Most of you think that a military solution will solve Radical Islam.

You got to understand their mindset, THEY WANT TO DIE. They view it as an honor to be a Martyr. For every 1 you kill another 10 in the Middle East decides to join the terrorists. There are over a Billion Muslims in the world you simply cannot kill them all, there are too many.

I am not saying we should give them a pass, but military action will never defeat terrorism by itself, it never has in the past. Lets not delude ourselves to think anything will change. Military action should be used to contain terrorism. While things like education, properity, and freedom should be what strikes the final blow.

But it's only 72..... and they're only virgins once.... and they will be there for an eternity. The maths doesn't work for me.

You can kill enough to scare the rest shitless.

Lets get our alternate fuel source and pull out of the regeion, and once the oil money stops comeing in muslims will go back to doing what they do best. Throwing rocks and killing each other.

Maybe eventually theyll realize it isnt the 6th century anymore and the rest of the worlds relegions have matured into something relatively peaceful.

(I will be glad to grant their wish).

(All this means is that I will have to lay in one h*ll of a supply of bullets, grenades, rockets and other deadly weapons).

There are over a Billion Muslims in the world you simply cannot kill them all, there are too many.
(All this means is that I will have to enlist an Army that feels as I do and ensure they hae access tho the same supply of weapons that I do).

(While idiots like the UN sit around with their thumbs up their arses, more people will die ... personally I would rather it were Radical Islamisits wouldn't you? Doing nothing is to surrender ... might as well place your head on the chopping block and let them cut it off).

Praise the lord ... and pass the ammunition.

I am locked and loaded and ready to answer a Radical Islamisist's prayers.

Mushroom cloud.........

The point is, in this day and age now matter what the cause or the justification. Muslims will always react angryily if Westerners kill Muslims. They view it as an attack on Islam, which is blastphemous to them. All we are doing is making the war on terror last longer.

And that sentiment is growing. Why keeping pour fuel to that fire?

Its like gardening, you can cut down weeds, but thell still grow back, and faster than the last time. You need to rip out weeds from the roots.

That hasnt worked so far, quite the opposite I'd say. Right now they are far more pissed off then scared. Time to try something else...

The mushroom thing comes to mind ... but ... then we'd have the rest of the world pissed at us.

if the can't take a joke.

About learning from history. There were nine crusades (not counting the children's crusade) and only one was remotly succesfull. So going down that path might not be the best of idea's.

Recently there was an article on contemporary terrorism which linked this to a psychological frame of mind. It was written by a PhD which said that the current day terrorist (and I am not talking about kids throwing rocks but flying planes into buildings) does this out of some sort of jealousy. He can't cope with the fact that all his luxury goods are made in Germany, America, China and so forth. This stirs his anger enough to want to destroy them. She could explain it a lot better, but it explains why the cadre is well educated and well-to-do financially. I'll see if I can find the author and her article in English.
