Not to mention the gall to call other people ignorant. I mean, how much more utterly divorced from reality can the statement in bold get? Even FOX News would balk at that. (Well, okay, they probably wouldn't, but they might get a "liberal" in to say "oh no, most Muslims just want to make us all have beards and chadors and stop us dancing, not actually enslave us as such". Balance.)
So you believe that not even one Muslim calls for the deaths of non-Muslims or their enslavement?
I can give you many websites to prove otherwise and qoutes that prove otherwise. Or just read the selected speeches andwritings of Usama bin Laden or even Al Zarqawi (AZ however spent more time killing 'impure' Muslims than he did non-Muslims).
Out of all the religions, Islam has the most well organised, most deadly and most largest community of theocrats and extremists.
But I will give some credit to Islam:
Islam was formed 600 years after Christianity, so it will most likely be centuries before we see a process similar to the Enlightenment in the Islamic world, but until that time, Islam will be in conflict with it's percieved enemies.
My own solution to that is a
global truce based not on mutual respect and peace but based on a firm division of the Islamic world and the non-Muslim world.
I would actually allow and even help Al Qaida take over every Muslim nation, from Morocco to Indonesia, from Croatia to Somalia, from Khazakistan to Pakistan, and let them establish a unified pan-national Islamic Empire, a rebirth of the former Islamic Caliphate that was dissolved in 1924.
I would support the
total and complete withdrawl of all foreign troops, military and security services, of all non-Muslim companies, of all non-Muslims from such a unified Islamic State.
They can keep their oil, build their nuclear weapons, build their armies and can implement Islamic Law upon their own people without a single word of judgement from the West.
In return for such a truce and a toleration of a unified Islamic State within the realm of the historic lands and nations of the Islamic world, I would only demand that in return, such a Islamic State would take back every single Muslim resident outside of the Muslim world, that the 5 million Muslims of France, the millions living in Britain and other nations go back to their ancesteral homelands.
That upon such a return of the Muslim polulations outside the Islamic world, that all trade, diplomatic, political, military and aid contacts be severed between the Islamic State and the rest of the world.
That the Mediterranean Sea be a natural border between Europe and the Islamic State, by which our warships patrol and ensure that the division between our two worlds is secure. That out skies be patroled by our fighter jets, that our land borders be secure with huge walls and security fences.
In short, a new cold war is what I think is best. A reconstruction of a Berlin Wall type division, where our two worlds do not have to agree with each other or even support each other, but with our ICBMs aimed at each others cities, we can at least live in a cold peace, just as communism and the West used to do, tolerate each other but not understand each other, for that is not yet possible.
Give me a cold peace anyday to the hot war we now have.
