In fanatical Islam's eyes we are all Kafirs

North Americans must recognize that they have allowed a lethal contagion to enter their land. We have over 7 million Moslems residing on our shores many of whom do not share our cultural, political, and human rights values. We only have to look across the ocean to Marseilles to see the future. This once great city has been turned into a seething cauldron of anti-western Islamic fundamentalism.

Rather than chasing down terrorists in far-flung areas of the world like Afghanistan, our leaders should concentrate on removing the menace from the Western Hemisphere. The reality is that unless our governments expel all illegal immigrants from Islamic nations along with those who have been granted citizenship and who spout vile anti-western sentiments we will shortly become another Chechnya.

As the continuing terrorist attacks on western civilians demonstrates our Islamic enemy considers no one to be a non-combatant. In fanatical Islam's eyes we are all Kafirs who must buy into their distorted medieval worldview or die. If we fail to act in determined manner to rid ourselves of their presence through peaceful means, we may have to use their own tactics against them. If our governments refuse to take lead, then in the interest of self-defense, it is conceivable that Islamic cultural centers, Mosques, schools, and neighborhoods will become legitimate targets.
