Radical Islam is understandably perceived as the origin of the majority of terrorism today. The average Muslim on the other hand, is perceived as being a group that would never become involved with terrorism. This perception is seriously flawed and fatally dangerous. What is the source that feeds radical Islam? The religious ideation is extrapolated from the Koran itself. Islam's sacred literature is the source, which allows for the terrorist attacks we see today. Islam is thought to be a peaceful religion. Both history and current events prove otherwise.
Islam is very clear about not being friends with Christians even though Allah is the Arabic name for God. However the God of Islam is not the God Christians worship.
Sura "5.51": O you who believe! do not take the Jews and the Christians for friends; they are friends of each other; and whoever amongst you takes them for a friend, then surely he is one of them;
Islam differs sharply with Christianity on cardinal doctrines like the divinity of Christ and the Holy Trinity. The Koran clearly teaches to kill and dismember your enemies and espouses war for the advancement of Islam. Warfare against unbelievers is repeatedly taught in the Koran. Not every Muslim would ascribe to Jihad and secretly plot against the United States. However sources say Islam is the fastest growing religion in the world. (5) With a world population of one in five persons being Muslim, and estimates of 15%, which are radical Muslims, and another 15%, which can be swayed to become radical Muslims, the problem should be apparent. With a population of over one billion Muslims the estimates are 150 million radicals currently with an additional 150 million Muslims who can be recruited into the ranks of radical Islam (6)

Our pragmatic elders left many of them living in festering cesspools, where hatred towards us was encouraged in order to direct attention away from their own rulers. The Middle East imported the worst forms of governments the West produced & we turned a blind eye on it, because we were deeply involved in troubles of our own against the commies.
Many of the Arab governments were allies of the USSR. The fall of the USSR sort of allowed the cork to pop out of the bottle. Cleaning up the mess left to us by our elders has fallen to us & either we step up to the plate, accept our responsibility or IMHO, we deserve to lose.
YVW His previous letter, the one he referred to in the link I posted has been posted on FR a couple of times. It's an interesting read.
Yes, we have all learned much wisdom from the Sons of the Prophet (P!ss BUH) since 9-11.

Yep and yet sadly a lot of people here on FR advocate genocide for every Muslim on earth.
Much of the problem is due to our own rot from within. How many of us can claim to be children of the Enlightenment anymore? Our left has become collectivists, where the only thing left to individualism comes without any of the responsibility that was once the hand inside of the glove.

I prefer to think that they don't really grasp what they are advocating. Rather, they are seeking a simple solution that they feel will assure them and their families safety.
Sadly I think a lot of them realize exactly what they're advocating. They're so filled with hate that killing a billion or so people who are seen as subhuman doesn't bother them.
Look, we live in a society of very simple solutions. Depressed? Take a pill. Need information? Google it. Need cash quickly? Go to an ATM.
Why wouldn't it naturally follow: Fearful of muslims? Eliminate them.
Hannah Arendt probably plays into this, but to quote that even greater philosopher, Jello Biafra, "Give me convenience or give me death."
We also destroyed the Japanese death cult of Emperor worship.
I see no problem in trying to wipe out Islam as a viable belief system.

Step 2: Vaporize the koramials who continue to to be "inspired".
Step3: Raise a glass in honor of our fighting heroes.
Step 4: Begin similar tactic toward the socialist libs who have supported the koranimals.
Unfortunately, PC will prevent the USA from ever doing anything to protect itself.
Let's call it what it is; Evil. Evil exists in this world. Some theologies assert that Satan cannot act in this world except through the actions of his willing accomplices. Unfortunately for good people of all faiths these accomplices can be found in all cultures, the Arab culture just makes it a little easier. Adolph Hitler was a baptized Roman Catholic, Joseph Stalin actually attended an Orthodox Seminary, Mao and Tojo were Buddhists. In each case their actions were both abominable and against the preachings of their faiths.
Basically here is what the Freeper Generals would have us do in Iraq.
Americans: Yo, all you Iraqis. Now we know you all have been oppressed and terrorized by Saddam and his goons for about 40 years so we came over here to show you a better way. So gather round and we are going to teach you this thing called Democracy. We want to teach you this cause we figure if we get can get enough of you following this ideology you will not follow the ideology that preaches it is a good thing to fly airplanes into buildings full of our Civilians.
Now the first things you need to learn is this part about the Rule of Law. Study the sub chapters on Innocent until prove Guilty, Trial by Jury, Right to Legal Representation and really important, the chapter on outlawing Cruel and Unusual Punishment. Ok, now while you do that, we are going to arbitrarily round up and kill any Iraqis who we think maybe have ever talked mean about us.
What? No we are not going to bother with any of that messy Democracy stuff cause we are at war. And according to our Holloweird Movie guide to Military Action flicks any time you are at war you can waste anyone who pisses you off for what ever reason you want any way you want to do it. According to Hollyweird, we don't need nothing like proof or nothing we can just go wack that little Al Sadr freak cause he pisses us off. Evidence? We don't need no stickin' evidence. Our action movie heros never bother with any evidence. In the Movie we watch on TV says we are just suppose to go kill him because he pisses us off so that what we want to do here. Now quit talking back and learn our lessons on Democracy.
Iraqi 1. Hey Mahmoud, why are we helping these clowns?
Iraqi 2. What do you mean Achmed, they got rid of Saddam!
Iraqi 1. They did? Looks to me like they just took his place.
Iraqi 2. Well ya so?
Iraqi 1. Well at least the old thugs were from around here. These guys are not only from out of town they are not even Muslims. We may has well have Muslim thugs if we got to have thugs.
Iraqi 2. You right, time to join the Jihad!
That is what Freeper General Counter Insurgency doctrine as learned from watching TV Sitcoms would produce. It is utter stupidity but forget trying to penetrate their welded shut minds. They are too busy screaming what Democrat Campaign Contributor Mike Savage told them to say to do any thinking about Iraq.
Way past time the Freeper Know Nothings sit down, shut up and actually finally learns some BASIC facts about Iraq. Why are you all so afraid to actually LEARN something? Afraid you might have to finally admit you all have been wrong about Iraq from the start?

So you want to blow a bunch of stuff up that will unleash riots that will topple a dozen countries, then begin killing American citizens?
Uh, no.
Whaaaaaaaaa??? Do you have a link for that?
