Animals. Of course, it was beyond the pale that the U.S. and coalition forces engage in military activity against the Taliban during Ramadan, but perfectly acceptable for arabs to start wars and murder civilians during Jewish holy periods.

We are going out of our way to declare that the fight against terrorism isn't a fight against Islam. Well, the terrorists enjoy defiling the sanctity of the Jewish faith, so maybe it's time to start defiling the faith of the terrorists, as that's clearly where they are getting their motivation. I can't believe I wrote that but sadly that's where my attitude is going.

The Israelis once dropped live pigs on a supposedly secret Saudi airbase in western S.A. This sent the message that "we know what you're doing," pissed off the Wahabis, and avoided the necessity for actual hostilities, all at the same time.

Regretfully, avoiding hostilities is neither in the cards nor wise at present. Israel and we are dealing with people who are emboldened by the typical Western response to crisis, which is to be conciliatory. They view it as weakness, not being reasonable. So, therefore, I think that Israel needs to defile every Moslem holy site in their control with pig feces - but not yet the Dome of the Crock. Save that for a bit later, if the Pallies don't start acting in a civilized manner - quickly.

I, too, regret saying things like this (generally being a very tolerant person), but this IS a clash of civilizations. May the strongest survive.
