Let me point out all of Turkey ad most of the ME and N.Africa were once Christian. The MUSLIMS stole that land and those people. They didn't convert or give up their land voluntarily. Now suppose we and the Europeans decide to take that back? Isn't this self-defense in your sense? Why use suicide bombers? We don't have too, as you yourself admitted. Aren't we justified? The Iraq war can simply be included as part of this; it was part of th Eastern Roman Empire, which Emperor Constantine decreed Christian.

You thinks this is bad? Have some of those suicide bombers blow up in Times Square, or BART, or LA City Hall, ... and see what happens. You want to see just how much WAR this country can make?

Exactly what of the above do you deny? That Christianity began 600 years before Islam? That it spread through the Roman Empire, both East and West and this included a large part of the Middle East including Israel (Roman province of Judea), several Roman provinces making up Turkey (largely Asia, Bithynia, and Galatia)and all of N. Africa north of the Sahara. Why, if they are allowed to "defend Islam" in NYC, are we not allowed to defend western civilization in Iraq? Eh?

Go ahead, see if you can get Sully to ban me for being too handsome to participate on this thread
I doubt Sully knows or cares what you look like. You're hardly his type.

He also has a rather long fuse, which I heartily approve of.
