Call me a liberal or whatnot, but I don't believe more than 0.01% of European muslims would risk their lives for such a looney cause.
The reason you believe they won't, is because you are liberal.
You are trying to percieve what the Muslims are thinking from a secular point of view, thats not going to work, and you are dead wrong.
You are saying they wont follow what they earnestly believe in. Sure they won't. :roll:
You totally underestimate their belief in their own religion. What is looney to you, is truth to them. When this guy comes most of them will drop everything to follow him.
These points appear somewhat valid but everything is sketchy at best...then again, so is most hypothetical stuff?
If they are somewhat valid, then it can happen. With a billion Muslims wanting it to happen there is a good chance it will.
Biggest proof? Unfortunately I' m not the Supreme Commander of EU armed forces (although my avatar depicts the GLA Leader from the game Command & Comquer Generals, the GLA being one of the three world powers in the game). If I was, I would certainly attempt to implement some EMP countermeasures and I'd try to push politicians to also have civilian emergency EMP procedures. But I still don't believe an attack such as the one you describe is probable at all.
Even if you were commander, here you are, and you are mocking this and you say you are going to impliment it. Yeah sure.
For you to impliment this, you will first have to take this threat seriously, and you don't. You are contradicting yourself by saying you will implement this.
Muslim countries don't have as many of the latest generation western battletanks (e.g. M1, Leclerc, Leo2) as Europe does. Germany alone has over 2000 Leo2 (they are also employed by Sweden and the Netherlands), France has several hundred Leclerc and I think Britain has over 1000 Challenger 2 and Italy has a few hundred C1.
Saudi Arabia and Kuwait have a few hundred Abrams, Oman or Qatar or both have some Leclercs. The other western battletanks they have are obsolete, like Leo1 or M60 tanks.
Britain only has about 200 chalengers, from last I heard. Even if those numbers are true, that doesn't mean this Empire won't be buying more in the future. What they have now is no indication of what they can buy later. They will buy as much Western tanks as they can get their hands on, which may end up to equal that of the West.
Only if you believe in prophesies that have been written down over 1000 years ago by someone who was having an acid trip (or whatever hallucinogenic they had at the time), which I don't.
I don't believe them either. Are you surprised?
But the Muslims believe them.
What I beleive is their belief to see that this comes true.
So it doesn't matter what you or I believe. Its what they believe that will make this happen.
1. Mohammed lived 1400 years ago. Whatever he said is pretty outdated.
2. Read my point above.
3. Not all muslim men regard women as totally inferior and stuff. For that they wouldn't risk a war against a power like Europe which isn't even threatening them that seriously.
4. I thought the "Christian Arch enemy" was mainly the USA.
To most all Muslims it is not outdated.
No wonder you have absolutely no understanding of this, you are considering what they believe form your point of view.
Its like 4 foot guy talking to a 6 foot guy on the phone about a 5 foot guy. The 4 foot guy tells the 6 foot guy to look for a guy who is tall. The 6 foot guy looks and looks but doesn't find him because the 5 foot guy is shorter than the 6 foot guy. But to the 4 foot guy the 5 foot guy is tall. You are basicly doing the same thing, their point of view is not the same as yours.
It is traditional for Muslims in a jihad to take the women they capture as wives or slaves. Not only that, they still hold the crusades against the West.
Okay let's make a deal. If this kind of attack doesn't happen within the next 20 years, I get to laugh at you on this message board and if it does....well let's say I won't have access to a working computer for you to laff at me. So I win either way
If it doesn't happen you can laugh at me here, but I won't mind, because I don't want this to happen, but I'm pretty sure it will.
But if I'm right---You won't win either way.
You'll either be dead, fighting in foxhole with mud up to your eyeballs, or you'll be forced to bow down and kiss the dirt towards Mecca five times a day.
