A better question would be to ask the muslims if they wish to erase all other religions. How many would say yes?

European history is replete with many stories of forced conversions, too. Supposedly therefore Christianity is the enemy, to say which would be nonsense.

People spouting off against a valid religion are just being bigoted. Where they bring facts from history to supposedly bolster their case is where they are proclaiming hopelessness and despair as well as any Democratic politician.

History is in the past. But it is funny that you compare the horror of the inquistion to the current behavior of a "valid religion." I guess then for you it is acceptaqble for them to attempt to use their religious beliefs to force domination of the world due to the fact that it is their turn since eurpe did it once. Let's deal with the present. To question their belief doesn't make you a bigot, just self-preservationist.

How do you propose to surrender? Or would you prefer to be massacered? You give yourself many options in your lack of willinginess to stand up for your personal beliefs and in your foolish critisms of those that are willing too.

Where did I criticize ?I do know that we didn't kill all Japanese,all Germans.You propose exactly what?

I don't claim to "fight" for my beliefs.Many a brave Christian in many parts of the world does and many a brave soldier has done so and continues to do so.I support and honor them.

No, we just carpet bombed and nuked them into submission. Of course since they were countries, and not idealogies it was much simpler to define the enemy. Were all germans nazies? Since we are now at war with a religion now, you seem to think that we should do what? So far all you have done is to call anyone a bigot who challenges what you call a "valid" religion whatever that means.
