Absolutely. Islam *is* a religion founded on violence. After all, remember how they marched out of Arabia attacking country after country until they finally stopped at the Pyrenees mountains? It outrages me that people get upset with the Spanish for driving the Moors out of Spain. They wouldn't have had to drive them out of Spain if the Moors hadn't invaded Spain in the first place! Now the Wahabbi branch of Islam advocates, literally, taking over the world. That's the problem. I have no objections to anyone practicing any religion they like, until they try to make *me* practice it as well. There are certainly Muslims who are moderates and who do not advocate the use of violence to spread their religion, but there is *undeniably* a very large number of them who *do* advocate the use of violence to spread their religion. To them all I say is: we have the right of self-defense and intend to use it. Nor will we wait until you attack us again. We have the right to act preemptively against you and we will.
