"I must assume that you are out there killing every Muslim you see. If not, why not? Is it because you still have control over your impulses? You're rational? You think it should be handled by the military/law enforcement? What? "
I'm not sure. I don't know what the answer is. This is not an attack, it's a debate. We are at war. I don't think we're doing enough, but I don't know exactly what is "enough". I'm exasperated by those who seek to undermine our country and aid our enemies. islam is the enemy within. Do we deport them? Would it be enough if we were all just so hostile that no muslim in their right mind would come here? Assimilation is out of the question. We know that muslims regard coexistance in the same light as we regard subjugation.
So, what do we do? Is there a time where we take it to the streets? (Very unappealing, but perhaps it could come to that).
"I believe that Islam is a demented theology and the world would be a much better place if it was eradicated."
I couldn't agree more. So, now, how is that accomplished? Do we have them over for cookies and tea and tell them we find it disturbing that they enjoy cutting the heads off of infidels? They seem to only respond to, and understand force. What do we do? That's an honest question. Clearly I'm leaning towards the use of force. But how, when? How do we nullify the effect of an enemy in our house? How do we do it without losing our humanity? I guess that's one of the key differences between islam and Christains, Christians worry about such minor points as civility, humanity and pleasing a loving God.
These are troubling times to be sure.
That was a very thoughtful response. One thing you said raised what I believe is a very serious question.
"I guess that's one of the key differences between islam and Christains, Christians worry about such minor points as civility, humanity and pleasing a loving God."
There was once a time when this was not the case. If you were on the receiving end of a Crusade or an Inquisition you would probably disagree with the above statement. There are many more examples I could list of barbarity in the name of official Christendom.
But that period ended. Could the same happen with Islam? I doubt it, but in the Dark Ages I probably would have doubted that Christianity would change to the extent it did.
So what's the answer. I have always felt that there was a simple answer to the Islamic terrorism problem. I would have announced the Bush doctrine on September 12. Any Islamic terrorist attack against the USA would result in the leveling of a random major Islamic city. We wouldn't want to do it, but if announced ahead of time, it would be their own damn fault. We could even make it like a lottery, with a spinning wheel in the White House.
I would suspect that afterthe first time there wouldn't be a second time. Maybe this is why I'm not President
