#1 This is probably one of the best concise arguments that I have ever read addressing the issue of the "moderate (peaceful) muslim majority."

It is spot on. Thanks for posting it.

#2 "Peace loving Muslims" who still want every Jew in the world banished or put to the sword. No different than Hitler, no difference at all.

#5 A pertinent e-mail worth thinking about.

Let's keep in mind that the phrase "the vast majority of Muslims just want to live in peace" is intended to have an effect, not on the terrorists, but on those opposing them. Terrorists reside amongst the people and surreptitiously receives aid from some of them. Attempts to root out terrorists and their supporters are deliberately hampered and stymied by incantations of "don't harm the innocent"! This comes from people who don't give a damn about the innocents harmed by the Terrorists.

#6 'Cowed and extraneous' bordering on violence enablers and accomplices.

Islam is what the world would be if everything were inside-out and backwards. Instead of policing their mess, they run from it and deny any knowledge of the result of their bloodthirst.

#7 "Peace-loving Muslims have been made irrelevant by their silence. "

There you have it.

#8 Of course, the flip side of this argument is that we only need to kill the fanatics, not all the muzz. Unlike the case of the Nazis, it's fairly safe to say "scratch a muzz, find a jihadi."

#9 The Nazis had many fewer supporters/sympathizers worldwide but they possessed concentrated power in a military-industrial national entity.

Radical Islamists had one power base crushed in Afghanistan because it was a technologically backward, impoverished, militarily weak state. Without a single powerful nation which can export their ideology as a "champion", their movement will still present a threat but one which can be dealt with through vigilance and the careful application of diplomacy and force.

So it's really all about Iran. Eliminate that actor from the stage as a major military player without another rising to replace it and the nightmare scenario of worldwide Islamist ascendancy can be restrained.
