Amazingly, no matter how much we perceive that our governments are appeasing Muslims and denying the global conflict with Islam, the Muslims themselves are hellbent on portraying themselves as victims again. Propaganda is well utilized by our Islamic enemies, I’ll give them credit where it’s due. They are masters of deceit and wordplay, playing possum and playing the martyr. It’s worked for Islamists for centuries.

Unfortunately, it won’t work forever and I certainly mean to be a part of that cure. Truth shall prevail and Islamofascist scum can cry more.

Oh, my! Did I just offend someone?

Some more lies, damn lies and statistics for this week:

WASHINGTON — Majorities in Egypt, Morocco, Pakistan and Indonesia say undermining Islam is a likely goal of U.S. foreign policy and many are unconvinced that Al Qaeda committed the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, according to a poll released Tuesday in Washington.

The survey by the University of Maryland’s Program on International Policy Attitudes questioned 1,000 or more people in each country. A majority of those surveyed in Morocco and in Indonesia, which has the largest Muslim population of any country, said it is a goal of the U.S. war on terror to “spread Christianity” in the Middle East.

“While U.S. leaders may frame the conflict as a war on terrorism, people in the Islamic world clearly perceive the U.S. as being at war with Islam,” program director Steven Kull said in a statement.

Well, look at that — many Muslims and I have something in common. Who’d have thunk it? But who started this war if it wasn’t Muhammad? Answer me that, honest Muslims. I think they need to stop with the half-truths. The war isn’t just between Islam and the United States. If it was there wouldn’t be bombings in the Philippines, India, Spain, England, Africa, et al. Really, Islamists, your continuing audacious twisting of the truth is bordering on a mass comedy routine.

Since 9/11, President George W. Bush has maintained that the United States targets only those who commit violence in the name of Islam, not the religion itself.

In Egypt, 92% of those surveyed said they believe it is a probable or definite U.S. goal to “weaken and divide the Islamic world.” In Morocco, 78% of those questioned said they agreed, as did 73% of those in Indonesia and urban Pakistan.

Only 28% of Egyptians, 26% of Indonesians, 35% of Moroccans and 2% of urban Pakistanis said they believe Al Qaeda was behind 9/11, the poll found.

Thirty-eight percent of Egyptians blamed the United States or Israel for the attacks, as did 20% of Indonesians, 31% of Moroccans and 28% of urban Pakistanis.

Conducted between Dec. 9 and Feb. 15 using in-home interviews, the surveys have a margin of error of plus or minus 3 percentage points, except for Pakistan, where the margin is 4 points.

While urban and rural people were polled in Morocco, Indonesia and Pakistan, the survey didn’t report findings from rural Pakistan because people there were unfamiliar with many of the issues in the survey, according to the pollsters.

Spreading Christianity in the Middle East was probably or definitely a U.S. goal, said 67% of Moroccans, 64% of urban Pakistanis and 61% of Indonesians.

The survey group said it wasn’t allowed to ask the question in Egypt.

Barbarism. That’s what we are faced with. Beware any people that seek to kill you in the name of “God”, especially when God has nothing to do with it.
