Some people still believe that the Western world can live in peace with the Islamo-fascists. Certainly, we can live with Muslims. We can not live in peace with any group, however, that is intent on destroying us.
This is where pacifism fails. If your enemy's goal is to kill you, pacifism only facilitates the process. If the British Empire had wanted to wipe out the Hindus, no one would have ever heard of Mahatma Ghandi. If the Ku Klux Klan ran the military in the 1960's in the United States, Martin Luther King, Jr., never would have made any speeches on the Washington, D.C. mall.
Pacifism only works when your enemy has a conscience. Islamo-fascists have none. Osama bin-Laden and his followers want us dead. Period. No amount of talk or reason is going to change bin-Laden's objective. The only defense against him and his ilk is either death or incarceration.

AND ANOTHER THING: Islamo-fascist terrorists hide behind their own women and children. One of their favoirte tactics is to shoot rockets from neighborhoods, then complain to the Western press when, in response, their intended targets fire back in self-defense. The terrorists are great manipulators of the press.

ONE MORE THING: Western feminists, usually among the more liberal and "forgiving" of the differences in culture, have begun to align themselves with the anti-fascist Hawks. It seems differences in culture are no problem until the other culture believes in female genital mutilation or the general subservience of women.
Australia's most senior Muslim cleric, Sheikh Taj el-Din al-Hilali, caused an uproar by comparing women that do not wear traditional head-coverings to "uncovered meat."
According to the BBC, al-Halili explained
"If you take out uncovered meat and place it outside... and the cats come and eat it... whose fault is it, the cats' or the uncovered meat?" he asked.
The uncovered meat is the problem, he went on to say.
"If she was in her room, in her home, in her hijab [head covering], no problem would have occurred," he added.
Sheikh Hilali also condemned women who swayed suggestively and wore make-up, implying they attracted sexual assault.
"Then you get a judge without mercy... and gives you 65 years," he added.
Those damn judges without mercy will get you every time.
The article goes on to say that
Sheikh Hilali's critics have previously accused him of praising suicide bombers and claiming the attacks in the United States on 11 September 2001 were "God's work against oppressors".
That's unacceptable in a civilized world. Yes, that means that if someone tries to kill me or my brother, I will react in self-defense with appropriate force. If that means I kill you, I will not apologize. I apply the same logic to any man that believes he can rape my sister if she fails to wear a head covering.
Live and let live, I believe. But if you don't let me, my brother and sister live in peace, you will reap the whirlwhind. And I will not cry.
