I disagree that our enemy is all of Islam, no matter what the Koran may say. Much of the Koran is similar to the Old testament and we have Christian and Jewish fundamentalist cults, too. Putting into everyday practice some of the commands and tenets of the Bible would be pretty Draconian, also.
The Wahhabis control Saudi Arabia. King Abdullah must recognize that or he will be gone, executed. Many in his own family, members of the ruling kingdom, are Wahhabis. Osama bin Laden was one. That means he must step lightly where they are concerned. Even with that, the King and his father before him have assisted the US behind the scenes in some of our foreign and CIA operations. They are generally on the plus side of our relationships.
Just as Christian and Jewish cults cannot control large groups of people, neither can the Wahhabis without financial and logistical support from other countries, countries from which they can operate and have diplomatic and foreign access. Ossama was kicked out of SA to prevent that but he maintained his access to his and his family's personal fortunes. Still, he had to set up shop elsewhere. That is the situation today in this WOT.
If you think Bush is not aware of that then try to make sense of the invasion of Afghanistan and Iraq. Explain our warnings to Syria, Iran, Libya, North Korea, and the rest. We have eliminated all but Iran and Syria as bases of terrorists operations.
For a cult to gain power and influence they must have the opportunity of greater influence. The Wahhabis gained that and we are trying to eliminate it. That does not make every Muslim an enemy and it would be political suicide to declare they are. Too many opportunists, not the least of which is the Democrat Party, would exploit that for their own victories and our defeat. That would be the end of the WOT with the terrorists winning.
When we speak of cults the Communist Party easily fits the description of a religious cult. The Democrats are emulating them. Both are very dangerous to our way of life.
The WOT is similar in complexity to protecting our borders, reforming the tax system and SS, and nominating someone for a position on the Supreme Court. Many say, Just Do This!, without considering all the ramifications. It is like the blind men describing an elephant. Each knows for certain that he is right, and he is, but right about only a small part of the whole. The person making the decision, in this case it is Bush, must consider the whole.
That does not make every Muslim an enemy and it would be political suicide to declare they are.
Unfortunately, there are many muslims who want to moderate Islam, but they are being overpowered by the hardliners. And the powers in the world that keep saying that Islam is a religion of peace make it difficult for those who want to reform Islam.
I don't blame muslims at all. They can't help it. But the heart of Islam is the Prophet and he was not a nice fellow.
If a Christian sect (in violation of the teachings of Jesus) set out to terrorize the world and grew by bullying and violence, I as a Christian would speak out loudly and would demand that it be killed. But muslims around the world do not forcefully condemn terrorism and extremism because that would be apostasy.
Every mosque--everywhere--that speaks violence or supports it or ultimately says "terrorism is bad BUT" must be closed.
Islam in its virulent form must be eradicated, IMO. It is not people who are the enemy...it is a religion of death and destruction.
