"Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached." - Manuel II Palelologus
This is a very dark and terrible thing for westerners in general and Americans in particular to come to grips with. We are a people (half of us anyway) who are raised to understand that everyone is created in God's image, and that everyone deserves equal, decent treatment under an objective, "non-respecter of persons" model. To come across an entire sub-civilization that thinks, writes, and acts as though it was a superior, rabid predator entitled to feed on us and our children indicates that it is in need of a merciful bullet to the brain. This is quite a shock. Nobody enjoys terminating a diseased and dangerous animal. But there is no choice and it must be done.
