Lopez: “Militant Islam may actually pose an existential threat to the United States…” you write. What must be done?

McCarthy: The first step is to recognize the threat and its source. If, as I contend, the doctrine is the source, then security policy has to direct itself to the doctrine. We can’t change the doctrine ourselves. But we can protect ourselves, and increase the pressure for reform, by refusing to tolerate terrorist safe-havens; punishing regimes that facilitate jihadist organizations, particularly by giving them safe-haven; imposing restrictions on business with and immigration from Islamic countries unless they reform; punishing regimes that promote the exportation of Wahhabist and Salafist interpretations of Islam; dealing only with authentic Muslim reformers while shunning groups like CAIR; and making clear that, until Islam actually reforms — until Muslims and Islamic regimes systematically reject and crack down on jihadism in a convincing way — we are not going to pretend that a person’s adherence to Islam is irrelevant to whether we should regard him with suspicion. That doesn’t mean we investigate people solely because of their religion. Yet, as long as we are under siege from Islamic terror groups, we can’t take the position that it is irrelevant whether a person who is here, or wants to come here, is an Islamic fundamentalist who believes sharia should be installed and jihad is the legitimate means toward that end.

The only problem is we have one political party that doesn't recognize we're at war and wants to abandon fighting it all the way to victory.

Then the only answer is to declare war and get it over with. Our history tells us that when we haven’t declared, Korea, Viet Nam as an example, we have lost the battle with our own people before we lost the battle with the enemy. Islam is our enemy.....declare war on them and then we can take care of the problem. Keep being a bunch of candy asses and we’ll loose. Is this what we want for our kids and grandkids?
