Wikileaks pulls away the curtain; shows broad support for decapitating the Iranian regime in Islamic world

The Sunni Arab states know the Iranian threat is real and indeed the mini Gulf-states would be the first victims, with a shadow falling darkly over the Persian Gulf well before Iran is at the stage of launching nuclear-tipped missiles at Israel.

This is an issue that unites the Jewish state closely with it's Sunni Arab neighbors. Obama should be promoting a united front against Iran part of his outreach to the Muslim world. Jews and Muslims working together!

From the Jerusalem Post:

'Saudis on Iran: Cut off the head of the snake'

According to a report of the more than 250,000 cables, that appeared on The Guardian’s website, Saudi Arabia’s King Abdullah asked the US repeatedly to attack Iran and destroy its nuclear program, and in 2008 the monarchy’s envoy to Washington told US Gen. David Petraeus to “cut off the head of the snake.”

The Guardian noted that the Saudi king was recorded as having “frequently exhorted the US to attack Iran to put an end to its nuclear weapons program,” one cable stated.

And Saudi Arabia was not alone. According to the Guardian report, “officials in Jordan and Bahrain have openly called for Iran’s nuclear program to be stopped by any means, including military.”

Which VA Dems attended terror-linked mosque fundraiser?

2010-04-08T00:47:00.004-04:00

Transcript:

The terrorist-linked Dar al Hijrah Islamic Center held their annual fundraising banquet this past Saturday April 3 at the Fairview Park Marriott in Northern Virginia. Seven Virginia elected officials were featured as invited guests on the advertisement for the fundraiser.

Starting on February 17 we notified those seven officials about the terrorist links of Dar al Hijrahs past and current imams and congregants. Two of them, Senator James Webb and State Delegate Kaye Kory, had their name removed from the flyer in the weeks following our notifications. Yet on the eve of the fundraiser, the remaining five - Governor Tim Kaine, Conressmen Gerry Connolly and Jim Moran, and Fairfax County Supervisors Penny Gross and Sharon Bulova kept their names on the invitation.

On Saturday, concerned Virginia citizens including the Virginia Anti-Sharia Taskforce (VAST) and Act for America held a protest outside the hotel. Two local community members, who had purchased confirmed tickets days in advance, and had registered, and been issued nametags at the door, were later ejected by security guards before they could even enter the event. The next day they came to CSP, concerned about Dar-al-Hijrahs poor treatment of non-Muslims who are average citizens, while Dar-al-Hijrah actively invited non-Muslims who are elected officials.

We contacted the 5 remaining politicians on Monday. Congressman James Moran and Governor and DNC Chairman Tim Kaine confirmed they had not attended, while the other three refused to comment.

If he did attend, this wasnt Gerry Connollys first tribute to terrorist-linked Dar-al-Hijrah. We discovered an enthusiastic letter of support from him for Dar-Al-Hijrahs 25th Anniversary banquet in 2008, years after the mosque was widely known to be associated with terrorism.

In fact it appears from the letter that as Chairman of the Board of Supervisors of Fairfax County, he actually hosted the event. Connolly said quote, I am delighted to welcome you to Dar Al-Hijrah Islamic Centers 25th Anniversary Dinner We are honored to host such an outstanding group of individuals.

How long can Gerry Connolly and supervisors Gross and Bulova cover up whether they attended?

Its time to end the coverup. We encourage all concerned constituents to call, write and email their representatives demanding clear-cut answers.

Connect the dots on CAIR...

2010-03-17T23:24:00.004-04:00

New “CAIR Observatory” website connects the dots on CAIR’s foreign funding and lobbying

March 17, 2010:

WASHINGTON, DC – The Center for Security Policy announces the launch of the website CAIR Observatory at http://www.cairobservatory.org . The website presents comprehensive open-source evidence and analysis alleging that the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) has acted as a foreign agent on behalf of Iran, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Kuwait. The Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA) requires any agent of a foreign principal - including agents of foreign states, political parties, corporations, non-governmental organizations and even individuals - to register with the U.S. Department of Justice as a foreign agent.

The centerpiece of the website is the report “CAIR and the Foreign Agents Registration Act,” which details the foreign funding, foreign direction and domestic political influence operations of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) in the United States.

