Rudy, and Romney have both dissed Islamic leaders in public, so I suppose that is a step in the right direction.

Could it be that the ruthless SOB we need to fight the Islamic Cults will come from Islam itself, the ME, or Europe?

That leader could be anywhere, its civilized citizens who have to decide what kind of man they want, find him, and put him into power.
