I don't think the people who keep making that tired claim live amongst or work around Muslims. Yep, there are terrorists in the Muslim community, no doubt, but the majority of Muslims seem to just want to be Americans.
You are missing the point. Where are the Muslims from OTHER NATIONS, like Islamic nations calling this stuff out? There are none, they all support it.

(BTW I am a Nam Vet - been there done that.), Waging war for commerce is utterly despicable.

Killing innocent people for the Glory of God is equally despicable. There are no winners in this conflict but there are plenty of losers. I would like to apologize to all of the innocents damaged by our side in these wars. The other guys can apologize for the damage they have done.
I wouldn't lose a second of sleep if the ME was wiped out completely and Islam ceased to exist.

It has become clear to me that this religion and its followers are blood thirsty jackals for the most part. And today when I heard that the killer at Ft Hood was a Muslim who had praised suicide bombers in the past, I said "no surprise there".
The Christian nutcases are a mere nuisance when compared to the Muslim nutcases. The Catholics might molest children but it takes real lust for blood to strap a bomb on a kid and send him to his death - which a Muslim can justify if he can kill a few Jews while blowing himself up.
I have to disagree... the most barbaric was Christianity... they killed more people than any religion... they may have stopped but that wasn't what their past was like... I guess that's true of any religion, they become very murderous and then grew to be more complacent... I guess the same can be said of Islam.... if so, why are you so hateful? They are just going through their phases.... it would help if Americans stop throwing themselves over these bombs and go home already... less Americans die that way... you can't fight an ideology with guns... its a lesson learned long ago... apparently there are still some that need to learn it... Obama are you listening? Didn't think so...

Buddy, this is a foolish post.

Keep your generalized biases and hateful opinions to yourself.

Most Muslims throughout the world are peaceful, and, likely, there are many on this forum who you have just insulted. Your just spreading hate on a public forum.

Yes. I agree with your general sentiments about religion in general, but there has been more death shed in the name of Christianity, historically, than almost any other religion. But, again, I agree with the malevolent behavior that seems to stem from all monotheistic organized religion. Far Eastern religions seem to be relatively immune to crusades on their behalf.

I'm extremely surprised that a thread under this topic is allowed to persist.

I guess the mods haven't caught up yet.

a little overly sensitive eh? Kind of like how a 6th grade girl would feel. Facts are the facts. Islam is violent, you can't refute that and it will not change. You say that most Muslims are peaceful, at the moment they are, but give them a reason to be violent and they won't think twice. Tell one of these peacful Muslim fathers that his daughter is becoming too westernized and see what he does.....

christianity has 600 years and much more global influence than islam.. go back 2000-600 years and christian extremists were doing much of the same...
Jesus is highly regarded around the world, not because of it's peaceful message, but because of the barbaric impositions used then in making it a nationalized religion.. If you didn't convert.. you die!...
islam is just following in the steps of christianity...
granted christianity isn't doing this on a wide scale anymore, but that doesn't make excuses for the foundation of their success...
but I agree.. Islam is an oppressive disgusting religion...christianity is just insane...
You can wrap sh*t up in a pretty package.. and tout all the beauty of the package all you want.. it's still sh*t.

I sincerely doubt that Bush is even a Christian as he has been quoted as stating that he doesn't take the Bible literally. Keep in mind that the Democrats and the Republicans both voted to go to war with Iraq with the intelligence they had at the time.

Probably the same thing a Christian parent might do if a daughter had relations out of wedlock... its a phase in every religion, just because it is happening now doesn't mean its a barbaric religion, its growing up... eventually it will be like any other religion, complacent and earning money like a cash cow with a political bent...

I wasn't aware you were not a Christian if you carried a figurative view of the Bible. For instance, are you saying that to be a Christian you must literally believe that God created the heavens and earth in 7 days ... and that a talking snake caused the downfall of man? Many, many Christians I know see this more as symbolism rather than literal.
