Look to Genesis 3.
Man fell for the lie that 'ye can be like God'.
With the Fall sprung forth the weeds of covetousness, pride, and all the accompanying afflictions.
Without an understanding of who we are, and where we came from, and the only cure: Christ;
covetousness will continue to reign in the hearts of man.
Without Christ it should be no surprise that America is hated from abroad. No aid or pandering will change that. Only when we're living in rubble and dung huts, will the world's hatred shift elsewhere.
I'm with Ann Coulter - we need to send out missionaries if we truly desire to affect change.

The displaced anger of Muslim yoots is exactly the same anger as teenagers who resent the authority of their parents.
It is driven by the same causes.
In Islamic society, there is no outlet for teenage hotbloodedness, other than hostility and violence. The more they act out, the more they feel justified to increase their hateful activities. And their society encourages them to continue displacing their anger.
Muslim "Holy Men" must chortle with insane glee as they send the young men off to their doom, while these "Holy Men" reap the benefit of power, prestige, and access to women denied the young men.
I'd be angry too. That's what is so pernicious about this Satanic cult.

Burn their villages to ground; killing them, killing their animals, pulling down their high places, will at some point be the only thing this radical Islamists will understand.

Just to be absolutely clear, you're advocating Nazi techniques, right?

Just to be absolutely clear, you're advocating Nazi techniques, right? Very clever, to be absolute clear I am advocating a warfare techniques used at least since mankind started writing down history.
Do you believe Nazis' were the only group to use scorch and burn warfare techniques? Of course injecting the word Nazi is somehow supposed to paint an evil picture. BTW during WWII, scorch and burn warfare was routinely used by both both sides at the end. Is it evil yes, Was it necessary, yes. IMO.
Also, no one is advocating this. I was merely pointing out that given the direction Muslim culture is going. ie Muslims school teaching hatred and Jihad, an putrid response to Islamic terrorist at best from Muslim leaders, at sometime in the future the only way to rid the earth of the radical Islamist scum will be to utterly destroy them. In a biblical sense of course.

It was a yes or no question, and I don't care how you waffle.
You are advocating genocide.

Right. Kill them, their women and children inside the houses when you burn them, or destroy any means of feeding their families. That way they starve to death or die of exposure. Why, you're amazingly humane. How could I have missed that?

Genocide is excused by the fact that it is a warfare technique utilized "since mankind started writing down history." Yeah, sure.
And yes, YOU were and are still advocating it.

You're entitled to your opinion. But I'll try once more. I am not advocating this, I was pointing out at some time it may be the only option left. Sorry, but that is a real possibility.
So what would you suggest be done when our friendly local Jihadist community is killing and terrorizing the local secular or Christan neighborhood? When the Jihadist hide behind their women and children counting on you being civilized enough to allow then to kill your family first?

The Allies' terror bombing of German and Japanese cities did not aim at genocide, but surrender. Bush errs in the phrase "War on Terrorism". I don't think he would repudiate WWII's Allied terrorist bombings.
A better phrase: "War on Islamic Nutballs Who Attack the US".

I disagree with the theory that Moslems resent us and hate us because we are successful. That is a western psychological theory. They attack us by any and all means available to them because they are taught to believe they are good and we are evil.

In the eyes of the Islamists, the fact that most Muslims have no desire to blow themselves and others sky high only goes to show that they deserve no better than to be liquidated themselves. After all, the aim of the radical loser is to make as many other people into losers as possible. As the Islamists see it, the fact that they are in the minority can only be because they are the chosen few. Valin, thanks for sharing - it's the best "ping" I've received this year! Great find.

Wealthier oil states could erase the poverty besetting their Palestinian 'brothers' tomorrow if they so decided.
They simply don't want to. They would rather build madrasses and exploit the desperation of its impoverished people, convincing them that strapping themselves with bombs will improve their lot.
There is no mercy in Islam. Not even for its fellow adherents.

I know some Palestinians, and yes they know this, and it's a hot button issuse with them.

Zakaat
http://www.islam.tc/alhilaal/site/zakat.html
Zakaat is one of the five pillars of Islam. It has been mentioned, along with daily Prayers (Salaat), over seventy times in the Qur'an. Allah's word commanding "........and establish regular Salaat and give regular Zakaat......." are referred to in many parts of the Qur'an. From this we can conclude that after Salaat, Zakaat is the most important act in Islam.

No...thats you and about 6 other people it's an American tradition to root against the Yankees.....go ask any hard core baseball fan.
To: Blackirish
No. It's traditional for a Northern Californian to root against the LA Dodgers. Southern Californians root against the SF Giants.
As to those East Coast teams, we choose whichever one on the basis of fancy, or bias, or odds, or the sentiments of those persons surrounding you at the moment in the case of a choice between Sox or Yankees.
