There is no way to talk with these people. There is no reconciliation possible. Living in peace and harmony is not possible. The Pope is very courageous and well-meaning, but there will be no peace with these people.
Theirs is a violent hate-filled ideology.
But Muslims fight for their God and ALL are prepared to die. They do not fight for land and thus will not surrender when they cannot succeed in acquiring control of that land physically.
They do not fight for a political ideology so cannot be convinced that another form of politics will be more successful (as we did in Iraq which is historicall a secular state)
They fight for salvation.
We can only stop the war in 1 of 2 ways; 1) by proving to them salvation comes only through Christ. (which means they must accept Christ as Lord)
or 2) by killing them and denying them salvation in death by burying them with pig parts.
Wars are brutal but burying them with pig parts is not brutal at all, to us. It is not torture or anything else...it has meaning ONLY to the enemy, so MUST be used to convice them to stop.
The British controlled the Mid East for years by using this same technique.
We are too weak now, morally. We desire they have salvation for killing us....we must change or die. Millions of them will die trying to kill us, from within our own nations.
