Kind of makes you wonder what kind of sick-minded idiots would have to sit around and think up this crap...

Even though I'd like to think well of all peoples around the globe, reading SH*T like this makes me wonder if there isn't something to people saying there is an inherent flaw of the belief of the Muslims about "other" religions.

I'm beginning to think (yes, I am a ssslllooowww learner) that this *IS* a religious war -- not Christian against Islam but Islam against EVERY non-Islam in the world...

Well, certainly there is a group that does want it to become a religious war. Success in sowing that mentality, though, is essential for them to have any hope of defeating the US and the west, which is why they keep pushing the rhetoric that direction. Without this being viewed as a religious war, the terrorists will be stuck out on the fringe of their own societies.

So we cannot let them win that propaganda prize.

Islam against EVERY non-Islam in the world...

Isn't that precisely what the Koran is all about???
See also The Danger Within and We Will Replace the Bible... for some insight on the Islamic movement to purge the U.S. (and the rest of the planet).

not Christian against Islam but Islam against EVERY non-Islam in the world...

No mystery there. OBL has repeatedly declared that his war is against Christians and Jews.

He might mistakenly have left out Hindus and Bhuddists, but Mullah Omar made the point clear when he ordered the destruction of the Bamiyan Bhudda statues last spring.

Islam demands the obliteration of all "false idols," and of course it's just A-OK to murder, rape, rob, and ravage all "non-believers."

Koran LXXVI/4: "Lo! We have prepared for disbelievers manacles and carcans and a raging fire."

After all, Islam is "the religion of peace."
