[France] The Riviera Knife Attack.

[Ninurta]

You cannot win against a people who want nothing other than to destroy you and your entire way of life to please their god. It then devolves into an "us or them" situation, literally. Unless and until Islam enters the civilized world and learns to get along, that is the way it is, and will remain.

"Us" or "Them".

"It's nice to be nice, but this is neither the time nor the place" - J.D. LaRue

So what would you like to see happen? What do you see as a resolution?

I may be wrong but it sounds like you think the only solution is to eliminate them all, by any means available. 

That sounds exactly like the mentality you say you are against, when the Muslims are doing the hating.

I only have known two people personally that professed to be Muslims, and I had a brief interaction with a small group of American Muslims way back in the 60s, none of these people fit the description you shared.  So, you are right, my personal knowledge of type of people you describe in your post is non-existent. That does not change how I feel about killing or punishing people who have committed no crimes, even if they may harbor hate in their hearts. 

Just as I think it is wrong for you to be punished for the hate you harbor in your heart. 

Hate is endless and is not an effective solution to any problem.

I would like to see Islam step out of the 7th century and into the 21st century. I have severe doubts that will happen on any sort of non-geological time scale, however.

Until Islam learns to get along with civilization and play nice, then eradication IS the only solution.

It's not a matter of hate, it's a matter of self defense. I can't really say that I hate Muslims - I mean, I MARRIED one, y'know? That was even after I had become apostate from Islam, and there was a death threat on my head because of it.

It's not "hate", it's just a desire to see the bullshit stop, and a willingness to do what it takes to make that happen.

My second wife flew off the handle and beat the shit out of me one day. I took it, because I could, and never hit her back. But bright and early the next morning, I went down to the courthouse and took out a domestic violence restraining order on her. While filling out the paperwork, there was a box to check to have the sheriff's department remove her from the house, and I didn't check it. The clerk asked why I didn't check it, and my reply then was the same as my reply now - I didn't want her on the street, I just wanted the bullshit to stop. The order was served, and worked. The bullshit stopped. She realized I was done with bullshit.

I didn't hate my second wife. I just got tired of the bullshit and took appropriate action. The situation defines what is "appropriate" action. Beheading innocent folk calls for an answer.

Grace's first husband was a radical Muslim. Folks on the street, Americans in general, never, ever knew that because they were in the "out" group, not in the "in" group. He didn't walk up to Americans and announce "Hi! I'm 'Waheed', and I'm a radical Muslim." Folks never knew. his sister was a professor at a university in Missouri. She was a radical, too, and no one, NO ONE, ever knew. that sort of thing is only discussed at home, among friends and family. It's not announced abroad until it's time to strike.

"Waheed" is no longer among us. Somehow, his silly ass got deported back to Syria. Ask me no questions, and I'll tell you no lies about it. With any luck, he got eradicated along with with his ISIS buddies. I make no apologies, either. However, his sister IS still among us. They are here, make no mistake, and they will not announce their philosophy or intent individually until it is time to strike.

Casual interaction is insufficient to gauge the depth of the threat. They are not gonna tell you until the knife is at your throat. I know this for fact, from floating around in the "in" group. The only reason I wound up in Afghanistan in the 80's is because I was a Muslim, and certain factions needed an insider there - and the mujahiddeen were not accepting non-Muslim "volunteers".

Some Muslims truly are decent folk. I had one prevent me from getting blown up in an attack he knew was coming, and he did so without ever tipping me off to the attack. He just made sure I was elsewhere. He did that because we were good friends, but he kept the coming attack under wraps because he was Muslim.

There are Muslims working to bring Islam into the modern world. I commend them, but they are not yet anywhere close to being in the majority. Until they are, Islam is a threat to everything not Islamic, to the entire dar al-harb.

Threats have to be dealt with, or else consequences WILL be dealt with. It's not "hate", it's self-preservation.
