If they make a grab for the Kuwaiti and Saudi oil fields, will the US fight a nuclear armed foe? Unlikely, especially if Iran has the missiles to reach Europe . If the Iranians have nukes, the Saudis will begin to doubt the ability of the Americans to protect them. So the Saudis will think about protecting themselves and seek to acquire them too. Since the time of Roosevelt to the present day, the House of Saud relied on American protection. In exchange, they ensured that the world has adequate supply of oil. American protection gives the US some leverage in securing some co-operation against terrorism. The Saudis are caught in between the US and the terrorists (or Islamo-fascists) like Osama bin Laden. To the Islamo-fascists, friendship with unbelievers makes you an infidel too.

Did the Koran not say, "Do not take Christians and Jews for your friends..." [1]Thus they co-operate just enough to keep the US off their backs. If the value of US protection declines then co-operation against Al-Qaeda will also decline. They will conclude that it is better to acquire  their own nukes than to depend on the US who is unlikely fight against a nuclear armed Iran . The time is fast coming that Iran can make their own nukes. Military action is needed.

5)The Ideological Front

I have save this for last because this is the most important front in the war against Islamo-fascism. Sun Tzu (or Sun Wu) once said:

"The Moral Law causes the people to be in complete accord with their ruler, so that they will follow him regardless of their lives, undismayed by any danger. " [2]

Sun Wu placed the Moral Law as the first of five factors that must be in your favor before going to war. What he meant was that the people must be sure that their cause is just and know what is at stake. When a leader is asking people to make sacrifices, they must understand why they are fighting and convince them that their sacrifices are worth it. Without this, none of the earlier "Fronts" I listed is going to work. This is because each "Front" requires some sacrifice from the people. If we ask people to conserve energy by having a gasoline tax or to pay more for alternative energy, they are going to ask why.

If we have to sacrifice Taiwan and Ukraine to win over China and Russia in the war against the Islamo-fascism, they also want to know why. If we are going to restrict Muslim immigration, they also want to know why. Lastly, if we need to go to war to prevent Iran from acquiring nukes, they definitely want to know why.

Unfortunately, western governments like the US and British governments are not doing a good job on the ideological front. They are ham-strung by the need for political correctness and also the need not to offend moderate Muslim countries that we need as allies. Recently, it was revealed the FBI is monitoring mosques in the US for radiation. This has brought complaints about profiling from Muslim organizations.

Monitoring mosques is perfectly sensible because Islamo-fascism is an ideology that is rooted in their interpretation of Islam. Thus it makes no sense to monitor churches, Hindu or Buddhist temples because they pose no danger. Yet the FBI must walk on egg-shells on this issue. In so doing, the people are still in the dark on the danger that the civilized world faces. That is why sites like Jihadwatch, Faithfreedom, Barnabus Fund, Annaqed, SecularIslam and others play an important role in filling the gap. The world must know about Islam and its scriptures and how they are being used to incite hate and terrorism.

What if our governments fail to defeat the Islamo-fascists? What if Iran produces several nukes and passed them to Al-Qaeda? Al-Qaeda then destroys New York and then threatens to destroy another six cities unless we cave in? What do we do?

In case of fire break glass

Desperate situations call for desperate solutions. In such a situation, we need to take out the brass knuckles. Fortunately, Islam has a weakness that can cause it to come crashing down. According to scholars, the Surat Al Fil in the Koran refers to an attempted destruction of the Ka'aba in the Year of the Elephant. The Yemeni ruler, Abraha wanted to destroy the Ka'aba in retaliation for his cathedral being defiled by a Muslim. He assembled a huge army which included elephants to attack Mecca . [3]

His elephants refused to enter the holy city and fled home. Then Allah sent a flock of birds which dropped hardened clay on Abraha's army, destroying it and killed Abraha. Thus Muslims believe that Allah protects Mecca . If this is proved false, their faith crashes. If you find it hard to believe that a 1,400 year old faith can suddenly end, you only need to look at another "religion" that is older than Islam which ended suddenly.

I am referring to the Emperor worship of Japan . For thousands of years, Japanese believed the Emperor was a god and they worshiped him. They also believed that the gods protect Japan and therefore they cannot be conquered. This gave them the courage to attack the USA which at that time had a GDP 15 times that of Japan . It also gave them the courage to become suicide bombers. Remember the kamikaze pilots?

After their cities were destroyed and Japan occupied, they suddenly stopped believing the Emperor to be a god, ending a faith that lasted many thousands of years. What Bush can do in an emergency is to issue a challenge which will lead to either Islam's final triumph or it final defeat. Give Meccans three days to evacuate the city after which a nuclear missile will be fired at it. Tell Muslims that if Allah saves the city again, the whole non-Muslim world will definitely convert to Islam in the face of such a miracle. Islam will finally triumph and dominate the world which Muslims believe will eventually happen. 

If Allah fails to save the city, then Islam is false and there is no need to fight anymore. After all, there are no Heavenly Virgins awaiting martyrs who fight for Islam. I can imagine the fundamentalists telling the Meccans not to leave. Any who leaves the city is not a true believer and must be killed. Some will actually fly to Mecca to witness the expected miracle which will lead to Islam's glorious triumph. I think they will be disappointed - IF they survive the destruction.
