Gee.. did we touch a nerve? Did the poor (American) Muslim's get their collective panties in a wad, because something the average Muslim ACTUALLY CARES ABOUT might be threatened.
I mean, they absolutely could care less about 3000 dead Americans, or the tens of thousands other dead from Muslim terrorists around the world. These dead are simply the infidels .. just like dead pigs or dogs, not people.
(Oh, you say that YOUR Muslim friend isn't like that. Sorry to burst your bubble, if he or she is at all devout, if they read the Koran and worship faithfully, the ARE like that. They also have as much a duty to lie to the infidels - that's YOU - in defending their faith as the Jahaadists have to blow up the infidels churches, schools, men, women, and especially the children.)
They absolutely don't care about their own women and children. The Jahaadist in Iraq use 'em as shields, when not generally treating their women like animals.
No, all they care about is their precious faith, and their holy sites.
Mecca...Medina - Give 'em 24 hours warning (because we DO care about their women and children - more than they do), and nuke both cities until they glow. They'll have to postpone their next pilgrimage for at least 10,000 years, or use radiation suits for the trek. Yes, this is a legitmate threat if there is a NBC (nuc, bio, chem) event in the U.S.A. This is a legitmate threat if Iran does not destory it's nuc production facilities (memo: Add Tehran and a couple of Shiite holy sites to the target mix).
This is about the point some liberal, neo-liberal, or weak-minded if well meaning religious person returns comments on how outraged or sad they are that I'm such a naive or hateful person. So, I'll preempt that now.
The enemy is real, and persistent. They want to destroy Western civilization and particularly, any part that is Jewish, Christian, or American.
The enemy wants to kill you. Correction, they do not just want to kill you, they want to kill your wife and kids, or take them for household slaves. It's written in their holy book (Qur'an), and they live their faith to the fullest in the Middle East, the Sudan, and previously in Afghanistan.
Do not be deceived. Do not be confused. This war is not going away. This war will not end until Islam is vanquished, or the world capitulates becomes a Muslim Caliphate. You, your children, and your grandchildren will fight and win this war, or you will submit to Islam. There is now third choice, because Muslims do not want "peace" in the terms of Western Civilization, i.e. absense of hostilities and conflict. "Peace" to a Muslim is YOUR submission to Islam. They can be beaten, but they will neither surrender or make peace on Western terms.
I regret to inform you that Americans will not make "peace" with Islam. We will blow your ass to hell up, and make Medina and Mecca uninhabited cities of glass unless Islam accepts OUR peace terms. You surrender, you put your swords and guns and Iranian N-bombs in a deep hole in the ground, and you can worship Allah in peace. Otherwise, everything holy about Islam you care about will be gone.
