This article by Robert Spencer of
Jihad Watch gives a pretty concise summary of the Muslim religion and explains why they will never sit down and do lunch with us. They are committed to subjugating us or eliminating us; those are the only two options as they see it.

They also can't be trusted to comply with any agreement they make with us, as they don't consider promises made to or agreements made with infidels (non-Muslims) to be valid. If you don't believe this, just look at the 60-year history of the "Palestinian problem" and you will see that they can't be trusted.
We will fight them in the Middle East or we will fight them in the midwest. Appeasement doesn't work; ask the Spaniards. Assimilation doesn't work; ask the French. Fighting them is the only thing that works. Black Jack Pershing had the solution. That is our only choice at this point. Hopefully, after they pop off a nuke in Chicago or Los Angeles, the appeasement cowards will wake up and understand that Churchill and Pershing (and Bush) are right and the gutless surrender-monkeys are wrong.
