Spin it in any way you choose.Call it a war declared by extremist Islamics, a war of ideology, a war of cultures.
Define it down to any level that makes you "feel" comfortable.It still will not change the nature of this war.It is a religious war.An organised religion has openly declared war on this country.That same group has been attacking us for decades, and on 9/11/2001, they openly attacked this nation in such a vile manner that the government of the USA could no longer ignore them or continue to pretend our enemy is an isolated group of crazed criminals.
You attempt to define the fractured sects of all other spiritual belief systems present in the world as theologically equivelant to Islam.
I am not a fan of any organised religion.I do not believe Islam is a "religion" as the term is understood in western society.
Islam is not a spiritual belief system, but more a designation of ideology, in the same way as democracy, socialism, communism etc are defined.
To say most Muslims are not extremists equate to saying some nations are only a little bit communist.
Who is actually carrying Bin Ladens water Luis?
You are.
People like Usama bin Laden WANT a war of religions, so they murder. Then they disguise their power struggle under a thin cloak of religion to fool the less enlightened.
You believe that a war between religions has been called by a non-religious leader.
A bucket in each hand, you're marching off humming "Onward Christian Soldiers."
"In the last century, America was threatened by a global communist revolution. Avoiding all-out war, we outlasted it. And we can outlast this Islamist revolution. What we must avoid is a war of faiths, a war of civilizations between Islam and America. And those who propagandize for such a war are the unwitting or willful collaborators of Osama bin Laden."---Pat Buchanan
