the operative function so far in this war on terror has been 'no good deed goes unpunished' wrt our losses and casualties

better to be feared than loved....

Why? the jihadis have condemned 95% of the Muslim population as impure. They warn that they will burn in hell with the Zionists and Jews. The propoganda is straight from 8th grade textbooks. The Salafi attitude of self righteous arrogance is exactly what needs to be revealed.

The press is too uneducated to do anything except to report the headlines. They cannot begin to convey the truth behind the violence in the ME because they lack the education to identify one Muslim group from the next. To their credit, they are beginning to differentiate the Shi'a and Kurds from the radical insurgents. I have yet to witness a single news article that portrays the jihadis as Salafi or Wahhabi extremists. Of course, there are many good blogs, interviews, and educational insights about the influence of the extremists.

People need to stop accepting this unconditional threat by the terrorists that they should be left alone. They will destroy the entire Muslim world and take down everyone with it. The liberals and the conservatives need to unify for a change and say that religious supremists will not be tolerated in any part of the world. We will not let them impose an iron fisted rule over the free will of the people. We will not let them rape, murder, kidnap, and kill the innocent Muslims in the ME that do not share their fundamental Wahhab attitude. We will not let them spread their hatred to NYC, Spain, and London with smug attitudes of success.

Islam has to start turning over the bad guys. Saudi Arabia has captured 23 of the top 25 fugitives. They just listed another list of 35 most wanted. Why aren't we giving more attention to the bad guys we are taking out? We have to encourage more justice in the ME in order to give hope to our people that something is being done to bring the bad guys to justice. Instead, we just sit back and get to read the headlines about another string of casualties.

Islam is inherently responsible for it's own actions. I think they are doing more than we think to bring the terrorists to justice. However, the underlying message of hate and intolerance is the real WMD. The Salafi attitude must be balanced with respect for Shi'a and Sufis and moderate groups of Sunni Muslims. They might be inclined to be more protective of the fundamentalists because they do not want to see their religion secularized by law as it has in the West. However, enough is enough, it is time for Muslims to start showering the world with resolve to put an end to this message of hate.
