I just can't fathom the idea of hating so bad you're willing to blow people up.
They don't do it out of hate. They do it because it is their religious duty. Killing and/or being killed in the cause of jihad is the ONLY guarantee of paradise in Islam.
Sura 9:111 sums it up:
“Allah hath purchased of the believers their persons and their goods; for theirs (in return) is the garden (of Paradise): they fight in His cause, and slay and are slain: a promise binding on Him in truth, through the Law (Torah), the Gospel, and the Qur’an: and who is more faithful to his covenant than Allah?"
This verse claims that Allah also gave this command to the Jews and Christians in their holy books but, since those books do not contain this command today it is proof (for Muslims) that those books have been tampered with and are not reliable today.
True, but the US has decided that is the price we pay for oil. No one would care about mid-east if they had no oil. So, we need to drill more (raise supply - like Rs say), conserve more (lower demand - like Ds demand) and develop new technolgies. Till we are almost self-sufficent, we need to keep on paying the price.
Have anything factual to support this otherwise baseless, inane, asinine drivel?
When I said "cheer this" I was referring to the point I made about the USA is becoming a post-Christian society, not the attempted bomb plot. You deny that most liberals wouldn't cheer a decline in Christianity in the USA? I think some things are so obvious that they don't need documenting.
I have edited my post to clear up any misunderstanding.

I don't think most liberals give a rat's ass what (if any) religion anyone chooses to practice, what I think most would welcome is keeping it the hell out of government.

Well, that would certainly be a by-product of entering a post-Christian era but I think we are getting off track and risk derailing this thread so let's end that discussion here.

Actually this is the price we pay for catering to the environmental wackos who make it impossible for us to strive for energy independence through the exploitation of our own resources (oil, gas, coal) and the development of non-carbon-based energy alternatives (nuclear and hydro - I don't include renewables like solar, wind, tidal because those are a mirage, impractical and cost prohibitive).
