If you had told an Englishman on Sept. 10, 2001, that within five years all hand luggage would be banned on flights from Britain, he'd have thought you were a kook. If you'd told an Englishwoman that all liquids would be banned except milk for newborn babies that could only be taken on board if the adult accompanying the child drinks from the bottle in front of a security guard, she'd have scoffed and said no one would ever put up with such a ludicrous imposition. But now it's here. What other changes will the Islamists have wrought in another five years?

Absent a determination to throttle the ideology, we're about to witness the unraveling of the world.

There aren't enough weapons to kill all the Islamist - and even if there were, the price to our soul would be too high. In a battle of ideology - of our ideas Vs their ideas -- the question of how to separate a Muslim from his most toxic beliefs without killing him is formost... And yeah, just killing a person doesn't kill the ideas behind them - they know that, and we know that...

Depends on the ideas. If the price of believing that drinking water causes the decay of civilization becomes your life, people will stop believing that (except for a small number of complete wackos. They never quite disappear)

But it's impossible to raise the price of believing that God commands you to do something that would otherwise be unthinkable, to be so high that there will be no more people willing to do that.

Still, it's possible to greatly reduce the pool of willing volunteers, even then.

Our problem is, of course, our tolerance. The problem isn't that states don't ban Islam, but that our culture cannot bring itself to mock the tenants of the religion itself.

Read the story of Mohammed and you begin to get the clear sense that he was nothing but a con-man. But our tolerance leads us to the state where we cannot make fun of basic religious tenants (except small-o orthodox Christianity, of course).

The easiest way to kill Islam is to disinfect it with sunlight.
