As to the US leading the war against Islam, I'm sorry, but logically I don't see that happening. Western democracy works when people are logical and look for their own interests but care about others -- it can't work with Islam where Moslems are neither logical nor look out for their interests and definitely do not case about others

Ditto with multiculturalism: it works with English, French, Italian, Marathi, Gujarati, Cantonese, Vietnamese, Tamil etc. -- works somewhat, but it cannot work with Islam

The US is hamstrung by democracy and a sense of decency

It's like the "Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy" bit about Krikket -- we can't understand their fanaticism and single-mindedness aim to destroy us. "We" is all of the west and the stupidity is exacerbated by liberals who can't understand it at all, but even many of us conservatives can't understand the depths of this fanaticism

No, the ones taking up the mantle against Islam will be equally radical autocratic forces -- Putin's KGB Russia and the Chinese

Add in the VHP/RSS of the Hindus and this is the combination that will oppose Islam

The code is simple, it's not a Christian 'turn the other cheek' --> we tried that in 640 and lost one third of Christianity: the Oriental Church

This was tried in the 10th and 11th century and Timur-e-lang slaughtered the entire Assyrian Church

No, the sword is the only way against Islam and it will NOT be lead by the West unless the west jettisons a welfare-state type demogogry

The Byzantine Empire didn't "turn the other cheek" to Islam.

They fought a war and lost. Quite different concept.
