bump for later
Clearly -- the ONLY permanent solution is to totally destroy militant Islam and all who follow the militant directions in the Koran.
For a peaceful and tolerant Islam to evolve or survive, one must assume there are "peace loving, moderate Muslims"....
A belief with little empirical evidence to support.
Semper Fi
Chilling. History not shared is lost. How many Americans know this? We are doomed to suffer and repeat History again and again, unless we destroy the enemy.
Try looking at Turkey or Bangladesh. Not all Muslims are radicals, although Osama bin Laden would like us all to believe that.
Turks are neither peace-loving, nor moderate. Many of them used to be moderate decades ago, but so were Iranians. Today Turkey is drifting more and more into Islamism and anti-Americanism. And they were never peace-loving or tolerant. Ask the Kurds, Greek, Assyrians and Armenians.
Very good read!
I think Turkey has a Christian masacre or two in their not-to-distant past and the Islamists have been running amock in Bangladesh.
I always think of the irony of when I found this out. Because of 9/11 we started our homeschool schedule a week later. We were to learn about pirates. The only pirate documentary I could find in the library was on the Barbary pirates.
Muslims will also chop off your head in front of your daughters and then rape them. Their "Prophet" did so - read the Koran for the details.
Payment in Iron
Few people know that the impetus in creating the United States Navy and the Marines was to combat Islamic pirates.
After all, the United States could have gotten by with a coastal patrol force if it were not necessary to send men half way around the World to protect our interests. This war we are in is nothing new, not even for a young country like ours.
Ironically, I just posted the following on another thread.

A man who thought of himself as a "true" Christian, in that he believed Jesus brought the best moral code to humanity, a man who had to deal with the Barbary pirates and who had to compromise in the signing of a treaty with dubious wording so non-Muslims wouldn't have to pay Islamic tax? Jefferson was no fan of Islam, believe me. He studied law, including the Qur'an as a system of laws, but I don't think he gave it a lot of consideration for the very simple reason that he didn't have to deal with it on home soil. He didn't keep the Qur'an by his bedside and memorize it. It was just extraneous study material to him. He was more concerned with arguments between Christian denominations - irritated by them, really, because he thought the disagreements were ruining Christ's real message. Although there were those of his time who did know enough about Islam to discuss it and to be rightfully fearful of it, I don't think Jefferson was an Islamic scholar. Rather, I think he approached it with some amount of naivete and a sense of it being "far away" and thus not our problem. If it had become an issue on American soil, I think he would have become obsessive in studying and refuting Islam because the laws of Islam are polar opposites from our Bill of Rights and our Constitution, and therefore, against everything he believed in.

Do you think George W. Has a copy of the KORAN ?
As long as the Qur'an is available for indoctrination purposes, all believers are potential radicals. Islam needs to be shelved permanently. Forget Osama. Study Islam. That's all you need to do.
