If some sort of public statement had been proferred stating that the goal of Saudi's flavor of Islam was not to create a theocracy that will force nonmuslims to submit to Sharia, I'd be much less hawkish about Iraq and beyond...The ball has been in the Imams' court for an entire year...Has ANYONE seen a repudiation of the stated goal of Islam to produce a Caliphate under Sharia Law WHEREVER Muslims live and work??? Not a rhetorical question...Is there such a statement?
If there ever WERE any such statement against the Muslim goal of Caliphate/Sharia law, you can bet the authors are (choose one):
The Islamonazis are a tighter group than the Cosa Nostra or even Union Corse ever DREAMED of. The penalties for speaking out against Islamic-named excesses and atrocities are severe. Whole families can be wiped out or sold into slavery (Islam is peace, remember). Look at what happens to suspected "collaborators with Israel" in the Palestinian camps and villages.
But I suppose we're supposed to try to "understand the cultural differences", according to those oh-so-wise pundits at ABCCBSNBCCNN. Well, the only way the Islamists draw their map of the world is like thus: Countries they control are marked "Dar es Salaam", or Abode of Peace. Countries they don't control (like the USA) are marked "Dar al Harb", or Abode of War. For anyone with half a brain, that should explain their motives just fine. You know and I know, but what will it take to convince the sheeple?
