Well said, the sooner the west gets serious about this the better and I mean SERIOUS. Radical Islam is no better than Nazism or Communism except they veil their intent in the cloak of religion. Moslems in the west need to declare their allegiance to our nations and line up to fight this or they will be no better than the nazi sympathisers, collaborators or fifth columnists of earlier times. We need to destroy this evil, the only way we know how, appeasement is NOT an option.

"Radical Islam is no better than Nazism or Communism except they veil their intent in the cloak of religion."
Bush spoke directly to this fact, before the joint congressional session, 20 Sep. 2001.
The issue is defining the line between all of Islam, versus "radical islam."
At this point, I believe Mr. Putin has made the clearest remarks, on the topic. It is ironic that our former arch enemy, may become our close partner--in this war I truly hope we are together.
Sadly, I must say that some awful attacks in Europe would serve the overall war, since they need some reality-based experiences. They may feel they are imune, but I doubt they are.
As to the "line" mentioned above, I say "trust but verify." I believe we have a few (thousand?) dangerous muslims, sleeping in our midst.
