I'm somewhat skeptical about the whole "Islam only used to justify Arab imperialism" idea. If Muhammad never existed, who was leading all these nomadic invaders at first?

Now he does not consider himself British.
"I am a Muslim living in Britain, and I give my allegiance only to Allah." -Sayful

Now they do not consider themselves American.
"We are democrats living in America, and we give our allegience only to the Democrat party."-Pelosi, Kennedy, Daschle , et al.....

The people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders...tell them they are being attacked ~Herman Goering

No need to tell Americans this. We saw it on TV. Your friends made their intentions very clear.

"We may be facing the same situation now."

What do you mean "we MAY be." My friend, we ARE facing the same situation now. And we better realize it and do something about it before it's too late.

Hey Saladin: If you hate us so much, all I can say is what President Bush said: Bring it on! You and your ilk have been spoiling for a fight with us for a long time, so I'm here to tell you the battle will be joined.

In high school, the history books we used always tried to condemn Cortez. My teacher went out of his way to try to show us just who the Aztec's were and why Cortez felt he had to destroy them. In short, the Aztec's were evil. We may be facing the same situation now.

Good thing the King and Queen of Spain didn't go around calling Aztec human sacrifice a "religion of peace."

The older I get, the more I am thankful for the education I got at that high school in the middle of a corn field. In general, the teachers pulled no punches. History was taught pretty objectively, and this was just one instance.

Today most of the teachers from when I was there have retired. I am afraid the students at my old high school now do not receive the type of education I did. While we did look at some of the bad things the US did (Sheridan wiping out the Indians, Japanese internment camps in WWII), he always went out of his way to show that those policies were viewed as necessary at the time.

[Gritty]

Muslims have been a threat to the life and liberty of their neighbors for 14 centuries. Nothing has changed.

[wizr]

Great article.

But, I still say we had our own jihad, right here in the good ol' US of A.

Only, we called it "Manifest Destiny".

[Little Ray]

Don't beat yourself up too badly. Think about the folks the Indians exterminated before their turn came.
And about the internment camps: Have you ever thought what would have happened to those Japanese Americans when we found out about things like the Bataan Death March? In many ways, the internment camps were protective custody...

[AMDG&BVMH]

"How easily evil seeps into pagan and idol worshipping cultures and infests their people with a murderous heart.
On the bright side, Christ always wins."

With prayer, as well as the will to fight as needed when needed (and no more) . . . The Christians prayed for the success of the Battle of Lepanto (at the request of the Pope), and Austria prayed itself out of the Soviet zone in the 50s -- with the rosary. Could/would they do it again today?

Will is necessary, but action without faith and prayer is not going to defeat Muslimism or any other evil. Just a reminder ;).

Salidin 2004. Since 06-02-2004. I see Viking Kittens in his future.

[redgolum]

I never have felt "guilty" about the Indians or the Japenese. Those things happened in times of war, and while some of Sheridan's tactics would be labeled "war crimes" the fact that we can debate them now means that they worked.

My Grandpa remembered WWII very well. They burned all the German hymnals to avoid having the rest of the town burn down their houses.

[fishtank]

My thoughts also.

Why did the author feel the necessity of ascribing a human origin to the Koran? I think it DID have a supernatural origin. Muhammed was talking to an unclean spirit in a cave and that's how the Koran was written.

[headsonpikes]

Hey, Osama!

Your mother does pigs.

The day will come, of course, when the Muzzies overreach.

They already have. 9/11 is a prime example of overreaching. Now if they'd waited till they had 'Nukes or a useable biological device...

[Tallguy]

(The red cross stated that 70-90% of prisoners held were innocent of any crime)or maybe you may call this a little fun, well the Nazis would have also called it a little fun.

And just how did the Red Cross arrive at that little statistic? Picked out of thin air, I bet.
