America: Break The Silence On Islam
Mar. 23, 2010 - The author makes a case for not considering Islam a legitimate religion according to the standards of the First Amendment. He argues that, unlike other peace-oriented religions, orthodox Islam is violent and destructive. Other religions may go astray, but then they can be reformed by returning to the precepts of their holy writings. Islam cannot correct itself in this way. He explains:

The purpose of this indoctrination is to convince Christians to view Islam as a moderate religion and to support the Islamic Society of North America.
- The Muslim Brotherhood is the Sunni transnational movement founded in Egypt in 1928 that has spawned most of the major terrorist movements in the world, including al-Qaida and Hamas. It's aim is to make Islamic law supreme over the world.
