Since the seventh century the Islamists have dreamed of world domination. Over the years, our only periods of peaceful coexistence with the Islamists (who are the most extreme believers in Moslem world domination) have occurred when we held obvious and overwhelming military superiority over the Islamists. At various times the Christian knights of Europe have inflicted crushing defeats on Islamist armies trying to forcibly take control of Christendom’s Western European and Middle Eastern cities.

A little understood fact about the history of this continuing war is that “Al Qaeda” is the name only some of today’s Islamists warriors fight under. Saying the just ended Mumbai massacre was not carried out by Islamists because a solid connection to Al Qaeda is not readily discernable is as wrong as saying World War II’s Norwegian freedom fighters weren’t part of the Allied war effort because they didn’t have “US Army” patches on their arms.
The Islamists rely on a selection of passages in the Qu’ran known collectively as the Verses of the Sword (VoS) for their motivation. The VoS, as they read them, encourages every manner of deceitful warfare against those who do not believe in Islam and its ways. They assure Islamists they can lie to anyone not an Islamist and God will bless their lies. This brings about such tactics as “hudnas” or false deceitful “truces” with infidels armies who hold superior advantages on a battlefield: think Fallujah.

The VoS also promise terrible vengeance from God to unbelievers who are described as evil doers and that would be us.

This war will not end, It can only have periods of relative peace. Our task is to hit the Islamists so hard, over and over again that they want peace as much as we do. We have to make the very idea of fighting Americans unthinkable. So far we are doing a good job of this. That’s why they are hitting Europe and Asia not us.
