What do you people think I am? Some kind of frickin' dancing bear? I don't make "new blog posts" on frickin' demand, dammit. I - oh crap.

Choke on it, then.

Some people do believe "we don't get along with anyone" - despite the fact that our humour is mainstream, our books are classics, our music is loved, our inventions are beneficial to the entire world and we have a list of nobel prize winners longer than your collective foreskins.

True - we aren't popular with racists and religious extremists....

An antisemitic Hindu I once knew thought that there must be a sinister reason why the Nazis, Arabs and Catholics hated the jews so much...that "the Jews must have done something" to anger them.

We did. We were "foriegn" (and I guess there were enough black people for racist bastards to pick on in Europe). We had different beliefs. Plus we were rich and we "killed Jesus".
uptight:

But the things we agree on tend to get lost in hysterical overstatement regarding the things we don't agree on.



You're just gonna have to try and reign yourself in then, dear boy.

It's also true the Arabs have far more than their fair share of hysterical overstatement - and huge swaths of Arab culture are impervious to reason. But that doesn't justify similar behavior on our part.



To be honest, yes, I have mulled over the pros, cons and upshots of nuking mecca. Not as a random, preemptive act of genocide, but as a target if Islamists started nuking us. Or even as a "hinted" deterrent, if they threatened to nuke us.

We are under attack from a religion, not a country. What other sort of deterrent could there possibly be for suicide bombers?

It's a shit thing to think, but I'd rather we weren't put in this situation.

I'd rather not even have to think about nuking a religion's sacred places. All I want to do is get rich, get laid and get drunk. But if comes to it, I'd rather nuke Mecca than be forced to pray to it five times a day.

Okay - fine "Hysteria".

Hysteria is one thing, but I think apathy, naivity and blind optimism are even more damaging. We have to face up to the reality of this situation.

Some people don't seem to realise that we are at war. At war with a collosal enemy who are driven by a fervent religious belief. An enemy that relishes the idea of dying for their cause. They want to turn Planet Earth into a global Sharia Theme Park and nothing else will do.

Being nice to them won't stop their plans. Neither will caving in on foriegn policy, which is taken as a sign of weakness.

The only options we have are a)fighting them until they are contained or destroyed b)submitting to them c)dying.

I'm not talking about run of the mill, Western Muslims, here. They would be just as much a victim as the rest of us. Possibly worse off as they wouldn't have the "dhimmi" option.

I am talking about a global movement that has been steadily growing since the 1920's. Qutbism, the MB etc.

You can not negotiate with these people. Don't even think about it. They see this as a pure mission from God.

Hysteria? This is WW3 - well the start of it...and this time, we play for keeps.
