You're absolutely right. It is disturbing to witness the USA’s, and the rest of Western Civilization's, flailing response to Islam. Strangely, in the end it parallels Islam's masochistic, suicide bomb mentality, but on a national/global scale rather than individual level.

Perpetuating the current politically-correct, defensive posture in the US and abroad, is blatantly insane. At the end of the day, if this persists, it will be the demise of America and civilization. I’ll leave it to you to estimate the total number of virgins required.

For me at least, it is becoming increasingly difficult to speak of Islam using politically-correct terminology.

Do you really think they will wake up before they self-destruct? I’m beginning to have some doubts.

ExCane...I have thought along those lines as well...Would " More and more every day I see the need for a well crafted pre-emptive strike on the correct target(s), followed up with "if you don't turn them in and change your anti-western cultural campaign, there's more where that came from "? .....

I think it is just not possible for us in the civilized world to think and act as do the islam terrorists.... If we were able to act and think like them I wonder if it would alter their preception of reality if each time a islam terrorist murders innocent people inculding children..we civilized people erased their entire family?

What Muslims Really Think

Homeland Security: We can all breathe easier now. The first major poll of the U.S. Muslim community finds that "only" one in four young Muslim Americans would be suicide bombers.

The liberal Pew Research Center, which surveyed 1,050 Muslims earlier this year, did its best to put a PC spin on the results.

It says its "overall" findings confirm that Muslims in America are "mostly mainstream" compared with their more radical co-religionists in Europe.

But as is usually the case with such polls, the devil is in the details.

Data buried deep inside Pew's 100-page report put the lie to the notion that our Muslim population rejects extremism.

An alarming 26% — or roughly 100,000 — of younger U.S. Muslims say suicide bombings against non-Muslim "civilian targets" are cool. That's really not any more comforting than the 35% of young Muslim Brits who told Pew the same thing after some of them bombed the London subway, killing 52 civilians and wounding another 700 or so.

You may recall how pundits here assured us our Muslim youth would never subscribe to such lunacy.
