Your shilling for 'good muslims' doesn't quite fit in with your post of yesterday delineating your 'non extreme' principles. Yes there are meek muzzis but they are not 'good' muzzis. 'Good' muzzis are islamofascists for it is a murderous religion. Take a hundred muzzis and put them on the moon with a copy of the koran and two of them will read it and become jihadis and subjugate the other 98. Then they will force them to send their kids to jihadi brainwashing institutions and in the next generation you will have a hundred jihadis.

As long as there are muslims in sufficient numbers to cause trouble with their neighbors ... there will be trouble.

As a Jew I find some of the language bandied around above very offensive. Its the sort of terminology used by our enemies. Whilst I am very aware of the dangers of and the need to confront global jihad _ I don't think it helps our cause to stoop to their level. Abusing the term "holocaust" in the way its done above will be viewed by many Jews as not only Islamophobic but a trivialisation of the holocaust. There is also no need to alienate the moderate muslims from non-arab countries in the way that such use of terminology is likeli to do. The use of such offensive terms such as "filth,vermin or ape was the language that the nazis used to describe the Jews. I urge you to tone down such language in future postings since all you are doing is discrediting our cause and playing into the hands of our enemies.

Leonard, your comment "The use of such offensive terms such as "filth,vermin or ape was the language that the nazis used to describe the Jews" is 100 percent correct. It is also the kind of language the enemy is using to dehumanize Jews today, and they have other words for Christians (kafir being among them). The enemy has also published a "Jews as Christ killers" picture that shows Jews with exaggerated Semitic features crucifying a woman labeled "Palestine."

I admit that I am using some of the techniques that Hitler and Goebbels used to get an entire nation to hate Jews, and I do not apologize for this. First, as I just stated, the enemy is doing this to us so I am simply repaying them in kind. Second, unlike the Jews and other minorities who were murdered by the Nazis, the Islamofascists are in fact behaving like subhumans. What other term describes a culture in which mothers raise their children to be homicide bombers? What term but "subhuman" or "Untermensch" describes individuals who will saw a helpless captive's head off while chanting "Allahu akbar!" or butcher a female aid worker (Margaret Hassan)?

Third, I am classifying the enemy by BEHAVIOR as opposed to genetics. To the Nazis, you were a subhuman if you had Jewish grandparents, even if your behavior was that of a loyal and productive German (as it was in almost most cases). The enemy to which I refer is subhuman by CHOICE and BEHAVIOR, not by birth. Anyone whom I classify as a subhuman is free to rejoin the human race at any time by acting like a civilized human being.

When we are at war, we must use the language of war, and the language of war has never been pretty. We must, as stated by King Henry V, don the ugly mask of war:

In peace there's nothing so becomes a man

As modest stillness and humility:

But when the blast of war blows in our ears,

Then imitate the action of the tiger;

Stiffen the sinews, summon up the blood,

Disguise fair nature with hard-favour'd rage;

Then lend the eye a terrible aspect;

Let pry through the portage of the head

Like the brass cannon; let the brow o'erwhelm it

As fearfully as doth a galled rock

O'erhang and jutty his confounded base,

Swill'd with the wild and wasteful ocean.

Now set the teeth and stretch the nostril wide,

Hold hard the breath and bend up every spirit

To his full height.

In summary, we must indeed dehumanize the enemy. We must not let his allies (e.g. Michael Moore) paint him as a "Minuteman" who is fighting American oppressors. Haven't we had enough of the enemy referring to Israelis as "Zionazis?" I say we pay them back with compound interest. I am not going to sing "Kumbaya" with them, I am going to tell them through my actions, "I will not bandy with thee word for word/ but buckle with thee blows, twice two for one!"

Bill - I do access MEMRI TV and other recordings and I am aware of the level of anti-semitism that exists in the arab world and large parts of the Muslim world such as the speech by Matahir the former Malaysian PM, but we are not seeking to appeal to those primative regions. We live in the West where most people have modern liberal values. You must distinguish between the Jihadists and the modernists in the Muslim world and not seek to make new enemies unnecessarily. I recognise its an uphill struggle - but there have been some successes - for example the new President of Afghanistan. Many people in the West have not gaged the level of threat and some even believe all the conspiracy theories of ridiculous individuals like Michael Moore. All I am saying is tone down some of the language and direct any vehemence to the offending party rather than brand an entire religion. Remember its a battle over minds - we don't wish to turn people off.
