Does anyone in this world with an ounce of civility not understand that those people that can commit these atrocities toward others are at war with everyone else? These men beheaded American civilians who were reporting the war in the name of Allah and shouting Allah Akbar and we still refuse to see they are at war with us, they will keep killing until someone stops them. This is not over the lack of Jobs and this is not over Oil, these people are acting on the word as they see it in the Koran which makes them righteous and right in the eyes of their God and nothing we do other than kill them will stop them from this belief.
Is this the majority of Islam, I do not know but I doubt it, yet I am reminded that only 7% of Germans during WWII were Nazi’s. If only 10% of those that practice Islam are radical in nature we are talking about millions of people with the desire to kill everyone in the world that does not believe as they do and they believe God is on their side. This is a movement that once ingrained into a culture as it is today will have only one of two possible outcomes, the end of the rest of us or the end of the radical movement through death. They are choosing the path that this movement is taking not the world at large, when they kill without remorse and trial in the name of God they have chosen how they will be dealt with.
We can continue to treat this movement as children who can be taught a different path but that will end in the death of those who are attempting to help or we can treat them as adults who have chosen to stand opposed to a peaceful coexistence. These men and women who have chosen to radicalize Islam have chosen war for themselves because they see it as the shortest path to God. In the words of a marine I once knew, it is time for our nation and all the rest of those seeking peace to arrange a meeting between God and all those that believe as ISIL does, it is only then the world will have any safety again, it is only then that we will be able to deal with the other problems we as nations have and it is only then those that choose this path will understand the consequences of choosing warfare as a solution to anything.
