Those are the alternatives Islam historically allows those it considers "devil worshippers" and "heathen," all unbelievers who are not "people of The Book."
This, the essential violence of "The Religion of Peace," its major failures in India and Southeast Asia of course did not permanently moderate.
Today, the world press calls it "genocide," though BBC, no doubt with an eye over its shoulder at the nearby British Muslim bearing a frown and a scimitar, is loathe this morning to call this slaughter of Yazidis a massacre without shudder-quotes.
Islam was born in Arabia with exactly this violence toward the paganism its first mission was to expunge, sired by the Charles Manson of monotheist madmen, Mohammed.
And the next time Geert Wilders compares The Koran to Mein Kampf and Islam to Nazism it will be harder to rush the real inconvenient truth of our time off the stage with catcalls of "racism!" and "Islamophobia!"
Meanwhile, the US needs some time off from the hard work of policing the world.
Let somebody else be indispensable, for a while.
