I agree.

Problems affecting the Muslim world:

Inbreeding leading to birth defects, infant death, and low intelligence in the survivors.

Distrust/prohibition against vaccines because they might be stealth infertility drugs. This also weakens their populations.

What higher education there is, is Islamist. Generally, they have a high level of illiteracy. Fewer books published than anywhere else. Lack of innovation. Dependency upon Western science. Great tendencies for own goals among their jihadists.

Institutionalized poverty, leading to low GDP and locked-up capital that cannot be leveraged to the advantage of the state without widespread appropriation of gold, jewlery or livestock.Crime and oil are the source of the jihadists' wealth. We have clamped down on their *charities*, which was the main institutionalized source of money for jihad and at least made it more difficult for them to raise vast amounts. If they use oil as a weapon, it will only accelerate our search for alternatives.

Half their human capital, the women, excluded from society.

The recruitment of their young and middle-aged males to homicide bombing and generally fruitless jihad that decimates their military potential.

A propensity to honestly state their goals publicly and to encourage their remaining young males to behave so disgustingly (gang rapes, car burnings)within Western democracies that the host societies are forced to legislate them out of the country (Holland, Germany, UK).

Great disparity in the cultures of Muslim countries that lead to civil war and ethnic cleansing within those countries, always perpetuated by the Muslims. When they have cleansed the Christians, Jews, Hindus, Buddhist and animists, they then turn on each other.

If the Caliphate was possible, why wasn't it instituted first, before declaring war on the West? OBL stated that "the people will follow a strong horse", and then Al Queda proceeded to prove that all they could do was destroy their own Muslim people and countries, while the West continued to be prosperous.

If, by some miracle, they succeeded in establishing a Global Caliphate, the internecine warfare would keep it weak and divided. They can hurt us, they can tie up our militaries, they can play the oil card, but we will prevail. This has been the cheapest war, as a percentage of GDP, that America has ever fought. It has seen the lowest number of casualties of any war we have ever fought. It has not impacted our economies, whatever other problems they may have. Even our own traitors, the left, are forced to proclaim that they support the GWOT, even if they try to make the point that Iraq isn't a part of that.

Islam may have been able to control all Muslims before we had air travel and the Internet and satellite TV. I don't think they can still exert that amount of control. When I watch the *demonstrations* in Pakistan, for example, I see dispirited people covertly watching the minders for the cue to pump fists into the air and shout "Death to America". So, they can mobilize a few thousand people at a time who are terrified and brainwashed into participating. This is not something we have to fear as a global political opponent, IMO.

However, as propaganda for our side, it doesn't hurt to make the West aware of their goals. I am not sure how many people in the West understand the Muslim tendency to brag and exaggerate their strength and successes. If they were quiet and reasonable, they would be a lot more effective and would not mobilize as many of us against them as they already have.
