Islam is sort of like a hedge.

Every hundred years or so, the gentlemen of the West had to sally forth to trim back the worthy oriental gentlemen, lest they overrun the garden. Unfortunately, the West is running out of gentlemen who are willing to go out and do that, and the hedge is out of control.

At the same time, thanks to our oil money, the worthy oriental gentlemen are now able to equip themselves somewhat better than they were able to in the past, and again thanks to our oil money, they now have increased and multiplied to a very dangerous point.

We have to plan our very own Battle of Lepanto somewhere and deliver a smackdown that will last quite a few generations. I say, how about Iran?

Target: The Well of the 12th Imam. The Shiites are looking for an Armageddon and martyrdom. Let's provide them with that which they want. With mushrooms.

cr*p. The Turks and arabs and Berbers were all part of the West until the advent of Mohound. And, the Chinese, Hindus, Thais, Vietnames, Philipinnos, Ethiopians, etc have been fighting the hordes ofislam for as long as Europe has.

To turn the tide, convert Iran -- bring them back to Zoroastrianism. Iran influences the rest of Central Asia and it's influence is felt as far as Egypt (cultural influence -- and since I said culture, that can't have anything to do with ezzlam)
