Coming soon to a mosque near you.

The jihadist enemy, on the other hand, is operating on principles and values squarely in the tradition of Islam, and . . . is expressing a spiritual need and an orthodox religious mandate: to fulfill by force the will of Allah that all the world be subject to Islam and an Islamic state, the caliphate, ruled by sharia, Islamic religious law. Those conquered infidels who refuse to convert are reduced to dhimmi, subordinated and humiliated peoples whose restricted rights, diminished lives, and circumscribed behavior testify to the superiority of their Muslim overlords and their divine right to oppress the infidel and exploit him economically. This dynamic of jihad and dhimmitude has been extensively documented by Bat Ye'or and other scholars, and is apparent on every page of Islamic jurisprudence, theology, and history from the eighth century to today.

Those who . . . suggest otherwise are contradicting not just that history but also the beliefs and sentiments of millions of contemporary Muslims, who understand clearly what their own religion teaches and how it should be practiced. How else do we make sense of the continued widespread support for homicide bombings and Al Qaeda visible in poll after poll of Muslims worldwide? Even so-called “moderates” and Westernized Muslims can't help letting slip their true beliefs even as they try to spin the latest terrorist murder.

Doublespeak UnveiledMuslim “moderates” are true to spirit of Islam, by Bruce Thorton, VDH Private Papers, 7/26/05 [emphasis added] <-- Dr. Sanity.

It's absolutely crystal clear what Islam requires. To be a Muslim is to sign on to this program. It is so clear, in fact, that the burden of proof is on each and every Muslim to prove to every infidel that they renounce unequivocally this aspect of Islam as false and pernicious doctrine.

Among others of its aspects.
