Ms Diana West is exactly right, winning hearts and minds, doing nation building, and attempting to democratize Muslims are totally impossible unless you take the Islam out of the Muslim first. Not only that, but it’s very counter-productive for us at the same time, since if you lift Muslims up, you are in effect just making it easier and quicker for them to resume their Global Jihad intended to turn the darb al harb into the darb al Isalm.
Our defense against Global Jihadism should be limited to and concentrate only on removing those regimes and entities that still threaten us (i.e., Iran, the Saudis, Pakistan, etc.), no more and no less. Leave it to them to pick up the pieces and if they want to create Taliban style Islamic Sharia States, then so much the better for us because there is no greater path to ruinous poverty than Islamic Sharia States, and a poverty stricken country should be exactly what we are shooting for, since a poverty stricken country can never represent that great of a threat to us. Indeed, our primary priority should be to render them all into poverty ASAP and the more they do it to themselves, the better it will be for us!
Indeed, given the unlikely and unfortunate choice of having to make war between two countries, one being an Islamic Sharia State and the other a modern industrialized state, I’d pick the former over the latter any day of the week and twice on Sundays.
I agree with you. The only thing I would add is that I would not let any of them into this country, and the ones who are here would have to go home.
