#1 Thank God I was not born a Chechen. How would you like to be at the total mercy of a person like this?

#2 This is a really great example of the mindset of this cult and how they operate. It's scary if they actually believe it--which at least a lot of them do. I find their need for ultimate authority claims, interesting. Since the Moslems do not value self-empowerment, they instead turn to an all-powerful, yet distant and twisted archetype of an "individual" and father figure, i.e., "Allah," to obey without question. Those that can threaten the infidels (i.e. infidels being those who do believe in the value of self-empowerment) most effectively, using "Allah" as back up, are most revered. Then those who do the bidding of these spokesmen (the underling terrorists and fighters) are given approval as a substitute for love, from the distant father figure "Allah" through the surrogate (spokesman). Too weird. And doesn't it just prove that the founding fathers of the USA knew that self-empowerment was the only way to assure freedom, peace, and social advancement. Go figure.

#3 More people in the West hear rabid jihadists screaming what they are going to inflict on the 'infidel world', plus watch their monstrous evil actions filmed for the media in Iraq, coupled with horrific homicide bombings against Israel, (less with the national security barriers) and have arrived at the obvious conclusions these die-hard jihadees have all the ingredients of the death cults the world has ever witnessed.

If the rest of the free nations can understand the evil we are confronted by is not a passing phase of some wackos, but an international cancer which must be reacted to now, before these lunatics stage an unthinkable act of terror, resulting in hundreds of innocents being lost.

The principal source of funding for the various networking Islamic terror groups is derived from OPEC oil profits. Solution, re-take the petroleum fields we developed, not the Arabs or Iranians preventing the enemy from using what we are forced to shell out at the local Shell station ........against us!

If the West does not take increasing stronger measure we can not complain later on when the cultist enemy slaughters hundreds of thousands of innocent people. It's rather difficult taking stronger action when some in America are more concerning in regaining political power from the President, and treating the world war to counter the jihadic cult as a joke!

Wake up people, we are being attacked by a viscous death cult, not a peaceful religion as some appeasers continue stating.
