Islamic culture, politics, and religion — which are far more conjoined than they are in the West — cannot reconcile with the fact that the West, led by America, is the lead dog on the sled of humanity.

The demons claim that they are fighting "Western decadence".

Perhaps we should oblige them after the bombs fall, and not infect their sacred culture with such decadent, materialist items like bandages and antibiotics, created in the Sewer of Capitalism.

They are all afraid of women, any women. Why else would they mutilate, castrate, and hid the faces of their wives, children and mothers?

"Western decadence"

I think that part of the reason the liberal media (and traditionalist religious conservatives like Joe Sobran) have so much sympathy for the Arabs is that to a large extent they agree with the charge that our society is vulgar and decadent. Of course, in the case of liberals, they bear a large share of the blame for the decadence, but liberals may have an unconscious desire to be chastened by a morally superior opponent, and the Arabs may fill the psychological role of "noble savages" who will force us to finally be good. In other words, liberals secretly wanted to be spanked by a high-heel-wearing Yasser Arafat.
