      Islam infests us while we remain passive with a live & let live attitude! In 1970 there were 80,000 Muslims in America. Now there are more than 10,000,000 of them!!! As do most Muslims living in the west, they draw a fine line between the necessity to survive within the rules of the democracies Islam wishes to replace with Sharia law, & out-spoken religious obligations of destroying all that is not Islam. Islam's objective is to Islamize the world. Their un-holy Qoran teaches to burn the infidel or convert him at the sword. Their original gang-leader, Mohammed, murdered most of the Jews in Medina, setting the stage to promulgate eternal hate for Jews & de-legitimization of Israel & Judaism (the very religion and Torah they now deprecate, Islam used as a basis for their own laws!). He set the convenient precedent for child molesters, pedophiliacs, by taking a 9 year old baby as a "wife,"...What kind of prophet is that? Mohammed bragged that he decapitated 800 Jewish children and praised Allah for it. What is Islam's message other than murder?! Islam is NOT a religion! It is a cult of political, pseudo-religion-like conspirators, in denial of what tenants of faith they put their faith in! They are only sorry to be caught using civilians as human shields; NOT sorry for the act itself, nor for their hateful convictions which drive Islam. It is too late to deter Muslim demographics in 'EU-rabia', but the rest of the free world had better take measures NOW against being overwhelmed & devoured by Islam. Confirm the truth of Islam's objectives: Visit thereligionofpeace.com
      Goldstone, Noam Chomsky, etc. are self hating Jews. Isaiah warned that great destruction would come from within. Well there they are. Islam is notorious for revising history, for trying to revise the Torah which came long before Islam was invented! They claim that Ishmael was Abraham's beloved son instead of Yitzchak, when the rest of the world knows for a fact that Ishmael was a "Wild ass", a bastard from Abraham's hand servant who he sent away; while so called "Palestinians" are notorious for revisionism, for creating themselves as a "people" from sheer non-existence (where they should return to)! Islam is a curse upon the world! It is way past time to remove Obama the Muslim and to re-claim our country, America, for freedom lovers, not divisive Sharia law lovers who want to use our democratic laws to destroy us from within!
      Obama has made it illegal for CORRECT terminology, such as 'Muslim Terrorist' or 'Jihadist' to be used!

      Why does our reason for interfering with Lybia not apply here? People are dying in the streets once again, yet those in power largely ignore what is going on. Syria should have dug up more oil I guess.
      • RA 9 mths ago
        1- The Syrians did not ask for America's help, like the Libyans did. The protesters are no friend of America or its allies.
        2- The protesters are Muslim fundamentalists, just recently praised by Al-Qaeda and other fanatic Imams in Saudi Arabia.
        3- America does not spend a single penny in aid to Syria; thus has no power whatsoever over that country.

        The Syrians do not want the American thugs to interfere.

        they're doing what they love to do, and that's killing each other forever more, so leave them alone unless they start on us.

      Where is the “RAGE” Obama? Are you trying to figure a way to blame Israel?
      • Vital Transformation 9 mths ago
        Obama approves of Muslim-mayhem. He hates Israel, so if there's nothing bad to say about Israel, he just shuts up.
    • MYSTERY  •  9 mths ago
      What kind of a government kills their own people that they are suppose to represent and protect. This inhumane acts have gone on for far too long. The world is in the 21st century yet some countries seem to still be in the medieval times. Insanity. Peacekeepers must first have some sort of peace to begin with in order to keep peace. When there is no peace at all the peacekeepers can not keep peace and maintain peace.

      The scumbagwormmeat anti-Zionist, anti-Semites are totally silent when Muslims go on a killing spree, as Muslims are prone to do every day. They only get upset when Israel defends itself against the violent Muslims maniacs. How true!

      ASSAD and his party think Syria is their fathers' property. They act exactly the way Islamic theocracy acts in Iran by killing their own people.
