I'm just an ordinary guy with an opinion (SURPRISE) who is curious what you all think about terrorism / ISLAMIST.
LET'S not get side tracked with buzz words like Domestic Terrorist. I would like this topic to be about Islam, Islamist, ONLY. If we cannot keep it civil, reduced to name calling, bitch slapping and general shenanigans. I will have the mods shut it down.


Now the question is Can America win the fight against Islamist, jihadist terrorist?

IMO we will likely end up in a draw OR as much as it pains me, lose in the long run against said Terrorist.

We can put blame on any administration one wants All have been complacent (one way or another) when dealing with Radical Islam / Terrorist. When you have a faction of government believe captured fighters should be tried in a US court / civilians. Rather than military court, our enemies know they have won.

When you have .gov representatives publicly announce terrorism is but a small section of Islam, they've won.

When you have a secularist portion of society, who castigate, condemn Christians and Jews , but Embrace Islam / Muslims as friends, we've lost.

We as a country do not have the stomach / fortitude to do what islamist / terrorist do, are trained to do and believe beyond a doubt, their way is a righteous and justified one.

Find me 1 thousand people (U.S citizens) who would strap on a vest or drive a vehicle loaded with explosives, in to a market place packed with civilians. I'm sure there are a fair amount of Tim McVeighs out there, but doubt we'd get enough to do it daily, for years on end. Or who truly believe that kind of violence is the answer to wiping out the opposition.

Another reason Islamist / Terrorist may win, population. Their desire to eradicate the Infidels off the face of the earth, has given them a drive like no other. One family member dies in pursuit of Allah's approval , the blood line is more than willing to carry on.
Even when it comes to sectarian violence, they unite against the infidel.

I apologize in advance for the scattered train of thought. However i've rewritten this numerous times, this was the shortest version i could come up with.
Feel free to add on one way or another.
