WHEN THE KILLERS COME FOR THE KIDS

THE mass murder of children revolts the human psyche. Herod sending his henchmen to massacre the infants of Bethlehem haunts the Gospels. Nothing in our time was crueler than what the Germans did to children during the Holocaust. Slaughtering the innocents violates a universal human taboo. Or a nearly universal one. Those Muslims who preach Jihad against the West decided years ago that killing Jewish or Christian children is not only acceptable, but pleasing to their god when done by "martyrs."

It isn't politically correct to say this, of course. We're supposed to pretend that Islam is a "religion of peace." All right, then: It's time for Muslims to stand up for the once-noble, nearly lost traditions of their faith and condemn what Arab and Chechen terrorists and blasphemers did in the Russian town of Beslan.

If Muslim religious leaders around the world will not publicly condemn the taking of children as hostages and their subsequent slaughter — if those "men of faith" will not issue a condemnation without reservations or caveats — then no one need pretend any longer that all religions are equally sound and moral.

So, you would love to fight a billion Muslim rather than the relatively small percentage of extremists we're fighting now?

Yeah...sounds like a brilliant plan to me.

If God wants them converted they will be so willingly in His own good time.

[SupplySider]

If Muslims hope to save any credibility in the civilized world, they had better urge their leaders to immediately issue fatwas against the demonic savages who did this.

All those who publicly issued a death sentence against Salman Rushdie for his literary musings should be asked: what is your position on those who shoot five year-olds in the back in the name of Allah?

So Coulter's solution of killing their leaders and converting them to Christianity is just so much hot wind I guess, because regardless of what she may say, His time line, not Ann's, will be implemented as far as those conversions are concerned.

This is the best stuff I have read in a long time. Your right, in God's time line. And I think that time is now & the terrorist did it themselves. They wanted to force Islam on the world & what they are doing is turning many of there own people (I don't mean the clerics mean the average little guy muslim) away from that faith. Don't you think that some muslins will look at this & know in there heart it is wrong & will walk away & look for the one true God? Also
I do agree, we must fight these people to the end.

[Luis Gonzalez]

This is a fight for the heart and soul of Islam, and Muslims are being asked to take sides. I don't know what He holds in store for them, but I can figure out what the combined military might of the nations of the West do.

If there are to be any conversions, we may be going about it wrong.

Sandoval.

My favorite trumpet player, and from my home town no less!

Yes, it was an attempt at hard-nosed humor and not at serious theology.

I've never thought of ann as a theologian....nor as a nun. :>)

Nutty, but not too sweet, with just a hint of Pine Sol. 8~)

[Casloy]

Yep, this is their absolutely last chance to take the right moral stand.
