That's sure a nice way of putting it, Pat.

Use some common sense

-------------------------

I tried common sense, but you didn't like it. Where should we go from here?

Thanks, is there a way to post an image that ends in .htm or . html, with out having to form a click thingy?

Well, a webpage is not really an image. A webpage might have an image in it you want to post, but you cannot post a webpage as an image here on FR.

I understand what the Bush administration is trying to accomplish, and I hope they succeed. We do not want to take on all of Islam unless we have no other choice. Indeed, as a civilized nation, we have a duty to try to avoid such a war.

The evil part of Islam is manifestly NOT a religion of peace. The evil ones are seeking to gain control of the entire religion. We should not make it easy for them to do so.

Hopefully, the evil part is not the majority (we do not know). However, even if it is not the majority, the evil part is already strong enough that most of the rest of Islam is afraid to speak out.

Now is not the time to give the Islamic extremists more fuel for their insane fire. Our own religious leaders have a duty to consider their words carefully.

The day has come when a pimple of a dictator like Saddam Hussein can make biological weapons capable of killing millions. The stakes are very high. Let's not make it easier for the evil ones.

On this map the heathen world of 1884 is colored green.

You got it now!
Obviously I added some extra spaces in the HTML in order to not make the FR server interpret them as HTML.
That way you can get an idea of how HTML tags are created.

Now imagine all the 1.3 billions of persons in that swath of green who do NOT rape or murder,
who hold to and believe in the words of the Qu'ran which states that God's attributes are the merciful and the compassionate.

Um, you got your dates all mixed up. Try 719 AD.

Question: "Is Islam a religion of peace?"

Answer. Look at history. Look at facts. The facts are an open book.

The evil one's name was Mohammad. Control took place nearly 1,500 years ago.

...and I am sure that most German and Japanese were kind decent folk circa 1939-1945.

We still had a world war, did we not?

Bravo !

Excellent essay. I respectfully suggest that you put into letter form and send it to the White House as soon as possible. I also repectfully suggest that you send your essay out to major news services as a Guest Commentary. Your commentary is really good, and ought to be published. As widely as possible.

Now I have one very humble prediction. If there is as much as a single new terrorist attack by Islamics on U.S. soil -- resulting in deaths of innocent Americans -- there will inevitably be small, secret groups formed to fight terrorists. They will sprout up literally over night. In cities and towns and villages all across this great nation.

And that prospect causes me to be seriously concerned for the tragic and terrible consequences that will begin to unfold.

There are Islamic sleeper cells already here in the USA. It is time we look at 82 year old grandmas in airports and search those we know who cause terrorism the Muslim Arabs.

[ex-Texan]

I'm for strip searching all know Islamics. Even 82 year old grannies in burquas.

Burquas can easily hide strap on belt bombs.

That really is one heck of an essay! Brilliantly stated points, the litany of terror that is Islam. Get this published, and sent to the White House and various congresscritters.
