Fred:

I think that I can put the point somewhat differently, if you don’t mind. The essential difference between the Crusaders and the Inquisition, on the one hand, and the jihadis in various wars right up until the present day on the other, is that the violent Christians were very poor Christians going against the chief commandment of the founder; and the violent Muslims were and are exemplars, going along perfectly with the commandments of theirs.

And that is why the problem of Muslim violence is only going to be solved in one of three ways, one of which is completely unacceptable to me and presumably all the people reading this blog. That one is for us to give in and let Islam take over the world. The more acceptable solutions; for Islam to have a reformation that changes their religion utterly and removes the violence from its fundamental tenents. And the last one, one set out by Wretchard quite some time ago and unfortunately (for them, obviously, but also for us) most likely; they all die. Every last stinking, intolerant, neck-chopping SOB one of them.
