Excellent article.

An interesting insight into their deadly intensity --

"An offshoot of this philosophy poses a dilemma for theories of deterrence. The Islamic traditions of war allow the Muslim forces to retreat if their numerical strength is less than half that of the enemy. Other traditions go further and allow retreat only in the face of a tenfold superiority of the enemy. The reasoning is that the act of jihad is, by definition, an act of faith in Allah. By fighting a weaker or equal enemy, the Muslim is relying on his own strength and not on Allah; by entering the fray against all odds, the mujahed is proving his utter faith in Allah and will be rewarded accordingly."

Islam flunked the 20th Century. If they can't eradicate the "radical" from the "Orthodox," they will become the inevitable casualty of a civilized planet.

Sooner the better.

I agree.

Islam is destined for the dustbin of history....they see it and realize it's conquering time NOW or NEVER.
