Re: Perfect example of why we need to actively fight Islamo-facism
[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ] There seem to be a lot of people in this forum who believe that if we just leave the Muslim world alone they'll stop attacking us. But do you really expect people who are willing to kill someone for merely naming a teddy bear Mohammad are going to just leave us alone? Of course not. These people are completely irrational and are bent on destroying Western civilization as we know it. [/ QUOTE ] Um, if we had "left them alone," and stopped sending charities and people over there to "help" them, this teacher wouldn't have been there in the first place and this wouldn't have been an issue. [/ QUOTE ] Yeah why we just leave Sudan alone so the islamic extremists who control the government can be left alone to continue their oppression and killing of those who practice other religions in Darfur. And how cruel indeed to "force" a fat unattractive middle-aged western teacher on them. Oh the injustice!

If you go into a lion's den don't start bitching when they maul your ass. Also, feel free to go and defend those you care about in Darfur.

Which seems just as irrational to me as getting in a lather if a person of a certain race dosnt sit at the back of the bus. Btw does 100 lashes for being raped = being killed by police officers and dumped in a swamp for encouraging people of a certain race to vote?

The lashings for rape is a policy from the highest level of government.

[/ QUOTE ] What we actually believe is that initiating violence is wrong. Make peace with them, give them back their land and settle things, and see what happens. If, after this, they initiate violence on us, then it will be legitimate to attack them and not before. [ QUOTE ] But do you really expect people who are willing to kill someone for merely naming a teddy bear Mohammad [/ QUOTE ] Sorry, no. Protesting rhetoric != doing. By this logic, anyone who protests "down with Bush" should be treated as if they've actually assaulted the president and hanged for treason. Then again, maybe you actually believe this.

Re: Perfect example of why we need to actively fight Islamo-facism
In 1944, 13% of Americans wanted to "kill all Japanese" and in December 1945 22% wished the United States had had the opportunity to use "many more" atomic bombs before Japan had a chance to surrender.
