A friend of mine from Texas explained it all to me:

“Here in west Texas I have rattlesnakes on my place, living among us. I have killed a rattlesnake on the front porch. I have killed a rattlesnake on the back porch. I have killed rattlesnakes in the barn, in the shop and on the driveway. In fact, I kill every rattlesnake I encounter.

I kill rattlesnakes because I know a rattlesnake will bite me and inject me with poison. I don’t stop to wonder why a rattlesnake will bite me - I know. It will bite me because it's a rattlesnake and that's what rattle- snakes do. I don’t try to reason with a rattlesnake…I just kill it. I don’t try to get to know the rattlesnake better so I can find a way to live with the rattlesnakes and convince them not to bite me…I just kill them. I don’t quiz a rattlesnake to see it I can find out where the other snakes are, because (a) it won’t tell me, and (b) I already know they live on my place. So, I just kill the rattlesnake and move on to the next one.

I don’t look for ways I might be able to change the rattlesnake to a non-poisonous rat snake...I just kill it. Oh, and on occasion, I accidentally kill a rat snake because I thought it was a rattlesnake at the time. Also, I know, for every rattlesnake I kill, two more are lurking out there in the brush. In my lifetime I will never be able to rid my place of rattlesnakes.

Do I fear them? No! Do I respect what they can do to me? Yes! And because of that respect, I give them the fair justice they deserve...I kill them.”

Maybe as a country we should start giving more thought to the fact that these jihadists' are just being like rattlesnakes, and act accordingly!

I object to your comparison of rattlesnakes to jihadis. Rattlesnakes kill rats and mice. Jihadis are 100% no good.

.
Rattlesnakes give fair warning — Jihadists are the Muslim equivalent of bubonic plague.

The difference between Islamq and rattlesnakes is that rattlesnakes do serve auseful purpose of controlling the rodent population. Whereas Islam is like an invasive species that destroys the indigenous ecosystem, like Burmese pythons do in Florida.
