The Top Ten Results If America Became An Islamic State

The Islamo- terrorist threat, of wanting to take over the world is absurd on it's face, they have no modern technological advanced army, no standing army for that matter, it's a myth propped-up by elites, to pretext wars of agression, the real threat come from our U.S. leaders wanting to curtail personal freedom under the pretext of fighting terrorism.... the (terrorist)y hate us because of our freedoms...... so our politicians curtail freedom here in the U.S. by enacting laws allready waiting in the wings to curtail our personal freedoms, everyone in the U.S. becomes a suspected terrorist, even if you are blond-blue-eyed individual.

Info,

Don't take this the wrong way, but you sound like a bigger moron than you actually are.

are you totally stupid or just partially deluded? The people we are fighting have stated explicitly that they want us to convert or suffer the consequences. And why you think having a standing army is anything important is beyond me, but it shows you haven't studied this situation at all. You're just regurgitating the propaganda you hear from conspiracy nuts.
Let me briefly explain fourth generation warfare to you. A standing army is a hindrance when you are up against the best standing army in the world. But a standing army has some very real weaknesses that can be exploited by a dedicated guerrilla force. The U.S. tried to fight set-piece battles in Vietnam (and won whenever they managed to corner the enemy) but the vast majority of attacks were from guerrillas and insurgents. While they do not accomplish much, they are also difficult to stamp out. It's death by 1000 paper cuts versus the decisive blow. And it works. The only way for a standing army to counter guerrilla forces is to 1. Sustain their presence and outlast the enemy. 2. Offer incentives to the population for cooperation.
The Insurrection in the Philippines was dealt with in much the same manner. The old carrot and stick routine. But it requires political will that I feel is sorely lacking in today's average apathetic American.

So to sum up, yes there is a threat from these people. Yes they can and have spread their politics across the globe. No, they are not finished and will not be happy until they achieve their stated goal of converting or killing their opponents.

Is this common sense enough?
I would like to revise my earlier remark. in light of your comment and after doing some reflecting (I can't tell you how hard that is for me). It now seems that Info may indeed be as moronic as he appeared here.
Camel races sound pretty cool, but since I am a woman I probably would be banned from watching. Oh ... and we have them already at the County Fair.
