Not against the whole human race. Just against muslims. If you think they’re so different please explain why their’s are the only churches enclosed with concertina wire. I’ve talked to plenty. I took a college course on the religion. Yes, there are some Christians who believe you won’t get to Heaven unless you believe the way they believe. But they won’t kill you for it. They’ll leave that up to God.

This is here and now. If we want to win this war against terrorism we will have to kill them all. Sadly, we won’t do that and I’ve said since 9/11 that we’ll be fighting this forever.

Are you muslim? Or athiest? Or do you worship at the alter of Richard Gere?

Stalin wasn't a Muslim. Neither was Pol Pot. Nor Mao. Nor Timothy McVeigh. The only way you are going to stop people from trying to break eggs to make omelettes is by killing everyone.

None of the mosques or Islamic centers (and there are a few) near me are enclosed in concertina wire (which is illegal in New Jersey, but they don't have barbed wire, either). Further, there are Christian sects who do have their compounds inclosed in barbed wire, not to mention the polygamous Mormon sects and groups like the Branch Davidians. Remember them?

I’ve talked to plenty. I took a college course on the religion.

So did I, in the 1980s. Some of the Muslim students in the class were bothered by mention of the Satanic Verses in the text we were using and others weren't. Some were bothered that the professor showed Mohammad, Messenger of God and others weren't. I'm not denying that there are unpleasant and even dangerous Muslims. I'm saying that not all Muslims are unpleasant or dangerous and punishing the innocent because we are too lazy or indiscriminate to sort them out and ignoring important Constitutional rights in the process is not a just or reasonable course of action.

Yes, there are some Christians who believe you won’t get to Heaven unless you believe the way they believe. But they won’t kill you for it. They’ll leave that up to God.

Historically, Christians have killed plenty of people for not only not being Christian but for not being the right kind of Christian. I've already mentioned the Albigensian Crusade and the St. Bartholomew's Day Massacre but it extends well into modern times with not only Serbian atrocities against Bosnians but also the Protestants and Catholics killing each other in Northern Ireland. Examples abound. Do you need more? In fact, the quote, "Kill them all, God will know his own," ("Caedite eos! Novit enim Dominus qui sunt eius") sometimes transformed into, "Kill them all and God will sort them out," comes from the Albigensian Crusade and was uttered by Papal legate Arnaud-Amaury when asked how to tell the Cathars from the innocent Catholics.

This is here and now. If we want to win this war against terrorism we will have to kill them all. Sadly, we won’t do that and I’ve said since 9/11 that we’ll be fighting this forever.

Kill all Muslims? You are advocating the genocide of over a billion people including women and children so you can be safe? Are we conservatives or the Khmer Rouge?

Are you muslim? Or athiest? Or do you worship at the alter of Richard Gere?

I'm a conservative Christian who believes that the only difference between us and them shouldn't be the color of our jersey. We're supposed to be better than they are, not in a race to be better bigots and indiscriminate murderers than they are.
