#2 "We know that Al Qaeda cannot be appeased, because if they could, the French would have appeased them by now."

Ouch.

#3 They stand for modernity, religious and sexual toleration, capitalism, diversity, women's rights, representative institutions in a word, the future. This world cannot coexist with strict, public implementation of Islamic sharia law, let alone an all-powerful caliphate.

Nice to see someone finally point this out. Now, when will people come to realize that shari'a law must be banned in all Western nations? Shari'a and the caliphate are inseparable. Banning shari'a will be a vital first step towards eliminating Islam in Western lands and crippling Muslim visions of a global caliphate.

Those who still view this struggle as a mere police action against uncoordinated criminal elements, rather than as an existential war for the survival of their way of life, are blinding themselves to reality.

This needs to be tattooed across the forehead of every Western politician. None of them seem to appreciate this fact and their lack of comprehension exponentially increases the butcher's bill with each passing year.
