Fmr. Lt. General Boykin: Islam?s primary objective is conquest

By Alliance Alert

At Townhall, W. Thomas Smith, Jr. interviews Retired U.S. Army Lt. Gen. William G. 'Jerry' Boykin: "Boykin: I am so disappointed [about the response to the "Ground Zero mosque"]. I?m also angry that there are those who are so uninformed and intimidated by these people that they are willing to allow this. We need to remember that Islam is not a religion, but a totalitarian way of life with a religious component. Yet we protect the entire thing under the first amendment. Stop and think about it. Islam is a legal system, a political system, a financial system, a dress code, a moral code, and a social structure, yet we protect it as a first amendment issue. That?s our fundamental mistake. The second thing is, people have no understanding of Islam?s history or its basic tenets."
