In their constant referral to Crusaders I dedect a real cowardly, bullying mindset among the Islamics. The reason being is that history spells out that in the time of the Crusaders, a real enemy of theirs came at them from the right side of the map, the East. The Crusaders were a mere pinprick, the Mongols dealt death to them like there was no tomorrow. The Mongols came and killed everything in their path, unlike the Crusaders, huddled in their coastal fortresses. During the Crusader period, Muslims shuddered at the mere mention of the Mongols. They would break out in cold sweats. For good reason, when the Mongols captured Baghdad, the death toll is estimated at between 200,000 - 1,000,000 dead civilians. Notice that the jihadis never contemplate attacking the Far East. I believe that a historical echo tells them to leave those people alone. Maybe the solution is to wreak the same havoc, thus their fear of the Far East begins to include us also.

There’s no need for that kind of slaughter.

We just need to impose “The Coulter Doctrine.”

Exactly, because that is who they are.
