IGIT, All that post does is make me feel worse. The realization that such a large portion of the population of the Earth is urged to make war, kill, and enslave, the rest of the world, is a dim outlook on the future. The words of the Koran, itself, justifies the retaliation of the rest of the world to destroy Islam. Such is not a pleasant thing to contemplate. With such obvious threats being made in writing, to prudent thing, in military thinking, would be to strike first. Why should we allow them to murder a significant number of our citizen, when we know they are urged to do so, when we can prevent it by striking them first. I take no satisfaction, or joy, in considering such a move, but it appears, to me, that we are left with no alternative unless we are willing to be forced into being Muslims. I, for one, am not.
