"Sieg heil" in Arabic

I readily acknowledge the genocidal goals of a small part of the Arab world. You have overblown it into most of the Arab world, and if you continue to stand by that, then that is where you and I are at odds.

Basileus, two points:

1. Even if it's only 10 percent of the Muslims world (as opposed to Arab)that has genocidal goals, that's still 100 million people, certainly not an insignfiicant figure.

2. The question of whether the advocates of genocide are a majority or a minority, ultimately, is irrelevant. Look at Germany during the 1930's. The Nazis never achieved a legislative majority in free elections before Hitler became chancellor. Nevertheless, once they took power, the Nazis did all they could to install their totalitarian, genocidal machinery.

What's the point? Though Nazis weren't a political majority in Germany, they came to power because their opponents were either too apathetic, too disorganized or too full of themselves to stop them.

But this is also consistent where you and I are also at odds: you insist this is a religious issue (which would explain your useage of the word 'most'), while I continue to insist it is predominantly a political one.

Basileus, the Islamic terrorists and their supporters make no distinction between politics and religion. Otherwise, why would they want to impose Islamic law? Take a look at Iran, Saudi Arabia, Sudan and Afghanistan under the Taliban.

Islamic authorities have a chance to stop this momentum by issuing fatwas against bin Laden, suicide bombers, Hezbollah, Hamas, Iran, etc. The fact that they have either failed or refused to do so means that, ultimately, they're part of the problem -- which makes this fundamentally a religious problem, not just a political one.>

I'm not sure I want to talk to someone who has called me several names at this point, but here goes.
A) I didn't say I was a reactionary radical Catholic. I said I am a Catholic reactionary radical, which implies something very different, and which references Bill Kauffman's book, which I assume you haven't read.
B) As for being an "isolationist", I find that term is usually thrown by imperialists at anti-imperialists. If "Isolationist" means believing that America should not involve herself in foreign wars when our country is not threatened, I plead guilty. But then that is what George Washington and other great American patriots held as well.
Oh, yes, throw out the suggestion of anti-Semitism by all means, a favorite trick to silence all criticism of Israel. I do not "oppose the Jews". I do oppose many of the policies of the (very) secular Israeli state. By confusing the two you reveal yourself as a fundamentalist.
You and Mr Dreher are banging the drums for American involvement in a well-orchestrated war.
