Congress should pass a law outlawing Islam as a valid religion in the U.S. That ought to solve everything. Ooops. Guess they'll have to repeal the first amendment first.Interesting take on the concept of "religion". Both Germany and Japan obviously neglected the perfect vehicle for their world adventures in the thirties and forties.
Just think how differently things might have played out if they had simply referred to their aggression, what they did, as their religion. Then dressed their million man (religious) armies in civilian clothes and sent them overseas as "students" and "tourists".

As long as the cult of Islam is regarded as a religion precious little can be done about it under the law.

Germany & Japan didn't want to destroy our Western 'culture', they wanted to control it, and us.
-- Like it or not, we are in a 'holy war', -- a religious war against fanatics.
We cannot win if we fight it by being fanatical in return.
