I bookmarked the link and will look it over later. They probably were Arab and pagan at one point in time, but when? 500 AD? 300 AD? 50 AD??? Also, we need to look and the past history of both Sunni and Shi'ite Muslims, they may not have the exact same histories. I hate to say good muslim, bad muslim, but it would appear that Shi'ite muslims are decent people. At least the ones I knew were. Course, they were living here in the states at the time so whose to say how they might treat 'infidels' in their own country, especially if that country were under sharia law.

The early groups of say 50AD evolved in time, and one of them became the extreme cult we see today. As someone pointed out earlier, doing away with these peons only helps a little, its the clerics that are calling for sharia law, and they are the head of the hydra. jmo

Probably already said a zillion times on Free Republic, but most of these people you're talking about are barbarians because they're backwards, not because they're Muslim. They may even be backwards partially because of their religion, but I believe time will bear out that not all Muslims are barbarians, and simply being Muslim does not make one a barbarian. Just like murders in the name of Christianity have declined sharply over the past five hundred years, the same will happen in the Muslim world in time as modern justice and law make their way through Asia.

That being said, it makes a lot of sense to look out for backwards mother#@$#@ from other nations and plan to deal with them just like you would in certain parts of the United States with some of our own uncivilized countrymen.
