Words of Wisdom
MELANIE PHILLIPS: "If we are ever to defeat the global jihad against free societies, it is vital to tell that truth — that it is the West that is under attack. It is in that context that the Pope’s remarks must be seen — defending Christianity and western civilisation from an onslaught that has not just snuffed out many innocent lives, but seeks to snuff out freedom and truth itself."- Melanie Phillips The jihad against the Pope

Accurate. Truthful. Frightening.

I continue to say that Muslim overreaction is due to the fact that they can't intellectually defend their position and violence is the only way to get their way and they will do so until security forces stand up and react in kind. Of course, we can do nothing about what they and say and do in their countries but remind our populations of the fallacies of Islam and that Muslims don't have a leg to stand on.

Eleanor, I agree with your strategy 100%. It's the best way to proceed. I wouldn't give them an inch.
