Please see my post #20.
Whether the Russians or the Muslims are behind the Islamofacist attacks on the FRee world is, IMHO, immaterial.
The fact is that they are occurring, and must be stopped.
If the Islamofacists succeed in destroying Western Culture, the world will enter a period of death and destruction unlike any known to man. I, for one, do not have any intention of letting that happen on my watch.
I may not be able to do much, but I am ready, willing and able to do whatever I can to prevent that, including taking up arms, to defend my life, my family's life and my country FRom these thugs and to ensure that the Western Culture survives the war we are waging against them.
"Black Muslim leaders like Louis Farrakhan of the Nation of Islam, for example, have publicly expressed their hatred of America-and could easily function as a Fifth Column inside the U.S."
Well, go figure. All them folks that have publicly proclaimed their disdain for the U.S. need to find themselves a new abode-perhaps Cuba. Castro would be quite happy to take care of their maggot mouths.

I appreciate what you're saying about your willingness to fight, and if need be sacrifice in the fight against this Islamofascist threat.
But do you really, when you think about it, believe that it does not matter if the Russians are behind these attacks? It is true that we have to deal with the Islamofascist attacks either way. But can't you envision some pretty important strategic considerations that come in to play if the Russians are behind it?
The most fundamental aspect is that if the Russians are behind it, we can start to prove it, and then we can start to pressure them directly to stop it. Doesn't this sound more promising to you than dealing with one proxy attack after another and never addressing the source, while the Russians go scot-free?
Since you put it that way, yes. That is, of course, if the Russians are really behind the Islamofacist terrorism the world is experiencing.
And we should root out and attack (either diplomatically or militarily) any other country that supports and encourages Islamofacist terrorism.
Just as DubYah said we would.
Saudi Arabia, for example, has spent (I believe) $18,000,000,000.00 (yeah, Billion!) building Whahabbi Mosques and schools in the US. I do not believe that the Whahabbi sect of Islam is very FRiendly to the West.
What to do about them?
If you want to be even more shocked, go to the NOI website and read some of the racist, hate-mongering crap they have there. I called and emailed them but got no response. The garbage is still there.
I firmly believe that abortion is murder, and is only "appropriate" in certain dire situations -- i.e., rape, incest, life of mother (REALLY!) in danger, etc.
HST, I do not condone nor would I participate in a violent protest at an abortion clinic, either.
But I would not lump the anti-abortion crowd with the Islamofacists -- both are evil, IMHO, but on a far different level. While the one targets specific individuals and commits a criminal act, the other targets whole societies and commits an act of war.
There is a world of difference between the two.

Yes, Saudi Arabia is a tough one. In terms of the Wahhibi mosques in the United States, I believe we should pass a law making such a mosque illegal in the United States. This may require a constitutional amendment in reference to the phrase: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion..." The amendment defining possible exceptions would be pretty specific: banning religious establishments that advocate terrorism, advocate the destruction of the United States of America, etc. (I'll admit, I'm not a constitutional scholar or even a lawyer.)
In terms of the larger Saudi problem, realistically we are probably going to compromise with them as long as we are so dependent on oil. I would advocate an accelerated program of building safe nuclear reactors to help reduce that dependency dramatically (admittedly this program would not start to have an effect for about 10 years).

I believe you but have no desire to see it.
