Let the West Make Peace With Islam First

[Alouette]

shouldn’t the West make peace with Islam first?

Yeah, the same way we made peace with Japan. Look at how peaceful and productive the Japanese people are now!

[Alouette]

FRmail me to be added or removed from this Judaic/pro-Israel ping list.

WARNING: This is a high volume ping list

[swarthyguy]

Looks like the Administration's GME is DOA.

Bahrein, Egypt and Saudi have all nixed it.

Oh, well, we tried, time to take over the oil fields, and cleanse the Peninusla of its WahhabiSaudi infestations.

[Iberian]

I changed my mind, let's make friends and share pork rinds and cokes.

[swarthyguy]

>>>shouldn’t the West make peace with Islam first?

Why, the US hasn't begun to fight your perverted wahabisalafideathcult. Yet.

Once we do, there will be peace.

[tubavil]

No islam, no terror.

- Every single time there was a arab-israeli conflict, arabs started it

arabs and facts don't mix.

[ahayes]

other conflicts such as the Algeria-Morocco dispute over the Sahara desert

Ok, I'm feeling ignorant. I looked this up and I see Algeria and Morocco have been fighting over a thin strip land called the Western Sahara ever since Spain handed it over to Morocco. I was thinking I must be missing something, but apparently its only natural resources are phosphates and iron ore, none of the land is considered arable, and only a small amount of it is considered "pasture." Why are they fighting over a broiling wasteland?

[Stopislamnow]

well, with the caveat that one time, as the arabs were prepping to attack, Israel smoked em before they could get the ball rolling.

Arab intent was clear and present.

[Grendelgrey]

...which branch of Islam is it that we are to make peace with? I was unaware that there was a one size fits all form of Islam?

Who is the "GREAT SPOKESMAN" to whom we may bow down and humble our unworthyselves? Will the devout follow the "GREAT SPOKESMAN'S" edicts and "get over it"?... I'm thinkin not

[dyed_in_the_wool]

Right. We'll make peace with them.
After we break their will to fight.

Ask the Japanese and the Germans how it works if you have questions.

[hershey]

Sounds good to me, too.

[sheik yerbouty]

They are floridly psychotic.

[sheik yerbouty]

We must "bury the hatchet"... in them!

[Jeff Gordon]

shouldn’t the West make peace with Islam first?

Who started the war?

The US will make peace with those who start wars with us as we have always done. We will defeat them on the field of battle then help them to get back on their feet.

[RightWingAtheist]

Actually, she's drawing from American universities for her diatribe.

[Wombat101]

I'm pretty sick and tired of the rest of the world (and the whining panywaists in this country)that believe the solution to every issue is for AMERICANS to make the first move, for AMERICANS to make a sacrifice, for AMERICANS to make an attempt to understand.

Maybe it's about time the rest of the world tried to understand US for a change? After all, that seems to be the whole crux of the matter, isn't it, this lack of understanding?

I guess Westerners, and in particular, Americans perplex the Arab world so much that the only way to furtehr the cause of comprehension is to run an airliner into an office building. I'm reminded of the anology that states that if you try to teach a chimp to write, he eventually gets frustrated and stick the pen in your eye. That seems appropos here.

Americans have, in the past, attempted to save Arabs from other Westerners (Kosovo), from each other (Two Gulf Wars), from destruction and imperialism from other western nations (the French problems in Post-WWII Algeria, for example have their roots in the American belief in self-determination), or from Israel, as Western a nation as one is liable to find anywhere. Israeli restraint is directly tied to American diplomacy and aid, otherwise, there would be Synagoue in place of the Pyramids.

In the meantime, Americans have fed the world's hungry, invested in the oilfields of the Middle East and defended them with thier own blood, and have never asked for a blessed thing in return.

Ergo, chimps and writing implements.

If we wanted your resources, we could have stolen them in 1991, instead we went home, and now pay close to $2 for gas. If we wanted your land, we could have occupied it a million times over, instead we went home. If we wanted to destroy your culture, there would be a mushroom cloud over Mecca. Instead, the country that has the ability to wipe you off the planet, and doesn't, gets castigated as a morally inferior people, while yours do their level best to blow up daycare centers, because God told you to. I understand, already, how f***ked up YOU people are.

To the Arab world and their apologists, I say this: I can guarentee you that 9.5 out of 10 Americans cannot find Jordan on a map. I can further guarentee that 12 out of 10 wouldn't make an effort to find out where it was, unless Jordan somehow managed to get into the Super Bowl. None of us can tell the difference between a Sunni and Shi'ite, nor do we care. We don't have to -- we're Americans.

[Hostage]

Well Dr. Al-Oraifi, you'd be well-advised to get with the American plan else you'll end as roadkill on the path to Islam's forced pacification,

You have not yet seen even a glint of the enormity of the anger that the world has for your psychotic militants.

[ChadGore]

We tryed peace, and they gave us 9/11.

The battle is now joined, and they're going to loose.

[teletech]

They are floridly psychotic

LOL!
