People thinking that "we're" (who is we're, exactly?) at war with Islam (which no one really thinks, but whatever) seems to anger you quite a bit. Why is that?

You seem like you don't read the number of thread that confirmed that many people on this forum believe that we're at war with Islam and Muslims but not at war with extremists !

That's backwards. THEY are at war with us. Their religion calls for conversion or death for every non-muslim.

Sorry, you have it backwards, we are over there with our military , so Jordan , Saudia Arabia and other US allies are at war with us ? you got something wrong !!
Sorry, you don't know that all religion call for wars , it is not specific to Islam but that's not the issue.
Are we fighting the extremists or are we at war with all Muslim countries ?

You are arguing semantics.

I want terrorists dead that use religion as an excuse for their excesses.

Some moderates are stepping up to the plate.

The idiot in the WH has a golden opportunity to capitalize on that but if recent history is to judge, he will do nothing again. Why I call him an idiot.

Talking Only idiots want to start a holy war with Islam

The morons on the so-called "religious right" fail to grasp the fundamental reality that the USA is not in the business of holy wars.

Corporate wars for profit? Absolutely.

Holy wars? Who gets rich from holy wars?

Carry on.

Morticians, undertakers, grave diggers and cemetery owners.

Oh, and florists.

Hallmark too, I suppose.

I kinda doubt there are many of those getting rich in the middle east, though.

.

Yes because many don't understand the terminology too. Not some moderate , the majority of these countries are fighting extremism, don't try to play the numbers, the majority of victims are Muslims in first place.
You use insulting word for the President because you don't agree with him, I disagree with him on few issues, I don't call him names !
So why don't you call Nothin-yahu an idiot and you know he is !!
Because you're more loyal to Israel than to America

Yeah, that 'planted in a day' thing is kinda harsh on capitalism.
