Hey Nethead..

Just because you spent a few years overseas doesn't even begin to give you the right to call the posters on this thread idiots. That is a pretty broad reaching statement..

And.. it is not just a few Muslim extremists that are rioting and burning embassies, but more like thousands and thousands of them.

Now.. if you want to discuss the issues addressed in this thread in a civil manner with out the name calling, you are welcome.. but if you wanna continue the low brow name calling and disrespectful tone.. do us all a favor and leave...

ego? He's just like Douglas Niedemeyer in Animal house rich,spoiled,arrogant,nationalistic and very very powerful to the people he serves.

When did our country get sucked into believing that our way of life was the one and only way of life? thats exactly what the french,spanish and english thought when they set out to conquer the world! they killed millions created divisions that still exsist today and accomplished one thing! They made the rich richer and the poor mad as hell. Arabic peoples have given so much to mankind(math,language,law,civilization) how can GW with his high school education and Texas mentality(which is great for football or war) judge what and whom is moral? and just? he knows nothing of hardship,poverty,oppression or history! He is just as conditioned as you and me but he has the power? sounds funny! WE THE PEOPLE should have the power! And we do but we just dont use it! we are to concerned about the superbowl to ever really accept the responsibilty that our forefathers gave us! And what was the revolution about? A group of people that rose up and told the king we the people want more than just your morals,Laws and rules and now we kill the very people that are saying that to us. The peasants are revolting, yes they are. But according to our own constitution and bill of rights they have the right to deny our domination. Wake-up America and realize your leaders dont give a damn about you!


Wow and I thought I had a problem with spelling and grammer.

Yea I am American, but that doesn't mean I don't respect folks of other countries. I'm not ignorant either to what goes on outside my borders either. Wars have gone on since the beginning of time. Religion has always played a big part in wars. It's an ugly cycle that's probaly gonna continue untill a big astroid wipes us out like the dinosaurs.

Gotta disagree with you here, bro. The threat needs to be imminent. Iran is not an imminent threat.



Had we attacked Syria instead of Iraq, I would've supported it as chasing the enemy. Bush has clearly shown he has other interests. I'm very ambivalent about supporting further action.

Now how is that any different from an islamic fundamentalist calling for a holy war against the west?

The stockpiles of chem weapons went to Syria. Thats the greatest threat, as soon as a decent delivery aystem is set up they will be used.

Iraq didn't have a stockpile of chemical weapons, Iraq had nothing to do with 911, the people who attacked were saudi arabian funded by Saudi Arabia and led by a Saudi.

The boldest measures are often the most successful but only if it is the right one to take.

Its right to defend yourself or your country against a potential threat, be it religious idealism or an actual viable weapon.

A pre-emptive strike against what? Who do you target, how do you target what weapons do you use. Most is all perhaps a pre-emptive strike is hardly an option that one is forced in to. It's a choice taken by someone facing a stronger enemy and hopes to so weaken an enemy they can't fight back. There is no such thing as a limited war, or precision warfare, just warfare.

I completly disagree with your assessment, although war is war, it is limited in scope and engagement by smaller objectives. You sytematically target and concentrate fire on the areas that house the weapons destroying them or burying them limiting their use. Thats the kind of premptive strike Im expressing. If they then send out their folks to fight we engage conventianally.

Why not just totally withdraw from the middle east, stop trading with them, stop buying their oil and bankrolling Israel and propping up Saudi arabia and let them fight it out amongst themselves and then deal with the regimes that emerge. Without western arms industries supplying them they will very soon be down to bows and arrows. Is there any reason why we need to bother trading with them?

Foolishness, utter foolsihness, they are limited and fight among themselves for a reason, that reason is that other nations around the globe have diplomatically made agreements with them in good faith. Your wrong sir, they will tool up and make weapons themselves, right now its just easier to buy them on the open market. That has to be the f most foolish assessment Ive ever heard you make GMC, Im shocked that you think that if we leave them to themselevs they wont come after us in grouped force. Your the one so hot against religious fundamentalism, you ought to know what will happen.




Foolishness, utter foolsihness, they are limited and fight among themselves for a reason, that reason is that other nations around the globe have diplomatically made agreements with them in good faith.


I was being ever so slightly facetious when I suggested withdrawing all contact. Would be nice, at least the extremists would just have each other to fight amongst.

I'm sorry but I just don't believe that any more than I believed the hype about Iraq having WMD's. the West sold him all the stuff we knew what he had. If terrorists want to use chemical weapons or even s simple nuclear dirty bomb you don't need fancy delivery systems. Stick a bomb in a contaioner and ship it to new yorl or wherever and the odds of it being sgtopped are pretty remote unless the intelligence services are really on the ball. There is enough radioactive waste floating around in hospital waste to do the job. A sneak attck is a bigger threat since you wouldn'y know who actually did it. terrorists don't need big delivery sytems.

