Holy War over Schools

I have been hearing a lot about possible terrorist attacks on children, using our school system. The general idea is that Muslim extremists wish to cause a holy war because "their side" is not fired up enough, they don't have the support they need in order to win against the infidels. Their concept is to do something so horrific that the people of the United States will over-react, causing such division between Muslims and Infidels that they cannot avoid a world-wide holy war.

What is this horrific act? Apparently it has to do with hijacking and/or blowing up school busses packed with children, taking over elementary-level schools and doing the worst things you can imagine to the boys and girls before killing them, and even blowing up entire schools or releasing poisons or chemicals near the hijacked schools because people will "come to watch" and will be added to the death toll.

If this is not just a crackpot conspiracy theory, then the Muslim extremists are quite right: much of America will go completely animal. The extremists aren't actually targeting the young boys and girls who will be direct victims of brutality we would like to think doesn't exist in the world. They're targeting moderate Muslims. They're targeting those of Islam who actually believe it is a religion of peace. Those on the fence who are not strapping bombs to themselves and blowing up civilians, but who won't come out and condemn these acts. They want enough of those Muslims killed by wound-up Christians (not to mention atheists) that the rest of the moderates will join the holy war for their own protection. They aren't counting how many American children need to be raped and killed, they're counting how many Muslims need to be beaten to death by vigilante parents.

This scenario, again if it isn't just total mind-blanking fear tactics (and let me tell you I am afraid due to some things I will outline below), has three possible outcomes, two likely and one unlikely. The unlikely outcome is that infidels will cave in, implode and Islam takes over the world. The likely outcomes are not so good for the Islamic Extremists.

Outcome One: the lesser of two evils. I call this the lesser of two evils because in order for this to happen, the Extremists must have actually carried out such an unthinkable horror that nothing associated with it can actually be called "good". In this lesser of two evils case, the terrorist-extremists have finally crossed a line which the rest of us believe they crossed long ago: they so alienate their own Muslims that they lose all support and are hunted down by Muslims who see the possibility of Outcome Two. I admit I do not have much of an opinion of "moderate" Muslims. They should have spoken up long before now. They are either living in fear, which should make them question their own faith, or they are secretly supporters of these terrorists, which makes them extremists in sheep's clothing.

Outcome Two: they get the holy war they want. This will not go well for them. The world has a mistaken impression of the United States. Beyond that, Muslim Extremists have a mistaken impression of the non-Muslim world outside the United States. If there were one way to unleash, to actually remove all restrictions and inhibitions this country has against retaliation, it would be to attack our children. Not just attack them, but abuse them in the most horrifying ways first. The result would be genocide. And it would not be the elimination of the Christian faith. Mecca would be 20,000 degrees for 56 years. Medina? Gone. Islam would be eradicated from the world. If they actually succeed in igniting a holy war, it will be their complete and total end. Nobody but their own deluded selves could possibly believe they could win that war. Some of them are, actually, seeking the "end of the world". I do not believe they would get it, but I do believe an entire religion would be completely and violently erased from the face of the earth.

Please, Muslims, please wake up. Please pay attention to what is being done in the name of your religion. Yes, there were horrible things done in the name of Christianity, and there are places in the world where that is still a battle cry. There is a major difference: Christian nations and peoples denounce and work actively against those horrible religious crimes, and we shook off the dark ages. Please, please shake off your dark ages. Please wake up. It was hard, bloody, and often called for martyrs and sacrifices, but we managed to do it. Please, don't drive us down the path to Option Two.

Why am I actually afraid about this?

An alarmingly written article telling us not to worry while stating it is a threat

School busses and school bus radios stolen - but don't worry, the drivers are being trained to watch out for suspicious behavior

And this one is the Mac Daddy of the concept:

Think about yourself. If you got a call saying your child's bus or entire school had been taken over, the children had been raped and brutally murdered by men proudly proclaiming to be middle-eastern terrorists, all of whom were Muslim, what would your reaction be? How about if you only heard that the bus had been taken over - how would you react as you were forced to pay attention to the story? I suspect here in Texas there would be civilians with high-powered rifles trying to snipe the terrorists themselves, then shooting anyone with a tan or scraggly mustache/beard who looked 'Muslim enough'.

I sincerely hope they're not stupid enough to mess with our kids. We might kill atheists/Christians simply for opposing retaliation. The world would find out we're not 'bullies', we can be enraged bulls when our children are in danger.
