<Islamo-whackos want to impose their religion on us>

No, that is not true. In Bin Laden's statements, and in the statements of all the other leaders of militant Islam, they have never said they want to impose their culture on us. Their movement is essentially defensive. They see an attack (cultural, military, economic) on the Muslim heartland, and they are using the methods that will work, to expel our soldiers from Saudi Arabia, and close down schools for girls in Afghanistan. Not in London or Los Angeles (except within the growing Muslim communities there). The only nation that has a non-Muslim population, that they aspire to control, is Israel. Well, maybe if France keeps on letting in Muslim immigrants, someday they'll want Sharia in Paris.

<How do you propose to do this?>
