Imagine if you said that around 2004 on here.
Back then I was a regular on David Horowitz's Front Page Magazine. Back then that site was very conservative and I expressed my hatred for the “Religion Of Peace’’ just as stridently.
Got into on that website with some Muslim bastard. Used to go at it pretty regularly. He was all full of that "We're a peaceful religion'' bs. Some months ago at the hospital I work at here in NJ we had a young black girl who was a Muslim and she tried that same bs. I got into it with her too. Could've lost my job I suppose but she was going on with that same bs too. She admitted at some point that there were ''radical elements'' in Islam(lying little bitch, everything about Islam is radical). So I asked here, "Well, then you're telling there are Muslims who are ''peaceful?'' She said ''Yes, of course''. So I asked ''Moderate ones?'' She paused for a moment and said, "Yes, moderate ones''. So then I asked her "If Islam is so peaceful why the need for moderation? Wouldn't that make the argument it isn't peaceful?''. She had no answer for that.

As a long time lurker (ahem) I can say attitudes have changed as time has gone by.
I have read many people’s personal journey on the wars in the Middle East.
Here’s a recent example from Freeper @FreedomPoster

I’m not going to give abuse to those who have changed their minds or say “I told you so”. So much time has passed since then people are allowed to change their minds and reflect on the policy over the last 20 years.
I welcome this, of course and FR is better for it as is the GOP in my opinion because Trump’s message is popular and a winning one!
