We are now among people who are better and worse than savages.
They are, in most places, and for the time being, less likely to break the crockery, as Chesterton put it, than were the savages of old.
They will cut babies to pieces in the womb, more than a million a year, but only rarely out of it; and they will be roused to the height of righteous wrath should they see someone leave a dog in a hot car in the summer. They watch filth all the time and let it soak their souls, but they will not roll in mud, because it is not good for the complexion. They judge by the flights of feeling and mass sentiment. They know what sluts are: women whose sexual immorality is a degree or two more degraded or more consistent than theirs. They are the more ruthless and severe in their condemnations as they are incapable of telling exactly what is to be condemned and why.Touchstone Archives: Mission Nary Impossible

Your Say
There are so many evil people on the earth today because the unevil people allow them to exist.
If all the unevil people went out and killed 1 evil person each, by next wednesday there would be no more evil people. They would have been killed or instantly converted to unevil people.
Unevil exists, flourishes, and expands in a void.

We have no problem executing a heinous killer, baby raper, mass murderer, so forth; we have no problem killing an unborn child in mother's womb in the last trimester of pregnancy; we have no problem carrying a concealed weapon or having a weapon in the home to stop a threat to life and limb which usually leaves the perpetrator dead.
We have a problem, it seems, waging war on a radically psychopathic ethnic group that has killed, raped, maimed, enslaved, brainwashed and destroyed other people since oh, about 1200AD.
We have a problem administering the kind of military actions that will be decisive in eliminating the threat. Think: Dresden, no problem there. Think: Hiroshima and Nagasaki, no problem there.
We have a problem over-reacting to the situation the way we did at Waco and the Branch Davidian compound, the way we did at Bundy's ranch.
Folks, as unpleasant as it may appear, going against spiritual principles that I and many others espouse in Christianity, the only solution for the Muslim threat is to kill every last one of them, their families, their friends, their neighbors; to lay waste to their crop lands and salt their wells, to destroy their buildings such that no two stones lay atop one another.
The justification, if one is needed, is that the Muslims are Evil. Whether we are spiritual or worldly, believers or atheists, young, old, gay or straight, male or female, White or Black, or any other combination of the above, the paradigm in which we all repose dictates that some things are good, some bad, and some Evil.

I would stop looking at Islam as a religion and look at it as a government.
Islam has it's own code of laws, runs it's own governments and has formed it's own states.
No matter whether they call themselves Sunni or Shia'h, each has a country in which it is based.
For comparison, England has a formal religion of the State, the Church of England, yet they have a formed government and a recognized country. If was were to be declared on England it would be on the country, which would include the church.
The same must be for the Persians and the Arabs.
