One basic tenet of the Idea of America is "Religious Tolerance!"
We NOW learn that one of the Religions our Fathers fought for (& MANY Died for) has--as one of several of its Principle Tenets--assigned Itself the goal of Total World Domination and Elimination of All other organized Religions (by the slaughter of "Infidels" as needed)!
Our Fathers fought for a Free Nation with Religious Tolerance, But, instead, inadvertently allowed a poisonous band of Psychopaths to continue & expand!
It appears we must be HIGHLY SKEPTICAL of the so-called "faith" of "Islam," & assume its "followers" are NOT governed by normal "Western" concepts of "Justice, Faith, Humanity, Fairness, Mercy, Compassion, Honesty, Probity, Logic," or ANY other qualities associated with normal, civilized Human life!
"Islam" MAY have been a "Magpie," "Riding" the massive sacrifice of our Allied Troops-- now attempting to crush us with its utterly psychopathic "Laws," to attempt to re-create a "Totalitarian State" as we recover from the struggle to avoid just such a fate. "Out of the Frying-Pan, Into the Fire!!"
Nobody said maintaining Western Civilization was going to be Eazy!!

I have been trying to find out what faith Powell and Rice follow. Have you (or anyone else for that matter) ever seen any refrence to what their religious beliefs are?
Just wondering.

Point of information only: make that several HUNDREDS of thousands (circa 300,000 WWII US military fatalities I think.)
