The War on Terror is not, and should never have been, presented as an ideological war in which religion plays no part. It is a battle for the very life and soul of Western Civilization. The "other side" is armed with an ideology-cum-religion, which is inimical in every way to the established pillars of western society, and which is their only effective weapon. They must be disarmed. The "other side" has already made it quite clear that they will respect no civilized rules of conduct, nor spare any target. Why should we?

Very well put!

Thank you for showing that photograph.

I guess we don't have anything to worry about after all. Muslims in Dubai are just like Christians in America. You can tell this is true because city buildings and streets in both places look similar.

BTW, it is permissible to openly practice Christianity in Dubai, right? Or atheism for that matter?

Why don't you emigrate to Dubai and send us back progress reports so we can judge for ourselves?

"What does Feh mean?"

Feh! is a Yiddish expression of disgust. It is an accurate representation of my opinion of the Klan.

Many Christians (not all) look forward to that day when Jesus Christ physically returns to earth and establishes His kingdom...nothing about killing those who disagree.

Can anyone tell me what the "endgame" of the moderate Muslim is? What is the goal of their religion?

"We look particularly weak on the ideological side of the conflict - we are still in denial."

WE do? Geez..look at France..supposedly the one's with all the brains. Their "Klan" is growing day by day and getting out of control.

I doubt if it is permissible to openly practice Christianity there. Atheism has no practices, so it's not really a question.

I have no desire to go to Dubai. I lived in Turkey, courtesy of the USAF for 15 months, and don't want to go back there, either.

The point was that the Islamic world is not all a bunch of stone-age idiots. Indeed, we do a LOT of business in this country with the Islamic world. A LOT!

Yea, and that's a moderate country. They got a slap on the wrist. In Saudi they'd have been executed (beheading).

Stone age, in which sense ? They may be able to use (if not invent themselves) the modern technology, but the ideologies to which they subscribe are stone-age.

What needs to be outlawed is not Islam, but every practice associated with Islam that undermines western law and culture. And there is no moral equivalence between western traditions of law and culture and Islamic traditions of law and culture. The former tends toward freedom of thought and self-actualization, the latter toward crippling of thought and the hamstringing of the individual in the name of Allah.

It's the term 'religion' that Islam is erroneously protected by in the Constitution. IT may call itself that-but we do not have to agree

Google 'Shinto'. The question is not whether or not Islam is a religion (it is, even if it is a death cult) - the question is whether or not its practitioners are afforded 1st Amendment protections. The litmus test is fealty to the Constitution. Others have mentioned sedition - we also have treason if linked to war making powers of foreign governments based on a hostile religion.

The US has already been through this with Japan. As the heat gets turned up against the muzzies, we can be certain that the SC will be going back to the 40s as guidance.

What do you do about crazed paranoid nutcases bent on converting you, ruling you, or killing you?

At some point; Muslims will outnumber Christians and Jews in this country. Does anyone REALLY believe the Muslims will allow those minority Christians and Jews (our children and grandchildren) to practice their religious beliefs under the 1st Amendment to the Constitution?

There is a parallel of sorts in the USA that might be used as a template for action

What about Branch Dravidian? I begin to wonder if the Muslims are stockpoiling weapons in their Mosques.

One. Married, Four boys. Sorry.

No cousins available, either.

If you're 60 or so, my mom could use a gentleman caller.

LOL!
