[John O]

I believe that once you decide to fight a hot war, you do it WWII style. Take no prisoners.

But in the middle east I would add a twist:

First, you wipe out all powerful physical forces. Then you write off all adult muslims and male children over the age of ten. They all go to a separate walled off state in which they would spend their entire life. The camp would ahve no mosques but would have Christian churches.

The rest of the country would see all of its mosques ether destroyed or used for something else, maybe churches.

But everything I just posted is ridiculous, for it violates the very core principles I hold as a Christian. There is no human solution to Islam other than somehow preventing them from killing and maiming those that disagree with them. How do you do that without simply wiping out their entire culture and colonizing the area?

God will take care of it, eventually.

How do we know if we are not the means God will use to handle it?

In the OT God commanded his people to utterly destroy the nations that were in the promised land. Why? So that their sins would not infect God's people. God had no problem with genocide.

We are in the middle of a religious war. Islam has commanded its followers to fight against us until the last moslem dies or the last non-moslem dies.

Eradicating islam, by whatever means necessary, up to and including nuking the entire mideast and everyone in it (with the exception of Israel of course), is not only self defense but is also defense of the innocents that islam is destroying.

I like your segregation idea, but we need to make sure that no copy of the koran exists anywhere and that no child is allowed to be instructed in it. (under penalty of death). I truly expect Jesus to come back before this can be done, but I'm not writing the idea off entirely until Jesus gets here.

Well, that was the Crusaders’ mindset.

Yes, but that was under a different covenant.

With that I agree. That is why I’ve said, since 2011, that we need to treat Islam in the US as we treated the German-American Bund during WWII. Islam needs to be classified as a political organization, rather than religious.

As much as I’d like to do that, it’s just not that simple. It’s why I believe, ultimately, God is the one that will sort this out. The hands of Christians are tied on this. The bible is pretty clear about how to treat your enemies and, of great importance, is the Christian foundational belief that the individual is king. That is, your relationship with Christ is between you and him. It is personal. There is no “the masses”. There are only individual people. It means we treat our enemies similarly. We can fight them on the battlefield but we can’t simply wipe out a city because we know the people will someday be suicidal muslims. This would not end well for our self perception as a culture.

Frankly, the only human solution is to simply kill all muslims. And to advocate that makes one sound eerily similar to the radical muslims.

This touches on where I think this whole thing will go.
