Caption An FBI presentation titled “Militancy Considerations” measures the<br />

relationship between piety and violence among the texts of the three Abrahamic<br />

faiths [ the god's chosen people obviously coming out on <strong>to</strong>p!!! ] As time<br />

goes on, the followers of the Torah and the Bible move from “violent” <strong>to</strong> “nonviolent.”<br />

Not so for devotees of the Koran, whose “moderating process has not<br />

happened.” <strong>The</strong> line representing violent behavior from devout Muslims flatlines<br />

and continues outward, from 610 A.D. <strong>to</strong> 2010. In other words, religious<br />

Muslims have been and always will be agents of aggression. Watch FBI<br />

extremists. Fourteen hundred years of his<strong>to</strong>ry demonstrate otherwise .... Islam<br />

is the only civilization which has put the survival of the West in doubt, and it has<br />

done that at least twice.” (pg. 209)<br />

“<strong>The</strong> underlying problem for the West is not Islamic fundamentalism. It is Islam,<br />

a different civilization whose people are convinced of the superiority of their<br />
