Pretty much.

What are they going to do?  We already have more than 100 thousand troops over their.  Plus our Navies.  And we have nukes.  Its a dumb question, tbh.

I'd support people who support freedom of mind, body, and trade. I would not support a religion whose founder made it for his own petty interests.

Islam has nukes, if some extremist leader got craaazy with it; in this fictitious 'world Islamic war' scenario... they could do some nasty damage .

But yes, we'd trounce them just based on resources and power alone. Morally and ethically I would support the West. We've had a dirty hand dabbling in the Middle East since God/Allah-knows-when... but I don't think our (corrupt?) dealings in the Middle East fairly demands a world-wide war or crisis.

Crappest OP ever. Why would I support countries that want to kill me? And why would all the Islamic countries join up to try to destroy the west? It'd be like Africa coming together to invade South America.

Are you going to side with a people who may or may not have nuclear weapons or a people who have nuclear weapons coming out their ears in all sorts of James Bondish locations?

I want to meet the 7 idiots that voted for "Islam".  Sure, let's have a land of burkas, sand, camels and a 1 way ticket to hell.  C'mon.  While we're at let's not discount the luxury of getting to blow yourself up.  Which 7 idiots want that?  Heck, it's no wonder why all the Muslims move over here.  Even they don't like the Middle East. 

Personally I like the post above that talked about "British practice of strapping rebels to the mouths of cannons".   I think that sounds like a very good policy.  Better yet, stuff them in the cannon and see which one flies the furthest.  The winner gets shot.  The losers get drowned.  It could be a new Olympic sport.

Stupid OP.  Shows the crass misunderstanding of middle-eastern dynamics.  If you think religion is their "unifying cause" or ever could be, think again...possibly pick up a book on the subject not written by some right-wing shill.

I am not sure I can agree with you completely here.  They are able to unify (over religion) to some degree if there is a common enemy that prohibits them from advancing "their" religion.  Now I do not mean Islam as a whole, I mean each individual interpretation of Islam.  If the threat from outside is greater than a rival, they will band together to fight the outsider.  Once the threat is less than the threat of the rival, then they will turn on each other again. 

Islam is based on advancing the religion, never giving back gained land or minds.

And if you can give a single example since the Crusades when that has ever been the real motivator, let me have it.  Try not to confuse secular Arab nationalism (and its hundreds of variations), tribal demagoguery (and the thousands of variations), ethnic/racist pride (and the hundreds of variations), and Islamic fundamentalism (and their hundreds of variations).  To try to simplify and put every anti-Western movement under the banner of "Islam - Fuck Yeah!", is just plain stupid.  Its one of the key reasons behind the Iraq mess right now...when policy-makers start to believe their own ignorant propoganda. 

Its like saying the Baathists and Al Qaeda were butt buddies, or that the PLO and Hezbollah are the same group because they hate Israel and hang out at the same pubs, or that the Saudi princes and mujahadeen love each other (they need each other, but thats a different topic), or that somehow the Malaysian, Indian, and Chechnyan muslims will pool resources to launch a real invasion of anything.

Its an absolutely fantastic claim.  More fantastic is that the crap gets repeated like an urban legend with no historical context and the kids in the West become not all right.

The West. Although I'm no islamophobe, a declaration of war against the west would be an idiotic and suicidal move. I would support the west, but I would hope that there was an understanding that not every muslim was an enemy...
