Wait until Musharraf is gone. About 5 minutes. Do you understand the difference between an Islamic regime and a secular dictator?
"ever" is a long time, Mike.
demographic displacement is a proven method of regime change throughout history; it is one muslims have used in the past; it is one muslims are using in the present (sudan, for example).
westerners make an error in believing that an enemy must be clearly defined, uniformly inimical in every variant, organized centrally, coordinated, and deliberate.
this is not so.
an enemy need only be irretrievably ALIEN.
as regards western culture and mores: not all muslims are such, but Islam itself is.
Islam cannot be reformed and remain islam. The koran clearly commands them to fight against us.
The root of it stems from the intentional intertwining of religion and government. A problem also faced by Christianity and most other religions.
Christianity does not intertwine with government at all. The Christian kingdom is not of this world but of the next. We are commanded as Christians to submit to those in authority over us as far as we can without violating biblical direction.
In Islam however secular and religious government are inextricably joined.
You just bet your life on it. bye-bye
Thanks for the ping!
It's been a while since I read such B.S. The past can be changed if you spell out exactly what is going to happen if you don't change the future.

Which Islamic movement is strong enough to unite the Islamic people.
They have tried it at least 3 times in the past.
Five Arab States—Egypt, Iraq, Syria, Lebanon and Trans-Jordan —had already signed a protocol for a federation of Arab states. Ibn Saud, holding out to the last while Britain and Egypt's King Farouk laid the groundwork, had accepted only when assured that he would be the federation's kingpin (TIME, Feb. 5). Now his and other representatives in Cairo were drafting a constitution. (Time, Mar. 5, 1945)
Just because you think they are weak now doesn't mean they wouldn't unite if they could overthrow "The Great Satan."
The Islamic country that has three long range ballistic missiles, “Shehab-one, Shehab-two, and Shehab-three" would surely be a uniting force.
I don't think so, because I think the Time Traveller is actually the author's grandson (the one still fighting).
I don't think the words are in the story. They're described as "Three words that any Replayer or time traveler visiting here from a century or more from now would react to first and most emotionally...." The author uses two examples of such words in the story: first, from the novel Replay, when the time traveller there posted ads that read, "Do you remember Three Mile Island, Challenger, Watergate, Reaganomics?..." The second example was when the author thought of what words he would use to contact a time traveller in 1900: "Auschwitz, I was sure, and Hiroshima and Trinity Site and Holocaust and Hitler and Stalin and ..."
So I think the words are on that order, three words that refer to people, places, or events that everyone from the Time Traveller's time would recognize as significant, but anyone in our time would be baffled by.
ANY that don't expect the best BUT prepare for the WORST.. is a fool.. You see an optimist, mark him(usually her), as one in almost total denial..

I am just stating the obvious. In the story, the time travel states that events cannot be changed and then the time traveler starts talking in riddles.
But should you state clearly what could happen, then it can be changed.
