Islamists’ Win-Win

In the radical Islamist’s culture, whether they succeed in conquering their foe or they die, they still win;


Unlike Christianity where our approach is love and voluntary conversion by thoughtful consideration, Islam is a theocratic cult that uses the force of the sword and offers death as an alternative to conversion. For more than 1,300 years, this is the pattern that has made Islam what it is today.

I recently heard an interesting theory that may be the reality we face when trying to combat Iran and all Islamists.


 This is a hard fact that we in western civilization either can’t or refuse to wrap our heads around. In the radical Islamist’s culture, whether they succeed in conquering their foe or they die, they still win. If they conquer their foe, they will have a happy life. If they die in the attempt to conquer their foe, they are a martyr, and they go to their martyr’s reward of 72 virgins, so they still win.

That is why negotiations with Islamists is never a win for western powers. The powers to be in Iran are prepared to fight to the last man standing. Delay, delay, delay is a win in the minds of the radical Islamists running the fighting machine in Iran. The only way western civilization, specifically the U.S. and Israel, will win this war is to bomb the infrastructure and Islamist fighting force in Iran to a point where the Islamists can no longer protect themselves from the Kurds and Persians that are willing to effect regime change.

Then the world will help rebuild Iran when a civilized western sympathizing government comes to power in Iran.
