In accordance with principles in the Koran and Hadiths, it is necessary to impose this on any and all people whenever practical. It can be achieved by violence or through the ballot box ("one man, one vote, once"). What is your point? Are you able to define the "Marxist movement" that screwed up the world for most of the 20th century? The initial Western reaction to that included much apathy and even admiration. It turned out to be very deadly and a huge setback for liberty. Political Islam has a similar potential for loss of life, liberty, and property.

Do they have a website? ---------------------------- Deterrence was a Cold War policy. It led to the deaths of 50 - 100 million people worldwide during those years, as well as two generations of people living under totalitarian regimes. It cost the US $10 - 15 trillion to maintain its deterrent military force. It would have been better to take care of the Soviets in 1946, BEFORE they had nuclear weapons. If that were done, the world today would be richer, safer, and FREER. Stop the anti-libertarian political Islamist movement now, before we get another deadly cold war.
