Islamic scholar Robert Spencer’s latest and greatest work:
Muslim leader ordered churches demolished, wooden images of devils nailed to doors of Christians’ houses
Jun 5, 2018 By Robert Spencer:
Ramadan Day 20 thought for the day from my new book The History of Jihad: in 850, the caliph al-Mutawakkil issued a decree designed to make sure that the dhimmis knew their place. According to the Muslim historian al-Tabari, the caliph:

If the place was large enough it was to be made into a mosque; if it was not suitable for a mosque it was to be made into an open space. He ordered that wooden images of devils should be nailed to the doors of their houses to distinguish them from the houses of the Muslims. He forbade their employment in government offices and on official business where they would have authority over the Muslims. He forbade their children to attend Muslim schools or that any Muslim should teach them. He forbade the display of crosses on their Palm Sundays and Jewish rites in the streets. He ordered that their graves be made level with the ground so that they should not resemble the graves of the Muslims.

Except it’s not radical islam, it’s standard islamic dogma — as 1400 years of unending islamic terrorism, genocide, ethnic cleansing, slavery and persecution of the unbeliever in islum pay bloody testimony.
Wish more people, particularly the hierarchy (clergy) in our churches and at the highest levels of government, understood that. Leaders lead followers astray and deepen their deception about the scourge of Islam.
And, moslems have not changed on jot or tittle, since then. They (moslems) truly are the vilest of ALL creatures.
What happened to the Magical Girl?
Over the past month, or so, what limited comments made, some stated that she was hospitalized. From the length of time involved … it may be serious.
Oh no, that’s bad news. I hope she’s OK.
I pray for her good health.
That’s a good idea, I can do that for her.
Why blame Islam ? its the dumb infidels who are stupid enough to support it they deserve what they get.
Like Brits/Europeans and Americans who go to get finest fecal diversity cuisine in muslim run restaurants like these http://bit.ly/2snziZ8
He forbade their children to attend Muslim schools or that any Muslim should teach them.
See, he showed he had the best interests of his kaffir subjects at heart!
Hmm hates God’s chosen just like Satan does…
Islam is as dangerous in a man as rabies in a dog.
Only, islam is more dangerous. “Let a man meet a she-bear robbed of her cubs rather than a fool in his folly” (Proverbs 17:12 ESV).
Was this during the Golden Age of muslum tolerance?
Islam has inflicted massive damage onto Christianity and the cause of its Gospel, all but wiping out the religion in its region of origin, destroying most of its communities in the Levant, Mesopotamia, Egypt, North Africa, Anatolia and even Arabia itself.
What that Moslem did is what Christians should be actually doing to Moslems. It’s funny how everything here is ass -backwards.
But Christians are not violent or hatefool people. But in many case we are like sheep to the slaughter. I guess a few have to be sacrificed for the greater good God, it seems.
