"Oh,race of Franks(1), race from across the mountains, race beloved and chosen by God, - as is clear from many of your works, - set apart from all other nations by the situation of your country as well as by your Catholic(2) faith and the honor which you render to the holy church(3) : to you our discourse is addressed, and for you our exhortations are intended. We wish you to know what a grievous cause has led us to your country, for it is the imminent peril threatening you and all the faithful which has brought us hither. From the confines of Jerusalem(4) and from the city of Constantinople(4) a grievous report has gone forth and has repeatedly been brought to our ears, namely, that a race(5) from the kingdom of Persians, an accursed race(5), a race wholly alienated from God, a generation that set not their heart aright and whose spirit was not steadfast with God, violently invaded the lands of those Christians and has depopulated them by pillage and fire(6). They have led away ap art of the captives into their own country, and part have they killed by cruel torture. They have either destroyed  the churches of God or appropriated them for the the rites of their own religion. They destroy the altars, after having defiled them with their uncleanness. . . The kingdom of the Greeks(7) is now dismembered by them and has been deprived of territory so vast in extent that it could be traversed in two months time. On whom, therefore, is the labor of avenging these wrongs and of recovering this territory incumbent, if not upon you, you upon whom, above all other nations, God has conferred remarkable glory in arms, great courage, bodily activity, and strength to humble the heads of those who resist you ? Let the deeds of your ancestors(8) encourage you and incite your minds to manly achievements.
Oh, most valiant soldiers and descendants of invincible ancestors, do not degenerate(9) our progenitors, but recall the valor of your progenitors.
                                                                                          Pope Urban II

I guess I am to believe that this is just the radical hijackers of the so called religion of peace ? When a child or animal touches something hot and gets burned  they learn not to touch that object again. How many times must we be burned ? Westerners, Easterners, Democrats, Republicans, Christians, Jews, Buddhists, Hindus, Atheists, Communists, Democracies, Republics, Monarchies, Conservatives, Liberals, Rich, Poor, Professors, Students , it does not matter, if you are not one of THEM, you have three choices. 1) Convert, 2) Dhimmitude status where you live as a second, or worse, rate citizen, pay the head tax(Jizya) to your masters and suffer humiliation in the process or 3) Death. Please do not take my word for it, read the Koran and the Hadiths on your own and then compare these writings to history. You will plainly see that when they talk about making the whole world Dar-al- Islam we should start taking their word for it.  Amazingly many people are now talking about WWIII being imminent when in actuality it began around 622 AD. The worlds leaders, and unfortunately our own, are so enslaved by their PC jailers we fight wars now to win hearts and minds instead of to win victories.  Did we fight a war on bombs or against the imperial Japanese empire ? Did we fight a war against rifles  or for freedom from British rule ? Did we fight a war against tomahawks or against Indian tribes ? If this earth is to survive into the next century we must recognize our common and most dangerous enemy(no, not global warming) and take action before, real action, not nation building but nation preserving, our own, it is to late. Borrowing from an old liberal rallying cry about the economy, "IT'S The ISLAM STUPID!"