The report documents these CAIR activities as a foreign agent:

* CAIR received at least $2,192,203 in Contributions, Income and Money from foreign principals in the form of 10 distinct transactionsReceived a $2,106,251 mortgage loan from a foreign principal for their Washington, D.C. headquarters

* CAIR secured the promise of at least $54,500,000 in pledges from foreign principals

* CAIR met and coordinated with foreign principals on at least 30 occasions

* CAIR engaged in at least 50 political influence operations on behalf of foreign principals in the United States

The Center has additional evidence that cannot be made public at this time documenting an additional $2.4 million in foreign donations and loans given to CAIR since 2000.

The goal of the “CAIR Observatory” (http://www.cairobservatory.org) is to build a model for researching and compiling evidence of illegal behavior by Muslim Brotherhood front organizations, with a focus on organizations operating in the United States as unregistered foreign agents for the Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC) and its member states.

The website’s name-- “CAIR Observatory”-- is a direct counter to the so-called “Islamophobia Observatory” maintained by the Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC). The Jeddah, Saudi Arabia-based OIC has been a contributor to CAIR, and the two have a history of coordinated meetings, methodologies and goals. The website will be updated regularly with new evidence on CAIR’s ongoing activities as a currently unregistered foreign agent.

It's genocide unless Turkey does it...

2010-03-05T01:27:00.006-05:00

Turkish Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan is quick to accuse non-Muslim nations of engaging in "genocide."

In January of 2009 Erdogan accused Israel of "perpetrating inhuman actions which would bring it to self-destruction" when it retaliated against Hamas rocket fire in Gaza, killing approximately 1,000 (mostly combatants). He warned that "Allah will sooner or later punish those who transgress the rights of innocents."

In July 2009, when the Chinese government repressed Muslim rioters in their western Xinjiang province killing approximately 200, he said: "The event taking place in China is a kind of genocide."

Yet Turkey withdrew it's ambassador in protest when a U.S. House committee dared to accurately describe the WWI-era Turkish slaughter of 1.5 million Kurds as a genocide. Even the Turkish government recognizes that at least 300,000 Armenians died.

If Xinjiang was genocide, what exactly do you call the equivalent of 1,500 Xinjiang riots taking place against Armenians in a span of 8 years?

Not to mention the cultural (and sometimes physical) genocide of Kurds in eastern Turkey...

Every day Turkey makes clear that it is not "moderate," no friend to the United States, no friend to Israel or even to non-dhimmi sectors of Europe.

BBC Blames U.S. Checks and Balances for Failure of Copenhagen Conference

2009-12-22T20:12:00.002-05:00

In an article entitled "Why did Copenhagen fail to deliver a climate deal?" a BBC climate change extremist resents the ability of the American people to prevent their President from committing them to a treaty against their will. U.S. Democracy is ranked #2 among 8 supposed reasons the summit failed:

2. THE US POLITICAL SYSTEM

Just about every other country involved in the UN talks has a single chain of command; when the president or prime minister speaks, he or she is able to make commitments for the entire government.

Not so the US. The president is not able to pledge anything that Congress will not support, and his inability to step up the US offer in Copenhagen was probably the single biggest impediment to other parties improving theirs.

Viewed internationally, the US effectively has two governments, each with power of veto over the other.

Doubtless the founding fathers had their reasons. But it makes the US a nation apart in these processes, often unable to state what its position is or to move that position - a nightmare for other countries' negotiators.

Yes, thank God the founding fathers foresaw the schemes of power-grabbing European tyrants like yourself and built a system that protects us from you. Can you believe the level of arrogance? How dare a bothersome detail like the US system of government prevent a climate deal!

The summit failed because "global warming" is and always has been a farce.

"is your Islamic Crusades series available on DVD? We started watching it on YouTube, but our internet connection is not the best, and who knows how long it will remain posted there before it is censored out. It is such an important piece of information, we would like to add it to our DVD collection on history and Islam."

I feel pretty secure because YouTube has allowed some of my videos for over a year now, but it's true... you never know when they might change their terms of service or use some other way to take them off.

Is there any demand for dvd's out there? How much would you be willing to pay? I'm not even sure how much space they would take up and if I could make a traditional DVD Menu or just a DVD data disc.

Anyway, give me some feedback... if there is interest in at least 5 copies I will look into it further.

Truth:

Most of the Arabs in the Land of Israel immigrated here after our waves of aliyah. In other words, Zionism and the prosperity it engendered spawned "the Palestinian people." Since the Arab occupation of the Land of Israel in the seventh century, and throughout the centuries of Muslim occupation, not one of the occupiers viewed this land as anything more than a distant imperial outpost.

