I suppose it would be a wonderful idea to define your them and your thus before you decide we are all enmeshed in a lethal battle, now wouldn't it? Martians?

How about defining all of Earth as "us" and the evils of rampant mass and acceleration as "them"? That'd give you something worth conquering.

Are you really going to suggest to a rational audience (assuming you have one) that any Muslim is part of a "them" dedicated to the wiping out of "us" meaning any Christian? Or is it a world division to the death between brown and white skins you imagine is at work here? Pray tell what are the details of this nightmare in which you find yourself swept up side by side with Martin Gibson, the embodiment of rational analysis?

Perhaps you would like to argue that it is "us or them" because letting Arabs survive in peace would, of course, impede the End Times and prevent the fulfillment of God's Plan for the sweeping up of all remaining shards of shattered humanity? Terrible pity, that.

Seriously exactly what is the Terrible Battle you see in your mind that moves you to consider you are locked in an "us-or-them" annihilation struggle?

I'm all for winning the battle of Good versus Evil, fellas, but I think we have to have our eyes open first.
