Here's a twist to that: I'm inclined to believe that a perspective where one is resigned to being at war with the entire culture of Islam is, in a sense, advocating a jihad scenario. Otherwise, these people would be doing everything in their power to avoid it. Instead, we see views such as the quotes in the OP spread around, creating more and more hate between cultures, thus aiding the notion that a jihad is on its way. It serves no purpose but make the chances of war greater, does it not?
That's the impression I'm getting from the convesative side of this discussion, at least. I sense that you guys have abandoned all hope that a war with Islam could be avoided, and are now of the belief that the only outcome must and will be all out war. Perhaps that is the key difference in the perspectives in this thread.
