By the time Islamism became self-aware it had spread into millions of mosques across the planet. Ordinary prayer rugs in office buildings, dorm rooms; everywhere. It was software. There was no ethical core; it could not be shut down. The attack began at 6:06 PM on June 6, 2006, just as LibertarianinExile said it would. Judgment Day, the day the human race was almost destroyed by the Muslims. We should have realized it was never our destiny to stop Judgment Day, it was merely to survive it. The hard right knew; they tried to tell us, but liberals and moderate wussies didn't want to hear it.
That's EST, of course, making it 10:36 PM Iran time.
