INCITEMENT WATCH: “Many have noted in recent months that I?ve spent an increasing amount of time discussing the broader Islamic threat as opposed to merely the Islamist threat. That?s because I?ve come to a simple conclusion: if Western Civilization is to survive, Islam must be destroyed. The two are not compatible and cannot co-exist on a single planet. Adam Taiichi Oshida on The Reality Check.org at http://www.therealitycheck.org/GuestColumnist/ayoshida121304.htm and also “Well, let me say two things right now. First: I agree with Mr. Griffin that Islam is a, ?wicked, vicious faith.? There can be, and are, good Moslems but that does not change the obvious and fundamental fact that Islam itself is, in general, a bad thing and that we?d all be better off had it never been created. Second: I agree that Moslems are a threat to Britain, to Canada, to America and to free people everywhere.” at http://www.therealitycheck.org/GuestColumnist/ayoshida122804.htmMuslims Turn Eyes to Sky to Start Ramadan
