Perhaps the "moderates" need a swift kick in the rear end and recognize that we are not going to roll over and die at their feet. Perhaps the "moderates" need to learn that other religions and other people of good will are looking at their religion as an enemy. Right now "moderate muslims" feel no pain. Their fanatic brothers are allowed to commit any kind of outrage imaginable without anyone but the victim suffering any pain. I think starting with the acknowledgment that islam is the problem will begin to end the problem. You say that we can not openly attack their religion right now I say, why not? I will be interested in knowing how you would approach this problem.
Annoy a Jihadist - Mock Muhammed!
"Its teachings are violent and 7th century in its concept. It needs to be crushed, utterly destroyed ..."
Whoa nelly. Let's acknowledge that the first statement is true in many respects. The last thing we want and which the jihadists do want is a war against a whole religion of 1 billion adherents ... this is what the jihadists are hoping for.
The "religion of peace" cr*p is a way to acknolwedge that most muslims have *not* signed up for this violence and jihadist extremism. I think the strategy is right - as the romans put it: DIVIDE AND CONQUER. Splitting jihadists from normal, educated muslims is step one.
That being said, printing some tame cartoons and other non-provocations is sure proving the point of how irrational the muslim mobs can be.
MinuteGal is right. Bush is not attacking the religion, its adherents, or its prophet. Bush is going after islamo-fascist terrorists - the right focus.
If you want the eternal condemnation of the world, going off half-cocked and saying nonsense like ... "Wipe them off the face of the earth! " .... will earn it. how is that any different than the extremist muslim mentality against the Jews? Any different from what that vile Iranian PM said, just with different targets?
If you really want to defeat Mohammedan religion, quit saying vile things like wishing whole populations killed. Stick to 2 basic points:
1. It's a false, phony and violent religion that should be rejected everywhere.
2. If any muslim becomes johnny Jihadists or terrorists and attack us, *then* we respond and justifiably kill or capture them.
And prescription for violence against muslim civilians of any form is both morally wrong and strategically disastrous.
I think you had better go back and check who you are sending your post to. At no time have I said "wipe them off the face of the earth."
You had a bracelet too. That's neat. You may appreciate the page I did for Fred.

Here's Bruce:
OMG, there are radicals in Indonesia! It must be because they are Muslim, not because they live in shacks and eat dirt.
It's time to start issuing embassy guards miniguns for battlement wall mounts.
Not just Roaman .... Islam needs to be viewed as Carthage was. And then treated just like Carthage.
Oh I'm sure the Muslims will embrace that idiotic logic. Go talk to some of them and I'm sure they will just drop their faith with that Mr. Rogers logic. Gosh its worked so well for Israel hasn't it? If I need to grow up with my logic, you need to wake up with yours!
Was the embassy destroyed?
I believe Bruce and Fred were truely fine men. It is really sad to have lost them.
Both are still MIA. We still have hope.
God Bless.
He has to say that out of diplomatic and political necessity. Don't think for a second that he beleives it.
No, actually I think that President Bush is literally & truly a multi-culturalist appeaser, who in his heart believes there is no difference between Muslims & Christians in their excercise of their religious beliefs. President Bush is on record for having stated that in his mind, all roads lead to heaven, including for Christians & Muslims alike.
He does believe it, otherwise he wouldn't say this crap as often as he does. Or else he is just a coward who is afraid to stand up and tell off the politically correct thought police!
Sounds like good squishy, soft, non-Biblical, human reasoning!
And just exactly would we lose if it would go to hell in a handbasket?
