You know something just occurred to me. When liberals and Islamists claim that the war on terror has "created new terrorists" because of Muslim anger at our policies and then claim "Islam is a religion of peace" they are not making sense. Here is why:
1. If in making Muslims mad by our policies we are creating NEW terrorists, then Islam is NOT a religion of peace. In fact if Muslim anger results in the creation of new terrorists then all 1 billion Muslims on Earth are potential terrorists (I don’t believe that).
2. Whether or not our policies make Muslims angry, there are still a finite number of Muslims (more than other religions however) who are willing to translate that anger into the murder of a five year old girl riding a double decker bus. And those Muslims are ALREADY TERRORISTS. And if there is a finite number of people willing to be terrorists, then the war on terror can be won by military means alone. We just have to keep killing them.
After all I hate France. That doesn’t mean I want to nuke Paris (Well, Hmm...). Americans have the ability to separate their anger at another countries policies with a desire to want to kill indiscriminately. I assume that a majority of Muslims can separate their anger also. Those who can’t are called sociopaths! However if the liberals are right and ever time we anger the "Arab street” we create new terrorists, then every Muslim in the world is already a terrorist and a legitimate target. Since that can’t be true and since there numbers are finite and limited, then we don’t have to understand them we just have to kill them. Just some food for thought.
BUMP
"I assume that a majority of Muslims can separate their anger also"
Sounds nice, but I would not count on it. Islam is a death cult, not a religion.
The terrorist movement started way before 911 when there was no war on terrorists.
There is no need even to argue about this. It is a violent religion bent on destroying us.
I am getting sick and tired of this violent cult. Something needs to be done before these psychos get their hands on Nuclear weapons from countries like Pakistan or Iran and use them in our cities.
These psychopathic jihadists motivated by the verses in Quran need to be stopped. We cannot keep on bending over backwards for them and their stupid violent mindless cult.
And if thats true then Islam is NOT a religion of peace. Either way the liberals have it wrong.
No Argument here. I agree totally.
I was just pointing out the logical contradiction in the "Religion of peace" and "Root Causes" arguments that liberals use.
Yeah, the liberals are very wrong.
Is it a religion at all?
You're right. And with a "religion" like that, that is the reason why so many people in their "religion" act so psychotic.
Not every Muslim is a terrorist but almost every terrorist is Muslim. Muslim and liberals would do well to ask themselvess why.
Islam is our enemy, pure and simple.

You're tagline actually says it all. I love it. :)
IMHO, Islam is NOT an religion of peace, as we know peace in the 21st century, but a religion that is rooted from medieval times when barbarism was common. If the Muslims worship a 'holy book' that calls for the killing of infidels, then they are living in the 15th century. When the Muslims clean up their own house and come into the 21st century, then I will respect their religion. Until then, I have suspicion of anyone who attends a Mosque, wears a rag on their head, or has a name with 'al-' attached to it. Sorry to all of the 'good' Muslims in this world, but that's the way I feel!
Canadians hate us for our "policies" but they have yet to strap bombs to their babies and fling them over the border at us. Buddhists don't do that, Mexicans complain about our policies while buying bus tickets to bring their cousins over.
No, its mainly only muslims that like to express their disagreements on economics, politics, theology, cosmology, and jurisprudence by blowing themselves and anyone near them into bits.
I heard a Muslim scholar make the following point. When a Muslim says, "Islam is Peace", they are defining peace, not Islam. According to a Muslim, peace is the result of Islam and Islamic justice. A common phrase in Islam is that "If there is no (Islamic) justice, there is no peace." And they prove that last point over and over.
Exactly my point.
TO sum up
I feel that:
1. A disproportionate number of Muslims are willing to do what Canadians and French are not (Kill innocent people).
2. But that there is not an unlimited supply of Muslim terrorists out their. THere numbers are finite and thus they can be killed. We are not creating terrorists, because it is impossible to do so.
A man who would kill an innocent person over a Koran story didnt "become" a terrorist he already was one.
Heard the same exact thing on the local Big Media station. Must be true...
Great point. During World War II, the Japanese government frequently said they only wanted peace. The Nazi government as well said they never wanted war. Of course, what they meant was that the other side should stop fighting!
