Allow me: "They" is Islam.
We who have been raised in the relative safety of modern United States carry a huge burden around. One that will, unless we find some way to set it aside, will kill us all. That burden has a beautiful name and we all love it. It's called "goodness."
We pride ourselves on being against violence and hatred and discrimination. We avoid any mention of evil, even when that evil tries to kill us and our children. We seem to think that is we just ignore it, it'll go away and leave us alone. This is borne out in the instructions to prospective victims of robbery or rape: "just give them what they want and they'll let you go."
Well, Islam isn't going to just go away. The basic tenets of the cult require the faithful to establish Islam in every corner of the world, by force if neccesary.
Pigs smell bad. go to any pigpen and check it out if you don't believe me. But those pigs we see at the County Fair don't smell bad. They've been washed and combed and curried and even perfumed. But they're still pigs and when they go home from the Fair, they'll smell badly again.
Islam is like those pigs. Individuals, in special circumstances, work, eat and play much like their Christian neighbors. But they are still Muslim and when enough of them have moved into a country, state, or neighborhood, they want their neighbors to become Muslim too, and remember, this is to be done by force if neccesary.
Islam will never be eradicated, even by destroying every holy site they have. But it can be kept in check if they all-- especially including the County Fair types-- firmly believe we will destroy every holy site, every mosque and every jihadist that dares to show his head.
First though, we have to make them believe it and to do that, we have to speak as one voice on the subject. Dissent among our own forces will hardly accomplish that.
Ive raised a lot of kids over the years and one thing I know: Threats of punishment are meaningless. A promise of punishment is what gets results.
