This is not the difference between Methodists and Baptists, Presbyterians and Catholics; or even Jews and Christians. The difference is that strict Islam teaches that The Infidel must submit to The Will of Allah; IOW be converted or killed. The not-so-strict, or "moderate" Muslim believes that The Infidels must be taxed, have no rights, and must follow Sharia in a Muslim-run country. The moderate Muslim "sensibly" thinks that since The Infidels will be his slaves for all eternity in Paradise anyway, they might as well be made use of to further Islam while they are on the planet. Not only that, the " Moderate Muslim" will fully support the JIHAD of his immoderate co-religionists to the extent of buying them the bombs and bullets they need to complete their vision..
As the Late Great Rodney King might have expressed it, "Can't we All Just Wake TF UP?" Our ancestors divided the world into "Islam," and "Christendom."
As sad as I am to see him give up his plan to serve in and retire from the Marine Corps, I thank God that my son is getting out of the military to take civilian job. After 3 tours in Afghanistan, he has remained relatively unscathed, with only some hearing loss, a bad knee and some lacerations.
I had a sense he might not be as lucky a fourth,
Democracy doesn’t cure Islam, and we haven’t liberated Muslims from anything that they won’t go back to.
It’s Green on Blue nd Blue on Green in Afghanistan and it’s Back on Black in Chicago..
Safer in Afghanistan than on your front porch or selling lemonade in Chicago.
Don’t worry though, Blacks aren’t worried, unless it’s a white Hispanic doing the shooting.
What’s a neocon to do! Its obvious that nation building HAS NEVER AND WILL NOT WORK so we should withdraw? Oh wait! That means we ‘lost” the war and we need to do...”something.” - shakes head.
We never should have attempted nation building in that hell hole. Thank Dubya for that lunacy. Osama is dead, AQ is pretty much done. Just leave and let the savages kill each AS THEY HAVE BEEN DOING FOR THOUSANDS OF YEARS.
