Re Post 218, you are so right it hurts. The simple truth is, we are engaged in wars similar to Vietnam. The similarity is, we are not “IN IT TO WIN IT”, but to hold the line just long enough for “sanity to prevail” among our enemies, or people to get a whiff of “Freedom”, and want it. The biggest problem is, they have seen our version of life, and the DESPISE IT. They don’t want fags openly parading around, they don’t want little girls dressing up like street corner whores, they don’t want their women working, driving, voting, or talking behind their backs, and they DO NOT WANT FREEDOM. They want to be led around by a force greater than themselves. The only way we can beat them is to destroy what they believe in. If this were something like WW 2, we would firebomb Mecca, Medina, storm the Dome of the rock, and turn it over to our allies. We would have allowed Indonesia to rot on the vine, not giving them help or money. We WOULD BURY THEM, and when they cried uncle from under the rubble, we would show them the path to the future, and allow the free exercise of religion to come forth, with missionaries of the Lord Jesus Christ, all for free.
And how did that whole “Winning Hearts and Minds thing” work out in Vietnam?
So true. It would now be the Gravel of the rock, the Powder of the rock, or the Dust of the rock, and muslims (who highly respect brute force) would shut up and return to their economic endeavors.
As it is, Islam will keep pushing because nobody is pushing back with any vehemence.
