What IS a big deal is that Muslims are officially authorized to recruit by the sword. Agree. And what makes it worse is that these days we have far more dangerous weapons that the sword. That's why trying to make radicals look like hopeless losers is wise policy -- and allowing them to become the victors is a path towards escalating the problem. This "echo - 60's antiwar" revolt by stupid ageing boomers may cause big trouble.

>> What IS a big deal is that Muslims are officially authorized to recruit by the sword. Care to provide references from Quran on this?

So are democracies. Surely you have heard of conscription. Big thugs show up and force people to perform as ordered, or else. If they resist, they will be attacked, and killed if necessary. <What IS a big deal is that Muslims are officially authorized to recruit by the sword. > Right here in SI, people are saying "Bring back conscription". Slavery, confiscation, repression and dominance hierarchies are normal. They happen every day in democracies. Taxation by one gang who gain power, of those who work in the fields, is just another manifestation of slavery. Sure, one can refuse to work, but one gets hungry after a while. Slavery is far more effective these days. Mqurice