Palestine: '28 Palestinians killed and 120 Palestinians wounded by other Palestinians in Palestine '

Hamas said over the weekend that it won't tolerate the presence of rival Islamist groups in the Gaza Strip and warned that its security forces will continue to use an iron fist to foil attempts to establish such organizations.

The warning followed a bloody weekend during which 28 Palestinians were killed and more than 120 were wounded in fierce clashes between Hamas militiamen and security forces on the one hand and members of the hitherto unknown group.

Taher a-Nunu, a spokesman for the Hamas government, said Jund Ansar Allah was responsible for a spate of bombings against coffee shops, hair salons, Internet outlets and restaurants throughout the Gaza Strip over the past few years.

Hamas is "fighting terrorism"; maybe they can be a partner in peace like Fatah!

The clashes were the worst since Hamas drove the Fatah-dominated Palestinian Authority out of the Strip two years ago.

Journalists in the Gaza Strip said that Hamas's success in eliminating the radical group would consolidate the movement's authority and frighten its rivals.

"Hamas has shown that it won't allow anyone to challenge its authority in the Gaza Strip," said one journalist. "This will certainly deter others from challenging Hamas."

Hamas said its men were forced to take action against the radical group after its leader and founder, Sheikh Abdel Latif Mousa, declared during Friday prayers in Rafah the establishment of an Islamic emirate in the Gaza Strip.

[...]

Hamas banned journalists from entering Rafah or interviewing the wounded in hospitals.

Eyewitnesses said the clashes began almost immediately after Friday prayers at the Ibn Taymiyeh Mosque in the Brazil suburb of Rafah. They said the warring parties used automatic rifles and mortars during the confrontation, which ended early on Saturday.

They said the leader of Jund Ansar Allah and about 100 of his armed followers surprised worshipers by announcing the creation of an Islamic emirate in the Gaza Strip headed by Mousa, an Egyptian-educated physician-turned-cleric.

Addressing the crowd, Mousa launched a scathing attack on Hamas, accusing it of failing to enforce Islamic law, Shari'a, in the Strip, and of acting like a "secular government."

He also announced his opposition to attempts by Hamas to "liberate" the mosque from the hands of Jund Ansar Allah and said his men would not hesitate to use force to thwart the plan.

When dozens of Hamas militiamen and policemen surrounded the mosque, demanding that Mousa and his followers surrender, they were met with gunfire from inside the building, said Ihab al-Ghissin, spokesman for the Hamas-controlled Interior Ministry.

Ghissin said that at one stage several gunmen holed up inside the mosque surrendered and handed their weapons over to Hamas. He accused the group and its leaders of trying to spread "weird and dangerous" ideas.

Some eyewitnesses reported that a suicide bomber belonging to the group blew himself up when Hamas security officers tried to arrest him, killing several people.

Syria: 20 die in 'failed missile test'

Twenty Syrians were killed and over 60 injured in a failed Scud missile test carried out by Syria, Iran and North Korea in May, Japan's Kyodo News reported on Friday.

One of two missiles had apparently strayed off its course due to a technical malfunction, landing in a civilian populated area in a town on the Syrian-Turkish border. The victims were all civilians.

The incident was part of a botched attempt to test a new short-range ballistic missile developed together by the three countries, the report said.

According to Kyodo News, the area - a marketplace - was immediately closed off to the public, who was told that a gas explosion had ensued and was the cause of the wreckage.

It was unclear where the other missile landed.

The destruction of Somnath Temple

2009-07-13T22:57:00.002-04:00

This video by a pro-Indian YouTuber fleshes out the story of the destruction and massacre at Somnath that I discuss in Islamic Crusades 6, including recent police suppression of demonstrators who were trying honor the deceased:

From the video description:

When it comes to the destruction of temples, the Somanath temple evokes strongest emotions. Somanath is mentioned fifteen times in Alberuni's Indica. While discussing the sacredness of the Somanath idol and its origins and construction, Alberuni records that the idol was destroyed by Mahmud and broken parts shipped to Ghazni; "the upper part with all its trappings of gold, jewels and embroidered garments" being kept at his residence and another part before the door of the mosque of Ghazni, on which people rub their feet to clean them from dirt and wet". Part of it was thrown into the hippodrome of the town, together with the Chakraswamin, an idol of bronze brought from Thanesar.