Believe it or not I would wholeheartedly agree with you on this point. However I am not convinced that picking up a gun is the best way except when all else fails and arguable going in to iraq instead of going after thge real terrorists was a big mistake. Although i expect we shall agree to differ on that one.

I didnt mention Iran in any of my statements above or previous posts here.


I know you didn't. But they are part of all this as well.

No they wont break the west, and were not talking abotu bringin down democracies, I'm talking about stopping the flow of hate from Radical Islam in the form of single attacks on the west that have the potential to kill Innocent NON MILITARY targets, and I'm saying its hundred of thousands of innocent westerners.


Good idea it's the tactics I disagree with. Mind you I'm not pretending to have all the answers, but confrontation, confrontation, confrontation, just plays the game by their rules.

We have to consider the millions of Muslims that already live in the West. The ability to retaliate to any major operation by the West is very close at hand. Neither do we want to start a nuclear escalation.

I think he made the most legal choice we could have, Since Iraq had sanctions and at the time clearly had the most open intel of WMD. Plus we had the added benifit of liberating and gaining allies, which Iraq will eventually be.



Find the weapons, find your enemy, destroy him. There is no turning back, and if we stop the pursuit they win, if we show weakness they win.



I'm not saying we have to like it, I'm saying it is inevitable now. The threat is imminent, Syria is and has been the prime target in the WOT. Iraq had to be taken down first. IMO.



I'm not a global military stratigest, but at this point theres enough common sense intel to point out the tip of the iceberg.



I don't want more war either, and prudence is the best policy, but I think we're running lower on the option list.
Like I said when I first got here, way back in June, we were supposed to be retaliating against the group that attacked us. They were in Afghanistan - we went to Afghanistan. They ran to Syria - we went to ... IRAQ?? I guess to catch them coming out the other side.



I don't care about the WMDs at this point. I'm not even very interested in Syria. Iraq was the UN's war to win or lose; I feel like a vigilante going in there, but we're there and need to finish the job.



But I will not support another skeet hunt. I'm done. Let's clean the trash out of our house unless or until the idiots attack us again.

I think you and I are just at odds as to when to counterattack, Im a bit more preemptive to say the least. My experience demonsatrates to me that I save more of my men if I attack when my enemy is in a lul or weakened or paused or not engageing, tactics I suppose, maybe I need less boots on the ground diplomacy and more nation to nation diplomacy. I suppose I have a lo to learn.


Good point about when to attack but you need to be very sure you are going for the right people in the right way not just the ones you saw standing nearby. Get it wrong you make more terrorists and cause more conflict rather than end it. I also really distrust the present set of elected leaders we have now. there are those on both sides of christianity and islam who seem to want open warfare.

Mohamed cartoons provoke bomb threats against Danish newspaper



A bounty of DKK 50,000 had been put on the head the cartoonist responsible for the drawings, daily newspaper Berlingske Tidende reported on Friday. The Pakistani group offering the reward mistakenly believes that the 12 cartoons were created by just one person.

'But the situation is of course serious,' he said. 'They might want to get to the Danish illustrators, but if they can't reach them, they could make to with a scapegoat.' That scapegoat could be anybody, the embassy warned, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has issued a new travel advisory for Pakistan warning Danes not to visit the country, given that the Jyllands-Posten cartoons were 'seen by many Muslims as derogatory and blasphemous'

Denmark tries to curb Mohammed cartoon damage



I hate Racists and biggots, infact i hate anybody who who mocks or judges ppl.

But i think the Islam law is just to extream and these ppl burning flags have done more damage to there Religion than any picture can, how dare they in a world or country thats allows freedom of speech burn there flags and put a price on there heads, they are a discrace to the word GOD....

How dare the Islamic Religion try and take away your freedom


I Agree.

These Arab Muslims are nothing but nuts. Just plain nutcakes. Strange things is, they do not have any idea how insane they appear to the remainder of the sane world. They are just big babies not even be able to take a cartoon, a cartoon!. They are thin-skinned, overgrown, sex-starved babies.

My friend's husband says that to him, they seem as if they are so crazy and violent because of repressed sexual urges their "religion" places on them. I am thinking he may have a good point. Never in my life have i ever seen such completely crazy people in my life. And they think they are all holier-than-thou. Is there even one ounce of intelligence in any of their pee brains?

Anybody want to see a whole group of them? Try this place http://youregypt.com/forumThey have no idea what separation of church and State means. And they do not have any idea about freedom of speech or personal rights. Try and start a discussion about Islam and freedom of speech, and you will see a few crazies come out of the woods there.



I wonder how any human being (tho they do not seem very human) can actually live with themselves every day, with their insanity. And needing to pray like 5 times a day. ??:rolleyes: Muslims think that Americans have weird "ideologies". Well hey, at least we do not live by archaic and barbaric old ideas and rules and customs from a few thousand years ago, the way that they do.

Can anybody find the actual cartoon that started this?

Sorry but l shall say this in hte nicest possible way..

