The other day in Athens, a source of Western civilization, a 26-year-old, uncivilized Muslim psychopath left a suitcase in an abandoned building containing the dead, presumably dismembered body of Elizabeth Ross, a 38-year-old British woman. The Muslim was reported to have murdered her, because, as he told his wife, she would not stop talking about her Christian faith.
In Dearborn, Michigan, a known American publicity hound named Jack Lang was carrying a sign praising Jesus when Muslims nearby were commemorating the historic assassination of one of their own; and for this Lang was pummeled by furious Muslims.
These people are thugs. Theirs is a culture of thugs incapable of tolerating others who do not agree that Muhammad was the greatest prophet of them all.
Islam preaches that infidels deserve death if they don’t convert — with exceptions made for Jews and Christians allowed not to convert; but they must pay a whopping, annual, communal, humiliating jezya tax for the right to continue practicing their erroneous faiths. And one factor that produced this waiver is that the Jews and Christians were needed in Muslim communities because the average Muslim was a useless illiterate. For example, in 1679, in Yemen, the reigning Shiite priest expelled all the Jews, during which exile into the Mauza desert some died before the Muslims realized they had expelled all their craftsmen and businessmen invited the survivors to return.
Islam as a community inside a non-Muslim society wants the host people to accept Islam, exactly as many of the starving Jewish captives in Gaza after October 7 were tempted to convert for more food; 24-7 hunger pangs is no picnic. One estimate is that 60% of them did, and they did the right thing. Of course, they did this to survive. A wholly insincere conversion to this vicious religion is “pikuach nefesh,” saving a life that overrides even the Shabbat.
Islam is a culture of bullies, whose Koran commands oppressing and humiliating Jews, but don’t expect official Israel to point this out. The Prime Minister wouldn’t dream of speaking this truth about Islam, not when he wants the Saudis, “Guardians of the Two Mosques in Mecca and Medina,” to enter into friendly, neighborly, commercial relations with the Jewish state. Prince MbS has said yes to joining the misnamed Abraham Accords — on condition Israel hands over Judea and Samaria to the “Palestinians” whose preferred political faction is the Muslim Brotherhood. Asking the Saudis to make nice to the Jews in their independent state with Jerusalem as the Jews’ capital is asking him to stop being a Muslim.
Islam is a predatory association whose essential mission in life is destroying all other religions and the imposition of Islam as the only, universally recognized, correct religion, with murder a legitimate tactic toward this goal. For example, a Muslim is entitled to confront a polytheist in Africa, order him to convert, and if he refuses, the Believer has the right to kill him.
Online the other day was a statistic compiled by the Observatory for Religious Freedom in Africa. Between October 2019 and September 2025, 22,835 Christians were murdered by Muslims in Nigeria.
One of the evils of antisemitism is that it distracts attention from these anti-Christian massacres; the kidnapping, forced conversions and marriages. Any self-identified Christian Israel-basher who says nothing of these thousands of murdered co-religionists is a hypocrite.
It is a lie that Islam is one of the three great Abrahamic religions. Abraham was chosen by G-d to be His missionary to polytheistic mankind for his kindness, and there is no kindness in these Nigerian Muslims who believe they have the right to kidnap Christians, force them to convert and become their wives, functionally their slave women. This is a kind religion?
Islam is now clearly in occupation of the city of Dearborn, Michigan. The public school cafeterias serve only Halal meat, which is yet more Muslim plagiarizing of the Jewish religion, in this case the very concept of a dietary discipline. There is not one original, religious idea in Islam not stolen from the Jews. Theirs is a history over thousands of years before Islam’s theft of Judaism, of being nomadic, illiterate, armed robbers.
They are now penetrating political offices across the United States, but the U.S. has yet to face the fact the country has been invaded by these enemies of the American way of life bent on destroying America.
In Europe’s major cities, hundreds of Muslims are known to commandeer a public space, e.g. a major traffic artery, and go down on their personal prayer mats to pray facing Mecca — and American municipalities, when this happens, should disperse them immediately, using water cannon spewing a foul-smelling stench that sticks to the clothes and skin. These impromptu prayer sessions must be in law absolutely forbidden and those arrested in them be given a prison sentence at hard labor after which they be expelled from the country.
Islam must be publicly singled out by the America’s national government as a polygamous ideology and as such an illegal community, its mosques judged criminal institutions for promoting polygamy, which is illegal in every state.
