The newbie seems to be a 'destroy the entire country of Iran" proponent.
America should step up it's support for the anti-clerical forces in Iran, and constantly paint the shia entity as a shia version of the taliban. However, if the "negotiations" over Iran's quest for nuclear weapons fail, we have no choice but to take out the Iranian nuclear sights.
This "newbie" spent twenty years as a naval intelligence officer and from 1988 until retirement from the US Navy worked counter and anti-terrorism in many assignments, followed by a career in the operations directorate of DIA retiring in 2005. Upon retirement, this newbie spent a year tour in Afghanistan (third tour in country) as a private security director through 2006.
I have been home now for several months and will discuss any aspect of Islam to include every sect, terror groups, methodology, ideology, and cultural-political realities of the Worldwide Islamic community.
One fact I may offer is that while an agnostic or back-slidden Jew or Christian is just one "sale" away from a commitment to the faith by an earnest proselytizer of the faith. Once the sale is made the newly minted believer will become a person more engaged in charity, striving for patience, immersed in prayer for others, forgiveness of those who offend, introspection, and earnest effort to become guided in all things by principles of love and humility.
Good muslims are, by definition, in every authorized Islamic text you may examine, Quran, Hadith, Sunnah, or school of Isalmic Jurisprudence, exhorted to aggressively seek out and target the unbeliever and backslidden, to murder, rape, and conquer same in the furtherance of a violent, corrosive, and undeniably evil death cult.
Bad muslims--the agnostic, the backslidden, are just one sale away from joining the good muslims in murder and mayhem. The ones who resist are targeted for death by their "good" co-religionists.
Other than my background, I remain humbly a newbie.
BTW in the course of my professional life I employed and directed many muslims and depended on them in many instances to watch my back and to faithfully discharge their duties.
The death of one human is regrettable and tragic. War kills people and breaks things beyond repair.
In a war I must choose between my people dying or the enemy dying. In this war they made the rules, (there are no rules) they started the war, they are commited to destroy our civilization and imlement their own on our ashes. We need to finish it before they finish us.
