Lecturer says Islam helps create terror

From Jihad Watch

Talk about plain talk and speaking your mind! Get a load of this.

Patrick Boylan, a member of the state's board of education, brought out the Quran before 19 of the state's highest emergency responders.

"It says it right here. Do not take the infidels as your friends," he said, citing Sura 5:51. "I'm making statements straight from the Quran and these are what terrorists are using to justify terrorism."

The topic of his lecture, "The terrorist mind-set, why do they hate us?" was part of a federally funded pilot master's degree program at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas' Institute of Security Studies. ...

"I have studied the Quran for this very purpose to understand why they behave the way they do," said Boylan, an Irish Catholic, who grew up in Pakistan. "There is going to be a war on terrorism that is never going to stop, and Islam is behind it."

Boylan's lecture made more than a few students in the classroom shift in their seats as he said the Islamic religion advocates killing Christians and Jews. [...]

I love this next part. It reminds me of Billy Conolly in "The Man Who Sued God".

Retired U.S. Army Col. Lee Van Arsdale, the institute's director, stood up during the class to offer a legal disclaimer that Boylan's views do not represent those of UNLV.

All right. But what if the American Muslim groups sued? What could they do? Prove that the verse Boylan quoted is not in the Qur'an? Of course, they would fall back on the old "out-of-context" defense. For that, read Onward Muslim Soldiers, which examines key jihad verses of the Qur'an within the context of Islamic history, tradition, theology, and law.


Wow! Be sure and read the whole article.
