The World is Indeed a Very Dangerous Place...

More dangerous in fact than I thought a mere moment ago.

Ideas are stronger and more powerful than any standing army for the simple reason that a sword thrust through the heart cannot kill it. For it is like a virus; spreading from man to man, mind to mind. It cannot be laid siege to. It cannot be starved, nor blinded, maimed, or strangled. The only thing that will kill an idea, is a larger, more powerful idea.

This impetus for my eloquence? The following post by Jamal at Opinionated Voice blog....

"Amidst much conjecture about the existence of Osama bin Laden and rifts in al-Qa`eda, a collection of the Saudi'’s statements has been published detailing the Most Wanted Terrorist's desire for the the US to convert to Islam, ditch its constitution, abolish banks, jail homosexuals, bar women from appearing in the press and sign the Kyoto climate change treaty. These statements I fully agree with and would lead to making the world a better place. In fact many agree with him on the idea to sign the Kyoto Treaty. However, he's already a legend and the publishers of the book are money motivated, without a care for the consequences. I'd much rather hear about a book encouraging the worldwide community of Muslims to educate themselves toward positions of power."

[emphasis mine]

This is why the War on Terror must be fought. It must be fought until the enemy tires, and grows sick of bloodshed... and not one moment before. Would somebody please wake the sleeping masses!!! Better for the world if Islam converted to Christianity.
