I'm confused, what is the point of the OP?

The point I got from it is that extremists don't succeed. But no one takes them on before they have committed an inexcusable number of atrocities.

I think the only one on here who is very proactive regarding islamic terrorists is OSB. His posts indicating that once they have done lip service to Al Quaida, they are now terrorists, and we need to take action. That is about as far reaching as it gets anywhere I have ever been. I have actually been engaged in conversations with people who think it is a person's constitutional right to pledge themselves to AQ under the freedom of speech doctrine. But there are limits, and joining a terrorist group should be over the limit. They are not merely disagreeing with what we say, they are out to destroy us and I don't think we should wait until they do to fight them.

According to the article it is 'peace loving people' who do not take up arms against those who commit atrocities. I have read many times that Americans turned their heads any time there was a train taking Jews to the concentration camps. We know. We do nothing. Until the enemy is formidable. Then the casualties are so great as to shame us because we did nothing for so long.
