Yes Indeed Mr. Pipes you are right, the Islamist movement has many paralells with the Nazi movement, not only in its inhumane way of butchering people but also in how they think and how they are to be defeated. We have to stop fooling oursleves that the moderates found in muslim countries are the key to peace. These So called moderates in their hearts support lunatics like Osama Bin Laden because they may not believe in his cause but are burning with jealously because of the West's sucess, they hate our technology, they hate our freedom, and they hate us because they are not us. They believe that 1000 years ago they were the greatest civilization and have deeply wounded pride.

However whatever the reason these people hate us we must deal with them and we must deal with them much like we dealt with the Nazis, we must defeat them in war. Saddam is defeated and The Taliban and AL Qaeda are on the run but the terror has not ceased it has increased. Sadly it seems that America has accepted that we should live with constant terror warnings as a fact of life like Isreal. It is time for the friends of freedom, who have suffered so dearly at the hands of the Islamists to join togather and deafeat radical Islam finally in its heart in Saudi Arabia, or Berlin which ever you prefer. India, Israel, England and the U.S should go for a decisive victory over Syria, Pakistan, Iran, Egypt and Saudi Arabia. These societies are sick, broken and void of any creativity or useful endeavours except hate and they are getting worse as we speak.

Pakistan is the home of thousands of wannabe Osama Bin Ladens and the Islamists control a third of the nation!, Saudi Arabia is almost entirely controlled by the Islamists and Egypt and Iran as well. It is a laugh to say we are close to defeating the radical Islamists when we haven't scratched the surface. Many in these countries hold on to barbaric beliefs on women, homosexuals etc etc. and they are so far off what we have evolved to believe in the west when we say they are moderates because they don't believe in slitting your throat the second you do not agree with them... .

In conclusion, unfortunately it seems it will take another monumental terror attack for the U.S to wake up and truly defeat the Islamists, but by then I hope it isn;t too late, the Islamists are aggresively seeking nuclear weopens and the technology is 65 years old, so it is an enevitabilty that they will have them. We must change these societies before the Islamists get their bomb. We will only win the war on terror when we bring freedom to these bankrupt, failed terror states, and show them we mean business! The Arab and muslim world must suffer one final humiliating defeat, that is defeat at our hands before they can get, freedom, democracy etc. and then maybe be great again.
