In my darker moments I sometimes think let ‘em all come together and let's get to playing ‘cowboys and Muslims’. The problem is, IMHO, that the Islamic tide had been impossible to stop because it morphs into a multi headed, ‘good Muslim bad Muslim’- entity that befuddles Christians and any sane person looking for peaceful coexistence. Like the Communists of yore (and future) they will present not one, but many fronts, some seemingly rational and peaceful, at least in comparison the extremists... We've been falling for it for 800 years or so with a few exceptions. The only hope the West has is that Islam has, like the Ebola virus, always been a bit too aggressive and thus created the conditions for its containment.

Not surprising, as Islam (and communism) are of satan himself. The great deceiver indeed!

800 years? Islam? Runs longer & deeper than that. Methinks we’re seeing the reason the God of the Old Testament prescribed total annihilation of Israel’s enemies, down to every woman & child. I don’t like it, but with crazies like ISIS on the move, seems that is the only option for those who would survive in peaceful procreation. This heads-on-pikes culture doesn’t respond to much of anything short of carpet bombing.
