On the contrary, it is exactly religion that motivates these people. While certainly not all Moslems believe in this extremist view, the number who do is significant. What is even more important is to understand that even more not only tolerate it, but admire it's fervor. This is the point, Islam is fundamentally a supremacist religion. In the West, supremacist beliefs are generally decried, and rightly so, but this is not the case with Islam. It is not the West who needs to tolerate and change, but Islam. There are some signs of this in Egypt, and hopefully it will spread throughout the Moslem world.

You and others of your ideology have certainly tried to achieve this, thus the current political backlash. I myself prefer the traditional American belief, that of unbridled optimism, the only thing needed to be the defeat of totalitarian sociopaths like yourself. The Constitution was designed to facilitate this.


As is so often the case, Ken, you are on the money with both of these replies. Islam does not want to live in peace with fellow religions and the pessimistic view of society espoused by JM is reflective of the pessimistic view statists have of everyone.


I sincerely hope that your country meets its financial obligations to NATO and our mutual cooperation keeping North America safe for us and our future generations. I thank your people for continued support and cooperation.
