As long as those listed as the virtuous unbaptized cited in Dante's "The Divine Comedy" goes against the grain of the predominant interpretation of, "There is only one God, and Muhammed is his prophet" - any accomodation in the realm of government is self-serving.

Either the Allah Akhbar crowd reins in the thinking that bloodlust in the name of Allah is justified, or other means will be brought to bear to hold them accountable for their actions. Why? Because they are definitely not holding themselves accountable for their barbaric actions. As long as those who equate Jews and Christians to relatives of pigs are untouchable, they will continue down the spiral which has debilitated the swamp which needs to be drained for far too long.
