I'd be fearful of losing my head too! I understand the lack of criticism. It's about fear!! A religion that is based on fear is not a faith. It is a CULT. Islam is a cult.

We must be wary of anyone who adheres to it's teachings. Makes common sense. Political correctness will get us all killed. I'm a realist with my eyes wide open. I'm waiting for any Muslims to prove me wrong. So far all I hear is chirping crickets.

The Islam faith is extremist!!

Without it, most terrorism would be gone, and the world would be at peace.

It is to be feared more than communism, because the communists wanted to live. Muslims prefer to die in their cause.....and take innocent people with them.

The Muslims who are not terrorist sympathizers are cowards for not speaking out against the extremists in their own fold. The religion is insidious because it breeds extremists and cowards.

5:28 (to the end), is quite disturbing.

Rick Torres uses "Islamic extremists" on a regular basis, instead of simply saying "extremists". He make claims linking these extremists to the faith of Islam. The 2 have NOTHING in common!

To APPEAR to be politically correct, he says that "we're not talking about ALL Muslims...."

The fact of the matter is, he's not talking about Muslims AT ALL!!
