Mayans and Muslims
The Mayans had some really neat art forms, civilization, yada yada. Pyramids! They also practiced human sacrifice, but hey, that was their culture and we mustn't be judgmental. These wonderful folks are all dead. The Spanish took care of them. Does anyone wonder why the other mesoamerican tribes allied themselves with the Spanish invaders? Perhaps they didn't want to be human sacrifices--just guessing, of course.
I would suggest that today's Islam operates under the same value system as the Mayans. Their vengeful god demands human sacrifice, only in this case the humans in question are non-muslims. Their god is the meanest in the Pantheon. The Greek gods were pussycats compared to him.
We are wrong in considering Islam one of the Abrahamic faiths, a religion of peace as our leaders keep repeating ad nauseam. They are not like the Christians or the Jews, who consider all humans made in the image of God, all worth redeeming. They are like the Mayans, a warrior religion which wants to rid the world of non-Muslims. If we don't get tough with them, they will outnumber us soon.
