"A lot of innocent people would be lost in the heat of such retaliation."

And it would be sad - tragic - if it were to come to pass. It is too bad that the "moderate" and "peaceful" faction of Islam does not stand up vigorously denounce the "heretics" that are giving Islam such a bad image, even though Western Civilization is begging on hands and knees for a reason not to retaliate against all of Islam.

But I think they cannot. As long as the jihadis can claim they are fighting for Islam, the rest of the Islamic world cannot truly oppose them - due to constraints within Islam itself that legitimize any act against infidels. And so a tragedy of epic proportions is about to befall Islam, Western Civilization, or both.

The tragedy is that we must kill the islamics to end the war. We cannot accept their surrender or their conversion to Christianity as sincere because their religion COMMANDS them to lie to unbelievers in order to advance their cult.

So, unfortunately the only good islamic is a dead islamic. This applies to those within this country as well as to those without. The cult is disordered enough that the adherents can never be trusted.

Thank you for your post! I agree with you.

And so a tragedy of epic proportions is about to befall Islam, Western Civilization, or both.

It might even be of Biblical proportions.

Historically..Islam produces leaders who in the end..must show power.
Its part of the Islamist psychy.
Even Gammel Abdel Nasser was driven by the ground floor throng to "Give us Victory over the infidel".
More calculating types..less interested with "Winning the minds of the people"..like Assad Senior thru in on the political roll.
The same gyrating throng that drove Nasser in his day exists today in Egypt...other nations..less visible in that time..now tower upward with the gyrating throngs..ie Lebanon...Pakistan...the Palestinians.
2 nations who could tip the scales in all this is Iran and Syria.
Both with histories of throwing in..and getting pounded for doing so.
America and Israel....Trying to keep the domino's from falling.
