I agree with you. Quite frankly, my mouth dropped open when he said that.
I did read somewhere, btw, that the Defense Dept. and various others have been reexamining the initial idea that Islam was just like any other religion, but simply seemed to have a higher than average number of violent flakes, and are looking at the fundamental texts and beliefs to determine how much of the violence and conquest mentality is an integral part of the "religion" itself and if so, how to deal with it.
Of course, Islam is entirely different, being a political system as well as a religion, and having been violent and warlike since day one, so recognizing this would be a step in the right direction and would help us be more realistic about our options.
Note, I am not advocating exterminating all Muslims or anything like that; I am sure there are many for whom it is simply a cultural thing and who have no intention of doing anything other than tending their date groves or smoking their hookahs. But the fundamental direction of Islam is towards violence and domination, and unless Muslims make a conscious decision to change this - in which case it would no longer be Islam, of course - the possibility always exists for Islam to bare its fangs at any moment that it feels strong enough to do so.

As long as islam exists, it represents a well greased vehicle for the psychotic lunatic fringe to maim and kill in the name of something. It provides a pretext of legitimacy to engage in mayhem for some phoney cause like this mohammad cartoon thing. These are people with no stake in stable society looking for any excuse cause mayhem. There is no more rehabilitation for islamofascism than for pedophilia. You got to kill them and outlaw the further practice of islam as organized crime under the guise of religion.
