The problem that people in the West are having a hard time getting their heads around is what we are going to have to do. The level of fanaticism that we are up against is not something that is going to be solved with a good talking to. The only thing we can do with the fanatics is kill them.
There are over a billion Muslims, if only one percent of them are hardcore fanatics that is ten million that we are going to have to kill. If the number of fanatics is ten percent, then we are going to have to kill over a hundred million people.
Right now we are not killing them fast enough. We are going to have to kill on a massive scale to get this solved, but a lot of people are in denial and refuse to accept that.
I’m sure you have a solution to that last problem, too.

Since this has become a chain letter this is a reply to all of you.
I was not proposing a solution, I was making an observation. Which I’ll restate in perhaps easier to understand language. A lot of people are seriously underestimating the scale of what we are up against. There is an attitude that what we are facing is just a tiny handful of kooks, it’s a couple of hundred people maybe a thousand at most. ie John Kerry saying that the war on terror should be down graded to a simple criminal matter. Where all we need to do is send out one or two cops with arrest warrants.
If you look at the numbers of Jihadists we are killing in Afghanistan and Iraq it is only a couple of thousand a year at most. We are not making a dent in the numbers. Yet people are whining about how the war in Afghanistan is dragging on and it may not be winnable.
This is a war of attrition where we are going to have to keep on killing Jihadists until there are non left. This is not something where we can merely hurt them enough that they agree to a cease fire, so we can go home and think it is over while they regroup.

…people just never learn, do they?
I mean, duh-uh…
If they just concentrated them, in some sort of camps, they could kill them at an almost industrial speed!
I tried to make a joke about someone honestly advocating to kill a hundred million people… maybe I’m just not jaded enough yet. [/quote]
No you didn’t try to make a joke, you tried to paint me as some kind of a Nazi for pointing out something that doesn’t pleasantly agree with your view of reality.
The Mumbai attack shows that the Jihadists are willing to cause such a catastrophe. The Pakistani government has said that it’s military to fight the Indian military if they attack the Jihadists in their territory.
There are over 170 million people in Pakistan. Pakistan has nuclear weapons. If they go to war with India and nukes get used the death toll will be in the hundreds of millions, it could even go over a billion. Events could take over and there would be no stopping it, the whole exchange could take place less than a day.
Then there is Israel and Iran, an exchange between them could kill almost a hundred million. Israel has enough nukes to trigger a nuclear winter.
In both of those cases the fallout would be raining down over the entire planet.

What is it about T-Nation that brings out these absolutely insane thoughts and people? [/quote]
Thanks for proving my point about how much in denial people are.
So let me guess about you. You are one of these people who think that all we need to do with the Jihadists is give them a good talking to and they will change their ways. You think that their deeply held religious convictions can easily be changed by saying the right thing to them. The reason why you believe that is because you buy the PC line that the Jihadists have somehow misinterpreted their religion. So if we can simply give them the politically correct interpretation they will see things our way.
There are over a billion muslims. Just one tenth of one percent is over one million. Just recently in Britain The Centre for Social Cohesion did a survey of Muslim college students it found that “Nearly one third of Muslim students believe it can be acceptable to kill in the name of religion”.
If we use their statistic of over 30 percent, then the number of people who need killing is well over 300 million. So Based upon actual surveys that have been conducted I was seriously understating the number of people who will need killing.
Last but not least I would say if anyone is insane it is people from Pakistan going over to India and committing acts that could start a war between two nuclear powers. I would say it is even more insane for the President of Pakistan to announce that the Pakistani military was ready to fight the Indian military if they chase the Jihadists into Pakistan.
And you most certainly are insane of you think the Jihad is going to end without massive bloodshed.
