The truth at last!

Finally, the truth stated in plain words: Jihad is offensive, totalitarian territorial expansion, conquest and subjugation of all non-Muslims.

In years past, the US had no qualms in stating the truth about Nazism or Communism. Today, why do so few lack the moral courage to acknowledge the truth that Islamic Jihadist behavior is essentially the same barbaric behavior practiced by Nazis and Communists, except it has lasted for hundreds of years longer?

Jihadist violent behavior will continue until Muslims re-evaluate the Quran's emphasis on violence and recognize that dhimmis will not capitulate to Islamic aggression but will overwhelmingly combat it!

The Israelis recognize the unrelenting violence & evil originating Islamic terrorists. How many casualities must the West absorb before they recognize the ancient dilemma forced by Islamic Jihadist behavior: "Kill or Be Killed" ?

Islamic Jihadists speak and respect the language of violence. Unless we communicate with them through this language, Jihadists will continue to attack us. Jihadist violent behavior will probably end once they have suffered enough pain and casualties to teach them their behavior is futile and will not accomplish their goal: territorial expansion, conquest and subjugation of all non-Muslims.
