He makes good points about the importance of knowing history, and about the "war on terrorism" being like a "war on aviation".

But our enemy is not all of Islam, but a small part of it.

That small part would like nothing better than to make this a war on all of Islam. So they agitate Muslims against us, and us against Muslims.

Fortunately, our current leaders are too smart to fall for that.

Reading comprehension is not your strong suit, is it.

You are wrong. The peaceful part of Islam will be forced to join the war on us or be killed.
The present "small part of Islam that is violent" is ruthless enough to carry the fight to anyone that will not buckle under

But our enemy is not all of Islam, but a small part of it.

Repeating inanity has never made it reality.

That "small part of it" would be powerless and ineffectual without the overt and covert support of the "larger part of it".

In this, you are incorrect - and provide us with precisely what Simmons referred to: our inability to come to grips with what we regard as the unthinkable.

Ideas have consequences. The idea of Islam, the meme that it represents is vile and murderous beyond belief. And that is why it must be utterly and completely destroyed.

Do you doubt that, given the opportunity and the means, that the adherents of Islam would see the West destroyed and its survivors enslaved under dhimmitude?

The lessons of history are there for us to see. If only we chose to.

Islam cannot be divided. It is the same koran, the same hadith used by all.

Islam is the enemy

Christianity has never been an enemy of Jews. Yet ask yourself whether a Jew during the Inquisition saw it that way. Whether Christ (or Christians outside Spain) endorsed what torquemada was doing did not change the fact that he wished his version of Christianity to be the version, and would have imposed it if he had the power.

If the jihadis gain enough power, they will kill or enslave every peaceful muslim, and the fact that some of them are peaceful will not matter any more than it matters that most Germans were not Jew-hating nutcases in 1942.

Are they? You're saying EXACTLY what the time traveler said you would say... can't blame the whole religion for a few bad apples. Sound familiar?

You got nothing from this essay. Keep living in your ignorance. You won't last long.
