Yes "islam is peace": clear, consistent and dead wrong.
“Reagan left Lebanon after our Marines were murdered.
John Wayne was a movie actor.
Our current President fights a WOT around the globe.”
Good points. Many of us have forgotten how far President Bush has taken us. He’s the first president to take a long term consistent approach to fighting world terrorism.
Oh goody, a strawman argument, attacking what I didn't say!
Unlike you, I don't give my enemy the means to convince those ignorant of the reality of Islam that they are 'a peaceful folk being provoked into jihad by eeevil Jooos.' You see, such propaganda costs us resources to counter, resources that we could be expending to defeat our enemy.
At least you have company. Read the tagline.
Thank you for giving me the meaning of the word schlock. It was in another thread about queers and toilets and it appears to fit you well.
So now, when the subject of queers and toilets and you comes up, which I am sure it will do often, the word schlock will come to mind and so I will not forget the word nor what it means.
Thank you also for your well thought out, and witty, reply. Poetry to the ears, you are. I would not have thought schlocks had such mastery of the English language.
You’ve mischaracterized Bush’s position. You will never find a quote from him saying “Islam is peace,” though you may find many indicating that Islam has traditionally been a peaceful religion.
And I believe the president is right about that. Muslims have until relatively recent times, lived in peace around the world and in the US. It is only over the past 30 years or so that radical Islamists have tried to hijack this religion.
The president is 100% correct to point out the distinction between Islam as a religion and Islamists as terrorist enemies.
Very naive and foolish of bush. Their goals have nothing to do with prosperity and peace. To continue to think such nonsense puts us all in peril
Oh really? Well here ya go, an official press release from the White House, on the white house website :
"Islam is Peace" Says President Remarks by the President at Islamic Center of Washington, D.C.
Quote: The face of terror is not the true faith of Islam. That's not what Islam is all about. Islam is peace. These terrorists don't represent peace. They represent evil and war.

Duh!!!
Other than killing and murdering people, raping, pillaging, treating children and women as property, abusing other Muslims and expressing zero tolerance for anyone who speaks out against Mohammad, can you name one relevant thing Islam has given the human race in the last 1200 years?
Well said!
Yes, I see, that 8 minute youtube video is going to undo islam's bad publicity. OK so what's your plan for the president giving your enemy the means to confuse the ignorant by running around mosks in his socks saying "Islam is Peace"?
You know we all thought the broken grammar and "down home" sounding communications were was well rehearsed act to endear himself to the "little people"
Ends up he is as dumb as he looks and sounds
Zero came before Arabs fell under the Mohammedan spell. Since the 7th Century, Muslims haven’t progressed beyond the 7th Century.
Publicize examples of the continuity of the Islamic plan to conquer the West, from the time of Muhammed to today, without break; basically to show that either Bush is mistaken or that his strategy to mollify a significant fraction of the Muslim population is without merit. Bush's plan merely buys them time to arm, train, brainwash, infiltrate, and breed. IMO, whatever infrastructure of liberty he would institute will likely be used against us just as our support of Palestinians has been used against Israel.
Islam...and its fundamentally violent and misogynist view of the world...is the elephant in the room nobody wants to hear about. The fact is it is incompatible with civilization..their own cultures being primary evidence. Unfortunately it will take a tragedy of far greater magnitude than 911 for the Western world to deal with reality.
Hey Frances Townsend-
Hijab plus cleavage are a no-no. Report to your husband for a beating.
