WOW, that was an excellent article that pretty much lays it out. I hope to God we can still salvage the Cedar Revolution.

I think therein lies the real and very knotty problem.

I don't know if it's solvable because I don't think we are capable of doing what needs to be done. We need to take over every news outlet in the Middle East and just begin deprogramming. It has to start with this one hard, fast FACT.

Every Muslim says "Inshallah we shall destroy our enemies". They have been saying that for decades yet they keep losing. Then when will they begin to understand that God is obviously NOT willing?

By finding common ground with liberal causes and methodologies, islamics can recruit and exploit multitudes of useful idiots to do their bidding, unwittingly.

Islam is the underlying problem. You will find the support for the dark side among all leftist organizations. It's that easy.

I never realized how Mohammed went all over doing "important" things on the same sites of Chritian miracles and Jewish holy places.

My ignorance was bliss. That the Western Wall abuts a Moslem shrine is just nuts! And just a bit too contrived.

I guess I'm not too culturally diverse or very ecumenically sensitive. :-/

islam's growth was stunted by it's location in the shade of two of the world's great religions. Judaism is an evolved religion. It started as a primitive, animistic religion; note, the "Burning Bush" and the importance of Mount Sinai to the Hebrew legacy. It was also strong enough to accept outside concepts such as monotheism, simultaneously to certain groups within the tribes which engaged in idol worship and polytheism. Those elements were slowly pushed out, although the mystic aspects of Kabballah still remain on the fringes and parlors of celebrities.

Christianity, never had an animistic phase but was able to draw from outside sources such as the cult of Isis, a female dominated group forming a foundation for the worship of Mary, mother of Jesus. Mithrists, a male based subgroup of Zoroastrianism, influenced the writings of "Armageddonists", such as John's Revelation and the Dead Sea Scrolls, who often referred to themselves as the "Sons of Light" who would fight the final battle against the "Sons of Dark". That was a direct reference from Zoroastrianism, for all intents and purposes, proto-Judaism.

islam is basically a stepchild of Judaism. It maintains the animistic aspect, i.e.: the sacred well of zam-zam, the black stone, etc. with a Messiah concept. think of it as a derivative based upon finding bits and pieces of the Old Testament. Add the concept of Saul/Paul apply it to mohammed, both being epileptics, both believed God spoke to them to initiate a conversion.

Yes, but we need to begin to show them that they are displeasing a God they claim to worship. Why don't we point that out to them? Everything they say is "Inhallah" (God willing). Well, if God were willing they would have won by now, instead they keep losing. Why aren't we pointing that out to them?

We need to start at home, too.

Every public spokesperson who addresses the war on terror needs to include a brief statement that includes the scope of this problem else the sheeple think it's limited. Islamofascists are on a land grab across the world. (For example, Thailand had over 40 bombs and over 100 attacks in the last few days.) Until our icons do this and the media reports it on the night time news, (1) the democrats will have a platform to snipe at the President, (2) the population will be asleep to the threat all around us.

"I think I read somewhere that the training that special ops troops go through is HARDER on them than anything that has been done to our prisoners in Gitmo...blech"

Yeah, if we dared to put terrorist through just a little bit of the "training" that we give to Navy SEALs, etc. we would be accused of vile forms of "torture." [fwiw, if it were up to me I would simply require endless "waterboarding" of every single terrorist prisoner until they squealed out everything they know. Actually, the rumor is that waterboarding leads to talking rather quickly.]

We have a HUGE problem with our media. I wonder if we are capable of winning this war as long as those who run the media are so shallow they can't see what is before them.

Unfortunately, that is exactly what they want to happen.

I just get the 'ol "page cannot be displayed." Oh, well...

Same article says 215 Hezzie rockets into Israel today. Looks like there still needs to be a lot more "attrition".

If Bush came out in support of the Hezzeis then the MSM would be for Israel. The MSM will oppose anything Bush supports as their hatred for him is paramount to them. I also believe their hatred of him stems from their perception that he's a Christian. Perhaps it's just a matter of evil vs. good.
