Nobody wants to have to mention that little “convert or die” thing because that would shed truth on the nature of the battle. See, muslims are “peaceful” and we’re only at war with terrorISM and extremeISM. We’re fighting “ISMs” and need to use a “12 Step Program”, it seems. Until we realize that we are at war with islam, we cannot prevail. It seems islam knows that and it uses that fact to win in ways that would be impossible if we were, as a nation, to throw off the delusions.
