We are seeing the death throws of Islam, just as we saw the death throws of German and Japanese nationalism and Soviet communism in the last century (all finished off by the good ole US of A). A religion that espouses conversion by military conquest is doomed unless it can succeed at military conquest. They may hurt us, but they are definitely going to lose militarily, so the final outcome is a foregone conclusion.
"We are seeing the death throws of Islam, just as we saw the death throws of German and Japanese nationalism and Soviet communism in the last century (all finished off by the good ole US of A)."Well, we didn't see their death throes until we acted. And it took years.
This is going to be a Crusade, if it is going to work at all. Long and bloody. And like the first Crusades, this is in response to jihad.
There was no Crusade before jihad.
And as long as there is Islam, there will be jihad.
I'm not sure folks get that yet.
