We are at war, da$$it!

I'm a great fan of Rantburg, an interactive website that discusses daily happenings in the global war against islamic terrorism. I've been reading it since at least 2003, and it's never been boring. One thing the "locals" know for sure is that we are at war with a large percentage of the world's muslim population, not because we want to be, but because we have been persistently attacked by factions among that population.

This is not a new war. It's been going on ever since the end of World War I, when Great Britain and France broke up the old Ottoman Empire into a dozen or more quasi-independent nations. The discovery of oil in the Arabian peninsula and surrounding areas have given the muslims the funding to engage more seriously in a war against the rest of the world. Islam is a death cult, and has no qualms about killing its own members or anyone else to further its cause - world domination. Islam is incompatible with individual freedom, personal choice, and the equality of the individual. Islam supposedly means "submission" - it's more like "total surrender".

The Western world has been fighting against these muslim extremists with both hands tied behind them and one foot in a bucket. It's time to stop. It's time to acknowledge exactly what islam is, the threat it represents, and the ways it's used to attack our freedoms. It's also time to fight back - in every way possible. We have no right to totally destroy another people - unless they refuse to acknowledge our freedom to live as we choose. Islam accepts no such rights on our behalf, and must be crushed. The sooner we quit playing games and get on with it, the fewer people will die at the hands of islamic extremists.
