My thoughts exactly. I believe that I have also read that infidels should be given the chance to convert. Everytime we hear of one of their 'messages' being released I wonder what has been embedded (symbolism, syntax, phrasing) for the Jihadists to act upon.

Are their any special holy days in Islam coming up?

I love how he address "Christendom".

Reminds me of a hymn from my childhood.

The Catholic Church's feast day of Our Lady of the Rosary is on October 7 in the Catholic calendar, because on October 7, 1571 the Christian forces defeated the Muslim forces at the naval battle of Lepanto (obviously one of their ships got away).

Since Pope St. Pius V had asked what was left of Catholic Europe (this was several decades after the Reformation) to pray the Rosary - NOT FOR PEACE, the way we pray it now, but for VICTORY - as Rush says, peace follows victory), he attributed the Christian victory to that prayer.

Anyhow, the hymn had a verse:

"See o'er Lepanto's waters spread
The Moslems' dark array!
A voice to Christendom went forth
And gave the word to pray!"

We should try it again.

Along with those daisy cutters of course! :-)
