But demonization of muslims has no protective effect either, it has been going on constantly in America for a long time and has taken a quantum leap with the attack of the liars on the Towers on Tuesday 9/11. It hasn't worked in the past, it won't work now. We are not the problem.

Well, of course. "we" being all those Muslims who haven't, over the centuries, been militarily xenophobic. And that's one reason my church has been standing watch outside a neighborhood mosque to show the necessity of making distinctions. That said, it's also incumbent on those Muslims unambiguously to make themselves known and take their place of danger with everyone else in their stand against the Usamas of the world.

I think human intelligence is the solution. That is a large part of the solution, but no panacea. We cannot just train agents capable of entering key Madrassas for the years and years long road to the terrorist inner circles. That is not realistic.

If 9-11 doesn't kill Bush's cockamaymee National Missile Defense I don't know what will. Why do you think that if Moslem fanatics come to power in a nation and "inherit" missiles and nuclear weapons they will not use them? M.A.D. will not work against insane death cultist Wahhabists who are eager to kill and be killed, the more the better, to advance their twisted vision.

The billions saved should go into the most effective form of intelligence gathering there is - on the ground intelligence.That should be done regardless, independent of NMD. The problem is not monetary, it is cultural and ethical. Putting spies among insane murderers means that we will have to approve of the actions of our spies earning trust by committing the murder of innocents. That is a big hurdle which lots of money cannot overcome.

Tell the Europeans not to worry about Pakistani nuclear tipped missiles in the hands of Wahhabist fanatics.

They tolearted it as long as a tax was paid to them. This was true of many Sunni leaders but not of the shiites. to them even the "people of the book" are infidels.

Thanks for your time and thoughts, you have given me a lot to chew on.

REMINDER EVERYONE: read these words again and never, ever forget!

On that basis, and in compliance with God's order, we issue the following fatwa to all Muslims: The ruling to kill the Americans and their allies -- civilians and military -- is an individual duty for every Muslim who can do it in any country in which it is possible to do it, in order to liberate the al-Aqsa Mosque and the holy mosque [Mecca] from their grip, and in order for their armies to move out of all the lands of Islam, defeated and unable to threaten any Muslim. This is in accordance with the words of Almighty God, "and fight the pagans all together as they fight you all together," and "fight them until there is no more tumult or oppression, and there prevail justice and faith in God."

This is in addition to the words of Almighty God: "And why should ye not fight in the cause of God and of those who, being weak, are ill-treated (and oppressed)? -- women and children, whose cry is: 'Our Lord, rescue us from this town, whose people are oppressors; and raise for us from thee one who will help!'"

We -- with God's help -- call on every Muslim who believes in God and wishes to be rewarded to comply with God's order to kill the Americans and plunder their money wherever and whenever they find it. We also call on Muslim ulema, leaders, youths, and soldiers to launch the raid on Satan's U.S. troops and the devil's supporters allying with them, and to displace those who are behind them so that they may learn a lesson.
