Terrorism and Islamic extremists have become a staple in the nightly news, White House sound bites, and newspaper headlines. We always seem to be just about there with putting these handful of nutty Jihadis out of business permanently. Just about there. Any time now. Almost done, and then the lull.
Massive explosions shook downtown Someplace, Somewhere. The Allah Al-Akbar Waka-Muslim game starts all over again. New strategies, new weapons deals, and a new "moderate" Muslim ally we can count on to quell the oddly Al-Queda like junior varsity extremists cadre. It's Groundhog Day in or around the Fertile Crescent, the birthplace of misguided preoccupation.
America took up the banner of being the Arsenal of Democracy after World War II. In truth, we manufactured the banner, staff, and the occupation on our own. However, we did not live up to our lofty job title. We jumped between the sheets with every two-bit thug with a national check book at his disposal. If there wasn't one, we'd depose the elected government and install one we found to be more "democratic and freedom oriented" whatever covered our covert intentions.
We pay for the sins of our ancestors, sometimes immediate ancestors, or elected office predecessors. We don't always live up to our own expectations.
Moderate Islam is portrayed as a religion of peace, tolerance, and is accredited with giving us numerals we can easily multiply. Oprah gave it a thumbs up and so does every politician and U.S. Government, Corp. compensated public relations speaker. Yea Allah!
But don't you draw Muhammad or these peaceful, tolerant, numerate devotees will #%$&ing kill you en mass at the market and car bomb you at the disco. Yea Allah!
The First Amendment to the Constitution guarantees:
Does this Right cover any and all actions of Religion? No! For instance, some religions may call for human sacrifice and such an exercise is not covered under the "free exercise thereof" clause. Yet, the faithful of Islam are called by their prophet, the Messenger of Allah, Muhammad, to do precisely this kind of exercise in the practice of Islam (Arabic for "submission").
Does this Right cover political action, sedition, and economic subversion? Obviously not. However, these things are part and parcel within the practice of Islam. The Islamic republic is the model of what Islam seeks to achieve world wide. It is called Dar al-Islam, and that is the intended goal of Muslims. Individuals may disagree on how to implement and achieve Dar al-Islam, but make no mistake this is their goal.
Painting Islam as just another religion of peace is a disservice to understanding the threat that our Constitution, our nation, and our beliefs face. It's like fighting Communism while claiming Communism is great.
There is apparently no shortage of "Islamic extremists" because Islam is inherently extreme. While one hand calls for tolerance and peace the other supports Jihad as we seek to support the "moderates" in this desert of the extreme.
Islam in both theory and practice calls for the subjugation of all non-Muslim believers. This constitutes a call to arms among Muslims who practice what their prophet preached and their illah (god) commands. There is no middle ground for the moderates we hear so much about to occupy. The Koranic landscape allows for only dominance or submission.
The all-encompassing nature of Sharia law reveals the true nature of Islam as a political, judicial, and economic ideology wrapped in a viel (perhaps "burka, is a more appropriate analogy) of religion.

Are Muslims evil? No! Again NO! They are the children of God who are being misled in believing that Allah is the God of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and Ishmael. They are kept ignorant of the caustic nature of Islam, and we should be reaching out to them. This is a difficult task since as a part of the Islamic ideology the adherent is warned never to question or examine their faith and conversion (apostasy) is punishable by death.
Remember what gentle Jesus said,
“Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly are ravening wolves. By their fruits you will know them. Do you gather grapes from thorns, or figs from thistles? Even so, every good tree produces good fruit; but the corrupt tree produces evil fruit. A good tree can’t produce evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree produce good fruit. Every tree that doesn’t grow good fruit is cut down, and thrown into the fire. Therefore by their fruits you will know them." -Matthew 7:15-20

I agree we should be reaching out to them, how do you think Jesus would reach out to them? When humans are born into certainty, a certainly just as strong as our love for our rock our one and only almighty Father Jesus Christ. How could we begin to approach them on their solid beliefs??
First, we must be able to speak the Truth. Political correctness stifles Truth by labeling it "offensive", "hateful", and "phobia". This response is identical to cult behavior where members are isolated from Truth, fed lies, and told outsiders are trying to hurt and\or mislead them. Islam is by nature insular because it cannot withstand outside criticism and comparison.
