Islamofascism must be seen in the clear light of truth. It is a criminal cabal. It is murdurous. It seeks to do the greatest evil possible. It wraps itself in a religion of retribution practiced primarily in opressive, tyrannical cultures.
The only way to stop the terror of Muslim fanaticism is to outlaw it worldwide. It must be driven underground and its leaders must be killed or imprisoned. The cost of being a member of an Islamofascist criminal gang must be death not of their choosing or life imprisonment in absolute isolation.
Conspiracy to mass murder is the most heinous crime imaginable. We must demand that all of these fanatics lose their lives or liberty as quickly as they can be discovered. Only a global attack on this murderous conspiracy will stop them.

We had better take care of this problem before it is too late. Some day we will wake up and it won't be a building or two gone or a dozen planes missing, it will be a city missing and our entire way of life gone.
To be the most powerful society ever to have walked upon the earth and to have a place called "the tribal areas" where we are told our enemy is safe seem ludicrous.

Maybe a modern society with its refined moral standards can't defeat one with none.

Bill Quick has put into words the sinking feeling I have about the administration

Over here, Witch ........

By the way .... welcome to FR. Thank your son for serving his country.

As harsh as it sounds, everyone who shouts "Death to the Infidels" should be eliminated immediately and everyone quietly providing money to them likewise eliminated.

There must be a few horrible examples made of these people to slow down the rest.

Expel all muslims and close the borders so no more go in.

Make it known worldwide that the we will utterly completely destroy Mecca if this does not end. And it will not, it will only get worse. We ended WW2 with the destruction of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, its due time to do it again.
I can live with the memory that we may destroy a religious shrine but if it is a bargaining chip in our favor then so be it, war is hell.

Yeah we should go into panic stricken hysterics and implement a totalitarian police state. Totally restructure our society in a fit of panic. Boy, That is a "Great" idea

Gee Cal what part of the 1st Amendment do you find so hard to understand? You know, the part that says:

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

Anyone of the Chicken Little Pundits even bother to notice that we are all ready well on our way to WINNING? Time for the Drama Queens and Hysteric Chest Beaters in the Junk media to take a deep breath and get grip.

Yeah we should really throw away everything that makes our society great because of a bunch of 7th Century retreads.

As Lady Thatcher might say, This is no time to go wobbly

The problem I have with those who are so critical of GWB is that, in our system of government, we have presidential elections every four years and only those candidates that are nominated by their respective parties have a chance to become POTUS. In 2000, the other choices were Algore and Ralph Nader. In 2004, the other choice was John Kerry. Do you mean to suggest that any of these three men would have done a better job? I am not saying that there is no one else who could have managed the WOT more successfully. The point is that THESE WERE THE CHOICES.

Despite the accusations of the Bushaters, he is not a dictator and has had to work through Congress, the military leaders, and, at times, the courts in the prosecution of the war. IMO, President Bush has done the best job that he could in the face of constant opposition by the left and constant criticism by the right. It is not possible or fair to judge a POTUS in the middle of his term. History will judge President Bush, not today's pundits from either the left or the right.

Do you remember when Osama said he would use our laws against us?

[MNJohnnie]

Gee it would be really nice if the macho chest beater would remember, even for a heart beat, that the vast bulk of the forces fighting and dying for OUR side in the war on Islamic Fascism are Muslim Iraqis, Pakistanis and Afghanis.

This "kill them all and let God sort it out" makes for macho sounding rhetoric, it nonsense as US Government Policy.

Did not work so well for the Russians in Afghanistan to play it this way now did it?

[Recon Dad]

I reread my post and in no way did I say, "kill them all and let God sort it out".
What I did say was you can not give an enemy a sanctuary where you can't attack them.
Your other statement concerning all the Muslims fighting and dying for our side doesn't address the fact that we can't even get the Muslims amongst us to condemn the terrorists. Their heads might be here, but their hearts are with our enemies.

shame that our PC culture needs another 9/11 with at least 100,000 US casualties before we "put a gun" to iran's , n.korea's and similar countries' and groups' heads.

[flynmudd]

Unfortunately, that is what it is going to take, another 9/11 event.

We are at war with islamofacists, with religious fanatics.

Gee Cal what part of the 1st Amendment do you find so hard to understand? You know, the part that says:

Nothing in the 1st allows fanatics to ignore the rest of our Constitution in order to 'freely exercise' their religion. 'Religious' acts can be anti-constitutional & criminal..

Yeah we should go into panic stricken hysterics and implement a totalitarian police state. Totally restructure our society in a fit of panic. Boy, That is a "Great" idea.

Our constitution [if followed - big if] protects us from gov't 'panic' as well as from religious panic.
Can you agree that overzealous politicians are just as bad as religious fanatics?

[abclily]

Islam is a religion of death. You still don't understand this concept? What would it take to awaken your understanding?
