Since Muslims regard “non-Muslims” as “pigs and “dogs,” and not as wolves, it is not enough for the disciples of Muhammad to kill non-Muslims. The proud warriors of Allah must also degrade infidels, especially Christians, Allah’s most numerous and most powerful opponents and competitors.

That’s what the Islamic war cry “Allahu Akbar” means: Allah is the greatest of the gods.

Overweening pride is the distinctive character trait of Muslims, in contrast to Christians, who exalt humility. Thus, for Muslims to degrade Christians only accentuates the lowliness in which Christian’s take pride!

To the extent that the Christian ethos influences the attitude of American diplomats and American foreign policy experts, these Americans are entrapped in an ironic and deleterious situation when dealing with Allah’s faithful. This is one, but not the only, reason why I oppose negotiations with Muslims.

In relating to the warriors of Allah, one should employ an uncompromising and coercive “either-or” approach.

Of course, such a modus operandi goes against the grain of liberals and democracies whose media are fond of Benjamin Netanyahu’s negotiating ideal of “reciprocity,” a concept utterly foreign to Islam.

Reciprocity is so foreign to Islam that its adoption by Muslims would be equivalent to a renunciation of their religion!

Yet this is precisely what is logically and politically entailed by the policy of “territory for peace” pursued by every Israeli prime minister from Yitzchak Rabin to Netanyahu, along with their countless experts in political science!
