Do they think the West will just curl up in a frightened little ball, holding out our white flags?

Do they really think they are making Islam stronger with this "convert or die" style of evangelism??

Seems that delusions might be shared by both sides..


Why is it that Aid is not tied to things like Religious Freedom? It seems to me that to take money from people who are co-religionists of the people being discriminated against or in some cases murdered by Islamic Governments, and to use it to give foreign aid to those governments is like asking Christians to pay for the bullets to kill other christians. Aid that is in the form of food allows the government to divert their money to guns. Aid should be reserved for democratic countries with religious freedom and freedom as much as possible of the press. At the same time immigration from religiously restrictive countries should be limited to the oppressed.

Well, certainly your Islamo-Fascist, Jihadists seem to think they'll win by using their young people as suicide bombers.
You will have excuse them for their lack of smart bomb, warplanes, submarines, tomahawks, surface to air missiles, etc.
Do they think the West will just curl up in a frightened little ball, holding out our white flags?
Well, the US expected that Iraq, Afghanistan and Lebanon to, as you put it, CURL UP IN A FRIGHTENED LITTLE BALL.
Do they really think they are making Islam stronger with this "convert or die" style of evangelism??
Again fear mongering on your part
Seems that delusions might be shared by both sides.
I am please that you see your side's delusion.
