All out war

To us in the West, we are fighting against what we consider to be a dangerous, primitive, and misinformed ideology, to the Jihadists, they are fighting a war to exterminate us and in which no weapon is too vile or immoral.

But because we in the West are raised to respect the rights of others and to try to reach a compromise with our enemies, we are limited in terms of our tactics.

The Islamic Jihadists know no such limits, and lies, half truths, misquotations, and outright fabrication of quotations are tactics which are entirely acceptable to them, as acceptable as suicide bombings, and the cold blooded murder of non Moslem men, women and children. Or for that matter, even Moslems who disagree with them.

I must congratulate Doctor Pipes on his courage in confronting these truly terrible people, the Islamic fundamentalists.
