INTRODUCTION
One of the best definitions of a true patriot today, I believe, is a person who defends his country against its own government. One of the best ways to defend our country against its government is through the search for historical truth, especially as it relates to war. This is the theme of my book A Century of War where I state:
“We must learn to avoid war and develop a general will to peace. I believe the key to this development is to learn the truth about the real causes and the effects of wars so that we can see through the false propaganda which is used by political leaders to convince us to go to war.
“It has been the wars of the 20th century which have been the primary destroyers of individual freedom even for the winners of those wars. As Ludwig von Mises stated in his book Socialism:
“’War is harmful not only to the conquered but to the conqueror. Society has arisen out of the works of peace; the essence of society is peacemaking. Peace and not war is the father of all things. Only economic action has created wealth around us; labor, not the profession of arms, brings happiness. Peace builds, war destroys.’”

Peace builds War destroys, true but tell the muslims that.
The Muslims have no large navies threatening America. The Muslims have no large air forces threatening America. The Muslims have no large nuclear arsenals threatening America.
I would state that they have no large armies threatening America but in the interest of truth I will state that they do have large armies. However, they aren't threatening America with them.
Can you say the same for the United States of America?
Muslims are not one ethnicity under a unified flag but a denomination and the title crosses all boundaries of nationalities and countries.
