Islam
I don't want to be at war a hundred years from now, either, but...
Clifford D. May, A Hundred Years of War?:
A hundred years from now, Americans might still be fighting militant Islamists in Iraq and other places. What could be worse than that? A hundred years from now, America and the West could have been defeated by militant Islamists.
Al-Qaeda, Iran’s ruling mullahs, Hezbollah, and others militant jihadis have told us what they are fighting for. The well-known Islamist, Hassan al-Banna, described the movement’s goals succinctly: "to dominate...to impose its laws on all nations and to extend its power to the entire planet." He said that in 1928. Who would have believed then that his heirs would acquire the wealth, power, and lethality they enjoy today? Who can say where they may be 100 years from now? Who can say where the West will be? Survival is not an entitlement. Freedom must be earned by every generation.
So it's okay to name your sons Muhammad, but...
From the Religion of Peace™ Department: A fifty-four year-old English woman, a teacher at a school in Sudan, has been arrested for allowing her students--seven and eight year-olds--to name a teddy bear "Muhammad". The article notes, "It is seen as an insult to Islam to attempt to make an image of the Prophet Muhammad." This seems to be a fundamental problem with Islam: Allah and Muhammad appear to be really, really insecure. I'm trying to discern the logic with which the determination is made that by merely naming a teddy bear "Muhammad", this somehow is the equivalent of "making an image of the Prophet". Really? Yet it's perfectly okay to name your male offspring--living, breathing humans, just like the former Prophet himself--"Muhammad". Is not the latter more of "an image of the Prophet" than a teddy bear? Jesus gets insulted all the time, yet you don't see Christians running around, throwing the insulters in jail, threatening them with jail time and physical beatings (these are known in the land of sharia as "lashes"). You don't hear about Christians burning mosques down around the world, because the Islamists declare Jesus to have only been a prophet, and not the Son of God; it's always the Muslims burning down the churches. If Allah is as merciful as Muslims claim him to be, you'd think he wouldn't really care all that much that someone might name a teddy bear after his chief prophet.
