What would you propose "the West" do? Who is "the West?" Should "we" go to war with every predominantly Muslim nation? Should we take over their government? How would that go? Would that prevent terrorism or create more terrorism?
Why aren't Christians from all hemispheres lining up to confront these demonic dictators instead of relying upon (and admonishing) "Western" leadership to do so? Is your god so weak that it must work through the most bureaucratic process possible?
"You are metaphysicians. You can prove anything by metaphysics; and having done so, every metaphysician can prove every other metaphysician wrong--to his own satisfaction. You are anarchists in the realm of thought. And you are mad cosmos-makers. Each of you dwells in a cosmos of his own making, created out of his own fancies and desires. You do not know the real world in which you live, and your thinking has no place in the real world except in so far as it is phenomena of mental aberration." -
