did anyone just hear a mousetrap snap shut?
How the HELL do they think a ‘no-fly zone’ is created? with flying carpets?
I am SICKTODEATH of hearing about ‘muslim land’ / ‘our holy land’. There is no incorporating muslims into a based-on-equals world community. There will never be a welcome mat in the muslim world for Christians or athiests or agnostics or treehuggers and they will never cooperate for a common cause - you might as well try to ride the sun.
IMO JMO MOO
I rarely agree with this view of the U.S., but now I do in the case of the U.S. beginning another war in the Middle East.
Libya: Another quagmire beckons.
In the short space of a decade, the U.S. has made war in three Muslim nations, and Canada in two. For many Muslims, any just cause for these conflicts is beside the point. Shoddy affairs like Rep. Peter King (R-NY)’s congressional witchhunt on Muslims are easily enough overlooked in Karachi and Jakarta. But Western military attacks on sovereign Muslim nations can’t help but appear to many of the world’s estimated 1.2 billion to 1.6 billion Muslims - or about 20% of the world population - as a determined assault on the Muslim world.
