It amuses me the level of simplicity on which some people think. I've heard four year old with more insight. I dont mean this about every comment on this page. Just the slogan one's "you know who I mean". To really know the truth one must research the history and events that have led us to this point, with an open mind. Unfortunently, "those who do not learn from history are condemned to repeat it." You can kill a man but you cannot kill his ideas. Within living history, there was not animosity between the Muslim east and the American west, so one must ask what changed when did it change and what were the change of events that led to this day. I have a pretty good idea of the answers, but evryone must find out for themselves. "knowledge will set you free".

Welcome to Free Republic.

Care to be specific about your claims?

[CasearianDaoist]

Just what are you trying to say? Could you be more specific or is your "thought" as convoluted as your prose?

...knowledge will set you free

Has your Chomskyite education set you free?

You must have missed the part about the little war that President Thomas Jefferson had with the Barbary pirates. America has been at odds with Muslims from the beginning... it was only in the past century we've had much contact with them.

European history is replete with instances of Islamic aggression. In their "open mindedness" Europe's socialist regimes have forgotten their history which is written in the blood of Christians slaughtered at Muslim hands. Spain is most egregiously guilty of this.
