I don’t need a two star to tell me that.

The General is right about the violence, but I wouldn’t even call Islam a religion. Calling it a religion gives it a dignity it doesn’t deserve. It is a political philosophy, like Nazism or Communism. Does America have the stones to recognize the enemy and defeat it? A good start would be deporting all the Muslims that are here. They are enemy aliens in our midst, a fifth column poised to strike from within.
its not a religion. tax it
Well, apparently the generals with any moxie are retired. Except for Powell.
Thank you for the link.

A riot broke out over plans to convert a building in a Cairo suburb into a Christian church on Sunday.
Muslims and Christians clashed in Mataria after worshippers arrived for a service at the site of the planned church.
Protesters fought with riot police in Cairo over plans to convert a building into a Christian church
Police in Mataria intervened when large numbers of Muslims and Christians faced off over a building which the Christians want to convert into a church. The police then clashed mainly with the Muslim side, they said.

In both cases people threw stones and bottles at the police. Two of the policemen were injured in Aswan and two in Cairo, and the protesters damaged shop fronts in both places, they said.
In the incident in Mataria, the confrontation between Muslims and Christians was the culmination of a long-running dispute over the plan to build a church there.
Residents said Christians had come from other parts of the city for the Sunday service at the building, which is not licensed as a church, and Muslims opposed to a church gathered against them. Some chanted: ‘We’re going to knock down the church’ and shouted slogans of loyalty to Islam, witnesses said.
Relations between Egyptian Muslims and the Christian minority, estimated at up to 10 per cent of the population, are usually peaceful, but unrest breaks out from time to time over new churches, conversions and inter-confessional marriages.
It's a political movement started by a psychopath who used half baked nonsense and heresies to legitimize his power.
Would we accord the Nazi party the status of "religion" if they deified Hitler?
There's no difference. Islam deserves no 1st amendment protection, it operates as a government wherever it is.
For nearly 1400 years Islam has inspired piracy, slavery, torture, murder, etc. There sure have been an awful lot of people through history who have been “perverting” the religion. It seems that their scripture has some serious issues that need to be addressed in order to disconnect the relationship between Islam and violence. Who’s job is that?
Muslim = bombings, war, violence and murder.
