Modern Islam - A Death Cult?
In a post after Michelle Malkin returned from Iraq I saw this quote from one of our soldiers ‘These people (refering to the Iraqis) love death’. This statements appears to correlate well with the reverence muslims give to their suicide bombers who are eager to go to an early grave shouting ‘Allah Akbar’. In general, devote followers of Islam seem to have little regard for life prefering death by alleged martyrdom [if one can consider blowing oneself up with as many others as possible a work of piety].
Another thing that is brought to my mind is the war our country fought with a different people who seem to have the similar death cult wishes. Of course I am refering to the Japanese of WWII who would eagerly die for their cause rather than submit. The extreme example of this was the banzai pilots who flew planes loaded with explosives into our ships killing thousands of troops. This may have been the first large scale use of suicide bombers. I also remembered what our country thought it had to do to change this Japanese mindset, that is the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
What will it take to convince the muslims to abandoned their death cult? After 9/11 some suggested nuking Mecca and other muslim holy places. As the muslims develop real offensive military capability especially with nuclear weapons, some drastic measure such as that may be necessary.
