Quote from: njeneb on August 05, 2010, 02:11:39 PMThere are a lot of Muslims living here, Binghamton NY, now. They are good people.
At least they don't try to convert this old pagan, as some Christians do.
My answer to you is: "Not Yet !"
Islam's MO is very simple.
When they are the minority they play the peaceful victim role. They live peacefully and piously, setting an example to all that Islam is good.
So much so that many others may join them.
And just when they start to grow and grow and their influence expands leaps and bounds, they start exerting their "rights", like their "rights to Sharia laws" - as in what is happening in England right now.
Then they will say that their women have the right to cover their whole body like a mummy, in open spaces - even though that means they could hide weapons and bombs and nobody would ever notice it.
Any reaction - like the one in France, for example - in restricting the so called "muslims' rights", they will cry foul.
That's the 2nd step.
And when their power grows some more they start to have control power, the 3rd step begins.
They will impose Sharia laws, first on muslims only, and then they start impose it on non-muslims, step by tiny step, taking away the rights of the non-muslims.
That is happening in Malaysia where I stay (late 3rd step/early 4th step), and it is happening (1st step) in America, (2nd step) in England, (2nd step) in France, (2nd to 3rd step) in Italy, (early 3rd step) in Spain and many other Western countries.
BTW, do you know that in Spain the muslims demand that the Catholics "return" to them a Cathedral so that they can make it a mosque?
The muslims' claim is simple: It was a mosque before the Catholics turned it into a Church.
But the same muslims forgot something - before the mosque was a mosque, it was a Church !
That Cathedral began its life as a Church, and when the Moors attacked and conquered Spain they (the Moors) turned that Church into a mosque. After the Moors were defeated the Catholics turned that building back into a Cathedral.
Now the muslims are demanding that the "mosque" is theirs.
Can you believe that? And yes, it is happening, in Spain, Europe.
It's an early sign of their "3rd step".
