Free World vs. Islamic World

Submitted by Glenn Klotz (United States), Jan 27, 2003 at 08:28

The truth is the free world is rarely ever united precisely because individuals and states have the freedom to dissent.

On the other hand we have the forces of Islamic fascism growing by the hr. to try and create a new order in the Muslim world that is anything but free. These people might be attacking us now but these terror attacks are meant to rally there forces in the Muslim world and force this area of the world to join forces with them.

Having succeeded in doing this I believe their next goal would be to arm this huge area with the most deadly weapons of mass destruction they could obtain.

To this end we most stop Saddam or any other Muslim state from having these weapons.

Eventually, I believe it will also be necessary to dis-arm Iran and Pakistan. Militant Muslims cannot be trusted to possess these weapons because of their Jihadist philosophy and its deep seated belief in Martydom. The attack on NYC and Washington are just a taste of what these people are really capable of doing if given the weapons and the opportunity.

In the end however the only way we will beat them will be getting control of the educational resources in these societies and educating their young to be more tolerant of other religions and cultures.
