I'm talking about plain old consumerism. What Islamic countries need to quit their violent, irrational fanaticism is more shopping. You cant wish to cut someone's head off for heresy when youre bloated on processed food and live in atrificially posh surroundings. Just look what its done for the Christians! Many used to be Inquisitionists and slave owners, now their angry, condemning god is a sweetie who makes allowances for material comfort! What the Middle East needs isnt pre-ermptive strikes that encourage more terrorist cells to pop up. What they need is some good old-fashioned shopping malls. Today, when the Feast of the Nativity is celebrated with shopping carts full of PlayStations and fruitcake, who has time to be violent?
