One of the really ignorant things liberals and much of the government do is blame Islamic violence on policies of the West. Actually Islamists do not believe in separation of religion and state, so they don't acknowledge national boundaries. And they believe that they have an obligation to either kill or subjugate all people who are not Muslims. It is a waste of time, and is even hazardous for us to try to figure out what we have done to cause the Muslims to attack us. The 'religion of peace' is perpetually outraged just by our existance. As President Bush has said, we offend them by just being who we are. We need to stop worrying about offending Muslims, and make it clear to them that we are not going to let them dominate us. We also need to make it clear to the Muslims in America (and the rest of the West) that we will not accept sharia law, and they need to either accept our laws or return to whence they came. We also need to recognize that mainstream Muslims want to kill us, and that those who do not are part of what they would call the marginal 'extremists.'

An example of the problem is illustrated by the recent terrorist attacks in Great Britain. The Press there can't bring themselves to identify the terrorists as Muslims, even though they have names like Abdullah and Mohammed. They refer to them as 'Asians.' So are people to assume that perhaps the terrorists are Hindus or Buddists. They don't want to further offend the 'religion of perpetual outrage.' We have to get over that. Islamists want to kill us, and our actions don't really affect that. We need to make it clear to them that they can't influemce our actions with their outrage. If the Queen of England wants to knight someone they don't like, well tough luck. If we want to insult Mohammed, well too bad. And we need to also make it clear that while we believe in freedom of speech (at least in America if not in Europe) we take seriously chants of 'death to America,' and will take decisive action if such are accompanied by terrorist attacks.
