Undoubtedly. And if Denmark adopted the Shariah, that would be even better. And that recipe works for all these pesky democratic countries. Why don`t don´t we all convert to islam right now and get it over with. Brilliant thinking!

Why should they "smooth things out"? They are preaching islam. Calls to hate and kill the unbelievers until they submit are entirely normal for them.
I don`t know why you expect a tiger to behave like a herbivore.

Remember how "popular vote" was the big slogan among the democrats 8 years ago and then again 4 yours ago?
Suddenly, the "popular vote" does not mean anything any more. Strange how opinions change :-)

It is from the islamic point of view. Dying as a "martyr" in the battle against infidels is the ultimate religious act.
You can criticize it. What is arrogant is judging islam according to the religious view of your religion.

So what? They caught one, and thousands are educated at the radical mosques sprouting all over the country. They are still only addressing the symptoms, not the problem. In Iraq as well as in the US and everywhere.

There are hardly many subscribers to Danish newspapers in Pakistan, and you won`t see any in the local press. A call at the local mosque to kill the unbelievers should suffice quite nicely.

Plenty more where those came from. The US continues to chase the impossible dream.

Why should they? For you, it is not a religious activitiy, for them it is. Don´t be so arrogant to project your religious ideas at them.

Yes, I am sure. And if you have never heard that, it is time to start reading the Koran and the Haddith to get some information. (Same advice as to those Al-Quaida chicks.)
Christians and Jews are "people of the book" and are thus allowed to live in an islamic Caliphate as long as they pay the head tax (jihza). Polytheists and atheists don´t have that option. Basic islamic doctrine, nothing new here.

Jahdog:
More ignorance about islamic doctrine. Of course nobody wants to die because of somebody else`s primary elections of freedom of the press. Jihadist martyrs die because that is the garanteed way to paradise, and remember islamic paradise is very graphic indeed.
Also, this has nothing to do with "the West". Muslim jihadists are active in Nigeria, Thailand, China, the Philippines, India, and countless other places that have nothing to do with any "primaries" or "freedom of the press". Remember that Christians and Jews are actually the priviliged type of kuffars. Buddhists and Hindus are considered polytheists, ranking even lower.
Like Al-Quaidas womenfolks, some commentators here would do well to take a basic course in islamic teaching.

Daydream:
Yes, I remember the Crusades. Do you? The Crusades were a defensive action to push back the islamic jihad, which by then had reached central Europe and Southern France. The Crusades did not happen without context. Without the Crusades, Europe would already be a muslim continent. The Crusades have long stopped, and the Jihad goes on today. Remember that the next time you shoot of an ill-informed soundbyte.

Daydream:
This is very consistent internally. You should acquaint yourself with islamic ideology. And yes, this is very different from any other "group of people or religion". As far as I know, there is not other religion out there that makes physical conquest of the world the centerpiece of its teaching. By definition, other religions are concerned about spiritual things. Islam has an absolutely political goal. Al-Quaida wants to establish a world-wide Caliphate. Not in a metaphorical sense, but literally.

Israel is swopping a live and well jihadist with the dead (and probably tortured bodies) of Jews from Hizbollah. One couldn`t think of a better demonstration of the nature of this conflict.

SuperLib: "GWOT" is a stupid term. Terror is a tactic, not an identity. The problem the world is facing is specificall islamic terrorism, and the Al-Quaida women are upset because they can´t join the menfolk in martyring themselves by blowing up infidels and going to muslim heaving.
Again, tough luck to them -- this asinine statement from the women wannabe terrorist only shows that they have received only second rate islamic education. There is no place in the Koran or the haddith that describes paradise for women. The whole thing is purely designed for men, and women are nothing but property of muslim males, either in the form of wives, daughters, or slave-girls.

Sarge:
What makes you think so? From where I sit, the Taliban movement has been spectacularly successful. They are bleeding Western countries, who naively waste ressources to support the Karzai government until the will finely give up, and they safe havens in Northern Waziristan and the Swat valley, where they have introduced their Sharia Caliphate. The radical muslim movement just keeps getting stronger, while the West endlessly poors ressources into a black hole, chasing the ever-elusive fiction of a democratic islamic state.
Where in the world do you see a failure there?

Al Quaeda Bin Ladin are just names. It is totally irrelevant what happens with them; there are countless other jihadist organizations and leaders to take their place. And Bin Ladin is already a Jihadist legend, dead or alive.
And the Jihad against the non-muslim world (the "house of war") get stronger with every new madarassa that is build.

Women are property of men in islam; so they don´t really have any choice if they are ordered on a suicide mission. But since the islamic paradise (with 72 virgins for the martyrs) and all that is basically a gigantic frat party addressing the needs of hormon-laden young males, one can really not expect women to volunteer for this.
Again, the ladies who now line up for the right to blow themselves up in the cause of jihad apparently did not read their Koran very carefully.

Translation: When he says what you want to hear, he is a great guy who tellst the truth. When doesn't say what you want to hear, he is "repeating administration lies".
Figures.
