(CNSNews.com) – A global effort to counter claims by the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS/ISIL) that it is acting in the name of Islam must include a counter-narrative that highlights “our profound respect” for the religion, the administration’s point man in the anti-ISIS coalition said this week.

Retired Marine Corps Gen. John Allen was speaking in Kuwait, where representatives of more than a dozen Islamic and Western met to discuss using public communications to combat ISIS (also known as Da’esh – an acronym for the Arabic rendering of the group’s name, ad-Dawlah al-Islamiyah fil-Iraq wa ash-Sham).

.."we must also tell a positive story, one that highlights our respect – our profound respect for Islam’s proud traditions, its rich history, and celebration of scholarship and family and community.”

Sure, let's just kiss up to these murdering bastards, that'll make them like us. Disgusting.

The Communists used to say that a Capitalist was someone who would sell you the rope to hang him. I think PC liberals fit a version of that definition notwithstanding the fact that they hate Capitalism.

These people have taken way too much acid when they were younger.

We have tried this policy again and again, with horrid results each time. We have not tried Heinlien’s approach from Star Beast; continue to step on their toes until they apologize.

I have a better idea. How about we pound the crap out of ISIS and any other muslim country that messes with us and teach them to respect us!

And if they don’t respect us we just keep pounding the hell out of them until there is nothing left. Screw islam and all its followers of the pedophile formed cult.

From an earlier posting, I suggested the use of dum-dum bullets, flamethrowers and napalm.

Mohammedans belong to a cult of hate, founded by a camel-humping pedophile. That’s all the respect they deserve; that’s all they get from me.

As for the general, let him stand up like a man and stop sucking for his pension. Note: no use of the title Marine is intentional.

Middle Eastern Muslim Money (MEMM) has bought our political process and dialogue. We live in evil times.

“we must also tell a positive story, one that highlights our respect – our profound respect for Islam’s proud traditions, its rich history, and celebration of scholarship and family and community.”

Compare that to how the administration treats American Christian tradition here at home.

Well... isn’t that what we’ve been doing ever since the nanosecond Obama took power? Never before have we had a “leader” show such fealty to that death cult. So, how again is that working out for us?

So if we would just have shown profound respect for Naziism we could have avoided WWII. They only took over most of Europe and murdered millions of Jews and Gypsies and political enemies because we didn’t have profound respect for their beliefs.

We are lead by imbeciles.

The islamists don't respect us. They have no reason to. We show weakness. We will never defeat an enemy that does not respect us.

> Islam’s proud traditions

Yes, let’s review some of these proud traditions as detailed in the foundational writings of their cult.

* Systematic Genocide
* Slavery
* Paedophilia
* Polygamy
* Pederasty
* Bestiality
* Male supremacy
* Systematic spousal and child abuse
* Female Genital Mutilation
* Racisim
* Looting
* Torture
* Truce-breaking
* Hatred
* Bitterness
* Cruelty

These have been the prevalent, readily observable social and political features in Mohammedan dominated lands since the days of their pedophile prophet Mohammed. The greatest exponents of these social pathologies are the most celebrated in Islam.

To defeat ISIS, we must crush it completely as we did its former mentor and co-monster, NAZI Germany and allied facist Italy. When Islam is reduced to a vague memory, the world will be safe for the moment.
