Muslims are not afraid to declare that
they are engaged in a religious war against all infidels. So how come we in the West are afraid to admit that, in fact, we
are at war with Islam?
"Allah has chosen you for
Himself and for His religion," al-Astal preached, "so that you will
serve as the engine pulling this nation to the phase of succession,
security and consolidation of power, and even to conquests through
da'wa and military conquests of the capitals of the entire world.
"Very
soon, Allah willing, Rome will be conquered, just like Constantinople
was, as was prophesized by our prophet Muhammad," [Yunis al-Astal, "a prominent Muslim cleric and Hamas member of the Palestinian parliament", said].
Perhaps that should be our position unless and until we see Muslims protest these kinds of comments in, at least,
the same number as they protest what are perceived as "insults" to Islam.
Instead there is nothing but silence from the Islamic world when these kinds of comments come out. And I'm supposed to believe that Islam is the "religion of peace"? I don't think so.
