Ten,

re: This is where you and I differ. You think all they care about is survival.

You are projecting your native Christian evangelism to another religion. Take my word for it, it's not a war of religion, it's a war of resources. The only way to win the war is to develop alternative resources.

If you continue to view the world through the narrow scope of your religion, you will never see an accurate picture. It will always be colored by your prejudice.

John

JF, What they care about is their culture, not the world. They are not trying to change the world.

This is where you and I differ. You think all they care about is survival. I argue that their desire is much broader than that. After all, I'm sure many Germans thought Hitler was only fighting for the survival of Germany ...


What you're saying is rather funny when you think about it. Its the western world that has manipulated and intruded in the ME for at least the past 150 years. Its the US that has worked behind the scenes to restructure the ME in our image for the last 50 years.

And yet, you've turned it around and make it seem like the ME is trying to restructure us and dominate the world. Do you see the irony in your hypothesis?
