   Besides Demonstrating Stupidity, What is the Point of  Declaring War On Islam?
   
   Many Americans don't care about the historical record. However the record does show that throughout the years Christian countries have committed as many atrocities, if not more, as the Muslim countries. As recent as the late 60's the United States essentially stole the island nation of Diego Garcia, forcing all residents to leave their homes, and reducing them to homelessness. All for the sake of a strategic military base in the Indian Ocean. In light of recent events in Arizona, I support all Muslims, and I respect their right to religious freedom. I do not support evil from any direction.

   The point of declaring war on Islam is to keep the terrorists like ISIS from coming to this country and beheading you for not converting to Islam.  They want a one world Caliphate.  They are slowly taking over, and the weapons we give to Iraq to fight them, the Iraqis are basically handing over to them.

      So...declare war on the entirety of Islam, and everyone who follows it regardless of how they practice, solely because of extremist groups?
      So you wanna declare war on Christianity, gay rights, abortion right, animal right groups etc. as well right?

      No, Link.  That's not what I meant, though all Islam should be watched, as some terrorists are in the U.S. and may be hiding weapons in their Mosques!  Not ALL of them!  No judge will issue search warrant to a place of worship.

       I'm out. Denying the Islamic foundation of ISIS is a special kind of crazy usually reserved for holocaust deniers, those who think 9/11 was an inside job, and people who think the Sandy Hooke massacre was staged. Have fun with your conspiracies.

   First off, we're not at war with Islam. We're at war with some Muslims. There's a difference. If someone wants to praise Allah till the cows come home, I couldn't care less (neither do most non-Muslims). More power to them.
   
   But when they start beheading innocent men, women, and children simply because those other people do not believe as they do, we have a massive problem. When they think they can invade others' homelands and force young girls into sex slavery, we have a massive problem. When they think they can throw gays from rooftops or hang women for fornicating, we have a problem. And when they think they can force the rest of the world to convert at swordpoint and join the regime or die, we have a massive problem.
   
   Whatever tragedies have been committed in the past by whom is irrelevant. We cannot fix the past, as we live in the here and now. We have the capabilities of dealing with groups such as ISIS now. If you, as you say, are against evil from all directions, why are you trying (because it sure seems like you are), to draw moral equivalency to past actions we cannot do anything about in attempt to excuse present atrocities that we *can* do something about?
   
   Why should past wrongs justify or excuse present wrongs?
