Interesting, if disturbing post.

I didn't see fraternity parties listed in their activities. What do they do for fun on the weekends? Bomb embassies?

Well, I think it's safe to say that a Marshall Plan for the middle east is not going to work. This is a society and culture that is just not ready for free markets, capitalism, democracy, etc. In short, this is not Europe circa 1945. It's Europe, circa 1245, if it bears any resemblance at all.

I'm not sure what the solution is after the total annihilation of their capacity to harm us.

That may not be as easy as you think.

No doubt, your link is to the "sister article" to this one. This is an austere and determined foe we face.

This was reprinted in my Sunday paper today. I almost posted it because they re-titled it to something different, thankfully a search of jihad brought this up.

People are reading this and this is a BUMP so even more can read it.

We have to know the enemy.

I was telling my wife about some of the things in the article before she read it herself and her first remark was "brainwashing". Can't argue with that.

Did you notice the almost Pavlovian and schizoid responses, one minute Mr. Nice guy the next a cold blooded killer, fits pretty well with the reports of the terrorists of 911 I think.

So do we have the ultimate controlled "killer robots" who are without thought and conditioned to do the bidding of the Master Terrorist or do we have true terrorists who know what they do and choose to do it or possibly some combination of the two?

Rewards of Jihad per Islam as I have read it and the info I have come across.

1)Eternal life in paradise
2)The permission to see the face of Allah,
3)And the loving kindness of 72 young virgins ( big eyed and fair)who will serve him in heaven. ( sounds like a harem or an orgy)

4)The jihad man earns a privilege to promise a life in heaven to 70 of his relatives.

I wonder lol why no female jihad warriors are allowed ???
I am not suprised these folks wanna kill us all:(
Lord help us all :)

"It was the Jews who crucified Christ, you know

[ScreamingFist]

"what stupidity by people" Yes, especially those that reply to the wrong person.

In 2 or 3 years, after a half dozen more 9-11 level events, there will be a quarantine of islamic nations when we finally realize that there is no way to separate the wolves in sheep's clothing from the wolves. We will need to totally segregate the West from the insane death cult nations, until they sort out there death cultists on their own.

And of course, we will need to intern or deport many of the the sleeper agents and terrorists and their "camouflage communities" in the USA.

Naturally, with the cutoff of all trade and travel (and oil) there will be severe economic hardship in the West.

But nothing like the mass starvation in the middle east after they are quarantined.
