One of the best lines I've read in the blogosphere comes from my good friend Robert Avrech, at Seraphic Secret:

The West, sooner or later, must understand that in order to defeat those who claim that Islam is the solution, are, in effect saying: Islam is the Final Solution.

Here is the rest of this excellent post:

Christmas Message

The Persian Christmas message for suspected homosexuals.

This is what you get when the chattering classes, deeply steeped in Jew hatred, embrace multi-culturalism and moral relativity: an alternative Christmas message from Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad , in, what a shock, Britain, where Jew-haters sing anti-Israeli Christmas Carols in Church.

But Dorothy Byrne, Channel 4's head of news and current affairs, defended the choice. "As the leader of one of the most powerful states in the Middle East, President Ahmadinejad’s views are enormously influential," she said. “As we approach a critical time in international relations, we are offering our viewers an insight into an alternative world view."

Okay, so what are some of the, ahem, alternative views of this influential world leader? Let's rewind:

1. Deny the Holocaust.

2. Promise a new Holocaust.

3. Finance and equip Hizbullah, a proxy army, to achieve #2.

4. Hang suspected homosexuals, adulterers, and natch, Zionist spies, in the public square.

5. Sieze British sailors and hold them hostage and make sure to display them on TV as tools of Islamic propaganda.

6. Hang Christians.

7. Murder 240 American Marines.

8. Eliminate and persecute members of the Baha’is.

9. Declare war on America.

10. Gradually, but ruthlessly eliminate the Persian-Jewish community.

Seraphic Secret has long maintained that the Western attempt to “understand” the views of Islamic Jew-haters bent on genocide is to legitimize such totalitarian views.

It is not a virtue to be tolerant of the intolerant. It is, in fact, suicide.

The Islamists are fighting a total war against the West: multiple wars of terror across the globe—anchored by the war against Israel's existence—and in the West, a propaganda/media war—aided by useful idiots—to undermine democratic institutions and values. Most dangerous, the Islamists are enabled by a dinosaur media, careerist intellectuals and politicians.

Here's what you need to understand: evil exists and it must be eradicated.

America and her allies recognized the evil of Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan and both countries were bombed into nothingness.

The West, sooner or later, must understand that in order to defeat those who claim that Islam is the solution, are, in effect saying: Islam is the Final Solution.

The West will then have no alternative but to reduce the radical Islamic world to ashes. Because sometimes war is the answer.
