When talking about how to fight Muslim terrorism she starts by quoting Jihad Watch's Robert Spencer:
"Of course, from the infidels' standpoint all anti-terror measures must be undertaken. But they should be accompanied by a strength of will that realizes that it is precisely fear and the loss of the will to resist that the jihadists are ultimately hoping to bring about."
She - as I do - agrees with that but adds:
Besides the will to resist, then, we need the knowledge to resist -- the knowledge that there is in the religion of Islam itself the historical, inexorable and driving force behind what the entire non-Muslim world is now experiencing as jihad terror. Whether most Muslims wouldn't hurt a fly is an increasingly irrelevant footnote to the hostile aggression of other Muslims who, in a very short time, have actually transformed civilization as we used to know it.
I agree with her in so far that terrorism, or armed Jihad, is more ingrained in Islam than the West was willing to recognize for years and years. The political correctness and our own history forced us to do so.
However; as I noted when everything with Ayaan happened, it is of the utmost importance for us - the West and more, the non-Muslim countries - to investigate the nature of Islam more. Any such study shows that while there might be moderate Muslims, there simply is no such thing as a Moderate Islam. The Islam's lessons that carry authority don't teach peace, they teach hatred and aggression.
Again; that does not automatically make every single Muslim a terrorist. In fact - of course - the (far) majority of Muslims aren't terrorists at all. However; to deny its teachings of aggression and hatred would be a silly mistake.
If one wants to beat ones enemy - Muslim terrorism - one has to know ones enemy. A 'they're all crazy' won't be suffice.

Hear, hear!

Of course they're not all crazy. There are many sane rational Muslims, and there's lots of evidence that the earth is flat to support what Allah says in the Quran.

Muslims aren't nuts. They just have a different cultural perspective on lunacy than the rest of us, possibly because they've been marrying their cousins for 1400 years. (It only took 200 years of going beyond kissing-cousins to send European royalty so totally gaga that not only did they talk to trees , but the trees replied)
Now I'm not suggesting Yorkshire Muslims have much affinity to European royalty, but has anyone looked into the geneology of the Bradford martyrs who killed all the kaffirs on the London underground?
I wouldn't be in the least surprised if they were somewhat deficient in the number of grandparents.
Incest? Not a problem as long as you keep it in the family!
