1.1 Brookline people do not care. Some people looked, and a few Arabic-looking men made faces, but only two people spoke to me: one older Jewish man agreed with the message, and we talked for a minute or so. Then later, another older Jewish man said, “I don’t know what you are trying to prove, but Islam is a fine religion.” I responded, “It’s really not a religion, but a political ideology wrapped up in religion to look good...” he was already turning and walking away.

1.2 I am very tired- didn’t sleep well last night, and coffee (a gift from the Arabs!) is not helping much. But this afternoon, after an hour of rest, I will take the sign to Cambridge, into Harvard Square. This is possibly the busiest place in Boston, with the most students and others, of all ethnicities. If you like, you may pray for me.

1.3 If the Harvard Square demo doesn’t produce results, I am going to escalate the message. I am going to keep the one side with “Save Children from Islam”, but the other side will have enlarged images of child victims of Islam. The images I am considering will get people’s attention.

1.4 Well, the Harvard Square demo did teach me a few things. 1. Expect people, apparently intelligent, educated young people, to use arguments like the “Pedophile Priest (therefore Islamic perverts are no worse than Christian perverts)”; “Evil in the Bible (therefore Islamic scriptures are no worse than Judeo-Christian scriptures)”; and of course “Evil is Cultural (therefore Islam is no worse than any other system of belief)”. Remember, this was in Harvard Square. Ivy crawling up the yinyang, books everywhere. “Veritas” (Truth) is the Harvard motto. Evidently Hahvahd is no longer true to itself.

1.5 I am not going to bother refuting any of those “arguments”; anyway they are all forms of the same error: “Islam may be bad, but so is...”. I was polite enough to the young (non-Muslim) lady not to demand to speak to her professors: what the haymarket are you teaching these youngsters? Do you teach critical thinking at all? How can a relatively uneducated man destroy everything a Harvard girl can put up? I should be a professor. Actually, that was my Army nickname.

1.6 But as to learning in Harvard Square: 2. Since it took 1.5 hours to get one semi-interesting response, a few photo ops, and a large number of stares and glares from Arabic folks, I suspect that I am fishing with the wrong tackle. Either signs are not good, or the sign lacks one thing: contact information. People are very “virtual” today, so the next sign (if I decide on signs) will display my FaceBook name or other contact info.

1.7 A very important lesson (apart from how heavy a thin plastic board can get after ten minutes overhead), is this. It is not the burqa or niqab that signifies a dangerously high Muslim population. There are non-Arabic Muslimas who do not ever wear the niqab. I did notice many big Arabic men, as I said, glaring at me. Yet not one even spoke to me. Why? Because they were few and far between.

1.8 With this experience of silent Muslim anger, and review of reports from Europe to Australia, it becomes clear that the best predictor of Islamic violence is population density. It is not how many Muslims are in your area (population percent), but how concentrated they are. As the saying goes: two is company, but three is a gang.

1.9 So whether they are burqa-bagged Arabs or barefaced Indonesians, Muslims can be expected to act like...Muslims, when they aggregate or colonize an area. As long as they are dispersed, they are (usually) harmless. But when they gather in neighborhoods, ghettos or “Muslim only zones”, be aware. Where the Muslims gather, Darkness gathers also.

2.0 Finally, and in connection with the above, on the subway home a man asked if I had been to the Hemp Fest. I said No, and he explained that it was safe because 2000 people were there, and the police did not arrest anyone. Faced with the huge crowd of peaceful hemp-heads, the police just “threw up their hands”. I have never tried to eat my hand, but would expect to throw it up very quickly. Silence! I kill you!

2.1 The most important message of the day, ironically, came from the Cannabis connoisseur on that trolley home. 4. There is Power in Numbers. If you have enough people, and are not doing anything violent, the authorities leave you alone. Think of it: a crowd of 2000 people, outdoors, all devoted to the same peaceful behavior....Oh, wait. That’s a Muslim prayer blockade. That is how they get away with blockading streets: the police are overwhelmed.  Message received. Now, who is ready to gather against the Darkness?
