#1 The quality of your argument is only important if you want to win by persuasion.

Persuasion only works if there are negotiable terms. Islam's goals are non-negotiable, so persuasion is of absolutely no use. Yet, the West especially the EU continues to pretend that nuanced discussion and bargaining will achieve something.

When your enemy is dead set on taking over the entire world, only death serves as sufficient deterrent to such intentions. We are not dealing with a cerebrally hypertrophied cartoon lab mouse; we are in confrontation with people who eagerly seek nuclear weapons to use against us.

Thats the advantage of madness as a strategy. If one party to the dispute forswears sanity, then the obligation is on the other to be sane for both of them.

And it is through this exact strategy that Islam has managed to foist its housecleaning duties upon the West. Our sanity seemingly forbids the logical response to such shirking. Namely, to begin the wholesale attrition of our Islamic foe until they start assuming their fair share in the task of fighting jihadism.

Should they be so unwise as to neglect this obligation, we must not and cannot be so insane as to attempt what they themselves refuse. Only Islam and Muslims possess the ability to winnow through their own ranks and eject the radicals. We might as well try to sift out only the gray colored grains of sand from an entire beach sooner than cull Islam's jihadists.

If Islam forswears sanity, we must foreswear mercy. Such benign actions are only deserved by those who share a common interest in humanity's peaceful coexistence. Islam seeks nothing of the sort and deserves nothing of the sort in return.

#2 As a friend of mine used to say: you don't argue with a rabid dog, you shoot it.

#3 Spot,
That's a winner. It describes the argument elegantly and precisely. Nothing more need be said.

#4 You wanna know how to get Capone? They pull a knife, you pull a gun. He sends one of yours to the hospital, you send one of his to the morgue. *That's* the *Chicago* way!

#5 By which I mean we have to stop relying on our governments to protect us. They have demonstrated they will not do so.

They kill a nun. Ten imams are killed. They desecrate a church. Ten mosques are burned. I am not advocating this, of course, because I assume it is illegal to do so. But I am stating a fact about the conclusions our own irrational population will make if the state puppets of our simpering elites no longer wish to defend themselves. The Swedes may allow their daughters to be raped. I cannot see Americans allowing it. And as for Canadians... we worship order. The Germans called our troops the Allies' SS because we were so thorough once we rolled up our sleeves.

The time is coming.

#6 The time is coming where the tipping point is reached. Either for the west doing a full surrender, or accepting the fact that total war must be waged on Islam.
