The Middle East solution by Dennis Pragar

Is there anyone in the West who isn't exhausted, fed up, and frustrated with the nearly seventy year old struggle going on between the Jews and Palestinians over a piece of land the size of the state of New Jersey?  Like most people without a dog in this hunt, I have sided with the Israelies over the years and what's more the more I read about the history of the Middle East and it many twists and turns, the more convinced I am that all 180 million of those angry Muslims that surround the 6 million Jews in Israel would do themselves a world of good, materially and spiritually, by putting down their arms and making peace with this tiny country.  Israel would welcome that and bend over backward to help the Palestinians build their own state and teach them how to make it work to the benefit of all the people over there.  In this 5-7minute video, Dennis Pragar provides a clear picture of what the issue is a path to the future success of this region.  Unfortunately this is not likely to happen as long as the Muslim faith remains unreformed to rid it of its decidedly intolerant and militant proclivities.  Go here for the video:

Political Islam

The  Center for the Study of Political Islam provides information about the Islamic faith that is very difficult to come by anywhere else.  This interview of the head of that organization is as clear a recitation of the problems for the West inherent in this faith as exists anywhere.  Then bottom line of the interview:  Since there is no tolerance in Political Islam for any other faith or way of life, we in the West who have decided to deal with this faith through tolerance and "being nice" are in for a rough ride. 


ADDED:  The redoubtable Diana West, who has been sounding the alarm about the aggressive nature of Islam for years, comments here on a study done recently by independent scholars on the matter of the literature and teachings emanating from American mosques.  This study is alarming.  Over 50% of the mosques disseminate literature and teach violent jihadism and an additional 30% preach a milder form of jihadism.  Bottom line:  This is a dangerous religion to those who do not practice it, or put another way, to infidels and apostates.
