I fear that both of you are right and IMHO I think it almost impossible to wipe this threat out.

Even if they do something that is so dreadful the rest of the world turns against them including many Muslims. You will still get core belief that this is a few misguided souls from a peaceful religion.

Until we realise this premise is untrue that the very core of their religion wants to destroy and disrupt our very way of life then there will always remain a residual group ready to uprise at sometime in the future.

There have been religions that have been banned or only allowed to practice under certain circumstances in the past and Islam which in many cases is a front for the terrorists is going to have to be in that category I fear before the real threat to us is all but eliminated. Deep down I do not think it ever will be truly eliminated by people they will continue to call themselves "real or fundamental Islamists".

Thats my two pennyworth for whatever it is worth.

I agree - never truly eliminated.

The best we can hope for is that it goes into a prolonged remission.

Evil is a permanent part of the human social condition, both individually and collectively, just as germs, viruses and cancers are a permanent part of the human biological condition.

We waxed overly optimistic when we defeated the German Nazi's and Japanese Imperialists, as we did when we defeated certain germ born diseases. But in a way, those were easy, as they formed massed armies and separately identifiable cells.

Islam and cancer are proving more difficult, as they improve their ability to hide in plain site and mask their presence. It takes a strong and accepted authority figure or a desperate patient to submit to some of the radiation and chemical therapies available for cancer, and many good cells die in the process. Like AIDS, Political Correctness weakens our cultural immune system, making it more difficult to tell friend from foe.

Snugs, you are absolutely right. It's hard for those of us raised with a deep-seated value of freedom of religion to come to grips with a religion-based facist ideology, but we must.
