Foehammer’s Anvil

Yes, that’s right, 26% of young adult Muslims wouldn’t mind seeing you blown up “in order to defend Islam from its enemies.” That means that if they could attach a bomb to the Anvil and send these pages sailing into the stratosphere, they’d be all for it.

Islam has enemies. I’m one of them. I get to be “blowed up good”, too. (My apologies to Second City for that allusion.)

Now, when you read this New York Post article, pay very close attention to the language coming from the Muslim respondents. I’ve put things in bold-type that should make you read “between the lines”, things that should alarm you in that extra-special alarming way. For instance, Jihadists will always seek to find a mandate to attack enemies in a “defensive” manner, because self-righteous reasons most suit zealots. Look around the world and you will always find Hammas or Hezbollah or al-Qaeda or Iranian mullahs manufacturing reasons for their outrageous actions and terrorism, all in the name of “self-defense”, like when the Iranians kidnapped those British sailors but claimed they were in Iranian waters.

And even the Muslims that might seem so innocuous today, could so very easily be lying or turned into your enemy tomorrow. Or they are raising your future killers in their homes and in our schools until the “time is right” for the New Caliphate.

Even more alarming? Look at these percentages and remember that truly tiny minorities in their countries at the time, like Mussolini’s Italy or Hitler’s Germany, turned entire populations towards world war. So, how are we supposed to just ignore far larger ripples in the waters of the USA and say that “we accept Islam” in our midst? I’ve already stated quite clearly how I feel about that idea.

As you read this next article, decide for yourself what the Muslims in America really mean, what they intend for themselves and how far you might trust them. But here’s one last thing I have to say on all this. I have a barometer for trusting people. It’s quite simple really:

Would you trust a Muslim to babysit your kids?

If you answer NO to that question, then you’re already aware of the problems with Islam, and guess what — you’re smarter than you think you are.

Onward to the latest “good news” from Islam:

TIME BOMBS IN OUR MIDST By DOUGLAS MONTERO and ANDY SOLTIS

One out of four young U.S. Muslims believe suicide bombings against innocent civilians are OK to defend Islam, a disturbing new poll revealed yesterday.

The nationwide survey - one of the most exhaustive ever conducted of American Muslim attitudes - also found widespread doubt that Islamic terrorists carried out the 9/11 attacks.

But at the same time, three out of four U.S. Muslims are worried about the rise of Islamic extremism around the world - and more than 60 percent are “very concerned” it will grow in America.

The survey - revealing possible radicalization of homegrown American Muslim youth - included more than 1,000 of the nation’s estimated 2.35 million Muslims and was conducted in English and several foreign languages.

The most shocking responses came when those surveyed were asked whether suicide bombings and other violence against civilians can be justified “in order to defend Islam from its enemies.”

Thirteen percent said it can be justified, at least on rare occasions.

Among those under age 30, that 13 percent doubled to 26 percent.

Young New York Muslims questioned yesterday said attacks on innocent victims are wrong.

Ah, yes, but what’s an “innocent victim” in the eyes of “true Muslims”?

But they said they can understand why foreign Muslims would sacrifice their lives against soldiers in conditions they consider “war.”

“If it’s for no reason, then it’s no good. If it’s in self-defense, to protect others, then it is right,” said Youns Hussein, a 21-year-old store owner from Brooklyn of Yemeni descent.

The relatively high poll support for suicide attacks deeply worried many experts yesterday.

“It is a hair-raising number,” said Radwan Masmoudi, president of the Washington-based Center for the Study of Islam and Democracy.

The poll question didn’t specify whether the suicide bombings being asked about would be in the United States or in other countries.

Among the poll’s other disturbing findings was that only 40 percent of U.S. Muslims believe that Arabs carried out the 9/11 attacks. Another 28 percent don’t believe it - and 32 percent said they had no view.

Among 28 percent who doubted that Arabs were behind the conspiracy, one-fourth claim the U.S. government was responsible.

