"In the case of Japan, it took utter devastation, unconditional surrender, and a square one rebuilding and redesigning of their culture under occupation. Islam will require at least that.

Are we prepared to exact the price?"

We better be, that's the only way to kill the enemy (militant Islam), if we don't kill it, it will just keep coming back and cost us more in the long run.

We better be, that's the only way to kill the enemy (militant Islam), if we don't kill it, it will just keep coming back and cost us more in the long run.

I think to use the term, "militant Islam" is to risk falling into a snare of false distinction.

True Islam is militant, because Mohammed was militant. So long as Islam persists in any form, so long as Mohammed is revered, there will arise revivalists who will seek to follow his path.

The choice is simple: our civilization or theirs.
