Just keep telling yourself..."It's a religion of peace, it's a religion of peace, it's a religion of peace..."It's a religion of peace, It's a religion of peace, It's a religion of peace, It's a religion of peace, It's a religion of peace......
Nope it ain't working....Sorry

You must not be watching much tv there Doc. Christians are forever hijacking planes and flying them into buildings, kidnapping reporters and sawing off their heads, stoning women to death for being raped, strapping bombs to themselves and blowing Jewish day care centers...It's been on all the TV channels.

You are so right. I will contact my cable provider right away and request my subscription to the Christian Jihadist History Chanel. Thanks for the advice...*snicker*

Thanks for reminding us. It truly is appreciated. But what are they doing to stop the spread of madrasses and the indoctrination of the children?

There you go now.
Just sit back, beat your wife with a rod no bigger than your thumb, give your prepubescent daughter a nice home clitorectomy, strap a suicide belt to your son and you'll feel right as rain in the morning.

Christians don't exactly have clean hands either, damnit.... Of course they do - they are way ahead. The Magdalene Laundries have been shut down for, what, eight or nine years now. ;)

Kids are sent to madrassas by impoverished parents because they can't feed the kids, and madrassas furnish room and board. How do they do that? Because wealthy Muslims (Saudis) finance the schools.
The purpose of madrassas are to train up fully-indoctrinated shock troops of the global jihaad.
Shut down the money men, and the madrassas go broke, and the radical imams have to actually make a living doing something useful ("Would you like fries with your barbeque pork sandwich?")

Anyone who thinks the Islamofascists can be lived with is deluding himself. The more I learn, the more I think it's a case of them or us.
You're right about Islamofascists, but as for the many of the people in their nations, there is hope for cultural conversion.
Those of the people who lived through what these two boys lived through, and kept some sanity and are currently keeping quiet for fear of their necks - have hope for them.
Think of the people in Iraq who give tips to US service men about where terrorists hid roadside bombs. Think of the parents of Baby Noor, who will watch her grow up knowing that her chance at a childhood was thanks to some good US soldiers. Think of the Jordan newspaper editor who ran the comics, said in an editorial that they were no big deal (and then got fired for his sanity).
Not all the people in Muslim countries are Islamofascists threatening violence; probably many are people who manage to maintain some touch with their inner moral compass despite their religious text, and are pretty freaked out by their insane neighbors, but are keeping silent for fear.
The Bush administration is doing what is right by these folks, and what is right for our defense, at once, and I think we need to stick by this two-pronged approach.

"You cannot make a blanket statement like that without showing your ignorance."
Ignorance is bliss. And you are a blissful apologist. A rattlesnake that hasn't bitten you yet is still a rattlesnake and still poisonous, none the less.

Like I said, when I see your pals marching in the streets denouncing the psychopaths who seem to be running the "All Islam All The Time" channel.
So what would you have happen? Bomb everyone flat because the moderates aren't not out in the streets taking on better-armed, frenzied, violent, Saudi-funded maniacs?
I think Bush's approach defends us while not being unnecessarily brutal to others. We'll win because we're stronger and better and much, much more sane. And we don't need to bomb whole regions flat to do it.
To: RouxStir
Not bitten by the snake huh? Ignorant huh? The only reason I am even able to reply to this post of yours is because back in September of 2003 my front plate stopped the AK-47 bullet headed straight for my heart, the impact of which broke three of my ribs. When we killed that "insurgent" MF we found he was carrying a Syrian passport.
So tell my again how I have not been bitten by the rattlesnake?

Not all of them, but I would start with Damascus and Tehran. Then I would make it perfectly clear to the Saudis that the next act of terror sponsored by their spawn Al Queda will get a W-88 dialed up to about 25 kilotons detonated right over Mecca.
If we kill enough of them, they'll stop fighting.

So why isn't the US Government responding to this rather obvous State Sponsored Act Of War? Why aren't a couple of armored divisions rolling on Damascus?
And just for the record, I pulled more than one dead Marine out of the rubble of the barracks in Beirut so don't go telling my I haven't paid my dues.
I've been 'bitten by the snake', too. I'm just not willing to have a second go around with 'em.
Once again, thanks for your service. And I hope you buried the bastard who shot you wrapped in a pigskin face down with his feet towards Mecca.

Thank you for your service, and thank you for defending your friends. There are a lot off Freepers who don't keep up with the Iraqi threads or they would know that Iraqis ARE out in the streets protesting against these thugs. They'd also know that the Grand Ayatollah Sistani has told the Iraqi Shiia that although the insult was great, it was because of terrorist thugs that the cartoons were drawn and westerners have this impression of Islam.

To: Lurker
OK, that might very well work to keep us defended and to get them to stop fighting and start building sane countries. You know more about this than I do.
My main concern is that I don't want my country to kill people, especially moderate people who could possibly live decently sane lives in a better political system, cheaply (not that anyone here really suggested that we should; I'm probably being oversensitive). Only in defense, and to prevent larger long-term death tolls, and to kill the perverse governments and systems that threaten us and their own people.
Your answer fits into this general outlook, as does Bush's answer. I don't know enough to judge which is technically better.