Only 26 percent of American Muslims believe the U.S.-led war on terror is a sincere effort to root out international terrorism.

When it comes to U.S. military operations, three out of four people surveyed said the decision to go to war in Iraq was wrong - and 48 percent said using force in Afghanistan was wrong.

The poll found homegrown support for al Qaeda. Five percent of those surveyed had a “very favorable” or “somewhat favorable” view of the terrorist group. But 58 percent had a “very unfavorable” opinion.

And only 3% of Germans were what we would classify as Nazis when the National Socialist German Workers Party first rose to power. Getting the ‘Big Picture’ yet?

On Atlantic Avenue in Brooklyn, The Post found mixed views among Muslims about suicide bombing and 9/11.

Mostafa Basraoui, 52, a chef, said his religion does not allow suicide under any circumstances.

“In Islam, the theory of killing yourself doesn’t exist,” he said.

But throwing your life away in the cause of Jihad does. This might not amount to literal suicide, but striving to fight in a way that ultimately has no hope of survival surely fits the bill when it comes to Islamic Jihad. Oh, you tricky, tricky Muslim apologists.

Abderrahim Afennah, 24, a janitor from Morocco who lives in Manhattan, said he was “completely against” suicide attacks “because I consider it terrorism.”

But he and many others also said Muslims were not behind 9/11.

“I do believe people who are not Muslims did it intentionally to harm the view people have of Muslims,” he said.

Ali Ismail, 24, a New-York-born Palestinian who owns two grocery stores, agreed.

“I think it was the government, President Bush, so that he could have a reason to go into Afghanistan, Iraq - and before you know it he’ll be in Iran,” said Ismail.

Some suggested Jews carried out the World Trade Center attacks.

“Some people say it was the Jews. They just wanted to make the Arabs look bad,” one Muslim teenager told The Post.

Yes, because we all know that the Arab Muslims need help in looking “bad” to the rest of the world….

A St. John’s University graduate student, who gave his name only as Sam, expressed mixed views on suicide bombing.

“I don’t know if it’s wrong and I don’t know if it’s right,” he said. “Murder is wrong, but why, when you go to war, it’s all right to kill?”

He added, “I don’t agree that if you walk into a day-care center and do it” it’s acceptable.

The Pew research found most Muslims say they have moderate views, middle-class values and are adjusting to America. Seventy-eight percent described themselves as “very happy” with their lives.

But when asked if they considered themselves an American or a Muslim first, only 28 percent said American.

*DANGER, WILL ROBINSON* *WARNING, WARNING*

The survey also found contrasting views of what it’s like to be an American Muslim after Sept. 11, 2001.

Fifty-three percent said life has become “more difficult” while 40 percent said it hasn’t changed very much.

And despite reports of anti-Muslim discrimination, 73 percent said they had never been a victim of it in America, the poll found.

Answer: That’s because those reports are lies perpetuated by organizations like CAIR in order to create more political and legal inroads for the future Islamic agenda.

The survey found U.S. Muslims are optimistic - even about the Mideast conflict. Sixty-one percent believe a way can be found for both Israel to exist and for the rights of Palestinians to be respected.

Among other poll findings:

* 71 percent agree that in America, “most people who want to get ahead can make it if they’re willing to work hard.”

* 43 percent said U.S. Muslims should “mostly adopt American customs and ways of life.”

* 72 percent said religion was “very important”.

* 61 said homosexuality should be discouraged.

In my opinion, the Muslims to fear are not at all “radicalized” or “extreme” with regards to Islam. The Muslims that use those labels are, again, either lying to hide their true intentions, or they aren’t “good Muslims” themselves, and just as likely spend their secret time viewing porn or drinking alcohol as they might pray five times a day. So, who are you going to believe?

I’ve learned to trust my instincts on this. Call me crazy, but I want Islam outlawed in the United States and I’ll stick to that idea for now until someone comes up with a better solution.
