Either that or suggest it is like a cult?

I have a pal, very Roman Catholic who has always considered Islam as a whole a Satanic cult. I don’t think I would go there myself, but I think cult is one of the best ways to describe Radical Islam.

If you think of it as a cult their beliefs, their methods and their violence make perfect sense, personally I think of it more as a Mafia family but either way it pressures even those outside of it to conform or suffer the consequences.

If we are going to actually win this war two things are necessary, the first is to separate Radical Islam from mainline Islam and the second is to call Radical Islam what it is:

A dangerous and murderous group that is totally incomparable with democratic and free society that has to be at best restrained and at worst destroyed.

The biggest danger of radical Islam is for it to become “mainstream” within Islam. If it does and/or becomes the most prominent sect of Islam then we will have an actual war against Islam to fight. Even a win would be disastrous as the slaughter would be horrible.

All our efforts should be to prevent the above from happening, because if we don’t then the cost for stopping it will increase dramatically.

…in the sense that there is apparently no there there:

“The explanations offered by prosecutors and investigators in an attempt to justify their actions and persuade the court that they did not use the defendants’ compelled testimony were all too often contradictory, unbelievable and lacking in credibility,” Urbina wrote.

The confederate yankee has this to say:

I don’t think that this dismissal means that these contractors were necessarily innocent, but the political focus of the investigation means we long ago lost any chance there was of ever determining if there was any justification for the guards to open and then maintain their fire.

He suggests there might have been some there there at one time. Glenn has the best explanation as to why this is happening now:

WELL, THE ELECTION’S OVER NOW

That’s pretty much it, end it after the election was done but before the next one can start.

I only have two thoughts on the subject:

1. It is now firmly established that no such attack can take place in the sight of passengers because they will not allow themselves to be killed with impunity.

2. We have reached a point where I actually had to read this story to the end to know it was satire.
