Re: What would You have done???
Rolmops has a handle on what Islam really is. Unfortunately, there is a lot of misinformation regarding a kinder, gentler Islam. It isnt! What we now are experiencing in the world today is the true Islamic faith with its principals having access to technology.<br /><br />The problem did not start with 9/11. Italy has been experiencing Islamic violence since the 80s. I believe the Islamic advantage was borne when Saudi Arabia illegally seize the oil fields and technology owned by American oil interests in the late 60s. They immediately formed OPEC, jacked the price of crude (reference the oil embargo of the early 70s), realized an influx of wealth, acquired technology
and the war was on.<br /><br />To keep this issue in perspective, consider the Islamic doctrine. Either you convert or you are to be killed. It is plain, simple and clearly stated. There is nothing to interpret. There is only the choice of direct implementation or passive suppression to further a diplomatic co-existence for the time being. The doctrine of annihilation of all non-Islamic belief is and always will be there.<br /><br />What we are experiencing is a literal implementation of the Islamic doctrine by its faithful, thru violence as directed by that same doctrine. It is not a fanatic belief that spread throughout the world. It is a collection of the Islamic faithful that have always been there without a means to fulfill their duty until now. With bank accounts and the acquisition of technology, they are now able to communicate and share strategies on the furthering of their belief.<br /><br />While the passive Islamic believers may not directly involve themselves in the violence, neither will they self-police those that do. To do that, they must abandon their core belief, the Islamic doctrine. Isnt going to happen. Even if you were to remove the immediate violent element from the Islamic faith, there will always be the potential for its resurrection. Somewhere, someday, someone that fully embraces the Islamic faith is going to pick it up, see that we are not living a life a la Mohammad, just as Bin Laden did, and the violence will all start again.<br /><br />I agree with SoulWinner regarding the removal of any heinous threat to peaceful co-existence of all people. Hence the statement,
to secure a future for our children and ourselves
Islam and all of its artifacts must be removed from the face of the planet, forever. If even a single copy of that doctrine is allowed to exist, somewhere, someday, someone that fully embraces the Islamic faith is going to pick it up and realize that we are not living a life a la Mohammad,

He has studied the religion for over 10-years and met face-to-face with many of its principals.<br /><br /> "According to Allah the most vile of creatures is a peace-loving Muslim," - Islamic terror expert Craig Winn.
