Join us or defect to the towelheads.
You are no less the problem than "they" are.
"They" did not pick the fight with us, a bunch of terrorists picked a fight with us.
"Join us or defect to the towelheads."
You are as demented as they are, and every bit as possesed by Satan.
Now suddenly the past isn't relevent.
What isn't relevent is branding an entire religion based on the actions of a fanatical minority.
Now, the fanatical sects dominating Islam have an inherent need to maintain their worshippers ignorant, and uneducated.
They need troops.
I have this insane notion that the problems in Palestine, and the continuing acts of war against Israel are designed by radical Muslims who do not wish to see the Palestinians at peace with Israel, and educated enough to understand that the rest of the Muslim world has been using them for decades.
Imagine Arafat out, a permanent peace with Israel, and education...could very well bring about the fall of the Wahhabi radicals world wide.
How about the truth?
Since the cataclysmic events of September 11, 2001, and the start of the Afghan war, journalists and politicians have often spoken of a collision or war of civilizations, following Professor Samuel Huntington's hypothesis. Was that collision determined by the traditional relations between Islam and infidel non-Muslims? Both the historical roots of the question — and the answer — can be found in Bat Yeor's works. The philosopher Jacques Ellul wrote in the preface to her previous book that "the jihad is an institution, not an event." This new volume examines that "institution" and links it to dhimmitude, which also was to become institutionalized. This study covers a period of 14 centuries — from the rise of Islam and through the resurgence of dhimmitude in contemporary conflicts, such as the breakup of Yugoslavia and the Palestinian intifadas.The author shows how, from the birth of Islam, the submission of the infidels led to the dispossession of their lands and to their economic exploitation through protection-ransom relationships. Freedom of worship was restricted for Jews and Christians, and Christian proselytizing was prohibited. Individuals were subjected to degrading treatment and their human liberties limited. Though Europe's advances in the East brought hope and protection to non-Muslims (the dhimmis), the rise of Arab nationalism — and the achievement of independence by Muslim states — was to mark a return of repressive regimes, not only in countries where the sharia is strictly applied (Saudi Arabia, Iran, Sudan, Pakistan) but in countries which have "adapted," if not completely adopted, it (Egypt, Iraq, and the autonomous Palestinian Authority).

What do I want? I want the administration to quit jerking me around. I want a President who has the guts to point at the peope who are killing us and say "they are the Enemy" -- no matter how much it costs him politically.
All I want is for this administration to tell the truth about Islam. Instead, we're getting told that the people who destroyed our buildings, killed three thousand innocent people, and firebombed that nightclub are mere fringe members of some mythical "religion of peace". Baloney. Anyone who takes the time to honestly examine the history of Islam can only conclude that, far from being a religion of peace, the heresy of Mohammed is at its core a religion of war. By refusing to deal honestly with the American people regarding Islam, the administration only fosters more distrust among the people of the United States, and hastens the day when these same peaceloving people come back with an atom bomb to kill even more of us.
What does it take to make people realize that we have enemies? Three thousand people and a smoking hole in the ground and they still won't acknowledge the truth!
What do I want? I want an admission of the obvious truth: that it's Us vs. Them, and one or the other is going to win. But I'm not going to get what I want. Instead, I'm going to get to watch as we keep playing nice with the "peaceful" people of Islam -- people whose fondest dream is to see my civilization in ruins, my culture destroyed, my Faith stamped out and me and mine with our throats cut.
What I want only God can give. May He raise up a champion for your people -- a holy warrior who will take the banner of St. George in hand, cry "Deus vult!" and, in the name of Jesus Christ, unashamedly defend Christianity from her enemies.
Yes, the elite were filled with wisdom and understanding. Meanwhile, the other 99% of the population remained in the Dark Age where they were thrown when the Arabs conquered the Roman Empire.
Most people today don't know it but in the Roman Empire literacy was the norm, at least for citizens and inside the major metro areas. Museums have litterally tons of letters written by common soldiers to the folks back home. The folks back home wrote back, as well.
I think the 4 or 5 thousand Muslims that died in Afghanistan understand it is "US v Them". I think Saddam Insane understands that it is "Us v Them". I think that those presently on trial understand that it is "US v Them" All of those at GITMO believe it is "US v Them" Our military folks that have been killed and wounded so far understand that is "US v Them". Every Mullah in the Middle East knows it is “US v Them”. What is not to understand? Every bomb dropped is your "admission" that it is "US v Them". Or is what you are saying that every Muslim in this country and around the world should be open season with no bag limit?
No, I don't think so.
I've always heard 3rd times a charm......Lets Roll
