There are fools and there are fools... but this crew just leaves me with my jaw hanging open.
In all honesty, who’s surprised at any of this?
Peace will come only when the Satanic Verses are removed from the Koran and the American left is carrying “Stop Jihad Now!” signs.

God will not be mocked. We are in huge trouble as a nation.
“I will Bless those who Bless You and I will Curse those who Curse You … ” Genesis 12:3
If you had to start the apocalypse, how would you do it? Here's one suggestion: start refashioning your administration, if you're president of the United States, as anti-Israel.It's that simple. You don't come out and say that, of course, but if you start appointing in strategic roles the sorts of people who espouse that particular insanity that expresses itself as an irrational hatred of Israel, you'll get the ball rolling. Because what that does is it shows all those countries that have institutionalized the hatred of Israel into law and policy that the US is no longer going to stand behind the tiny, eternal hotspot at all costs, like a great, big brother staring down bullies.
The deterrent to bullies, once removed, invites all manner of mischief. Bullies push, and test, and torment, and they never stop, until and unless they're stopped. And if the bullies have stated perennially, repeatedly, and unequivocally, their longing for the complete and utter destruction of your little sibling, there's no reason to expect them to stop, until....
If you're Israel, a) you're not stupid and b) you're not weak and c) you're gonna prepare to kick some serious ass because your tormentors are emboldened by the absence of meaningful reality-checks to their insanity.
Now, if you manage to do this in a time when one particularly loony regime is known to have the ability to make nuclear weapons, you just might get your Apocalypse.
It's easy, really.
We will never extricate ourselves from ME politics and its conflicts until we find a viable alternative to fossil fuels and stop pumping trillions of dollars into that medieval cesspool.
