<< you're a real gem, you know that? >> Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. << this isn't a "war" about religion. this is a war about justice and equality. >> Well...... just march your little arse out this morning to the nearest Islamic terrorist yelling Jihad, and tell HIM that. Do you feel that the promise of 20 virgins in Heaven, to young Muslim men who kill themselves, while butchering thousands of innocent people, is not a religious doctrine? This is definitely a war against religious extremists, who use religion to brainwash and motivate young men into murdering others for their god. In fact, throughout the world, and thoughout history, mankind has suffered wars between religious groups and fueled by religious dogma. << you only wish this world was ruled under islam. >> If that were the case, the world would still be reading with gas lanterns and riding mules, and children would be having their hands chopped off for stealing food. << are you kidding, or are you really that ignorant? >> The world witnessed the destruction of great Buddhist statues by Muslims. The world is witnessing the destruction of the Christian faith in Lebanon, and throughout the other Arab nations. Just how safe would the great Christian historical sites be under the control of the many Palestinian terrorists groups? Why am I ignorant suggesting such destruction is not only possible, but probable? << why don't you listen to your texan hero when he says that this war isn't a war on islam and that muslims are good people? >> I'm waiting for the Muslims to show that this is true, through their actions and their words, both of which are remarkably absent.
