Then how do you suggest we resolve this matter?

Submit, roll over and let them kill us.

Calling Islam a peaceful religion "is an increasingly hard argument to make," said Kenneth Adelman, a former Reagan official who serves on the Bush Pentagon's Defense Policy Board. "The more you examine the religion, the more militaristic it seems. After all, its founder, Mohammed, was a warrior, not a peace advocate like Jesus."

Another member of the Pentagon advisory board, Eliot Cohen of the Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies, wrote an article on the Wall Street Journal editorial page arguing that the enemy of the United States enemy is not terrorism "but militant Islam." "The enemy has an ideology, and an hour spent surfing the Web will give the average citizen at least the kind of insights that he or she might have found during World Wars II and III by reading 'Mein Kampf' or the writings of Lenin, Stalin or Mao."

Well, that's clearly BS. IMO, we should fight them.

Just make sure we're beating Bin Laden and not Lamonte..

Because the latter would be unjust.

PS: This frightens me allot. Sure, it's easy to impose harsh penalties and enact laws against Arabs. I mean, look at them. You can pick them out of a crowd easily. There is no hiding them. Personally I find them repulsive, so it's easy.

But those same laws are going to be in place tomorrow. It's like a cannon that can be aimed down anyones throat.

Muslims today, Catholics tomorrow, then the Hindu's.. All you have to do is find a crime large enough to effectively call the whole religion and/or race complicit and you're home free.

You know, if it was Tim McVeigh's crowd that did 9/11 things would be much, much different and if it happened under Clinton's watch we would all be in prison just for logging on to FR.

Remember that.
