#1 Anytime Sharia law is instituted, muslims look foolish to the entire world. How ridiculous the Taliban looked, beating women for showing a glimpse of ankle on the street. How pathetic the Saudi religious police looked, forcing young girls to burn to death because they were not dressed to come outside on the street.

Every time the fanatics gain control of the political side, they go too far--and all of the islamic world can see the fanaticism and backwardness of sharia.

#2 I forget on which other blog I read this, but a commenter likened Islam and it's followers to the Borg.

#4 So they look foolish, again; so what?

No gov't has had the guts to call a spade a spade. No "peace protesters" or "human rights activists" will take to the streets in the world's biggest cities decrying "no blood for Shariah!" Let's see if the media makes a sustained, intense worldwide campaign against the extremist Muslims.
It's going to take a nuke or a bio-terror incident involving the deaths of tens of thousands before we take a stand against the fanatics.

#5 "It's going to take a nuke or a bio-terror incident involving the deaths of tens of thousands before we take a stand against the fanatics."

I have no confidence even that will move the "why do they hate us" crowd.

#6 I have no confidence even that will move the "why do they hate us" crowd.

In the event that ever happens, it'll turn into a we-had-it-coming-to-us thing.
