If you want to know what evil looks like, go check out a picture of Sheikh Omar Bakri Mohammed. This guy needs to be taken care of.

"But I think that would be political suicide for the British government if they started to deport and imprison all extremists and radicals," he said.

"Because if, God forbid, something happened again, they would have nobody left to blame."

Twisted logic, and I hesitate to even give it the benefit of being considered "logic". If there were no extremists and radicals, I would wager that attacks in the name of Allah would diminish to a very small number - perhaps zero. I think we can all do without extremists and radicals, no matter where we live.

Another thing - I know that the West is the bane of the Islamic world's existence. Free people don't always make the choices you may like. We truly can be a Godless lot sometimes, and that irritates the fire out of the absolutists demanding the forward march of Islamist imperialism. But that's how we intolerant Westerners are - we allow choices. And we take in countryless clerics and allow them to spew venom without restraint. Mohammed was even kicked out of Saudi Arabia for being too extreme!

If there is any question as to the superiority of our culture, let this be an example of what may end up being a self-defeating tolerance.
