Don't give them an inch, don't let them think you are unwilling to fight back. Don't make their job easier. Israelis know Islam very well and don't plan to forget the lessons they've learnt. That is the mind-set we need to cultivate again in India.
Our ancestors who fought off the Muslim tyrants didn't do what they did so that today we can let all their hard work and their sacrificed lives waste away. Shameful. Unless we are willing to do the same, we don't deserve to utter their names. Honour their memory by following their example: no tolerance for intolerance, resist the Jihad and fight it back.
Pacifism works perfectly well with Jihad: they win with no effort, you lose with none.

Although Bush and I happen to see eye to eye on this statement, our reasons for doing so are totally different.
Bush, being a born-again Bible-thumping evangelical Christian that he is, has the auto-instilled Christian intolerance for Jews (Baptists still believe Jews murdered Christ, do not associate with them except to evangelize, and hate their guts in private) and does not believe that Jews will go to heaven. However, as a born-again god-fearing Christian who knows his Book, he also knows it is Biblical prophecy that whichever nation opposes the Chosen People when the latter are defending their land will be punished by god (and end up in hell). And that if the Chosen People do not inhabit Israel by the time of the Endtimes, all the world will go to hell. (Yet, Christians think this does not mean that the Chosen People have to all remain Jewish, so they want to evangelise the Isrealis slowly and turn the country Christian. But they are told that a few among the Chosen People have to remain unconverted at the Endtimes - to be punished by hell as foretold in the crazy Bible).
Interestingly, many Christians in the US still hate Israel and won't support it, but they are probably not as 'aware' of these Biblical injunctions, as Bush, aka the man who converses with Jehova (who told him to attack Iraq or was it Afghanistan?).
I got all this from a former Baptist Christian, so any phrasing that is mildly inaccurate or any statement that I've omitted to add would be entirely due to my not being able accurately repeat it.
