--Raymond Ibrahim
When it comes to the connection between Islam and "anti-infidel" violence, one fact must be embraced: the majority of those in positions of leadership and authority in America are either liars or fools, or both. No other alternative exist.
The reason for this uncharitable assertion is simple: If Islam was once a faraway, exotic religion, today we hear calls for, and see acts of, violence committed in the name of Islam every day. And if our leaders don't, many of us still have "ears that hear and eyes that see" (Proverbs 20:12).
It's no secret: Muslims from all around the world and from all walks of life--not just "terrorists" or "ISIS"--unequivocally and unapologetically proclaim that Islam commands them to hate, subjugate, andkill all who resist it, including all non-Muslims.
