In The Suicide of Reason I write that in the contemporary West fanatics like Abdul Rashid like Ghazi and his followers have become "incomprehensibly alien to us. They do not conform to our expectation of normal human behavior; indeed, they shatter all such expectations. They fill us with panic and anxiety.... To relieve this panic and anxiety we must either ignore them or else force them to fit into a category of human action with which we do feel comfortable—all in an effort to make their uncanniness less threatening to our comfortable vision of the world."

Fortunately, although it fills many of us with fear and anxiety, it does not do so to all of us. Certainly not to me.
After the first few years of digging into this so-called religion, contempt and disdain pretty much describes my feeling for islam, and everything associated with it. Thirty years of continuing learning has not revealed a single reason to attenuate those feelings.

There is only one way to deal with fanatics — kill them before they kill you. Negotiation is a waste of time. Also you must cut off their funding. Since we took out Sadaam, there have been no suicide bombings in Israel. Sadaam had been giving suicide bombers’ families $25,000 each.
