You type fast. And while the words you type do not scare me, the way in which you interpret them does.

You really think this is a religious war, don't you? You think this is the big one? You think that bin Laden and the 'terrorists' are strong enough and smart enough to lead their flock to act out all the roles you have type-cast for them in your interpretation?

"The area now occupied by Islam used to be 90% Christian, and more than 3200 churches have either been destroyed or converted to mosques since the invasion of Islam."

Is this our mission over there? Are we there to re-claim the region for Christianity? Is this your view? Everyone's view here? Do you think it is President Bush's view?

This really is going to be a protracted battle...

It's not my view. The analysis of Islam was that of a theologian, Dr. James Dawson.

As you can see, it's pretty well footnoted as to where all of these things are in the Quran.

My take on it? It doesn't matter whether its a religious war or not. The only thing that matters is that THEY see it as a religious war.

What they should do here in the US is to post a translation of all of the major Islamic clerics sermons every week. Week after week, the US is Satan, and so is the West, and glory to those who reek death and destruction against us.

By contrast, we go out of our way to ensure that Muslims here in the US are treated equally. There is no marching against Islam.

Here's my current beef with Islam: Let's assume that there are peaceable, Mecca Islamic believers out there. Let's assume they are sincere when they say that their religion has been hijacked.

All that being taken for granted, where are the spokesmen and spokeswoman fighting to take back their religion? We are appalled at the treatment of Iraqi POW's, but 12 year olds kick and spit at the charred bodies of US soldiers.

As long as it is religous TO THEM, it becomes religious TO US, until such time as they want to revert to Mecca Islam (after which they will build up strength, wait, and then go militant again against our children's children's generation.)

Remember, I didn't type cast them - they did. Check the references in the primer for yourself. I did.

I think one strategy we may want to pursue is the liberation of Muslim females from the oppression of their men. It worked here.
