8pm EST: Author Gregory Davis, author of the controversial book Religion of Peace?: Islam’s War Against the World
From the Publisher
Is the “War on Terror” Based on a False Hope?
In the days following 9/11, George W. Bush assured America and the world that Islam was a “religion of peace” and that the violent followers of Osama Bin Laden had twisted the true Muslim faith. Acting on this belief, President Bush and other Western leaders sent troops to the Middle East in an effort to bring freedom and democracy to the Muslim world.
But what if this “understanding” of Islam is based not on fact, but instead on equal parts wishful thinking and Islamic deceit? It would mean that the entire War on Terror is based on a faulty–and increasingly deadly–premise.
In Religion of Peace? Islam’s War Against the World, author and filmmaker Gregory M. Davis rebuts the notion that Islam is a great faith in desperate need of a Reformation. Instead, he exposes it as a form of totalitarianism, a belief system that orders its adherents not to baptize all nations, but to conquer and subdue them. Islamic law’s governance of every aspect of religious, political, and personal action has far more in common with Nazism than with the tenets of Christianity or Judaism.
9pm EST: Matt Burden from Blackfive will join us with the story of Specialist Daniel Unger, definitely Someone You Should Know
9:20pm EST: Americans for Tax Reform’s Grover Norquist, one of Washington’s true power players, returns to give a State of the Union preview and let us know his expectations for taxes under a Democrat led Congress.
