&gt; This is a war of civilisations and way of life. and trust me. the peaceful one, the one that always say sorry for everything is not going to win.<p>As long as you see the world in terms of &#x27;your kind of people&#x27; and &#x27;my kind of people&#x27; you are to some degree part of the problem. This is not a war of &#x27;civilizations&#x27;, though it could very well turn into one if we lose our calm.<p>Unfortunately, given the technological edge and the willingness to defend &#x27;my kind of people&#x27; will eventually - reluctantly, hopefully - switch to a different mode which will make the crusades look like a picnic outing. The problem is that IS and company are waking something up that they have absolutely no way to deal with and it would be <i>far</i> better for everybody involved if this did not come to pass.<p>But with the number of people clamoring to have this out by the bikeshed it may already be too late. Until then &#x27;<i>our</i> kind of people&#x27; should do their best to derail this conflict before it becomes mass-murder&#x2F;civil war on an unprecedented scale and to find another solution.
