Koran = Evil

When the U.S Confederation government (circa 1786) sent Thomas Jefferson and John Adams to Tripoli to negotiate an end to the Barbary Pirates' illegal raiding of U.S. vessels, Tripoli ambassador Sidi Haji Abdrahamas told the two U.S. Diplomats that "It was written in their Koran, that all nations which had not acknowledged the Prophet were sinners, whom it was the right and the duty of the faithful to plunder and enslave; and that every mussulman who was slain in this warfare was sure to go to paradise".

Yep, and it's good to see that they've made such progress in the last 230 years. Douche-bag ragheads. To bad that when Thomas Jefferson became President (and refused to pay tribute, instead sending a United States Naval fleet to the Mediterranean where they bombarded the various fortified pirate cities, ultimately extracting concessions of fair passage from their rulers), he didn't instead wipe them out.

Or continue bombardment until maximum casualties were inflicted, at least. Today I'm thinking we should just nuke em. Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, etc. Ann Coulter said we should nuke them, and perhaps there's something to that idea. I mean, as a Libertarian I'm opposed to war, but you simply can NOT reason with these savages. So we might not have any choice but to annihilate them.

And, if we simply dropped a bunch of nukes it would be over and done with fairly quickly (no protracted war, costing the US blood and treasure). Sure, that would be genocide (and some peaceful ragheads might be killed), but who really gives a shit about the lives of backward barbarians? Not me, that's for sure.
