tweaker2, all actions done to try to avoid a huge conflict with the Islamic world, on a world war 3 type scale, are ultimately a bad thing.
It SOUNDS great to try to avoid something like that... of course it does.
But I think if you really look at it you'll realize that it either comes to a head like that, and is decided in a dramatic conflict like that, or the slow death for the west is inevitable as more and more immigration happens, they reach a critical mass of power in one western country after another, and dismantle civil rights, women's rights, freedom of speech, gay rights, freedom of religion, freedom of association, etc etc in one country after another.
All the while as liberals run interference for them and try to quell the rage of a dying civilization. Rage which should not only not be quelled, but yes, should be fanned and encouraged. A huge bonfire of korans sounds like a great start.
If I thought the Islamic world and the west could co-exist, and we could just wait for them to catch up to modern times... that'd be fantastic. I'd go for that.
I don't believe that is possible, co-existence is not their mindset. Conquest is.
