Part of the reason we are losing, Newt is that you and people like you see the war with Islam as having started 35 years ago with the Iranian hostage assault.
Radical Islam has been at war with the non-Radical Islam world for about a hundred years. Before that, they tried to “evolve” the nations they dwelled within to accept Islam.
It was after the Bolshevik revolution that that the Radical Islamists came to accept that the only way they could win was through massive violence and holding the nations of the world in complete terror at the point of a sword or gun.
They won’t succeed in the end, but this has given them the impetus to attack the world for a hundred years.
Lothrop Stoddard wrote accurately and prophetically about this in the 1920’s in “The New World of Islam.” It’s a shame that people today anachronistically accuse him of being some sort of white supremacist when much of what he wrote about at the time was in accordance with popular cultural studies.
Newt, you can’t win a war by just seeing what the enemy is doing to you. You have to understand what is driving them and how deeply that drive is rooted.
It is only then can you make the moral decision that, if they are not going to coexist, then we have a right to terminate their existence until they are either all gone or they accept our terms of peace.
But we know how the Islamofascists use truces as strategic retreats to regroup. So I think the civilized world needs to wake up and realize that, for the good of humanity, it is time to completely eradicate Radical Islam from the planet.
There is no such thing as Radical Islam, nor moderate Islam...there is only Islam.
It is incompatible with humanity and any sort of civilization. It is barbarity in it’s most base form sanctioned by an illiterate warlord pederast, pedophile, rapist, megalomaniac.
