I am not excusing anything. However when some fringe does something I am not sure how that justifies anger against the whole muslim world. And I dont understand esp after we spent almost a century having to defeat communism that every one here wants a solution of Islam and the modern World in like 5 minutes. We have only started this new policy since 2001.

After they clear out the rubble, it looks like an ideal spot for a Christian cathedral.

We are suppose to police the mosques?

They go nuts if an American or non-muslim goes near them.

Where have you been?

Communism wasn't as suicidal as what we faced now.

We don't have 50 years like the cold war this time. If it's not taken care of soon, millions upon millions of Americans and Europeans and Israelis will be dead.

The "I'm surprised" bit was pure sarcasm, I assure you. :)

My point still stands though: It'll be "The Jews" who did it in the Arab "Press" within a few days. I pretty much can bet any amount on that pediction.

And like some others said: the cartoons were probably more "offensive" to Islam than this was. That's because they didn't do it. And every Muslim "knows" that no "real" Muslim could have done this either, so it'll be "the Jews" all over again.

Want to take that bet?

And you also could care less, what this means to our military over there and the ramifications of this act, which WILL have a resonance on our military in Afghanistan as well. Nor, obviously, do you care an iota about Iran and its capabilities of having nukes.

And no, I really don't believe that you give a damn about any of the Americans who were murdered on 9/11 and their family and friends.

I don't need organized religion to tell me to love my neighbor as myself.

I don't need it to show respect fellow man.

Yeah a "bunch of crazies...destroyed that mosque".

Crazy muslims.

Think about it this way.. Do you think any of them cared when McVeigh blew up OKC?

Didn't think so. So why should we?

I comprehend it. It's just not working too well. Conventional boots on the ground is ridiculous in this war.

Ok folks this thread is not going to recover. Let me know yalls gameplan some time on defeating ISlam. But remember real life is not some Game of Risk where you role some dice and take the Middle East From Africa. Details please. Shall the US Govt prohibit Islam in it borders perhaps. Thats a great idea I suppose. Also tell me what men woman and children get killed by Atomic Mushroom clouds as we make a point to Islam as some would suggest. Caroi, Tehran, perhaps our friends the Turks and hit Instanbul just to remind them to keep their place.

You have the comprehension of roadkill and the emotional level of a slow 12 year old.

Oh, so it's a contest of who behaves best?

Hope you get brownie points for that at least. To hell with survival I guess.

I get so tired of some of the boneheaded, uninformed comments on here.

And I'm not Muslim, either. But I'm also not some narrow-minded skinhead, just randomly hating every single person in a particular demographic.

Of late, you seem to be outnumbered by the shrill crowd.  <<sigh>>

Oh, so you and Clinton went to the same military academy, I see. How nice for you.

Clinton's talking about using B83's for strategic targets over there? Interesting.
