Precisely. I'm a shrink. Within psychiatry I seem to have gravitated over the years to dealing with the really sick patients, and it is among my areas of expertise to know when to quit the "negotiating" and tie someone down and give them meds. You have to size up pretty quickly who can and who cannot be reasoned with, and act accordingly, or else people get hurt. People and countries who think all life's problems can be solved by negotiation or avoidance are getting some pretty hard lessons.

Show me ONE MSM article that calls these islamic murderers what they were....

There are none.

The presstitutes are crossing a very very dangerous [literally] line.

A lot true stuff except this, a major mistake by many people:

death cult that is thriving at the fringes of the Muslim world

It isn't on the fridge of the Muslim world. It is harbored, supported and spread by most of the governments in the Islamic world (and also by certain Muslim institutions in other places like in Europe and in the US). It is mainstream. This is not to say all Muslims in the Islamic world subscribe to that, though. But to say it is just a fringe is a major mistake.

Brooks is just a conservative shill.

Everybody knows it was Bush's fault.

We should by now have become used to the death cult that is thriving at the fringes of the Muslim world.

I don't buy that line of crap. At all!

It is way deeper than lunatic fringe level.

Why is it that the rest of the civilized world is outraged when one of these acts of cowardice occur. The free countries of this world unanimously condemn these acts...

And where is the outcry from the Muslim / Islamic world?

I know what I saw on the morning of 9/11. People dancing in the streets in joy. And they were not American.

Nice bumper sticker / sign.......

ISLAM - the Cult of Death.

In that abyss, if we are honest, we see the darkest corners of each of our own souls as well. That is why a Savior is not optional.

It's about the sheer pleasure of killing and dying.

Yup - and viewing non-Muslims as those who need to be eliminated.

No, it is NOT at the fringes. Not at all. It is strictly mainstream, and approved of by the normal inhabitants of Middle Eastern countries. It is supported by the Arab street.

Let me say this again. The actions are mainstream. Not on the fringe. Not exceptional.

Absolutely right on!

Wake up world Satan is alive and kicking and he must be put in his place.

Only God can do that. It's a fork in the road -- fear the Lord or else be terrified to paralysis by the spiritual forces of wickedness in the celestial realms.

And I feel this is such a time.

One small quibble. He wrote: "We should by now have become used to the death cult that is thriving at the fringes of the Muslim world."

No, it is NOT at the fringes.

Exactly. Except it's not a small quibble at all, imo. It's huge. Libs and their damned tolerance would have us tolerate our own murders. If Brooks had told the truth on this point, I doubt the NYT would keep him around.

Islamic hate in the Quran:

Qur’an 9:5 “Fight and kill the disbelievers wherever you find them, take them captive, harass them, lie in wait and ambush them using every stratagem of war.”

Bukhari:V4B52N50“The Prophet said, ‘A single endeavor of fighting in Allah’s Cause is better than the world and whatever is in it.’”

Qur’an 9:112 “The Believers fight in Allah’s Cause, they slay and are slain, kill and are killed.”

Qur’an 9:29 “Fight those who do not believe until they all surrender, paying the protective tax in submission.”

Qur’an 8:39 “Fight them until all opposition ends and all submit to Allah.”

Qur’an 8:39“So fight them until there is no more Fitnah (disbelief [non-Muslims]) and all submit to the religion of Allah alone (in the whole world).

DO NOT BELIEVE THAT THE MUSLUM RELIGION IS PEACEFUL, THAT IS HYPE. MUSLUMS WANT TO KILL US, PERIOD!
