved every day, will not consider homeschooling.
i did it. it is easy and enjoyable.
Not to mention that hood ol’ Vlad the Impalaler, he who would morph into Dracula, was impaling muslim invaders of his country, Romania, in order to discourage them.
One of the biggest, most dangerous failings of liberalism is that it denies the reality of evil as it reduces everything to how someone feels. People FEEL that if we are nice to these invaders, they’ll be nice back. The real world doesn’t work like that.
You didn’t mention the Khobar Tower bombing in 1996. Of course, you can’t very well list them all. The reason I bring it up is to note that Obama announced Gitmo detainee Shaker Aamer will soon be released to the U.K.
Aamer was cleared for release (which doesn’t mean the same thing as “innocent”) in 2007, but only to Saudi Arabia. He refused to go, supposedly because his wife and kids are in London, although it’s not like they couldn’t fly there. His real problem is that he’s wanted in Saudi Arabia — and that’s where the Khobar bombing comes in. According to his secret file, he left Saudi right after those bombers were arrested.
This is the guy whose voice was heard whining from his cell when 60 Minutes did a segment on Gitmo last year. Leftbots are in tears over him, and are currently taking turns fasting for a day in a symbolic hunger strike. There are a number of British celebrities and politicians joining in. It’s amazing how much the left has embraced the jihad community.
If it were up to me, he’d have been sent home to Saudi Arabia long ago, and some of his supporters would now be living in his old cell.
America has forgotten how to make war, since WWII. (Not the armed forces, the American people.) We make war like pussies these days. A proper war attacks the military and civil population of the enemy, and continues to make war until the other side unconditionally surrenders or is annihilated.
These days, we fight for a while, spill precious American blood, then declare victory and come home. The war isn’t over and it won’t e over until surrender is achieved.
+1.
As a country, it seems we worry more about being “liked”, then for getting the job done.
I think if we got the job done, and then got out, we would be respected as a country, which in the long run is more desirable.
And the civilian citizens of America haven’t had to make any sacrifice in any war/conflict/military action/whathaveyou since WWII. I think if we had to, the polls which the pols all follow blindly would be different. Folks who are joining the military are a very small percentage of the overall population, as a result, the liberals and media can sway large numbers of sheeple the way they want, which leads to all the PC nonsense.
Suz
LL/WSF- Sadly true… dammit.
Roger- I find that amazing… NO training??? WTF???
WN- Good point!
PH- VERY true, ‘feelings’ don’t do well against real violence!
Randy- You’re right, I forgot about Khobar. I hadn’t heard Aamer was going to be sent to England though… He ‘should’ be sent to Saudi and I’m sure they wouldn’t be gentle in dealing with him… sigh
In 1989, the wife of the Vincennes captain was nearly killed in an attempted car bombing, in retaliation for the shoot down of the Airbus in 1998.
http://articles.latimes.com/1989-03-11/news/mn-792_1_pipe-bomb
The buzz around San Diego at the time was that Iran directed the attempt. If this was true, there’s no way the .gov would admit it.
http://articles.latimes.com/1989-03-11/news/mn-830_1_pipe-bomb
Paw- Exactly… We haven’t ‘won’ a war since WWII, we’ve just bled a lot of good Americans out for nothing but political ‘peace’…
Suz- You’re also right on all counts. America is at the mall, and the American military is in a war… sigh
Grog- That’s another one I forgot, and that whole incident has been obfuscated/covered up to the point that I don’t know if we will EVER know the truth…
NFO, the truth of that incident will be known some decades in the future, about the same time scientists are studying this time of history and asking, “why are there skeletons with no teeth?” lol
To your original question, I’ll suggest the premise can be divided between three groups of people.
Group 1 is people such as ourselves, that take note of and discuss current social and political events, and arrive at accurate conclusions thereof, but would be persecuted to no end if we undertook the needed actions to remove said terrorists and America haters from the environment.
Group 2 is those “worthys” that believe in the PC lie and promote it, either for political or financial gain, or for “social justice”. These people don’t realize, however, that the muslims see no overall difference between the various social groups in America, we are all unbelievers to them. There are some groups, Veterans being the most hated, that will possibly be at the top of the list, but overall no difference.
Group 3 is those that are, as you described, insulated from reality. These lackeys can quote sports statistics, know the latest info regarding the many hollyweird image whores, are able to walk and text, have a gps in their prius but can’t read a Thomas guide-let alone a nautical chart, and wouldn’t know how to split a cord of wood if they were given a coloring book with instructions.
Anyway, I figure everyone that reads here already thinks and believes what I just typed, my intent wasn’t to act as Horace Greely did, but wanted to interject my 0.65 cents. Thanks for the space for the words.
2000 – USS Cole attacked by muslim males
Yes, we’re that stupid… sigh…
Sadly, too damned many of our fellow Americans are that stupid. They want to censor and marginalized the sheepdogs that are sounding the alarm. My wife and I homeschool so we do not have to undo the propaganda in the public schools.I will not be silenced.
Grog- Your’re dead on with the three groups, and of course WE are the smallest group… sigh
Tim- Yeah, agreed
Rick- Thank you for stepping up!
Yes, we’ve got some serious stupid going on.
If I may add my ‘ten penneth’ worth from dear old Blighty…
We are all paying the price that left wing political correctness brings, which is mainly due to spineless politician’s and piss poor leaders – the latter being Cameron and Obama, who are as much use as ten men missing.
Fortunately; the formation of the caliphate by ISIS-ISIL (odious scum by any other name), has forced Christian governments to wake up and look deep within their own borders to asses the true threat that lies within – Islamisation!
The war against Islamic extremism has to be fought on two fronts – at home, and on foreign soil. The caliphate should be the focal point for the next Crusade, and to hell with political correctness. Bah!
Yours Aye.
Mufti of Jerusalem. Indeed. Let us not forget his nephew and protégé, Rahman Abdul Rauf el-Qudwa el-Husseini, AKA Yasser Arafat. Then google “Hillary Clinton kisses Suha Arafat.
One major difference between then and now is length of attention span: t’was a time once when life ran by the seasons, now everything has to be resolved by the end of the commercial.
Ed- True!
EB- Excellent point, and looks like y’all are getting the same wakeup call…
RHT- Yep…
Alien- True, and that’s what the left ‘thinks’ is reality… sigh
