We just don't understand them!

The American people have no concept of what we are dealing with when we think of the hard-line muslims. We just don't understand that they live in a world-cocoon that filters out Western thought , ideals, concepts and aspirations. They live to subjugate at best, murder at worst, all who resist the supremacy of their religion. Americans just do not understand the implacable stance of these people; we have no baseline for comparison. Not even the unbelievable inhumane practices of World War II, or the Inquisition gives us a basis for comparison.

We are living in a fools paradise!! I thank you for trying, against terrific odds, to provide insight into the nature and drive of those who would create a world-wide muslim theocracy.
