Great article by David French highlighting what many of us Service Members have returned home and have attested to. When anyone tries to explain that these places in the middle east aren't that bad, I love pointing out the terrible things we saw on port visits: the Thai and Filipino sex slaves, the practical slave labor of immigrant Indian people, rampant prostitution, and the sexual misconduct that female military personnel experience (and without recourse) in gulf countries.

I think an important part of the lack of empathy of many Muslims for their non-Muslim victims (maids, prostitutes, poor workers) is their iron-clad FATALISM.
If Allah WILLED them to be impoverished whores with no voice in the politics of Saudi Arabia, then WHAT CAN BE DONE, right?
I mean.....ALLAH WILLED IT, right?
So many of them don’t feel a need to care.
That’s also why a lot of them don’t aim their rifles; “My bullet will fly true if Allah wills it...”
Or why they don’t maintain their vehicles, e.g. tanks, “If Allah WILLS the tank to start, then the tank will start...”

Don't say TERROR.
Don't say JIHAD.
Don't say SHARIA.

Yup. This is one outrage where the Gut-Feeling Conspiracy Crowd can stow their paranoia. There’s no stopping what’s coming, and no grand theories are needed to give it legitimacy.

Correction:
Muhammad - a mass murdering pedophile.
The Koran - a guidebook to terror and eternal war, celebrating pedophilia.

Or why they donât maintain their vehicles, e.g. tanks, âIf Allah WILLS the tank to start, then the tank will start...â I agree with you regarding their fatalism but on the issue of maintaining their equipment I read that Muslims regard themselves as warriors and they regard those who maintain equipment akin to slaves who looked after the warrior's horses in the past. Since nobody wants to die being a slave they turn it over to the will of Allah. I'm thinking Allah never maintained a tank, which is OK with me too.

I don’t like seeing a bunch of butts in the air five times per day.
And, I don’t particularly care for those who feel they have the right to kill me because I don’t share their faith.

I think the relevant Arab maxim is:
