Faced with Radical Islam, Europe Is in Danger of Decay (Hirsi Ali alert!)

Respectfully disagree. Of the opinion that no (physical) subdivisions of humanity have particular behavioral qualities based upon their genetic makeup (culture and tradition is another thing).

How about intelligence? Of course that isn't a behavioral quality, but it may greatly influence them. Somewhere I saw a list of IQ by nation. It was pretty amazing, places like the Congo had average IQ of 70. Not sure you can be "modern" if that is an accurate statistic.

Here is the table. Equitorial Guinea avg. IQ: 59.

IQ Range Classification
140 and over Genius or near genius
120-140 Very superior intelligence
110-120 Superior intelligence
90-110 Normal or average intelligence
80-90 Dullness
70-80 Borderline deficiency
Below 70 Definite feeble-mindedness

I'm sure there are problems with IQ tests, blah blah blah. But I think there is meaning there too, meaning that is so difficult to deal with mostly we don't.

Muslims, like Marxists, will kill you for speaking the truth.

But Muslims, unlike Marxists, don't have the management skills to set up gulags and concentration camps to kill millions. They're too busy killing each other.

Europe is not now faced with Decay. Europe is well along in the process of Decay. It was Faced With Decay some time ago.

Israel may have been nuked, perhaps by multiple weapons, and the retaliation is likely to be astounding.

I am almost certain that I read somewhere that Israel has enough nuclear weapons in its arsenal that can be deployed immediately and that the power of this arsenal would be enough to destroy every country in the Middle East.

Is this correct? Does anyone know? Well, it's unlikely that anyone outside the Israeli government knows for sure, but has anyone else run across this assessment, and if so, do you remember the source?

[knews_hound]

I believe that Israel is supposed to have as many as 200 weapons.

Woe be the Arabs when Israel is nuked.

This is likely to make the carpet bombing of WW2 look like a party.

Yet the media is concerned with movies and scandal.

Stay safe.

I don't think decay is the word. If it is true the they have organized fighting groups in the thousands, that's an explosion bound to happen soon.

I dunno ... I think deep down the muslims should be afraid of the European people. If one looks at who is capable of killing how many people for kicks I think the Euro's will win that prize(I use the term loosly) handily. Its not like they don't know how to round people up and do away with them.

Muslims who follow the religion as written will not be afraid to die for it. And certainly won't fear the Infidel.

There is no shortage of suicide volunteers for projects against us Infidels.

The 19 young Muslim men well off, and relatively wealthy, who died killing 3,000 of us had plenty of time to think it over, but chose death and paradise over worldly rewards.

There are daily examples of this throughout the world.

The objectives of Islam are very straight forward and harder to obfuscate than most other religions.

You want an eternal reward then go out and subjugate kill or convert non believers in Allah, and as a special bonus ,if you die fighting to accomplish this you will go to Paradise.

So fearing the Infidel is not in the mix. - Tom

I disagree. At the end of the day the guys in the bowels of the pentagon with their charts of projected casualties in megadeaths fight for the us. The guys with their hands on the button waiting for that call fight for us. Bravery and fanaticism only go so far against ICBMs. Islamsists know this and will never provoke us THAT far. So in the intermediate phase of this war they will make huge strides as their legions of willing martyrs come in handy. Once we start playing hardball, and once it starts I don't think we'll stop, it won't matter much.

[Capt. Tom]

Why do you think the Muslims are in our country and flooding into Infidel countries in Europe. Do you think they like our culture and want to join it.

They will never assimilate, nor should they if they follow their religion. All the weaponry is useless against this force because, we aren't fighting a country that can surrender.

We are going to be fighting part of group of a Billion Muslims who are intermixed with us and our allies and can't be bombed.

Iran is a different situation. It is a country with a leader that can be targeted.

Fundamental Islam can't be wiped out, without the Infidels realizing what it stands for, and then doing something about it- instead of just reacting to the symptoms. - tom
