Reader comment on item: "24" and Hollywood's Discovery of Radical Islam

The outrage Muslims portray in this country when they receive even mildly bad press would be laughable if it weren't so deadly. ... Tolerance or persuasion by example and/or reason is not even remotely part of the militant Islamic mindset. That terrorists are generally reported to have been friendly, nice, etc. is no surprise. If the devil looked like his real self, who would get within a million miles of him, much less grant him a passport?

Islam declared war on Christianity and make no mistake, Christians and all who are not Muslim, over a thousand years ago. Like many evils, it has through history lain under a convenient rock waiting for its opportunity to strike. Wake up, folks! The rock has been kicked over. This war will not go away no matter how many idiots try to make nice with its author. With all my heart I wish it were not so, but this is a showdown, a battle to the death, and high noon is closer than we think.