So it is ok for you to mock another religion, because you do not understand why they pray 5 times a day to Allah..

I could say the same thing about mass, holy communion etc, praying at hte wailing wall and looking a bit odd to many whilst you do it..

It is not our simalarities that make us unique but our differences, and just because l may not understand your religion or culture, l won't come along and mock it :rolleyes: !!!!!!!!!

And l thinkif you knew my friends and family members who are followeers of Islam you would seee that despite the umbrella name of Muslim being the same they live very differently. some pray 5 times somer dont. Some wear hijad and some dont some drink and smoke and some dont, yet they all call themselves Muslim, just have varying levels in how they follow as do mant from every religion.

Oh and just to say they are not all holier than thou sex starved pee brains. A good few of them are very intelligent and a lot more tolerant and respectful than many others l have encountered who have the nerve to point hte finger at them.

So feel free to tell your husbands friend.

Hey kids, it's a good job none of those nasty mad arab ragheads post here right.

I mean, they may take it all the wrong way and think you were being vile and offensive.

After all, all Muslim arabs are mad because we have met every single one.

Obviously if a few nutters talk, then they must be talking for everyone else.

The good old IRA must have been doing something right, those crazy Guiness drinking boys.



I find it disturbing that any muslims that may come onto this forum are being insulted on the actions of a few people.

Funny how nobody saw the IRA as Christian fundamentalists.

Funny also how nobody gave a toss when Milosovic and his Christian boys were slaughtering tens of thousands in the Eastern Block.



I can't believe how offensive some of you are to an entire race.

Saffron, do you know every single 'arab muslim'?

Do you realise how offensive and inane your comments are?

Do you even care?

No?

Well then don't be suprised when they don't care right back atcha.



It's amazing how you will spout such offensive BS and possibly alienate any muslims on this board and wonder why so much haterd exists over the issue.

I can barely tell the difference between the extremists and the ignorant racists anymore.

Considering Muslims and Christians have lived side by side in Persia (Now Iran) Pakistan, Afghanistan, Palestine, etc etc, I think the answer is yes.

I too could give you a few stories but they become redundant.

Perhaps I'll change my tune when I see hundreds of posts littering this place that read offensively to Christians and I'm not just talking about the kid next door who has a PC and decides to have some fun.

Those people making comments against the West, invariably get banned as do any offensive types.

But comments that are out and out offensive and racist to Muslims, get left up on here.

Kinda sucks, no?

You try mentioning Jews in a negative way and bang, you are in serious trouble, but bash muslims and hey, that train will start loading up with passengers.

Hypocritical.

I think any Muslim brothers & sisters out there deserve the same respect as Jewish brothers & sisters.

If I'm a Muslim then that explains everything right?

If I'm a Christian, I should go and live in Iraq?

I'm a Nihilistic Existentialist.

Perhaps if I had to choose, Buddhist would be the way to go forme.

You need to jump off the defensive with me Fletch. I had only the intention of finding out if and what religion you subscribe to. Not for the purpose of using it in any way, but simply to satisfy my own curiosity. To be honest, I have no idea what Nihilistic Existentialist means.

I pray all the time. I don't know who I'm praying to, but I talk to whatever power there might be "out there" for things all the time. My son's safety, my husband's relief from his pain, that my grandfather will live long enough to sing at our "real" ceremony this summer. I'm not versed enough in any religion except the one I ran from screaming in maniacal fear to argue about this on any but the most basic level.

I really just wanted to know if you followed a religion. Plain and simple. No hidden agenda.

I don't think he's a troll, but I do think he's gonna stir things up here! That's just fine with me, by the way. He reminds me of me. Say what you believe and never waver.

I'm not 'one of them' ;)



As for being defensive.

Not at all!!!

But really, it was obvious that would come up reeeeal soon.

I'm actually a laid back dude, foul mouthed and tourettic but unfortunately, the ****ing filter takes care of that ****.



Oh, and Nihilistic Existentialist means I believe in nothing but myself.

Being irreverent and generally taking the Michael is so much a part of our culture we think nothing off it.

Apparently some muslims have twigged this one.

Of course explaining puns is hard enough at any time.

Sorry but l shall say this in hte nicest possible way..

So it is ok for you to mock another religion, because you do not understand why they pray 5 times a day to Allah..

I could say the same thing about mass, holy communion etc, praying at hte wailing wall and looking a bit odd to many whilst you do it..

It is not our simalarities that make us unique but our differences, and just because l may not understand your religion or culture, l won't come along and mock it !!!!!!!!!

Oh and just to say they are not all holier than thou sex starved pee brains. A good few of them are very intelligent and a lot more tolerant and respectful than many others l have encountered who have the nerve to point hte finger at them.

So feel free to tell your husbands friend.


Maybe if we all started laughing more at the differences and stopped looking for offence in everything we would get along a lot better. There is a difference between laughing at differences and mocking.
