More of them AND more of us are going to die.
Without Islamic reformation, the world is looking at a blood
bath the likes of which WW I pale in comparison.

I agree with the blood bath part but there is a significant difference. The last of the truely heroic military stances of Arab men was in WWI with Lawrence of Arabia uniting the tribes of the Arabian peninsula.

In the 6 Day War, the Syrians, Jordanians and Egyptians massed a massive army to move against Israel. Israel defeated them . It wasn't effortless and the carnage was massive but they defeated a substantially larger force through better tactics and high motivation. The price of defeat was potentially the slaughter of about 1/2 of the remaining Jews left on the planet. They had to fight to the death.

Since the 6 Day War, Moslems have not had the stomach for a frontal assault on armies, they run and loose every time.

As in Iraq and Israel they snipe from concealment and they make war on Women and children. The Palestenians consider it a high achievement to gun down pregnant women and children.


They choose the undefended target and strike by steath. They have a very different concept of honor.
