Islam fills this need perfectly.
A sixth century worldview of God, worshiping a meteorite, destroying, rather than building.
The easiest thing in the world to feed, resentment and a sense of human superiority if only...
Smarter and more industrious societies weren't inclined to hard work and innovation to make us feel inferior.
It's a historical cultural plot.
Not really. Bush is doing the politically necessary things to avoid a general conflagration. The logical approach - which he's following - is to take out the governments that spawn and support terrorists one by one. Iraq...then Iran, perhaps...and so on. If he lets matters go too far, then the arabs would use their oil weapon, and Americans would face a lack of gasoline for their SUV's and a devastated economy. At that juncture, domestic support for the war on terrorism would evaporate, and Sammy "the pig" bint laden would have won.
So Bush is doing the practical thing. But since I am neither a leader nor a role model, I can rant to my heart's content about islam being founded by the illegitimate offspring of the joining of a hog and a dog...and nobody cares. Kinda neat, huh?
Yes it does.
And I truly wonder if I am incapable of seeing something that is truly there. I can't.
May I be so bold as to ask if your "commitment" to whatever it is allows you similarly to have "doubts"?
I do know this:
The argument that... "...but there are 2 billion of them!" doesn't quite fit my intellectual definition of being "right".
If anything, their continued daily brutal, primitive and destructive behavior further reinforces the uneasy notion that brutal suppression may be a cultural and anthropological necessity which evolved over hundreds of thousands of years.
Nature's way to deal with human garbage: garbage is as garbage does.
I assume you have heard of Carthage?
Have you noticed any attempt by that group lately to take their rightful place as "rulers of the world"?
This is what is so appealing to the very poor. They consider themselves to be slaves already, but with islam they pretend their slavery is to Allah.
The trend outlined in this article is scary.
Lock phasers on the Rio Grande!
BUMP.
Diplomacy is the art of saying "nice doggie"... while finding a suitable rock.
The way Muslims get around that argument is by saying that the New Testament is not an accurate telling of what Jesus said, that the only accurate reference is the Quran, and that in any contradiction between the Bible and Quran, the Quran is right. You cannot quote the Bible at a Muslim and win any argument.
And Mussolini made the trains run on time. And Stalin gave the Russians full employment for a while. The cure may turn out worse than the disease.
To the Islamists intent on attacking America, Mexico presents an ideal Third World gateway into America, with open borders. Over time, they need not attempt to infiltrate - they'll have Mexican Moslems with easy passage.
What else can you say about somebody like that if he even admits it himself?
You just KNOW we're doing the financing. "Gotta help impoverished Mexico rebuild their economy!"
If you have a difficult time wrapping your mind around that one, try this one:
That our rights and freedoms can be subverted and used as a weapon against us.
Is it possible?
Well, when that religion preaches murder as a viable and celebrated way to earn a place in Heaven, then yes, we may be looking at future problems thanks to "religious freedom".
That's the 'fun' part of guerilla tactics... you get to use the enemy's strengths against them, in this case our FReedoms.
