#1 Talk is cheap, and this is yet another example of Arab "warriors" talking big and fierce. I don't have to remind you of the incident the other day (reposted right here on Rantburg) when some jihadi and his buddies were talking just such big talk but headed for the tall grass in a panic as soon as a US helo made its appearance.

#2 I'd consider this article to be a good argument in favor of slaughtering them to the last man.

#4 Most Westerners can't cope with this sort of evil. Their minds just shut down.

The culture is just too evil. Just too zero sum. All this talk about the enlightened Abbasids and Ummayids is just BS. This is where despotism was invented 6,000 years ago. The whole concept of God-King originated in Mesopotamia. It's always been one fat guy in a jeweled turban shitting on a grand vizier and a grand bashir, who in turn shit on their subordinates and so on down to the most humble dhimmi or fellah.

The West has progressed almost to the stars during the past 500 years while the Arab Muslim world has stagnated. In all truth, we are as culturally and intellectually advanced over the Arabs as the Europeans settlers were over the Indians when they first arrived. Cultural relativism be damned.

There isn't a lot of common ground between two cultures so widely separated.

There will be more attempts to reach out and communicate and convert them to our way of thinking. These will fail. Eventually some American, Russian, Indian, or Chinese version of Andrew Jackson will come along and crush them. Those left will end up on reservations like the Native Americans.

Talk all you like about "melting pots" and "tossed salads," the reality is this: a turd in a stew or a salad is still a turd. It adds no value to the mix. It in fact subtracts value.

There are good people in every culture. The numbers of exploiters is usually quite small. I hope that the silent majority in places like Pakistan, Iran, and Dar al Arab (in deference to Liberalhawk) rise up. I suspect that their culture, their language, their religion, and their traditions will prevent this, leading to conflict and destruction.

#6 Nearby we found the Syrians, They cut off his hands, head and took his eyes out and left him in a bag.

Hands for fingerprints, head for photo line up? Assuming of course there is .05% truth in this story, that's what I'd collect if I found a dead person of interest.
