so, alas, the civilized world will have to defeat Radical Islam while retaining a modicum of Christian decency...

ALL islam is radical. There is no friendly, neighborhood cool muslim.

If some will not personally cut your eyes out or detach your head from your body with an edged instrument for not bowing and converting, they certainly will not object if a more militant one does it instead.

That is the primary premise of the entire belief.

So, what would be the decent Christian way of dispensing with those who vow to live and breathe their religion, that calls for you head on a platter?

That's patently false. If it weren't, we'd be having a lot more problems in America than we do. America has a moderating influence even on fanatics. And there are clearly a large majority of Muslims in America who are neither fanatics, nor sympathetic to fanatical hate.

Everyone has the right to defend themselves against imminent danger. Unfortunately, even if all Muslims were forced to wear armbands—you know, like the Nazis did with Jews—there would be no way to tell whether such individuals deserved killing or not.

My heinous sin on this thread, apparently, was expressing Christian reservations to the "kill all Muslims" mentality—the same mentality Nazis exercised towards Jews—and I will not apologize for adhering to Christian standards of propriety. Advocacy for mass murder based on someone's religion is for indiscriminate haters—not Christians...
