We're not but we should be. They have been at war with us (non-Muslims) for almost 1400 years.

The fact that many people who are Muslim are peacefull doesn't change this. |

It's like the kid that goes to school every day, and the school bully punches him in the face and takes his lunch money.
The kid goes home, and his mother asks why he's so hungry and his shirt is ripped. He tells her. His mother says, "Be a good boy. Don't fight." But this mother (and teachers) with her head up her ass does not understand reality. It does not matter if he wants to fight or not. One of these days he either has to hand over his money and take it like a bitch, or fight. The kid has no choice. It doesn't matter if we are at war with Islam. What matters is that Islam is at war with us. We have no choice. |

I don't think "we are at war with Islam" is correct strictly speaking, but we are not at peace with Islam either. We need to understand the mindset of our enemy. Their core teachings are highly problamatic (to say the least), and supposed moderates like the Ground 0 Imam show support for the likes of Hamas. |

Islam is at war with the west and has been forever because the Koran brands all non-believers as infidels who must convert or be destroyed as stated by the prophet. Since I see no such thing as a "moderate Muslim" uprising to publicly and loudly condemn terrorism (because they are in fear of losing their head to more radical followers), then I have to draw the conclusion that we are at war with Muslims and ipso facto the best defense is an overwhelming devastating "fist of an angry god" offensive until someone surrenders and vows to live in peace. ** Harry Truman and General Curtis Lemay would have nuked the Taliban and the Waziristan border area refuges like Hiroshima and Nagasaki and never lost a moment of sleep. Now we're so politically correct that we'll set unrealistic and dangerous rules of engagement and squander precious American lives in the interest of "compassion" and "fairness" and "rights" until they finally come to slaughter us all.
The west does not want a war but it is being forced to defend itself in order to survive. Placating and appeasing Muslim's sensibilities is a dead end street as long as the Koran is their road map. The bible does not ask it's followers to destroy non-believers. ** See Japan, Germany, |
