Many thanks!
There isn’t much similarity between Islam and Communism.
Radical Islam presents us with a more complex situation than Communism ever did.
There was no such thing as a ‘communist heritage’ but there is an ‘islamic heritage’ in the same way there is a ‘christian heritage’. The Europeans have spent several years (with limited success) trying to get rid of their christian heritage.
A heritage is an extremely difficult thing to get rid of.
The British Empire could not eliminate Islamic heritage, neither could the French. The Spanish probably could, but that would have meant forced conversions and another inquisition. The United States is even less equipped for this task (with our short attention span) than either the British or French Empires.
The future of the Islamic World lies in Iran. Iran is the most pro-American nation in the Middle East. (I know this sounds crazy, but Iranian youth are fed up with the revolution and are much more pro-American than Saudi or even Turkish youth).
We need to get smart about Iran. There is a pro-democracy, pro-human rights movement within Iran that needs to be cultivated. In this context, we need to re-examine the case for bombing Iran.

Someone has to say it, a lot of the people looking for help against Islam in Europe are gay. I understand “why” that is the case, but still, they have been marginalizing anything remotely masculine in their homeland for 30 years!
Their calls for help are going to fall on deaf ears. It’s the same all over the west. Liberal immigration policies create the problem, then liberals call for help to keep from having their throats cut.
I don’t fear Islam. I am a well armed aggresive white male christian. We gave you borders, we gave you nations, we built armies to protect you, we stood for your God given rights. You spit in our face!
If you want me to fight for you, you will come to me on your belly.
