So, is it time to take "the Martians" seriously yet?
Can we talk about Muslim extremists and radicalized political Islam without being called Islamophobic yet?
What is the number of so called "Islamic States" which need to be established before we can discuss the problem of expansion of Muslim extremism and its effect on both the Muslim world and the world in general.
How many countries need to be torn asunder or destroyed before the conversation is allowed?

Rebels seek to make northern Mali world’s newest Muslim state
Group with links to al-Qaeda pledges to form new country based on Islamic law

BAMAKO, Mali (AP) — The two rebel groups that seized control of the northern half of Mali announced Saturday that they have agreed to fuse their movements and work together to create an independent Islamic state on the territory they occupy, a signatory to the agreement said.

Alghabass Ag Intalla, one of the leaders of Ansar Dine, which is fighting to create an Islamic state, confirmed that his movement was joining with the National Movement for the Liberation of the Azawad, a secular rebel group led by Tuareg separatists. They signed the agreement in the northern town of Gao on Saturday evening, and celebratory gunfire rang out in both Gao and Timbuktu, another town under their control, as fighters heard the news.

I think a nuclear armed Caliphate would stabilize the world. A return to the highly successful mutual assured destruction would eliminate terrorism which is caused by powerless people with grievances against the powerful.

No sane person should have a gun in their home! Arm the Homeless!