Additional proof of the destruction of Somanath temple, again, is recorded in a letter written by Aurangzeb. He wrote:.

"The temple of Somnath was demolished early in my reign and idol worship (there) put down. It is not known what the state of things is at present. If the idolators have again taken to the worship of images at the place, then destroy the temple in such a way that no trace of the building may be left, and also expel them (the worshippers) from the place." (Quoted in Jadunath Sarkar's History of Aurangzeb from Inayetullah's Ahkam, 10a, Mirat 372)

Somanath temple was demolished by the Muslims -- from Mahmud to Aurangzeb - and rebuilt by the Hindus several times - the last time soon after India gained her independence.

Focussing on Somanath temple does not, in any way, imply that this was the only temple demolished by the Muslims. This was one of thousands that met similar fate.

Breaking of idols and demolition of places of worship was not unique to medieval Muslims. The latest example of this practice was witnessed by the entire world only two years ago (April 2001) when in opposition to calls from all quarters centuries old Buddha statues carved on hillside in Bamiyan were demolished in Afghanistan.

"The possibility of a forced mass conversion is, in fact, contradicted by Muhammad ibn Qasim himself who, according to Baladhuri, is believed to have said: "The temples shall be unto us like the churches of the Christians, the synagogues of the Jews, and the fire temples of the Magians." Dr. Jha went on to say.

Islamic warriors spared some temples. However, this was not done as an act of tolerance or compassion towards Hindus. Alberuni writes about one such incident. When Muhammad bin Kasim conquered Multan, he inquired "why the town was so very flourishing"? When told the cause was the idol of Aditya, for there came pilgrims from all sides to visit it. He decided to "leave the idol where it was but he hung a piece of cow's flesh on its neck by way of mockery." When the Karmatians occupied Multan, Jalam ibn Shaiban broke the idol into pieces and built a mosque at the same place, Alberuni went on to add.

For reasons best known to him, Dr. Jha does not tell all the facts of the history. He gives only a sanitized account of Muslim invasion, and exploitation.

At Debal, the temples were demolished and mosque founded; a general massacre endured for three whole days; prisoners were taken captive; plunder was amassed. At Nirun, the idols were broken, and mosques founded on the site of the temple of Budh, notwithstanding its voluntary surrender. The account of Mahmud's invasions is full of demolition of temples (at Thanesar, Mathura, Kannauj, Somnath - to mention a few), plunder, massacres, enslavement and forced conversions.

Hajjaj, the governor of Irak and sponsor of Muhammad bin Kasim's campaign to Sind had written clear instructions:
"My dear cousin, I have received your life-augmenting letter. On its receipt my gladness and joy knew no boundsâ€¦. But the way of granting pardon prescribed by law is different from the one adopted by youâ€¦. The Great God says in the Koran: 'O true believers, when you encounter the unbelievers, strike off their heads. The above command of the Great God is a great command and must be respected and followed."

If at times Hindus enjoyed some freedom in the practice of their religion; it was dictated less by any principle of justice or humanity, than the impossibility of suppressing the native religion by the small number of Muslim invaders. The Hindus were never treated equal to Muslims. They had to pay higher taxes in addition to humiliating Jiziya.

The truth is that Muslim invasions, almost without exception, were followed by a great massacre and demolition of Hindu temples. All means from the sword to political to economic pressure in the form of excessive taxation and humiliating Jiziya were used to convert Hindus to Islam.

The Third Jihad: Radical Islam's Vision for America

2009-06-21T19:55:00.006-04:00

"The Third Jihad" is a feature-length film released by the Clarion Fund, the same folks who produced "Obsession" a few years ago. The main narrator is Zuhdi Jasser, a man who may be the only true "moderate Muslim" on earth. Many in the Counterjihad have been highly critical of Jasser and the film because they use the term "radical Islam" rather than blaming the orthodox tenets of Islam itself for Jihadist violence. Though I do believe that mainstream interpretation of the Koran itself is the root of Islamic violence, I also believe that it's important to support Jasser because he is a Muslim who is willing to confront all aspects of Jihad honestly (including subtler forms like the legal jihad, prison conversion, and academic propaganda). The man has certainly put his life on the line to oppose Jihad, so if he insists believes in a mythical peaceful version of Islam let him believe in it. The important part is that he is a patriotic American of Muslim heritage alerting the population to real threats.

