Reviewing my post, I wanted to repeat the important distinction that the LEFTIST jihadis are now a security threat to their conservative governments. The trained killer instinct and absolute intolerance is backfiring on the Islamic laws of Sharia. The absence of freedom and hatred produced a hatred for local governments supported by the US. The medieval feudal society is coming apart at the seams. We need to fight with every ounce of our national dignity and character to make sure that more democratic governments emerge from these local disputes in Iraq and other places. Walking away is not an option. I have always trusted the US was doing the right things, but not communicating the reasons very well. Rice has convinced me that our government can articulate our positions very well. Better than Bush, better than Cheney, she is the best American politician right now to lead this country forward. I hope to hear much more from her, especially if she decides to become the next American President. She would have my support, hands down!!

Exploring Islam's 'Death Cult' Newsweek ^ \| July 6, 2007 \| Michael Hirsh msnbc.msn.com It is the question at the back of many people's minds as they absorb the frightening details of the terror plot in Britain. Yes, we understand that many Muslims are angry—about the Iraq War, about Israeli policy toward the Palestinians and the usual list of grievances. But there are many people, in many different societies and cultures, who are angry about many things. Would any other culture or religion produce a group of doctors and... --snip-- The conservative commentator Cal Thomas also used a cancer metaphor in comments that provoked an outcry from the U.S. Muslim community in recent days. “How much longer should we allow people from certain lands, with certain beliefs to come to Britain and America and build their mosques, teach hate, and plot to kill us?" Thomas asked. "OK, let's have the required disclaimer: Not all Muslims from the Middle East and Southeast Asia want to kill us, but those who do blend in with those who don't. Would anyone tolerate a slow-spreading cancer because it wasn't fast-spreading? Probably not. You'd want it removed." --snip-- “When I look back at Islamic history over the last few centuries, there was a long period of comparative stability from 1400 onward, in which there was a kind of understanding that Islam deplored anarchy,” says Richard Bulliet, a noted scholar of the Arab world at Columbia University. --snip-- It remains so today, as we have seen most tragicially in the bloodbath between Sunni and Shia in Iraq. These schisms have prevented the greater healing—for example a pan-Islamic declaration opposing the use of terrorism against innocents—that must occur within Islam as a whole. Muslims must find a way to remove this modern cancer—this fundamentalist death cult—that has infected their religion. None of us on the outside can do it for them.
