Remember the drawings in your high school history books of the British Red Coat Army during the American Revolutionary War standing shoulder to shoulder in a straight line formation waiting to catch some bullets fired at them from the camouflaged Colonialists?

Today, the western civilized world has traded in their red coats for an invisible bulls eye painted on our chest.

Heaven forbid we offend our Muslim friends, that would not be politically correct.. It is against our Christian values. After all, we are a civilized people and want to give others the benefit of the doubt. As our righteous President Obama is keen on reminding us, we should not judge the many for the actions of a few radicalized terrorists. Hmmm.

I believe the world wide population of Muslims today is 1.2 billion. It has also been determined that somewhere between 15 to 20% have been radicalized or are strict adherents of Sharia law. That would translate into well over 150 million Muslims at the lower range that would prefer to see our heads on the end of a stick than on our necks. That sounds like more than "a few" to me.

Time to separate the wheat from the chaff. Radical Islam is not diminishing....it is growing by the day.. It is Western civilization that is shrinking. Tough decisions lay ahead but need to be made before they can't. Passing the buck only puts off the inevitable but no politician wants to take responsibility for being the one to pull the trigger.
