No satire here! Islam is what we are at war with!
While I have read many postings on how we ‘think’ islam is not compatible with our political structure here is an islamic point of view the tells muslims it is not. Again I am faced with the thought that if a religion is in direct violation of the Constitutional Rights of the people does it hold the Right as a religion?

In Vietnam, and in Iraq, when we played at the Vietcongs/AlQaeda's game of tit for tat we could keep them at bay, but never turn the corner.
Unless Islam rises as one nation, raises a standing army, and starts grabbing territory they can never hope to batter the west into submission.
Yes they may be capable of horrible acts of violence including the deployment of weapons of mass destruction, and yes we need to do what we can to protect ourselves against such possibilities.
But nowhere do I see that a true Caliphate is being created, or an Islamic standing army, or any real attempt to grab and hold land.
Sending hoardes of Muslim immigrants into Western Europe may seem like a good strategy at first, but what is to prevent the Muslims from going native and becoming addicted to internet porn and fried pork before the call for war is made?
Afghanistan (along with NW Pakistan) may not be the only beachhead in the current war on terror, but it is a significant one that needs to be dealt with.
If our success in Iraq allows us to spare a few more troops to go to that region then I say that it is a very good thing to do. And if Obama kinda sort agrees with that sentiment then I agree with him on at least one thing.
