I see from your posts that you are a moron. Are you inflating your moronicness to fit in better with the other war-mongers? Tom

Politically correct and Religious tolerance deserves some discussion. One more term needs to be introduced - zero tolerance. Civil liberty group would have us think that it is politically correct to practice religious tolerance. This is correct, Moslems should not preach hatred against Christians and Jews. What happens when Moslems do preach hatred like the Taliban or the Black Panthers. Do you recognize their civil liberty of free speech and turn the other cheek? Yes, unless the statements are unveiled threats of murder and treason. The call for Holy War is an unconditional act of murder both direct in the WTC bombings and the call for Holy War against Christian enemies around the world. The terrorists preach Holy War, i. e. murder to kill their Christain and Jewish enemies. Religious tolerance should not be confused with zero tolerance for murder. It is blatantly obvious who the extremists are and who is supporting them. At the moment that people formally suggest war agianst the US, they should be condemned. The murderous acts of the Taliban give the US legal cause to prosecute those people through military action. Holy War from an extremist calls for zero tolerance. The people that think we need to sit around and contemplate Bin Laden's message are kidding themselves from the potential danger from religious zealots. Holy War cannot be addressed with Enlightenment or the Holy Peace of Christian institutions. It requires the unequivicol determination of international community to prosecute the terrorists in every military, economic, diplomatic, and humanitarian force that be be applied. I can't believe that people confuse Bin Laden's call for Holy War against Christians as a time for reflection and negotiation.
