It is a serious mistake to believe that Muslims are stupid, that they don’t understand the West, or that we will prevail because your version of God can beat up their God.
The leaders of Al Queda have become even more blatant what their strategy is, and there is no reason to believe it isn’t true. Dubbed “Operation Hermmorage”, their goal is to destroy the economy of the West by using our freedom against us and force us to spend more and more to defend against trivially inexpensive attacks or threats. A fundamental principle of most martial arts is to use your opponent’s strength against them.
9/11 cost some plane tickets and a bunch of box cutters, and damaged the U.S. economy to the tune of a $ trillion. Send one person on an airplane wearing an ineffective explosive device in his underwear, and the entire U.S. travel industry goes into lockdown mode and economic destruction. Plant a couple bombs in packages and cripple the entire air freight shipping system looking for needles in a haystack. They know we are cowards bent on our own cultural self extermination in the name of “diversity”.
They have said what their plan is. What is an effective response?
“The soft and the pliable will defeat the hard and strong.”
Lao Tzu in “Tao te Ching”.
Because of Western Civilization’s Chickification, the usefulness of the Type A Male Equipped With A Club has been lost.
During the Philippine’s Muslim Rebellion many many years ago, the American general “Black Jack” Pershing (assuming my memory of his name is correct) executed all but one of a large Muslim force using pig fat lathered bullets, and he ordered the burial of all (but one) of those Muslim warriors in a mass grave, each liberally lathered with pig fat. He then sent the one survivor home, who had been made to witness the whole execution/burial episode, to tell the story of what had happened to those Muslim warriors. The Muslim revolution in the Philippines immediately totally collapsed.
Obviously, such a tactic will not be used by our “civilized” Western society, because of a number of objections imposed by our current Western Culture. However, such a tactic, or even more dramatic examples, such as warning all Muslims to evacuate one of their major Muslim sacred sites, and then evaporating it with a nuclear weapon, would immediately end the current Jihad against the west. By such tactics we would be using our strength creatively (and economically efficiently) to take advantage of a Muslim weakness; i.e. by essentially going on the offensive.
Because Western Civilization has been unable to abandon the concept of governmental welfare (in all the forms of the current societal security net), even though it is obviously bankrupting and corrupting our society, we similarly won’t be able to deal effectively with the current Muslim Jihad either. That is, until the Chicks, and their (supposedly) male supporters, give up on their misguided notions of security and empower Real Males to do the job that clearly needs done, in the way only Real Males understand.
The Muslims Jihadests are bullys, and they are getting away with being bullys, because Western Civilization has discarded the option of empowering even bigger and meaner Western Male bullys to back them down.

If I was elected President, the first UN speech I gave I would put them on notice, and it would go like this:.
The New American Foreign Policy I’m announcing today is titled “Police Yourself”.
You must rid yourselves of Jihadists – we will no longer do it for you. Since the Jihadists have acted as barbarians toward us, we will have no option in any future attacks to act in any other way than as a barbarian in return.
If anyone attacks us on a scale of 9/11 again, it won’t matter if they are extremists, we will come after you. If the majority of those attacking are, as an example only, say, Muslims from Saudi Arabia, like during 9/11 attack, then we will retaliate against Saudi Arabia.
Let me make this perfectly clear – we will pick a Muslim holy site in Saudi Arabia and flatten it with a nuclear device. The site will be of our choosing, and there will be no negotiation on their part in either lessening the punishment nor in changing the target.
This policy starts today.
You have all been warned.
I will repeat this once for those who weren’t paying attention before:
Police yourself.
From my experience with the concept of “fair, firm, and consistant” when it comes to effective discipline, I would add a line to the previous policy statement: (with a smile)
“…And if necessary, we may do something different.”
3000 people died in the 9/11 attack, yet 30,000+ die EVERY YEAR in traffic accidents. I want a leader, not a politician, with the guts to say the death of innocent people by terrorists is the price we will pay to keep our liberty. I want a leader to stand up and say “We will not bow to terrorists. We will not surrender our way of life. If terrorists kill American citizens, we will pursue you, your family, and the people that supported you to the ends of the earth”.
I want an airline that says “purchase of a ticket gives us the right to profile passengers – if you think it violates your rights then don’t fly with us. We will not subject you to body searches but act up on the flight and you will be physically subdued and possibly killed”. I want an airline that allows citizens with a concealed carry license to fly armed.
In general the only way the West will win is to become “traffic death apathetic” to terrorists attacks. Just like cars we need to install a few safety devices, then jump behind the wheel and floor it. And don’t forget the “BITE ME” bumpersticker.
Keep in mind, as long as we have a politically correct bunch of idiots in the U.S . and a President that does not have the brass to make a stand against jihadist and call it terrorisim for what it is, the radical Muslim’s will continue to drain the economy, and we will continue to try to bandage the wound. You don’t stop an arterial blood loss, unless you apply direct pressure on the wound.. Gen. Pershing had the right idea.
The venerable model 1911 .45 ACP pistol was introduced in part because of experience in the Philippine rebellion. The army discovered that a 38 caliber bullet wouldn’t stop a Muslim tribesman in a drug-induced rage. The .45 ACP would.
In other words, we went back and got a bigger club. :-)