Thai PM in favor of Sharia law for southern Thailand

2009-06-21T18:37:00.009-04:00

From Jihad Watch:

More on this story. While the prime minister says Sharia's criminal law aspects would not be considered, validating the jihadists' reason for fighting and granting a partial concession will only embolden them to fight for more. Then there is the matter of the inequality enshrined in the Sharia law in general. Suppose, for example, a woman in Yala would rather have her inheritance decided under Thai law, because she is, after all, Thai. Also unresolved is the legal status of non-Muslims, a particularly slippery slope which the country's Buddhist organizations seem to recognize.

"PM favours admin zone for South," by Wassana Nanuam and Waedao Hari for the Bangkok Post, June 15:

The government is exploring the idea of proclaiming the South's three predominantly Muslim provinces a special administrative zone as a solution to the region's unrest.

But even before the idea has been fully explored, Buddhist organisations yesterday came out in opposition.

Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva yesterday said during his weekly television talk show that turning Yala, Pattani and Narathiwat into a special administrative zone would be acceptable to the government. However, the proposal must be in line with the constitution.

He also warned that the proposed term "special administrative zone" must not create a misleading impression.

"The term could lead to confusion," he said. "Some even go so far as to call it a self-rule area, which is not so," Mr Abhisit said.

"The primary requirement is that it [the special zone] must come under the constitution. Thailand is an indivisible kingdom."

The prime minister said some forms of special administration in terms of the economic and financial management would be acceptable.

He said the application of certain Islamic shariah laws regarding inheritance and other family affairs in the proposed area was possible, although Islamic laws regarding criminal offences would not be considered.

"But the issue of direct election of their own leaders is not certain," he said.

The prime minister said he had information of the existence of insurgent groups but details of their structure as an organisation and their line of command were sketchy.

The government would not negotiate with insurgents....

Scenes from the new revolution in Iran

2009-06-16T21:18:00.002-04:00

Is Mir Hossein Mousavi a pro-Western savior? Maybe not. But among other reforms he wants to free the Iranian media from government control. He supports Iran's nuclear program, as do the majority of nationalist Iranians regardless of their religious zeal. But unlike Ahmadinejad he probably sees it as a deterrent and a key to regional hegemony, rather than the means to provoke an apocalyptic nuclear exchange with Israel and the West.

Regardless, it's heartening to see the Iranian people take to the streets and oppose a regime that aspires to genocide. Remember, unlike the self-righteous leftist agitators who regularly took to the streets against President Bush, these people are actually risking their lives and the lives of their families.

Insight into the Islamic worldview

2009-06-09T22:05:00.006-04:00

Often Islamic advocacy groups have a hard time denouncing specific Jihadist organizations. CAIR has refused to condemn any terrorist organization (other than al-Qaeda) by name. For example, they have never condemned the actions of Hamas or Hezbollah. When pressed by reporters they often give a generalized response such as: "Islam condemns the murder of innocents in all circumstances."

The recent Muslim convert who shot an army recruit to death in Arkansas confirms that CAIR and others are not lying when they say they condemn the murder of "innocents." They just have a different definition of "innocent."

"I don't think it was murder, because murder is when a person kills another person without justified reason... and what I did is Islamic justified and also justified by common sense..."

Bangladesh: Muslim woman caned for talking to Hindu man

2009-06-07T23:50:00.002-04:00

More Islamic supremacism in Bangladesh. For an overview of the problems on the Indian subcontinent check out Islamic Crusades 7: India's Modern Struggle. The following is from Jihad Watch:

DHAKA (AFP) — A Muslim mother has been caned for talking to a Hindu man in Bangladesh, police said Saturday, prompting fresh concerns about a rise in cases of harsh treatment of women under strict Islamic law.

[...]

"The villagers got bundles of 25 sticks and hit her four times on the back. They claimed it was a symbolic punishment. But she's humiliated and has been in great mental pain," Monowar said.

It was the third such reported case in two weeks in the country and stirred concern among women's groups in Muslim-majority but officially secular Bangladesh about what they say is a rise in brutal treatment of women under locally applied Islamic laws.

A skeptic's guide to President Obama's Cairo speech

2009-06-06T07:05:00.002-04:00

I must say, this speech was hard to stomach. So much pandering, so many historical inaccuracies, so many half-truths, distortions and outright lies. One could write a book on the flaws of this shameful excuse for a speech, but for now I'm analyzing the most glaring inaccuracies in the first ten minutes.

