I don’t and never have given a flying frack how Islam “views” us.
Well, LC, depends on what you mean by the word "us." A "President Hussein," God-forbid, would not stand for me, yet he would be viewed by the world at large as representing "me." This is what's so troubling, IMO.
“I don’t and never have given a flying frack how Islam “views” us.”
Except that examples such as those above show how MUCH our politics which they could NEVER understand) are more fuel for the fire of their propaganda and recruitment of jihadists - it all gets distorted and twisted to present us as a mindless, immoral, laughable country that indeed deserves their “cleansing”, for Allah.
