#1 Western civilization isnt at war with terrorism any more than it is at war with grenades.

Western civilization is at war with militant Islam, which dominates Muslim communities all over the world. Militant Islam isn't a tiny minority of otherwise goodhearted Muslims. Its a dominant strain of evil that runs rampant in a population of well over 1 billion.

There are plenty of Islamists who are happy in their misery, believing that their suffering is part and parcel of a correct religious system. Those people direct their anger outward, targeting unbelievers.

They hate us because we are infidels. They kill us because we refuse to surrender to them.

Stop telling us that Islam is a religion of peace. If it is, prove it through action.

#2 So enough. No more empty talk. No more idle promises. No more happy ignorance, half measures, or appeasement-minded platitudes.

So ... he's opposed to Obama's foreign policy platform.

#3 OldSpook they kill us because we are living proof that following Islam does not create a paradise.

#4 Bingo. Bulls-eye. BAM! This guy nails it.

The simple fact is that tolerating the intolerate has proven itself intolerable.

Time after time after time, these radical islamists prove beyond any doubt that they have absolutely no interest in joining the modern world, let alone participating in it. In fact, they have negative interest in the sense that they want to turn the clock back on modernity, tolerance, and personal freedom.

It is starting to become clear, even for those who insist on viewing things through fuzzy lenses, that anyone who attempts to rationalize the behavior of these barbarians is part of the problem (Deepak Chopra, et al).

#5 Enough with the myths.

The KSM Fives announced desire for martyrdom instantly caused the collective sphincter constriction in handwringers and thoughtful chin-strokers alike. Immediately, some cautioned that killing these sub-humans would only facilitate their visions of virgins. Others have commented that the United States is ill prepared for the jihadi propaganda that may follow their unhindered demise. Whether a more just sentence is that their end days are spent rotting in a Super-Max cell or with a rope around their neck is a separate debate. Regardless of the US actions (Or in spite of), its their death-cult that will confirm or deny their martyr status. Keep in mind, many of the Mooselimbs open questions regarding Yassir Arafats istishaad have been blunted by the blood poison by assassin theory.

#6 I think that evangilism has a place among the the Moslem masses. Many of them can turn their backs on the radical hate if given a chance. As it is now those who don't want to live the hate mantra have few choices.
