To counter the people who declare we should kill all the Muslims. And who have done so for a lot longer than 11 years. To quote from this very forum:

Islam has produced garbage society and its people are garbage, they are ignorant and anti-education and this has caused a centuries long stagnation of all of their cultures. From the heights of the Ottoman Empire Islam has caused an intellectual and social decay that has made Muslim countries a backwards, barbaric, imbecilic laughing stock. Pathetic, grotesque, weak and stupid compared to even the most backward Western country.

They were raised irrationally and think irrationally, and are incompatible with our modern world. They should be segregated from the modern world and punished at every turn. I’d start with destroying all their water and electric facilities, as they do not deserve the benefit of modern utilities. We can let all their well trained engineers and scientists rebuild them.
