With good spies we should always be able to zero in on the worst imams, the worst mosques, and their congregations.
In time though, if we do that, the surviving imams and their replacements will simply go underground.
But it'll be much harder for their congregations to do so, and they will remain exquisitely vulnerable.
But here I am once again advocating for something perilously close to genocide, which I desperately want to avoid. So that brings me back to prayer.
"Those who oppose the mullahs oppose Islam itself; eliminate the mullahs and Islam shall disappear in fifty years. It is only the mullahs who can bring the people into the streets and make them die for Islam-- begging to have their blood shed for Islam." -Ayatollah KhomeiniVery revealing, eh? How can we eliminate the mullahs without driving them underground, where they'll continue their fiery BS? That's what we have to figure out. Perhaps somehow by "educating" the bulk of the islamic world to ignore crazy mullahs??? But how? Dubya may very well be right; bring them democracy and liberty and they'll turn their backs on the mad mullahs all by themselves without any further prodding from us.
Which is almost exactly what Brad Cloven said in #6. Thanks, Brad!
