But we're told that there are 3,000 bad Islamics and the other billion or so are good. Which is true, that or articles like this one? (I tend to believe articles like this one.) Our survival may depend upon this understanding.

Just FYI, "Islam" is the religion and "Muslims" are the followers, there are no "Islamics." However, there are "Islamists," which are the extremist Muslims.

There is a very good MSNBC Investigates on tonight titled Abandon All Hope, it was shot inside Afghanistan earlier this year. The filmmaker interviewed Taliban POWs in the northern area held by the Northern Coalition. His interview with them certainly stamps this article as credible with a capital C!

In WWII, several tens of thousands of American Soldiers died to preserve an Idea--America!

One basic tenet of the Idea of America is "Religious Tolerance!"

We NOW learn that one of the Religions our Fathers fought for (& MANY Died for) has--as one of several of its Principle Tenets--assigned Itself the goal of Total World Domination and Elimination of All other organized Religions (by the slaughter of "Infidels" as needed)!

Our Fathers fought for a Free Nation with Religious Tolerance, But, instead, inadvertently allowed a poisonous band of Psychopaths to continue & expand!

It appears we must be HIGHLY SKEPTICAL of the so-called "faith" of "Islam," & assume its "followers" are NOT governed by normal "Western" concepts of "Justice, Faith, Humanity, Fairness, Mercy, Compassion, Honesty, Probity, Logic," or ANY other qualities associated with normal, civilized Human life!

"Islam" MAY have been a "Magpie," "Riding" the massive sacrifice of our Allied Troops-- now attempting to crush us with its utterly psychopathic "Laws," to attempt to re-create a "Totalitarian State" as we recover from the struggle to avoid just such a fate. "Out of the Frying-Pan, Into the Fire!!"

Nobody said maintaining Western Civilization was going to be Eazy!!

Both are true, but it depends upon the price. Muslims are seeking to militantly replace the worlds religions, but when they meet equivalent or overwhelming force they calm down and adopt less militant positions. (We must cause them to think of it like Tonto who surrounded by militant indians (westerners this time) is reported to have said "what you mean we, paleface")

I believe a serious extension of the military might of the western world will help the muslim faith begin to emphasize the more human aspects of Islam and you will find it hard to believe there were once many thousands of muslims crying "Death to America".
