You must have missed the part where it said - there are only 24 Muslims on Quantico base. So a Mosque is being built for this tiny group?
So what, exactly, does that look like?
To keep that from happening, they need to change, or be destroyed.
OK, now we're getting somewhere.
FIrepower does not change belief systems. At most, it temporarily compels behavior, with that effect disappearing the instant the threat of force is removed. So that leaves "destruction."
How do you propose to destroy a religion with 1.3 billion adherents?
Yes, a Mosque was built so that Marines, putting their lives on the line every day to provide you your Constitutional rights, might actually get to enjoy freedom of religion like you.
Small group, small Mosque. Besides which, 24 is bigger than a number of small town congregations in the US.
OK, got it. I'll debate with Kolb then. Your question is entirely predicated on mine.
But, as I've foolishly done in the past with mentalities such as yourself, I'll answer your question nonetheless. Warning; you'll dismiss my answer and tell me that it's not an answer before revealing your pansy ways and copping out.
Q: How do you propose to fight a war against all of Islam?
A: Hopefully you don't have to fight all f Islam!! Hopefully it never comes to that. Otherwise it's an enormous mess, especially in a day and age with nukes in the hands of petty tyrants, dictators, and other Islamic leaders.
Have you ever heard the adage, "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure?" That's how you "fight" Islam!! By not allowing it to fester within your society! If you do, then you'll have to deal with the expressed attempts at takeover by Islamists, namely muslims, and Islamic rule just as happens like clockwork around the world and has since Islam's inception.
Now, in vain hopes that you were sincere, answer my question. If you doh't, then we're finished discussing this in your so far "I'm going to make my point devoid of any logic or reason and not allow those things to enter the conversation."
Q: Do you see anything problematic with Islam, its tenets, doctrines, etc.?
Again, my time is limited, so if you're serious, then just answer the question and allow me some liberty in this discussion, which will be relatively brief as long as you don't waste time.
I love Free Republic. If Muslims don't enlist in the military, it proves they're "terrorist sympathizers." If they do enlist, it proves they're "infiltrators."
The "thoughts" (chuckle) of the extreme left end of the Bell Curve, posted on the Internet for one and all to marvel at . . .
I saw this Oxen, and think it's one of the dumbest things we've ever done in this country.
Come on. This is clown time for you and the Marines. You know this is a steaming load.
Why would you deny those Marines the same Constitutional right of freedom of religion that they put their lives on the line for everyday to provide to you? Do you consider Marines less then citizens?
Kind of like how Janet Reno didn't allow tghe Branch Davidians to fester within our society?
Check this out. Stuff like this just makes me throw up my hands in despair.
Clown time my arse. Those Marines are just as entitled to freedom of religion as you are. The steaming load is the fact that some people don't think they are deserving of that.
Ultimately, yes. In the end it's them or us.
And some people wonder why most military folks prefer the company of their own kind over some civilians.
Exactly. I wonder if Rumsfeld knows about this and if so, why he permitted the project to go forward.
Not yet...
How do you define victory in a war against all of Islam? What is the desired end state?
We can't nor should we conduct a war against all Islam. However, we are fools to build shrines to encourage it and welcome it into our culture with open arms. In doing so we are increasing the enemy numbers and that will come back to bite us.
You bet he knows about it. The military does try to do it's best to provide for the religious needs of ALL of it's troops.
No time to go into detail (off to work) but cutting off the heads is a good place to start. Islamic leaders need to start dying or disappearing, mysteriously and with plausible deniability. The bomb factories in mosques need to start having "accidents", as do the Iran nuke facilities.
