I think that's paranoid. Maybe the French are doing the same thing and all their cowardice is merely a diversion.

Perhaps. Time will tell.

"My guess is that what you see in Israel today is what we will see in our cities here in the future. But they are waiting for the right time. If the terrorism starts now, it will be self-defeating because there aren't enough of them yet."

Do you have any idea the sheer size of the conspiracy you are implying here?

Yes, I do. Remember the Nazi conspiracy to take over the world? Or the Japanese/Shinto one? Devout Islam intends with all its heart and soul to do the same at ANY cost.

I guess you would have to visualize yourself in the mind of such a zealot to understand. Here ya go: Imagine if Jesus had said in the NT, "No one gets to my Father in Heaven except those who kill the unbelievers in my name." Imagine if the NT He said, "And I tell you verily, that unless you show the unbelievers no mercy, nor shall my Father in heaven show you eternal life". You get the idea. Try it.

I see your point, and I suppose it would be possible to reduce the conspiracy to just religious leaders.. or that it might exist but not even be a conscious, deliberate thing at this point.

I still don't think it's wise to arbitrarily start tossing people out though.

PS: I really think we are just going to have to not agree on this.
