I'm still waiting for the Islamic world to conndem things like this. Looks like I'm in for a very long wait...

I've seen it coming ever since we failed to reciprocate for the deaths of our soldiers in the 1980s. I and we should wipe out this threat before it attempts to claim more lives of our fellow Americans --- or anyone else in the Western World, for that matter.

What I was writing about, on this thread and elsewhere, that we do not need to point at holy books in order to justify our resolve to fight evil. It is a simple point, I thought: the Bible is not responsible for the evil acts of Christians; likewise, Quran is not reposnsible for the evil deeds of the Arabs.

Yes, but if the Quran calls for it, is it actually "evil?"

2.24: "..be on your guard against the fire of which men and stones are the fuel; it is prepared for the infidels."
2.191: "And kill them wherever you find them... such is the recompense for infidels."
4.89: "...if they turn [away from Allah's way], then seize them and kill them wherever you find them, and take not from among them a friend or a helper."
4.101: "...surely the infidels are your open enemy."
9.29: "Fight those who do not believe in Allah ... until they pay the tax in acknowledgement of superiority and they are in a state of subjection."
9.30: [of Jews and Christians] may Allah destroy them; how they are turned away!
9.73: "...strive hard against the infidels .. and be unyielding to them; and their abode is hell, and evil is the destination."
25.52: "So do not follow the infidels, and strive against them mightily."
