Article From "Hudson-NY.org"
I had to link to this story as is. The article exemplifies very well what is said in the next link, "If Christians were treated like Muslims" by Gary Bauer from Human events. Let's start getting involved here people.

The First muslim American war.
I would like to address a point that is rarely if ever given light today. We hear that islam is the religion of peace often enough. Yes I grant that, it just means something different when spoken by muslims and their supports then what non-muslims THINK they mean. It is not what we would call peace.
The other side of that statement is left unsaid, islam is also a philosophy of war, subjugation and conquest.
The following passage should make it clear to you that people non-muslims define as having committed no offense are still guilty in the philosophy of Mohammed. You can NEVER be in accord with the muslim unless you become a muslim. Then you must still be HIS kind of muslim to be safe (that is a TRUE muslim, in his definition) notice the muslim on muslim violence all over the world, although perhaps less frequent than muslim on non-muslim violence.
The mohammedan philosophy makes no provision for thoughts like the Christian Great Commandment of "love your neighbor as yourself..."
"In 1786, Jefferson, then the American ambassador to France, and Adams, then the American ambassador to Britain, met in London with Sidi Haji Abdul Rahman Adja, the "Dey of Algiers" ambassador to Britain.
The Americans wanted to negotiate a peace treaty based on Congress' vote to appease.
During the meeting Jefferson and Adams asked the Dey's ambassador why Muslims held so much hostility towards America, a nation with which they had no previous contacts.
In a later meeting with the American Congress, the two future presidents reported that Ambassador Sidi Haji Abdul Rahman Adja had answered that Islam "was founded on the Laws of their Prophet, that it was written in their Quran, that all nations who should not have acknowledged their authority were sinners, that it was their right and duty to make war upon them wherever they could be found, and to make slaves of all they could take as Prisoners, and that every Musselman (Muslim) who should be slain in Battle was sure to go to Paradise."
For the following 15 years, the American government paid the Muslims millions of dollars for the safe passage of American ships or the return of American hostages. The payments in ransom and tribute amounted to 20 percent of United States government annual revenues in 1800.
Not long after Jefferson's inauguration as president in 1801, he dispatched a group of frigates to defend American interests in the Mediterranean, and informed Congress.
Declaring that America was going to spend "millions for defense but not one cent for tribute," Jefferson pressed the issue by deploying American Marines and many of America's best warships to the Muslim Barbary Coast.
The USS Constitution, USS Constellation, USS Philadelphia, USS Chesapeake, USS Argus, USS Syren and USS Intrepid all saw action.
In 1805, American Marines marched across the desert from Egypt into Tripolitania, forcing the surrender of Tripoli and the freeing of all American slaves.
During the Jefferson administration, the Muslim Barbary States, crumbling as a result of intense American naval bombardment and on shore raids by Marines, finally officially agreed to abandon slavery and piracy.
Jefferson's victory over the Muslims lives on today in the Marine Hymn, with the line, "From the halls of Montezuma, to the shores of Tripoli, We fight our country's battles in the air, on land and sea."
It wasn't until 1815 that the problem was fully settled by the total defeat of all the Muslim slave trading pirates.
Jefferson had been right. The "medium of war" was the only way to put and end to the Muslim problem."

Adam of Baghdad, by Lisa Graas
Adam of Baghdad: “Enough, Enough, Enough”
Posted By Lisa Graas on December 14, 2010
This article is cross-posted at NewsRealBlog.
One month has passed since the massacre of Catholic Christians by Islamists in Our Lady of Deliverance Church in Baghdad. As Christians throughout the world celebrate Advent, which represents the awaiting of the birth of the Christ Child, word is spreading of Adam, a little Catholic boy who, at the tender age of three years old, stood up courageously to the Muslim aggressors in the midst of carnage. Frances Cardinal George, the outgoing president of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, included Adam’s story in his final remarks to the USCCB in November:
Now, at the end of last month, on the vigil of the feast of All Saints, in the Syriac Catholic Cathedral of our Lady of Deliverance in the city of Baghdad, many dozens of Catholics were killed as they gathered for Mass. Two were priests: one was killed at the altar and the other as he left the confessional. They are joined in death with hundreds of others who have died for their faith in Christ since the current conflict began. An American Dominican Sister, a friend of a friend, has written from that country: “Waves of grief have enveloped their world, surging along the fault lines created in Iraqi society by the displacement of thousands of Iraq’s Christian minority who have fled what is clearly a growing genocidal threat…One survivor was asked by a reporter, what do you say to the terrorists? Through his tears he said, ‘We forgive you.’…Among the victims of this senseless tragedy was a little boy named Adam. Three-year-old Adam witnessed the horror of dozens of deaths, including that of his own parents. He wandered among the corpses and the blood, following the terrorists around and admonishing them, ‘enough, enough, enough.’ According to witnesses, this continued for two hours until Adam was himself murdered.” As bishops, as Americans, we cannot turn from this scene or allow the world to overlook it.
At three years old, children are beginning to learn from their parents about crossing the street safely and about being careful around strangers. It is at this age that children begin to ask “why” questions. Little Adam surely knew, as is demonstrated by his actions, that there is no reasonable answer to the question “why” as his parents and others lay dead. It was clear to Adam that a horrible injustice had been done. Adam’s ability to reason was developed enough to recognize blatant injustice. His courage prompted him to act upon what reason had informed his conscience of. This is critically important to recognize in the debate about Islam vs. Christianity. Whether Baptist, Presbyterian, Methodist, Catholic or anywhere in between, Christianity universally teaches her members to be ‘as little children’. It can be said, then, that Adam truly represents Christian fundamentalism. Adam is a perfect model of the true Christian. Islamic fundamentalism, on the other hand, is represented by those who murdered him.
The fact that this little Catholic boy, young though he was, used reason in such a courageous manner in the face of Islamic fundamentalists is also notably consistent with the message of the Vatican in regard to Islam and how Christians should deal with Muslims in daily life. In his famous Regensburg speech, which prompted Muslim outrage, Pope Benedict XVI exposed Islam as a religion that does not accept reason. He also expressed at length the importance of reason in Christianity. Whenever and wherever Christians have been under the sword of Islam, such as in the case of Aasia Noreen (Asia Bibi), the Vatican has continually responded by calling upon Christians in “daily life” to be clear about the differences between Christianity and Islam, and to appeal to reason in discussions with individual Muslims.
Little Adam used his reason. “Enough, enough, enough,” he said, for two hours to the Islamists, before they murdered him. So it was that Adam, the Christian fundamentalist, fell under the “sword” of the Islamic fundamentalists. Nowhere is there a more clear example of Islam, the violent political/religous system vs. Christianity, where all are called to be “as little children” who must try to use reason with Muslim aggressors, than in Adam, a little Catholic boy who, in my humble opinion, will someday be known as St. Adam of Baghdad, the youngest saint of the Catholic Church.

Merry Christmas, and be Vigilant.
Have a Merry CHRISTmas everyone.
Don't forget the Feast of Stephen! (Look it up) We are big fans of the Feast of Stephen at our house. You may remember it, made famous in the song "Good King Wenceslas"?
As to vigilance, I am hearing through sources our friends in the "religion of peace" are of course hoping to make Christmas attacks at churches and various other high profile targets.
Peace Be with You ...
