If alleged Islamophobia causes Muslims to pillage, rape, and slaughter, then how come centuries of anti-Semitism have not produced a raging Jewish population hell-bent on murder?  Or if cartoons about Muhammad can cause homicidal riots, how come the daily anti-Semitic cartoons emanating out of the Middle East and other parts of the globe do not result in Jews going on a rampage? 

Because civilized people don't behave this way.

For that matter, how come when people step on the American flag and rip it to shreds, Americans don't go on assassination raids? 

I am absolutely sick and tired of talking heads using a double standard for those Muslims who act like barbarians against their own women and against other people who refuse to accede to their demands.

If you don't want to eat bacon, then don't eat bacon.

If you don't want to drink alcohol, then don't drink alcohol.

If you don't want to wear pig costumes, then don't.

But we will not surrender to your demands.

When people begin to self-censor their ideas, their activities, their food, and their entertainment, we might as well put "RIP" over our heads, because we are triggering our own suicide.

I, for one, opt out of that thinking.  If you cannot abide by the American Constitution, and despise what the Stars and Stripes symbolizes, you are certainly free to leave this country.  If you cannot use the same toilet as a non-Muslim child, then please do not use the facilities.  We are not going backward to a segregation of Muslims vs. non-Muslims.

If you want to pray, you will not take over public space of a taxpayer-funded university and demand a key to lock out anyone else who wants to use the room.

Engaging in female genital mutilation has no place in this country; it is heinous and a form of child abuse.

If you don't approve of gay people's lifestyles, it is unacceptable to harm them.  You can think what you want, but when you act out and are violent, then you have crossed the line.  It will not be tolerated.

And no, we don't want American girls to wear the hijab in school, since it actually represents one part of the infiltration and indoctrination that ultimately results in building mosques, advancing the teaching of Arabic, demanding Halal food, and creating Islamic financial institutions that fund jihad.  These are not disconnected events, but part of a well coordinated movement toward an Islamic caliphate.

You will not demand that sharia law be used instead of the Constitution.  Sharia is the complete opposite of the rights enumerated in the Constitution, and to say otherwise will be met with "if there is no difference, then why are you demanding a change in the first place?"

You will not receive the largesse of this country and consider it to be jizya paid by the dhimmis.  If you cannot take care of your families, then you will be considered a drag on this society.  The entitlements will end.

When you stop murdering Christians across the globe, then you will begin to be a part of a community of people who respect others.  This last year was the "worst year in modern history for Christian persecution."  And "who claims the lion's share of this unprecedented persecution?" – the descendants of Mohammad.  It is Christianophobia and Judeophobia that are running rampant because of the actions of jihadists.

This obdurate desire to derail American rights has no place in this country.  Why are we so afraid to stand up for the freedom that has made this country unique and so special relative to other countries?  Why are we willing to give up our birthright so others can trample all over it?

It is time to refuse to surrender to unyielding demands by jihadists. 

And to those who find my words harsh, I pose this question: why are so many Muslims coming to our shores if they refuse to become Americanized? 

For those who are knowledgeable about hijra, it is patently clear why.

As explained in Ann Corcoran's Refugee Resettlement and the Hijra to America, "Hijra remains the model to this day for jihadists who seek to populate and dominate new lands. Their migrations are not for the purpose of assimilating peacefully in a new host nation, adopting as their own its traditions and legal systems."  Instead, it is to "colonize and then to transform non-Muslim target societies – whether through violent means or via stealthy, pre-violent ones[.]"  The ultimate goal is "global submission to shariah and the reestablishment of a caliphate to rule according to it."

For your friends and family who are still not convinced, have them check out the Refugee Resettlement Watch website.  Since its launch in 2007, one can see that the U.S. government's refugee resettlement program is "exacerbating the jihadist threat to our nation."

One need only look at what is going on in Europe as un-vetted Muslim immigrants terrorize the women of Germany, England, France, Sweden, and Norway.  When did common sense and protection become unimportant? 

In a poll commissioned by the Center for Security Policy, more than half (51%) of Muslims in America believe that they should have "the choice of being governed according to Sharia" law.  Nearly a quarter believe that "it is legitimate to use violence to punish those who give offense to Islam," and nearly one fifth of Muslim respondents said that the use of violence in the U.S. is justified in order to make sharia the law of the land in this country.  Consequently, these findings confirm that, indeed, mass Muslim migration eviscerates Western culture.  So has it been in the past, and so will it be going forward, if it is allowed to go unchecked.
