And every day has its dawn and every bird its nest, etc.
I'm no big fan of any religion, and history does show that many major religions have had their periods of blood on the walls.
The issue at hand, though, is that right now, there is only one big religion on the face of the planet that breeds violence like a dungpile breeds maggots. And the Chairman of its Board is called Allah.
Islam is at a cusp right now. And it's not coming out smelling too good. There are a billion Muslims on the planet.
A billion.
If there are, say, only 100,000 serious knife-wielding martyrs, then that's .01% of Muslims who are dickheads that need stomping by the other 99.99%.
.01%. How hard could that be?
On the other hand, if there are more, say 1,000,000, or even 10,000,000, then we start moving into serious territory. But if there are that many, then the issue of "what the heck is wrong with Islam that it's breeding so many fanatics?" rears its head again.
So either Islam is a very dangerous religion that must be guarded against, like Nazism, or Muslims need to start their own Reformation and split visibly into two Supersects - the ones that want to kill me, and the ones that don't give a crap about me. Then we kill the ones that want to kill me.
