Well Stated

I fully agree that the statements you are making are in effect the "gathering storm" of what may very well be another world war. You elaborate on the singularity of purpose the Islamists have which apparently justifies their murdering anyone and possibly everyone - they condone the fact that civilian casualties are perfectly acceptable . Look at what is happening in Iraq at this very moment . Every day car bombs and suicide bombers kill many more of their fellow Muslims than anyone else. Perfectly acceptable they believe it is. I agree with you that this is barbarism, and at its worst form.

The Pope recently blundered in a recent speech and the Islamists are quick to go after him and condemn catholics, and attach the churches in the Middle East.. Muslims are condemning the pope, attaching churches, warning against catholics> They want nothing more than to escalate, not moderate.

This is only going to get worse in my opinion and so the US and the West in general need to be prepared to destroy whatever supports this Islamist fundamentalism.
