The West is not losing to the meager challenge of Islamism. It has, for the time being, only used minimal force against it.
If and when the West gains its resolve, it will crush Islamism, and if necessary, Islam, like the dung beetles they are.
The West has a vast amount of kindness and generosity. However, when we do lose patience, we are more than capable of bringing down destruction on their heads worse than anything the Nazis did in WWII. Or Vlad Tepes, for that matter.
To preserve the lives of all but fighters is a choice. We could butcher entire countries.
To not carry out atrocities that would horrify ISIS is a choice. To not poison their water, food and air is a choice. To not spread hideous plagues amongst them, that too is our choice.
If we chose, we could raze every mosque in the world. We could burn the vast majority of Korans in dung heaps along with the Muslims we had exterminated.
But it is always OUR choice. All Muslims, everywhere, have a different choice. Theirs is to live at peace with us and each other, to discontinue their bad behavior, to quit acting like animals and embrace civility. Or they can continue on, hoping against hope that we do not lose patience with them. And destroy them utterly.
By making our choice.
Many have stated that it is not enemy without that we should fear the most.
It is the traitor within.
They can deliver us to the enemy without a fight.
Hear, hear.
