I would like to take all the Muslims and turn them into Mall-Rat, DVD-Watching, Big Mac-Loving, Starbucks-Sucking atheists. But that ain't gonna happen.

However, you have to give them credit for remembering Greek and Egyptian science for the moronic Christians who deliberately erased it. If they hadn't, the Renaissance would have come much later.

On the other hand, Islam is now the enemy. If you doubt it, you are living in an irresponsible, politically correct fog. "God" provides no barrier to criticism of groups which are demonstrably anti-social and violent.

Screw the Muslims' presumed immunity to attack on the basis of the idea that all religions are "good."

Stupid is as stupid does. And evil is as evil does.

Every nation that is dominated by Islam is full of people who cannot think rationally, and are full of reflexive, unquestioning anti-semitism and anti-Americanism.

Expell all "guests" from the Middle East.

Treat Middle-Eastern travellers the same way El-Al does at airports.

Stop pretending that snipers and shoe-bombers and ticket-counter shooters aren't TERRORISTS. If we are too damn P.C. to identify the enemy, we will lose this war.

BTW, JQW is wrong about Cromwell and the Catholics. EVERYTHING I've ever read suggests that Cromwell's protestant rule was theocratic and repressive in the extreme. Which is why James II came to power. At which point the bars all re-opened, and the people partied their butts off for years.

Cromwell led the first successful popular reveolution in history and, though a Puritan, was not theocrat. You would do well to read his biography, The Lord Protector, by Antonia Fraser.
