Three problems I've consistently observed in this line of discussion for the past while.
1) It's an unwritten rule of internet debates that anyone who brings up comparisons to Hitler should automatically lose the debate. I tend to agree.
2) The dehumanizing aspect of this worries me, and I mean this not just for one side of this. There has been wonderful proof of the muslim threat, yes, and then come the extreme outbursts of 'let's get ourselves some 7.62mm ammo stocked up', and everyone is good and happy.
How are you better than your bad evil muslim friends this way? Assuming they're still back in the middle ages, you folks are rapidly calling all of us to go back there as well. Where's your justification for this?
3) Where is the solution? "The final solution"? Anything I've heard solution-wise to this is either a bad joke or a thinly-veiled allusion to genocide. I have seen plenty of reasonable and well-argued debate for the threat as such and the need for most people to realize it - only to be abruptly cut off by what I mentioned in point #2.
If you believe yourself to be a representative of a better civilization, then please come up with a better solution worthy of an enlightened European/Western culture. Otherwise, I suggest dropping the pretensions and declaring this an "East vs. West showdown, no holds barred, the winner gets to trample on the heads of the vanquished". End of story.
