Until Islam eradicates the murderous psychopathic philosophies and groups amongst them, the will for ever be the enemy of all civilization.

I would be a shame to have to kill 1 billion people to get the 100 million bad ones.

BUT WESTERN MAN IS BOTH WILLING AND ABLE TO DO SO.

Islam without the Koran or Muhammad isn’t Islam.

Where's the voice of the 900 million who deserve to be spared? If those are truly the proportions...which I doubt...then the reformation should come from within. I do not see nor hear any Islamic voice tolerating the presence of Christians, in this country or anywhere else in the world.

Simply look at Islamic states especially those which have adopted sharia law. They are repressive, treat women as second class citizens or worse and even the monied Gulf states are basically tribal societies. Islam is not compatible with individual liberty especially freedom of religion. When Attaturk abolished the Caliphate in Turkey and sought to build a progressive modern society, he totally separated governance from Islam and sharia law.

Then I guess you weren’t looking at or listening to General Al Sisi. Whether he can get his Muslim countrymen to come along is another matter.

Lt. Col. Matthew A. Dooley had the right idea about islam , a full blown war on islam,

from a preservation of his

Some actions offered for consideration here will be seen as not “politically correct” in the
eyes of many, both inside and outside the United States (Examples: . Decision Points
considered in PH Ill where Saudi Arabia threatened with starvation, Mecca and Medina
destroyed. Islam reduced to cult status).

This model presumes Geneva Convention IV 1949 standards of armed conflict and the
pursuant UN endorsements of it are now, due to the current common practices of Islamic
terrorists, no longer relevant or respected globally. This would leave open the option once
again of taking war to a civilian population wherever necessary (the historical precedents of
Dresden, Tokyo, Hiroshima, Nagasaki being applicable to the Mecca and Medina destruction
DP in Phase Ill)

The Plague of Islam

If the civilized world is to survive, we must recognize Islam for what it really is: It’s not a religion, form of government, or anything recognizable to the civilized mind. Islam is a disease, an incurable disease of the mind that is highly contagious among the feeble minded and is now spreading among the world’s feeble minded at an epidemic rate. As with any disease, one can’t reason with this disease, negotiate with it, or treat in any manner other than how one would treat any other incurable disease.

Past efforts to contain this disease have failed. Now, carriers of this Plague of Islam must be eradicated wherever they're found, for if they're not, this disease will eventually end not just Western Civilization, but it will undo over 5,000 years of human civilization.

I agree with your post 19.
This was well understood by the West, and certainly by our forefathers. It was not necessary to exclude Islam from First Amendment protection because all understood that it was a scourge not to be welcomed on one's shores. Now, two hundred plus years later and the West is committing suicide. Our Media and Education system (and gutless politicians), in their zeal to destroy Christianity (an anathema to Satan's minions), embrace Islam and pretend it is compatible with Civilization and the West. It is not. It never has been, and it never will be.
