I switched to Fox News yesterday, after reading here on FR that they were having live footage from combat in Fallujah. Instead, in their "fair and balanced" mode, they had some academic asshole pontificating "Bush lost the war because he failed to take into account islamic sensibilities."
What are "islamic sensibilities?". Cowardice, murder, torture, and the enslavement of women. Plus a glorification of male sexual excess, despite the fact that even Bill Clinton is better endowed than them.
Why do these "sensibilities" need consideration? They are diametrically opposed to anything any Christian, Jew, Bhuddist, pagan, agnostic, or atheist would tolerate among their own kind. Did we consider the "sensiblities" of the nazis or the commies?
Well, in a sense we did. We gave them the choice of dumping those "sensibilities", or dying. They chose to die, therefore preventing the transmission of those "sensibilities" to another generation. Islam has the opportunity to choose, and they will determine their fate based on that choice.
I said that because those things in and of themselves do not necessarily contain malice.
Yeah, your assessment of Islamic sensibilities is right on target, IMO.
My opinion of the way to take into account those sensibilities is to annilhate them.
All you state around this is well spoken WM. Very well spoken.
