It is up to Islam to stop its militants if it does not it will suffer their fate for its passivity.

I am no great defender of Islam.. I personally believe ISLAM at its core is indeed EVIL.. it is a religion founded on lies, hatred and spread and based upon death and war.

Now, with that said, I DO NOT believe that all Muslims are evil people... no more than all Russian's were evil people or all people living in NAZI Germany were evil people.... THere is no debat though that Communism and Naziism are and were EVIL.

The issue as I see it with Islam is that they are like the Gangs in the inner city... the radicals are so extreme and vicious that no one of decency can stand up to them without risk not only being killed, but having their families killed as well.

The Gangs and the inner city neighborhoods are the best analogy I can think of. However even that analogy is not appropriate enough, because even in the ravage inner city gang infested neighborhoods the Police are still at least TRYING to bring the thugs down, even though the have terrorised the general population. In many Islamic parts of the world, the islamofacists run rampant like the inner city gangs, but there, they don't even have any police trying to keep order.... there is not even a TOKEN attempt at decency... so not only are the people living there living under tyranny and fear of these thugs, they don't even have a hope at all of seeing it change.

I agree that ISLAM needs to clean its house if it wishes to survive and not wind up being obliterated by force... however I don't honestly see any internal or even external system in most Islamic nations that are going to help that occur. This means, its going to be up to the west once again to clean up these messes... and hopefully once they are cleaned up these nations and peoples will recognize what brought them to this sorry state and never let it happen again....