Islam’s innate hatred of Jews is on display in the Koran and the historical record of Islam’s persecution of them on a daily basis from the beginning under Muhammad to the present day. Its preachers today spread the lie that the Zionists stole Palestine from its indigenous people, which in their sub-civilized minds justifies October 7’s antisemitic orgy of cruelty.
In a recent USA Today piece, Hassan Piker was quoted, “Zionism is the ethnoreligious supremacist ideology that is exterminationist in principle, born out of the wrong assessment that this was a land without people for a people without land. It required the extermination of the indigenous population, and that’s precisely what has happened since its inception. And its final iteration of that has been the Gaza genocide that we watched unfold.”
This is one lie after another. Where in the voluminous writings of Jewish Zionists a century ago did any of them describe their movement as a “supremacist ideology determined to exterminate an indigenous people”? This is a fine description of Islam’s view of itself as a “supremacist ideology determined to exterminate all other” religions projected onto the Jews.
Worse, the historical record is perfectly clear: Before Zionism, 19th century Palestine was a barren wasteland. No roads. No wheeled traffic. Travel around the country was accomplished on the backs of beasts of burden plodding along age-old animal tracks. American novelist Herman Melville visited in 1857 said the country was a “caked…depopulated Hell.”
Six years before the Balfour Declaration, the Encyclopedia Britannica of 1911 said 55 different languages were spoken in Palestine by the different communities and not one of them was called “Palestinian,” spoken by people who called themselves “Palestinians” and were called that by others. Someone has to teach Mr. Piker the truth there never was a Palestinian people, and the Zionists stole nothing. His fake history is nothing but an antisemitic fantasy.
Piker’s knowledge of pre-Zionist Palestine is non-existent. To travel from Jaffa to Jerusalem was a two-day affair on the backs of animals, accompanied by armed men as escorts to defend the travelers from predatory Bedouin, especially at night. Going up to Jerusalem from Jaffa was a two-day affair requiring camping for the night. And when a pilgrim reached the Holy City, he discovered it smelled for the indifferent sanitation under the Muslims.
The Romans ruled the Promised Land for two centuries and left behind evidence of their presence, like the amphitheaters at Caesarea and Bet Shean Israelis still use for outdoor concerts.
But what did these imaginary “Palestinians” ever build in their allegedly beloved ancient homeland? Nothing. Piker and his pathological soulmates hate Jews for a crime that never happened.
Muslims don’t belong in the U.S. For 47 years, the prelates in Teheran organized mass rallies of men and boys chanting, “Death to America! Death to Israel!” so Americans have no right to look away today from the truth that Muslims in America are enemies who must be treated rationally by first accepting their hostility as a given in their culture.
What is happening is what historian Bat Ye’or described as dhimmitude, the process whereby an infidel community learns to submit (Islam means submission) to the demands of these violent people. In California and Massachusetts, there are efforts in the former to include the study of Islam in public schools, and of course the material will show nothing but respect and praise for this allegedly Abrahamic religion. In Massachusetts too, there is a drive to spend taxpayers’ money on promoting Muslim employment in government positions.
What is needed is a president unlike Donald Trump who apparently knows little of Islam and the Arab culture that informs this religion. In his eyes, the Arabs are fellow billionaires ripe for making deals, with The Donald seeing himself the Rembrandt of deals. The U.S. needs leaders who will speak the truth about Islam, unlike Trump who calls Erdogan the Jew-hating Turkish thug a friend.
Admittedly, Americans speaking out against Islam will need courage because these totalitarian enemies of civilians make no distinction between enemy soldiers in uniform on a battle field and thousands of enemy civilians working in their World Trade Center offices. The word assassin derives from Arab culture.
If the U.S. is not to go the way of western Europe, it must fight for its right to speak the truth about this barbaric religion that produced the homicidal sex maniacs of October 7. Americans must resist any attempts to defend Islam’s presence in American society whose principal author of its Declaration of Independence and author of the Virginia Stature for Religious Freedom and its third president, Mr. Jefferson, went to war (1801-1805) against Muslim Tripoli menacing America with their jihad. The misnamed Barbary Pirates were not pirates but the official navies of four Muslim powers who justified hijacking commercial ships belonging to infidels and enslaving their passengers and crews, as legitimate warfare in their eternal jihad. In 1786 in London, an Arab sheikh told Mr. Jefferson to his face the jihad is eternal.
Islam, not “Palestinian nationalism,” not “Democratic Socialism,” is the enemy.
