Peace, Love, and Rolling Heads Like Soccer Balls

Little Green Footballs has a great link about what the practitioners of Islam did at a recent rally here in North Texas. It was a tribute to none other than the Ayatollah Khomeini. What a great guy he was.

Apparently, Khomeini shot the whole idea of Islam as a religion of peace right down the toilet. This is a bit scary. I wonder why the MSM seems to believe that Christians are such a big threat to this country, yet they overlook what this particular emissary of the religion seems to be preaching:

“Khomeini accordingly delivered notorious rebuke to the Islam-is-a-religion- of-peace crowd: “Those who know nothing of Islam pretend that Islam counsels against war. Those [who say this] are witless. Islam says: Kill all the unbelievers just as they would kill you all! Does this mean that Muslims should sit back until they are devoured by [the unbelievers]? Islam says: Kill them, put them to the sword and scatter [their armies].... Islam says: Whatever good there is exists thanks to the sword and in the shadow of the sword! People cannot be made obedient except with the sword! The sword is the key to Paradise, which can be opened only for the Holy Warriors! There are hundreds of other [Qur’anic] psalms and Hadiths [sayings of the Prophet] urging Muslims to value war and to fight. Does all this mean that Islam is a religion that prevents men from waging war? I spit upon those foolish souls who make such a claim.”

That doesn’t sound too damn peaceful to me. In fact, that sounds downright intolerant.

I don’t pretend to completely understand Islam. I’ve got a pretty good grasp of the Christianity thing, however. I’m positive that Jesus didn’t tell anybody to go whack the heads off those who didn’t accept him as the Savior.
