Should we be studying Arabic? The Russians always studied the language of their enemies, you know. Hopeful sign, seeing those cartoons. Should we be studying Arabic?

In that, at least, they resemble the Islamists. These are true fundamentalists, and like all who possess a utopian world view they want the entire world to embrace, they must be defeated. They cannot be converted, and If we waver in our purpose; if we allow them small victories in order to be reasonable or nice; if we imagine that some compromise is possible, we will lose; and they'll impose their own brand of fundamentalism first on our country, and then on the world.

There was a young Muslim couple in the US who told how important their religion was. The woman said that she wore the veil because she preferred it to the provocative western clothing that made women into sex objects. She then said that before her husband had askd her out, he asked her father for permission. They seemed like a nice couple, and I have no problem with their choices, but I couldn't help wondering whether they were fully aware that their choices wouldn't be allowed in the utopia of the radicals. I wonder how many Muslims are aware that in that utopia, the most brutal thugs set: the rules: no kites, no soccer games on TV, no tomatoes and cukes next to one another. And of course said thugs get to choose who is sacrificed. The cartons show that some lightbulbs are going on, but it's been a long wait. We can only hope the same happens with our leftie nuts.
