    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.

      Your logic can be applied to the other groups which is why its relevant.
      Might have jumped the gun with anti gay terrorist groups since I cant think of anything but people who fire bomb abortion clinics = terrorists. And yes I meant anti right groups

    And I am disgusted by the large number of well-fed, safe-and-secure US citizens who are so deeply critical of their country, and who even hate it.

      Just because one is a Muslim, he/she does not possess the privilege of saying who is really a Muslim and who is not -- just as Christians do not have that privilege. Thus, if an outlaw says that he is Muslim or Christian, then that is what he is.

      Hooke, pobrecita. You are trying to run that old-school, left-wing routine of accusing others of not answering your questions when that was not the issue in the first place -- and you are incapable of getting something as simple as that done.

      Bulloney.I stated my opinion, you asked for "proof", I told you my sources for belief. You refuse to answer a simple query about ISIS: which IS the issue, since you are claiming ISIS is Islam. Did Rush tell you, or CBS evening news?You been to Syria?

      Hooke, your writings to this question are nothing but mierda that only someone with a childlike mind would believe or accept as the truth. In fact, by continuing this exchange, I am stooping beneath my dignity.

      Dignity is the last word I would associate with this conversation.More like obfuscation, propaganda and slurs. Doesn't matter.This is the Apocalypse.The veils are lifting to reveal the truth.Be on the right side or    the wrong. My conscience clear.

      Hooke, last evening, something significant occurred to me. Since you insist on running a game on me concerning my "sources" as to emergence of ISIS and its genesis -- my primary "source" is the Fox News Channel & if you don't like that, tough!

      Hooke, I am really glad you're finally satisfied. But I can't resist saying one more thing: I take TV news and what is written on the internet with a grain of salt. I am not the naïve type who believes info that is spoon-fed to me. I'm not like you

      Really?You believe 19 amateurs outwitted the US military,CIA, NORAD, FBI, and our fighter jets somehow failed to do what they do on ever other occasion without fail.You also believe ISIS is a Muslim terrorist org cause Hannity tells you so.BIG spoon!

      Let us reach a truce. I will remain north of the Orange River and you will remain south of it. In other words, I will continue to hold my opinions and you will continue to hold yours -- and neither of us shall dispute the views of the other. Okay?

      I will always dispute your views. If you don't want to talk to me: fine by me.

      Okay, then I will take this to the United Nations (I live only about two miles from its world headquarters in New York City). I will file a complaint with the body that outlines your refusal to lay down your arms, as I have done. : )

      lovemychrisposted 9 years agoin reply to this

      Whhhat? I agreed not to talk to you.....but I will still dispute your views. As you will dispute mine. Every time you say ISIS is Islam, you are disputing my views. Get it?

      feenixposted 9 years agoin reply to this

      If I express my views about ISIS in a way that is NOT directed at you -- and you openly criticize me for my views -- I will have no other choice but to regard that as hate speech.

      lovemychrisposted 9 years agoin reply to this

      1st of all, check back the comments. It is not I criticizing you feenix. YOU are the one demeaning me personally. And I already agreed to your request. I will not speak to you. But I will speak my mind. Hate speech-that's a laugh coming from you!

      Link, I am pretty sure that out there in the real world, you get on a lot of people's nerves. You are annoying; and you probably turn off all the young women you encounter. In other words, you just are not hip and cool.

      Putting aside that you just got done telling me I had no right to assume anything about you since I dont know you, not that I did to begin with, what does any of that have to do with what was being said?

      feenixposted 9 years agoin reply to this

      Link, I deeply apologize for being discourteous and rude towards you. And quite frankly, the reason why I frequently lose my cool with you is, you do a very good job of jerking my chain. You've got my number.

      If you actually took the time to read and properly respond to what is said to you, you wouldnt lose your cool at all feenix. Instead, you would end up having a discussion.
      If you havent noticed, thats kinda been the goal all along.

      Feenix, you keep managing to come around. I love it. Everybody has buttons. People will always push them. What you do is up to you. It's challenges that have made you so strong. You have a good heart and that matters. Your father would be proud

      No prob... It's what I do. Gotta get up and go to work tomorrow. Bills don't pay themselves. I went on a journey last month and got behind. In fact, my wife had to go back to being a waitress. Darn good one too. Sleep tight feenix

    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?

      I have made the connection because to stand outside of a Mosque with guns and hateful signs makes as much sense as randomly harassing Catholics because of the Christian terrorists who invaded this continent.

      wrenchBiscuit, "Christian terrorists invaded this continent?" Obviously, you have been thoroughly brainwashed by far-left-wing educators and by the revisionist history posted in hippy-style history books and emotional rants on way-out web sites.
