One does not have to dig deeply to see that the trouble with Islam is Islam itself. It is a religion which is foreign to the concepts inherent in Christianity of forgiveness. Instead, it glorifies self destruction and revenge.

Example. Islamic Jihad or Hamas launch a suicide attack which kills scores of Israeli citizens. When the Israeli Army retaliates in a measured response, always less lethal than the original attack and a handful of Palestinian "militants" are blotted out, then these terrorist organisations scream that they will take revenge on Israel and make the ground burn under their feet.

The West will not win the war ...by bowing before it but rather we must confront it and fight against its virulent spread. Adherents of Radical Islam must be barred from entering our countries and those who are already hear must be served notice that the rights and freedoms they are abusing in western contries will not be tolerated. It is time to get tough ...
