"...is it the best idea to wage war against them then?"

What were we doing wrong on Sept 10th? Who exactly started this war? (hint: It wasn't Israel)

I received a free Koran and ditched it in the office garbage. I should have put it in the litter box at home instead.

And that's your answer? C'mon out of the closet and say that we were hit due to our own fault if that's what you think.

im not interested in that. but the first thing i read:
"Kill the disbelievers wherever we find them" (Koran 2:191)

is it the best idea to wage war against them then?why is it impossible for two groups of people to exist, but not agree?

It's kind of hard to understand your question because your verbiage is as undeveloped as your spelling and understanding of the world, but maybe because one of the groups is hell bent on killing all those who disagree with them?

Why is it that muslims can visit The Vatican, but non muslims are forbidden from setting foot in Mecca?

Why is it that every border muslims share with "the infidel" is soaked in blood from muslim aggression?  Is that just a coincidence?

Oh, and your definition of terrorism?  Here's a hint, it doesn't have anything to do with politics, it has to do with the deliberate targeting of civilians.  Explain where the U.S. does that, please.

Damn. Dude just up and vanished. Maybe it was an act of US terrorism that did him in.

Maybe study hall is over.  And you're not allowed to bookmark anything, 'cause those are the school's computers and everybody's got to share them, you know?  So maybe we'll never see him again.

I'm sure in his pubescent mind, he made mince meat out of some Conservatives today, though.

while many in the media and the leftist fringes don't want us to remember

Happened to catch a canuck channel last night interviewing the wife of one of the Muslims arrested on Sunday. She was in full burka garb..barely could see her eyes. The news reporter kept playing the violin, making sure to present her as a "victim" of those oh-so-cruel police, and that she had every right to practice her religion, even if it meant being indifferent to her husbands bomb-making activities.

She looked like the Grim Reaper.

I believe the individuals in these photographs of 9/11 may have jumped on the hope that faith provides. Hope against all hope..that they would survive. They jumped perhaps toward the miracle that might save them. None of these jumps should be considered suicide..if anything they were murdered.

The article seems like an attempt glorify the photographers ability to not look away and then interprets that ability as a real understanding of the human beings he observes...never once taking faith in to account.

Re reading it is just as hard.

Maybe he didn't jump at all, because no one can jump into the arms of God.

Oh, no. You have to fall.
