And I hope I am proven right.

I have no interest in eradicating Islam from the face of the earth. But I'm prepared to support such an action if I am wrong.

Thanks for the reasoned debate.

I don't want to make an enemy of all Muslims either. But I think Islam is inherently dangerous in a way, and to an extent, that is unique.

Short term, I think we have to do everything we can to marginalize Islamic Jihadists. That will take all our will. Longterm? We have to keep up the short term goal of marginalizing Islam, perpetually. In America, we should return to the melting pot idea, and do away with hyphenated Americans. It's a cultural battle, but I don't see any alternative to fighting it. Absolutely NO to Sharia in America. In fact, no country should have Sharia. Freedom of religion is a Universal idea that we should advocate (at least) worldwide.

I'm currently reading Melanie Phillips' Londonistan, and am finding it very disturbing. I had no idea how far the UK had gone in catering to these people. Even farther than the US has gone. It's very scary, and very much worth reading.
