I would like to see the elements of Jihadism put up against Sun Tsu's "Art of War".

Jihad: "The children of the kindergarten are the holy martyrs of tomorrow."

I have a better idea for a reply to this one:
"I am a soldier, so my son can be a farmer, so his son can be a poet."
- A Founding Father (Madison, maybe?)

"The object of war is not to die for your country
but to make the other bastard die for his."
- Gen. George S. Patton

The Colin Powell Corollary:

The paradigm of war is not to die for
your country, or to make your enemy
die for his.  It is to get someone else
to die for your country.

Good rendition of the primary reason why the Arabs get their arses kicked all over the place every time they encounter a Western army, namely that they are as dumb as rocks.

Jihad:

"I will make my body a bomb that will blast the flesh of Zionists, the sons of pigs and monkeys. I will tear their bodies into little pieces and cause them more pain than they will ever know."

Gee, maybe the Israelis can convince PETA to protest this incitement of cruelty to animals. Nah, then it would require the PETA imbeciles to take a consistent position.

"There's many who looks on war as all glory, but boys, it's all hell." - Gen. William T. Sherman

I like this Sherman quote better:

"War is cruelty and you cannot refine it; the more terrible it is, the sooner it will be over."