As is customary a full transcript follows:

“I am honored to be in the timeless city of Cairo”

Cairo is not a timeless city. Jerusalem has been a permanent settlement for an estimated 5,000 years. Rome was founded about 2,800 years ago. These are timeless cities. Cairo is barely 1,000 years old. The ancient capital of Egypt moved dozens of times, to sites ranging up and down the Nile River valley; none of them were Cairo. Then Alexandria, founded by Alexander the Great, served as Egypt’s Capital for nearly 1,000 years (332BC-641AD), until the Arab Islamic conquest in 641AD. At that point the Arab military commander founded a garrison-city called Fustat to administrate the newly conquered territory. It wasn’t until 969AD that Cairo was founded nearby, and not until 1169AD that it became Egypt’s permanent capital.

“The relationship between Islam and the West includes centuries of coexistence and cooperation, but also conflict and religious wars.”

The conflict and religious wars you speak of started shortly after Mohammed’s death in 632 AD. Muslim armies invaded and overran about half of the existing Christian world in the space of one century. The Islamic caliphate steamrolled over the Middle Eastern and North African domains of the Byzantine Empire, and an Islamic army crossed into Spain in the year 711AD, invading European territory unprovoked nearly 300 years before the First Crusade, and about 800 years before the beginning of the European colonial period. But of course the aggression was not only directed at the West and Christians. Islamic armies also conquered the ancient empire of Persia and by the dawn of the 8th century had carved out a foothold into the Indian subcontinent, slaughtering Zoroastrians, Buddhists and Hindus along the way.

“More recently, tension has been fed by colonialism that denied rights and opportunities to many Muslims, and a Cold War in which Muslim-majority countries were too often treated as proxies without regard to their own aspirations.”

What about the rights denied to infidels in Muslim-dominated lands for the past 1,400 years? What about their aspirations? The Christians and Jews in the Mediterranean world were relatively lucky. The Koran granted them "protected” status as Dhimmis. This was protection in the mafia sense, except the terms were much harsher. As people of the book, they were allowed to live as long as they paid exorbitant taxes, submitted to constant public humiliation, forfeited their legal rights and did not build any new Churches or Synagogues, or even repair existing structures. The non-monotheist civilizations to the East had it much worse. Mercy was the exception; the rule was slaughter and the abject destruction of their holy places.

And why do you only mention European colonialism? Why not Islamic colonialism which started earlier and lasted longer? Let’s take the example of the country from which you chose to address the Muslim world. Egypt was held by European colonial empires for a total of 43 years: Napolean’s army briefly held the territory from 1798-1801, and the United Kingdom ruled from 1882-1922. Now let’s look about 200 miles across the Mediterranean, to a Christian country called Greece. Greece was occupied by the Islamic Ottoman Empire from the mid-1400’s through the year 1821: about 400 years, or about ten times longer than Egypt was occupied by the West. And Greece was just one province of the European portion of the Ottoman Empire, which occupied the entirety of the Balkan Peninsula and beyond. They ruled over the largely Christian inhabitants of this area for centuries, periodically pushing into central Europe as far as Vienna, and threatening to extinguish Christian civilization in Europe completely. And yet today, we don’t see Greeks or Slavs flying planes into buildings in Istanbul, or blowing up buses in Cairo.

“Our second President, John Adams, wrote, "The United States has in itself no character of enmity against the laws, religion or tranquility of Muslims."

Fair enough, but unfortunately for us this feeling wasn't mutual. John Adams accompanied Thomas Jefferson to England in 1786 to speak to the ambassador of the Islamic state of Tripoli in London. These two revered founders of our nation were in Europe to ascertain why Islamic pirates were attacking American merchant ships in the Atlantic and Mediterranean and enslaving their crews for no apparent reason. They reported the Tripolitan ambassador’s reasoning to the Continental Congress:

“ ... that it was founded on the Laws of their Prophet, that it was written in their Koran, that all nations who should not have acknowledged their authority were sinners, that it was their right and duty to make war upon them wherever they could be found, and to make slaves of all they could take as Prisoners, and that every Musselman (Muslim) who should be slain in Battle was sure to go to Paradise. ”

This puts us 10 minutes into Obama's 55-minute speech, and I'm already getting queasy.
