I am by no means am stupid........and I am highly informed. One only needs to read history, To note this is why most wars start. the old " you have what I want " or We are bigger and better than you, and through blood, we will convince you we are right" Apply here also. I don't like ANY of this, I am scared to death for our future generations. But, they think they are right, thats a a VERY tough cause to fight. I also note, that as a democratic society, we are much more appalled then the muslim/arab society is. WE find beheading barbaric, and it IS....But to them, this is how you fight a war. They have beheaded people for centuries. The USA, being a good socity, finds this behavior abhorent...THEY find it common place, Hence, No major " shock factor" from the Arab world.
My initial thread was I would not want to lose Al Jazeera, as it gives us some insight as to what they are thinking.
I do not condone nor like them... I am saying that some information is better than no information at all.

Militant muslim wants to destroy us simply because we do not worship their god. Anything else you have heard or wish to believe is untrue.

Interesting survey question for your neighborhood Muslims here in the US: "What do you think about beheading people?"

I know it's politically incorrect to be so blunt, but I know some people who have been doing it. The reactions are a little shocking: smiles, laughing...anything but contrition or "isn't that terrible"

I thought at least they would get a "that doesn't represent Islam" but no dice.
