#1 "We welcome Islam as a religion of peace"

He lost me after that bullshit sentence. What's next, calling Charles Mason's kiddies, the cult of peace? WTF.

#2 The President must go to the United Nations General Assembly, before all the world's cameras, and give a speech, the essence of which should be this:
Islam.............F.O.A.D.

I have just signed legislation that will outlaw ~~Russia~~ Islam forever. We begin bombing in five minutes.

#5 "It is an immutable law of history that wars begin when one country or alliance wants war"

Not quite. War results when two parties want control over the same people or place, and they don't know for sure which one would win. It is a matter of uncertainty and communication. And the uncertainty part is of WILL, since the material of war is relatively easily predicted.
The WILL to win is created by communication/leadership. The West lacks sufficient leadership to generate the necessary WILL, and that lack is being communicated very clearly to our enemy.
Why is the West so apathetic, so blind? I suspect it is because to so many 'it's all about me'; that there is no faith in a personal future and thus no regard for any moral or ethical 'absolutes'. Islam does not have this problem.

#6 This is exactly what the Pope is arguing for in his reciprocity speeches. Maybe not as non-P.C. or succinct, but the same message.

I do wish that President Bush would use the 'bully pulpit' more, a'la Reagan. I know he has in the past, and we're better off for it, and he has used VERY direct language before too. Of course, I also realize that part of this equation is the MSM who seem to be stuck on ~~stupid~~ Vietnam era reporting. I won't be a handwringer yet on the Prez, for I've gotta believe that when he says "We will NOT allow Iran to get nuclear weapons," he means it. His track record proves that.

And, classer, forgive me, but what is FOAD? I know I've seen it before, but maybe not spelled out. Is there a page within the 'burg here explaining all of our internet shorthand. Most of the other acronyms I understand but haven't figured out FOAD (I think I know the first two letters).

#8 Thanks, MacNails. And, QED? Sorry, last one I promise, lol!

#9 QED stands for "quod est demonstrandum" which means `which has been shown'.

Usually placed at the end of a mathmatical proof.

#12 America, Europe, Israel, want peace, and we are busy trying to convince ourselves that the Muslims of Iran and Syria and the Palestinian peoples, at least the activist Muslims who matter, do too. But they don't. They want war, Jihad, conquest, empire, supremacy. This is no secret. It doesn't require a Masters degree in diplomacy, or years of service in the State Department, to see. It isn't rocket science. One needs only to take their word for it. They aren't at all bashful or shy about saying so, we need only assume they mean what they say. Death to Israel. Death to the West. Death to America.

Peace in our time = Hudna

As I have said repeatedly, we must take these bastards at their word. They spout about doing us great harm. Believe them and act upon that belief. Our superior weapons are useless without the will to deploy them and the determination to survive.

Our world is being thrown into the slavering jaws of a ravenous beast solely because no one in power can bring themselves to shoot the damn thing.

He lost me after that bullshit sentence.

Likewise, Icerigger. Islam has NOTHING to do with peace and continuing to utter such flagrant horseshit only emboldens our enemies with the notion that they have successfully pulled the wool over our eyes. The sooner Islam is stripped of its status as a religion, the quicker we can go about dismantling it part and parcel.

WE ARE TOTALLY INSANE IN THINKING THAT ISLAM IS NOT ATTEMPTING TO DO THE EXACT SAME THING TO ALL OTHER RELIGIONS AND WESTERN CULTURE IN GENERAL.

Islam must be put on notice that all further atrocities will be met with overwhelmingly disproportionate retaliation, be it conventional or nuclear matters not. Another spate of train or nightclub bombings must see an entire MME (Muslim Middle East) city reduced to ashes.

Islam has been allowed to act without being held to any serious consequences. The threat of spreading democracy throughout the MME would be all well and fine if we had SEVERAL DECADES TO ACHIEVE SAME. We have no such luxury. The clock is ticking down to midnight and our leaders are fiddling about with individual moral purity while Rome burns.

The civilized world must inform Islam that their fate is in their own hands. Turn those hands to war and be rewarded with the same in much greater measure. Islam must be placed under such gigantic threat whereby it finally begins to clean its own house out of sheer survival. Anything less will be used as a hudna to accumulate the strength needed for further assaults upon our freedom.

#15 We must regain our ethical basis --- the Golden Rule, Zenster.

In the days before weapons of mass destruction, it was all right to do unto others as you would have them do unto you. Those days are long gone. Now, the rule of survival is:

Do unto others before they do unto you.

#16 "We must regain our ethical basis"

I agree, destroy the enemy before they kill our families. Or didn't you get the koran's "convert or kill them all" motto? Cause if that doesn't bother you then pack up and move to mecca now before we set it aglow.

Ranting off. Let's get something straight here liberal, Islam's call for violence and enslavement of kafirs applies to you too.

Tghe way I was taught it Zenster
"Do into others as they would do into you. But do it first."

#19 "Do into others as they would do into you. But do it first."

Have you ever heard of "pay forward"? Yes, amongst those who are worthy, you always give the benefit of the doubt first.

Against those who have declared open war against you, give them the back of your hand if not a "free launch". Remember, there is no such thing as a "free launch".
