Default This is a MUST see, please watch

This was posted over on Cougarboard and I watched the entire documentary tonight and to say the least it is chilling.

I'd already held the viewpoint established in the documentary, but it really hit home for me.

Even the most hardcore politically correct apologetics can't be unphased by this.

It's about an hour and seventeen minutes long, but I suggest you watch it in it's entirety.

PHENOMINALLY chilling. I think the most important point here is that there is a belief system, with hundreds of millions of adherents, whose sole purpose is to destroy the west. A whole generation has been endotrinated. We all had better wake up.

Right now we are ignoring the true scope of the problem.

I think this is an exaggeration. Hundreds of millions. If so, I would think we would have already suffered a second 9-11.

Remember, OBL wants us to be inflamed. He wants us to believe this is WWIII. He wants us to believe that we are at war with "hundreds of millions" and to act as such.

We need to work on empowering the moderates, and splitting off the radicals. Unfortunately our experiment in Iraq does not bode well for the future.

So if there's 1.3 billion Muslims and an estimated 15% or so are radical fundamentalists...does that still make it an exaggeration?

Even if it were an exaggeration it certainly doesn't lessen the danger nor threat. Not by a long shot.

Very chilling.

I don't like the over-reliance on examples from Palestinians in the Occupied Territories. Occupation tends to radicalize populations. I wonder how many Palestinians would sing the same tune if a satisfactory solution were found to their plight.

Also, as I've said before, the riots in France were very far from evidence of a clash between civilizations or part of the radical Islamist war against the West. There were very legitimate economic reasons behind the unrest.

That said, the anti-Semitic, anti-American, anti-west themes promulgated in places like Iran, UAE, Saudi Arabia, by groups like Hezbollah, and in the Arabic media is very disturbing. Sadly, they reap what they sew and it is the innocents that pay the price (as at Qana). Worse yet, I doubt Hezbollah bats and eye at those civilian casualties, hypocritically counting all as good in the propaganda war against Israel and by extension, the West.

As my Lebanese friend said, I only fear the Israelis will not go far enough to take care of the problem.

When they reap what they sew is that stuff like those mittens that have connected by a string, and you run the string through the inside of your overcoat, so you don't lose your mittens?

Yes, exactly.

My wife, over my protests, would buy those for my boys. Very immasculating.
