Americans (even if they are not religious) are going to have to learn the language of religion if they hope to defeat Islam. We are entering a battlefield of ideas. Islam in its current manifestation is political, but it gets its strength from religion. As a religion goes, it is evil. I would bet that many people, while instinctively realizing that it is an evil religion because of the practices of its adherents, could not explain why the religion as a conceptual framework is evil.

Allow me to give an example. In every religion that has any central figure as a God, adherents tend to take on the characteristics of that God. This is a natural progression of the religion, since if you are worshipping another entity, whatever it might be, you must admire that being. In Islam, Allah (Islam’s God) is merciless. This is based on his description in the Koran. This also is in spite of the constant insistence by Muslims that Allah is merciful, as he goes around ordering everybody to be killed. As Muslims take on the characteristic of Allah, they too are unmerciful. While this deserves a lot more attention, the result is that Islam fails on two levels. The God of Islam is not a Supreme Being, but a miserable creature more reminiscent of someone like Satan. Also, being a Muslim does not make you a better person.

By the way, Allah is definitely not the Christian God.
