The Real Islam

From the National Post of Canada: This should be required reading of all those idiots in Washington, the academy and the capitals of Europe; an interview with Dr. Tawfik Hamid, a well-educated Egyptian physician and former member of a terrorist organization. This man knows about terrorists and is now on a mission to try and break the multi-culti, moral equivalent mindset as to their motives. Surprisingly (perhaps not), it's about sex:

'Islam condemns extra-marital sex as well as masturbation, which is also taught in the Christian tradition. But Islam also tells of unlimited sexual ecstasy in paradise with beautiful virgins for the martyr who gives his life for the faith. Don't for a moment underestimate this blinding passion or its influence on those who accept fundamentalism.'

Dr. Hamid claims the fundamentalist Islam of the terrorists is the dominant sect, not the radical fringe. Their goal is imperialistic, world control, and despite the insistence of Western haters of the West is not influenced the slightest by Western polity.

He's exasperated now, visibly angry at what he sees as a willful Western foolishness. 'Stop asking what you have done wrong. Stop it! They're slaughtering you like sheep and you still look within. You criticize your history, your institutions, your churches. Why can't you realize that it has nothing to do with what you have done but with what they want.'

Alas, I suspect this modern Cassandra's warnings will go unheeded. But read them for yourself anyway and be very afraid. (h/t Instapundit)
