the Spread of Sunni Theofascism ^
got to say one thing, this war on terror has surely added a couple new pages to the Webster Dictionary
If the title “Saudi Arabia, Wahhabism and the Spread of Sunni Theofascism” had been written in the most factually correct form, the entire text of the article would have been redundant, because the title, correctly, would have said:
Saudi Arabia + Wahhabism = spread of Sunni Theofascism.
Scoundrels.
This article is about things this administration does not want to talk about. Heck, most Americans don’t want to talk about this.
Islam is incompatible with democracy. As soon as they vote in the mullahs and sharia, democracy is dead.
The Israelis managed to halt an onslaught of attacks against them through the use of targeted assassination. There is no reason why we should not do the same.
That is, we currently target the terrorists, but so far, to a great extent, we have ignored the instigators and the financiers.
Now, I am *not* saying that we should do it the same way as the Israelis, with overt military attacks. We should still kill many such people, but “make it look like an accident”, or even better, make it look like natural causes.
Worldwide, there are probably fewer than 2,000 such instigators and financiers encouraging and supporting terrorists, and being instrumental in their recruitment and training and propaganda efforts. If we could exterminate the majority of those 2,000, only a tiny number would be replaced with individuals as effective.
But an epidemic of heart attacks, strokes, fatal slip and fall accidents, car crashes, undiagnosed illnesses, drug and alcohol abuse, and obvious homicide implicating one of their brethren, would severely impact them across the board.
There are also a large number of indeterminate individuals, who may play such an indirect role that exterminating them would be problematic.
So as an alternative, I propose we brainwash them. Yes, and not said in jest, either. Perhaps with a tiny cochleal implant to refresh their programming, with practice, in 48 to 72 hours, we might convince a firebrand cleric to instead preach peace, non-violence and democracy.
How would such brainwashing harm either them or their followers? The path of peace is superior, if at all possible, to violence, death and war. So perhaps it will save his soul, in addition to saving the lives of his followers.
This is an excellent article.
Ah, our dear friends again. If it weren’t for their massive oil reserves, the Saudis would just be a bunch of sand rats stuck in the stone age. Instead they’re filthy rich and actually have an influence on world politics. Y’know, maybe we should’ve let Saddam have them and then bombed him—kill two birds with one stone.
The Pope doesn’t have an army any longer and the Buddhists don’t fight anyone.
