forced conversion? sheesh. Back to the dark ages.

There it is again. I have seen this accusatory presumption many times.

I did not see anything about Forced Conversion to anything.

I have heard many liberals jump to the same conclusion.

This conclusion is usually reserved to those who have an unnatural fear of proselytizing of any kind.

I never assumed she meant forced converstion, therefore I will give her the benefit of the doubt.

Since I usually agree with true traditional American conservatives, I do not have a default mechanism set up that automatically assumes the worst meaning from the mouth of a Christian conservative.

I think we should give this ally the benefit of the doubt.

I presume what she really meant was that we need to get rid of the murderers who keep these people away from the truth; that keep these people in the bondage of a false religion that will produce yet more terrorists in the future.

Ann was rightly getting directly to the root of the problem; the leaders will kill anyone who would attempt to give them a chance to hear the tenets of biblical Christianity, so they are stuck with this religion of terrorism that they have. You have to get rid of the Osama bin Ladens

Her sentiments are much like General Douglas MacArthur's at the end of World War 2; he pushed hard to send as many Christian missionaries as possible to Japan to replace the anscestor and emperor worship that was the existing religion (their leaders were already either dead or powerless). He saw this religion as inferior to Christianity and also as a reason for their aggression.

She is just wanting to get rid of the underlying problem, the religion of following the koran as it is written.

The Taliban come to mind.

Yeah. Come to think of it, they canned General McArthur too.

I think she did just fine with the story. The left at the democrats sites started against Ann after it was written and I am sure the left said they were conservatives when they emailed NR. It really is a shame to lose a conservative magazine to the rats but so be it. Bye Bye NR. See ya at the rats site.

Thanks for setting the record stright with a little in sight to "This is war" and its original intent.

I think Ann was pissed off and wrote a column in a hurry. Her friend Barbara Olsen and 7,000 other innocent civilians were murdered by these pigs, and televison video showed crowds of animals dancing in the streets, celebrating the carnage. Did Ann "go over the top"? Maybe, maybe not. Either way, I don't care.

Anything we do to those terrorist pigs and their despicable supporters is fine and dandy with me. Gas 'em. Nuke 'em. Give them a "crusade". Whatever. It all works for me. Maybe that's how Ann felt when she wrote her column.
