The Pope invited the Muslims, other Christians, Jews and scientists to TALK to each other. Islam responded to his invitation by killing Christians, burning churches and the Pope in effigy, which doesn’t appear to be a good way to start a dialogue. Now, I ask you, if the Qur’an teaches Muslims that there should be no compulsion in religion, why are they killing nuns, burning down Christian churches and burning the Pope in effigy? Well at a later date Mohammad wrote in sura 9: 29-30 of the Qur’an:
“9.29”: Fight those who do not believe in Allah, nor in the latter day, nor do they prohibit what Allah and His Apostle have prohibited, nor follow the religion of truth, out of those who have been given the Book, until they pay the tax in acknowledgment of superiority and they are in a state of subjection.
“9.30”: And the Jews say: Uzair is the son of Allah; and the Christians say: The Messiah is the son of Allah; these are the words of their mouths; they imitate the saying of those who disbelieved before; may Allah destroy them; how they are turned away! “
Perhaps Europe needs to think aboutr sura 9 before it hands 20% of Serbia, the province of Kosovo, over to Albanian Muslims, who already have destroyed over 150 Serbian Christian Churches and who want to either subject or eliminate the few remaining Serbs.

Not true, we enabled them in the Balkans and we let them roam free unimpeded, its not a question of military capability but rather political will. The general US polity is afraid to pull the trigger where need be and instead, we search for the most politically expedient approach.
Enough is enough, we're either in this to win or we're not, no half-assed measures, its that simple.
How freakin silly. You're using events that occured years ago under another administration to try to disprove a statement I made about our CURRENT efforts.
I'm surprised you and the other literalists haven't pointed out that there's this one terrorist named Abdullah who hasn't got a personal Marine on his tail.
Uh no, our current administration has done nothing to reverse it nor has it been proactive in dealing with it, the ramifications with letting it fester are graver than you would imagine. So CURRENTLY there are no concerted efforts to stem terrorism in the Balkans.
The Balkan mess is complex and for you to simply blame it on the efforts of the previous administration is simple minded.
For you to blithely pretend that after all our efforts in the Balkans--which, if you kinda sorta look up the facts, DID happen under another administration--that we can just start a new front there, you're proving to be just another armchair general who bitches about how the actual people doing the fighting aren't doing the job properly.
That you had to go to the Balkans to "prove" your point is hilarious--we have people in dozens of countries pursuing the terrorists. As I pointed out, you're a literalist who's peeved because not every terrorist has his own personal Marine after him. Thanks for continuing to make my point! LOL
A quick perusal of your posts shows you're a Balkans obsessive, which makes everything a lot clearer now. It's thrown off your thinking.
We are asked to love our enemies. But the Gospel is not a suicide pact. We have an obligation to preserve our lives and those of our families and friends. This means that we must expel the proponents of death and destruction from all civilized countries.
But the real front is in Lodi, California, where an ice cream vendor sends his sons to jihadist training in Pakistan and gets away with it, it's in Oslo, Norway where the muzzies will soon outnumber native population, in U.S. prisons where taxpayers fund muzzie "chaplains" to convert the worst vermin to Islam, and in Washington where "good men" rubber stamp immigration papers for the next thousands of primitive, barbaric muzzies. Hey, until they blow themselves up they're all "moderate Muslims", doncha know. Yeah, and I support the troops!
There is something wrong that we are succeeding the fight against these ragheads just as you say, (I called them ragheads) and I agree with you. However, then why are we linked up with them in the Balkans and helping them cleanse out Serb Christians from their own land? This is what we are talking about. I had many U.S. Army Officers in my five years living there in Kosovo, to visit my office in private complaining and disillusioned about our policy of letting the Albanian terrorist go.
