Why not explore Islam for yourself so you know what you're dealing with before taking the traditonal centrist's position and that might...just might...
...be completely inappropriate in this situation.
Open your ears at this forum and you will hear from some people that know a great deal about this subject.
You will find they are willing to listen...once you have done your homework.
I appreciate your advice.
I did explore Islam, read teh Quran and outlined it, met with many Muslims and observed them in prayer and worship.
I find alot of beauty in Islam, though they err on the nature of Christ and the matter of His death and resurection.
The Islamofascists are perverting Islam and they are indeed horrid monstrosities worthy of the death we should give them if they do not change their violent ways.
But whether I am right about the problem being ISlamitself or not, by extending the olive branch once the sword has done its work, we can mold a new view of Islam, perhaps, though I think this version of ISlam already does exist and is the main stream.
We should nopt forget that the reaction of most Muslims in Muslim countries is due to the propaganda of their totalitarian governments who are the ones who truly hate the Democratic West for obvious reasons. They especially do not want a Democratic Iraq to ever succede.
Why help them in their goals by demonstrating that their claims of Western hatred for them are right?
