RCG- Re #5418
I'm not sure I'm understanding you but, I'll respond to what I think you are saying. If you say that the fact we are trying to "Westernize" jihadists is equivalent to them trying to get us to convert, dhimmify or be killed, I do not agree at all. However, I don't see us trying to "Westernize" them, just neutralize them and their effect. Now obviously this often takes military action due to the nature of the threat. Tell me if I get your meaning.

As far as peaceful muslims are concerned, I don't see complete genocide or subduing them as a desired or viable option, nor "founded upon good principles of our human nature" as you wrote. I do think they cannot remain silent, however, claiming islamophobia without first cleaning house (this is simplified but I am tired). As far as GZ's statements are concerned, I haven't been following this long, but he did post that his "nuke 'em" statements applied to the radicals only.
